...Such stoicism is plainly un-American-which explains why a foreigner has won every Patriot's Day marathon in almost a decade. Last week was no exception: the winner was Japan's Kenji Kimihara, 25, who pit-patted across the line in 2 hr. 17 min. 11 sec.-just 38 sec. off the record. As it turned out, though, the day's most eyecatching performance was turned in by a 112-lb. American who did not dare take the physical exam-because she was a woman...
Luckily, many of them can. Senior George Anderson, 23, a native of Baton Rouge, La., was the world's No. 1 ranked sprinter in 1965; he has clocked 9.3 sec. for the 100-yd. dash. New Orleans' Theron Lewis, 21, is the U.S.'s fastest quarter miler-at 45.8 sec.-runs the anchor leg on Southern's one-mile relay team, which tied the world record (3 min. 4.5 sec.) at last year's California Relays. Robert Johnson, of Princeton, La., is 21 and only a sophomore...
...stater to fill a slot-like Ohio's Willie Davenport, an ex-paratrooper and 22-year-old freshman, who turned down U.C.L.A. ("No sense me going there and flunking out") to come to Southern; two weeks ago, he ran the 120-yd. high hurdles in 13.2 sec. to tie the world record set in 1959 by West Germany's Martin Lauer. With runners like Anderson, Lewis, Johnson and Davenport, S.U. has not lost a dual meet in years. Last week at the Grambling Relays, Southern swept the 100 (Anderson), the 440 (Johnson), the mile and two mile relays...
Only 30 himself and a Southern graduate ('60), Hill coached for two years at Florida A. & M., where he trained Sprinter Bob Hayes, the current world record holder (at 9.1 sec.) in the 100-yd. dash. Two years ago, Hill returned to Southern to build up his alma mater's record book. He works his boys six days a week, and if anyone gets uppity, Hill has a ready answer: "Let's race." A former decathlon star, he can still run the 100 in under 10 sec. and high jump 6 ft. 10 in. "Other coaches...
...Jean-Claude Killy, 22: the men's giant slalom in the international High Sierra ski cup races; at Heavenly Valley, Calif. Beaten by his French teammate, Georges Maudit, in another giant slalom race the day before, Killy zipped through the 57 gates in 1 min. 32 sec. to beat Maudit by 1 sec. Another French skier, Leo LaCroix, finished third, and the top American, California's Jimmy Heuga, wound up fourth...
