Trooper 36-24-36. The originator of the series is Richard Orkin, 32, WCFL's director of creative production. A Yale Drama School dropout, he is also the voice of Chickenman and other male characters. The rest of the cast are Disk Jockey Jim Runyon, as the pomegranate-voiced announcer, and, in the female roles, Jane Roberts, WCFL's ex-traffic reporter ("Trooper...
...much for science. Texas Southern's Jim Hines, 20, is not the least bit pigeon-toed-in fact, he's just a little duck-footed, and it may be a good thing. If he were 100% efficient, there is no telling how fast he could run. Three times last winter Hines tied the indoor world record of 5.9 sec. in the 60-yd. dash. Last month, in the 100-yd. dash at Houston's Southwestern Athletic Conference meet, he got off to a so-so start, still was timed in 9.1 sec.-equaling the world record...
...team is particularly strong in jumping. Galliers, Skip Hare, and John Avault swept nearly every meet in both the long and triple jumps. Jim Coleman (6 ft. 3 in.) and Bill McBride (6 ft.) were consistent point getters in the high jump, and between them won in all but one meet. Paul Frankel scored well in the pole vault...
Beyond equipment, there is the matter of modern training. Athletes have always trained, but never so scientifically, so intensely. Glenn Cunningham, who set a world mark of 4 min. 6.8 sec. for the mile in 1934, used to call it a day after a lazy three-mile practice run; Jim Ryun, the University of Kansas sophomore who last year lowered the record to 3 min. 51.3 sec., runs at least twelve miles a day, lifts weights to increase lung capacity and competes against sprinters in relays to sharpen his speed. No longer do athletes worry about becoming musclebound, says Chemical...
Crimson two-miler Jim Baker may not receive a victory as a homecoming present. Al Altman of Oxford is the South African record holder at three miles and would be a sure bet in the two mile. If Alman runs the mile, he will have to battle both Shaw and Yale's 4:08 miler, Steve Bittner...
