Four Minute Mile Still Slipping Away For Camien
John Damien of Kansas State, racing in Milwaukee, continued to chase the four minute mile barrier. He won the indoor mile title at the Milwaukee Journal Games with a 4:02.7, following earlier 4:00.7 outdoors and 4:01.9 indoors at Mason-Dixon. Coach Fran Welch spoke of imminent success as Damien pressed Loyola’s Tom O’Hara for the milestone, but could not reach it before 10,159 fans. Damien, a 20 year old junior, led the field and remains a major contender.
