...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 set by Bob Hayes in 1963. Two weeks later in Modesto, Calif...
Tying world records seems to be Jim Hines's fate-so far. When he was a senior at McClymonds High School in Oakland, Calif. Hines tied Jesse Owens' 31-year-old schoolboy mark of 9.4 sec. for 100 yds. That earned him a $1,200-a-year scholarship to Texas Southern. But when Hines first turned out for track at T.S.U., Coach Stan Wright was appalled: "Jim's starts were awful. He didn't concentrate...
...thinks he can break four world records (100 yds., 100 meters, 220 yds. and 200 meters) this summer. He showed why last week when, on a slow track at the Los Angeles Coliseum, he beat San Jose State's Tommie Smith, the 220-yd. world recordholder (at 20 sec. flat) by three yards in 20.5 sec...
Protecting the Stockholder. Despite their swift ascendancy, cash tender bids remain beyond the scrutiny of the SEC-a fact that enhances their popularity. But the SEC feels that "the unwary public" needs protection, notably more information to help stockholders evaluate confusing claims of rival tender offers. Accordingly, the commission is backing a bill by New Jersey's Democratic Senator Harrison Williams that would require a tender bidder to disclose his name, financing arrangements, and any plans he has for the firm. Though most brokerage firms and investment bankers favor regulation, many disagree with one part of the bill, which...
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...
