Browns Seek Help From Draft To Boost 1953 Backfield
The Cleveland Browns pushed to acquire halfbacks with speed and scoring punch after a weak 1952 backfield. Drafted were Billy Reynolds of Pitt and Fred Braney of Ohio State, while Billy Wessels and Johnny Olszewski fell short. Reynolds starred in the Shrine East win and fits the T formation. Braney is noted for defense. Also noted: Clarence Beyo Francis of basketball continues a high scoring pace, four other college standouts threaten King’s scoring record, plus club moves and golf and coaching notes.

Australian fails in attempt at four minute mile record
Perth Australia Jonn Sandy's heralded bid to become the first to run a four minute mile failed on a grass track. The 22 year old Arie clocked 4 04 4, well off the 4 20 24 world mark set by Gunder Haegg in 1945. A crowd of about 12 000 at Leederville oval watched Laraiy outpace eight rivals by 120 yards, offering no excuses for the lapse.
