...Houston. Olympic Hurdles Champion Lee Calhoun came back from a Philadelphia defeat by Decathlon Champion Milt Campbell and beat Campbell in Washington with a world indoor record 8.2 sec. time for the 70-yd. high hurdles. Olympian Ira Murchison improved on a disputed victory over Duke's Dave Sime in the 50-yd. dash at Philadelphia by whipping Sime at 70, 80 and 100 yards in Washington in times...
...Dashes. Duke's Dave Sime broke from the starting blocks in his trial heat, took four strides and collapsed onto the track, a flame of pain burning in his groin. The U.S. Olympic Committee had waived a sound rule, but on sound sentiment, to allow Sime to compete in the 200 meters after the same pulled muscle kept him from qualifying at the N.C.A.A. trials. But Sime could not even finish the 100, and slamming his fist against a locker-room door later, he moaned: "What shall I do now? What?" Abilene Christian's Bobby Morrow, perhaps...
...last chance for U.S. athletes to qualify for the final Olympic trials in Los Angeles this week, Abilene Christian's blond blur, Bobby Morrow, paced the sprinters with a world-record-tying 0:10.2 in a 100-meter heat. (At Berkeley doctors hoped that Duke's David Sime, recuperating from a pulled groin muscle, would be able to resume his duel with Morrow at Los Angeles and try for an Olympic berth.) Pitt's lithe Negro star Arnie Sowell easily stood off Olympic Champion Mai Whitfield in an 800-meter heat and set a new A.A.U. record...
Because of the U.S. Olympic Committee's self-imposed arbitrary method of selecting the U.S. Olympic team, the injury suffered by Dave Sime last week may keep him from running the 200-meter dash in the games at Melbourne this November. The U.S. team will automatically be picked from the top men in the Olympic tryouts at month's end, but Sime's injury was not likely to heal in time to let him first qualify in the 200 meters at a pretrial meet this week in the National A.A.U. championships at Bakersfield, Calif. Fortunately, Sime qualified...
...that time last week; Middle-Distance Runner Arnie Sowell, a wisp of a Negro with the delicate legs of a thoroughbred, who set an American record in the 800 meters at 1 :46.7, just a second slower than the worlds record; and, of course, Dave Sime, world record holder in the 220-yd. dash and the 220-yd. low hurdles, and co-holder of the world's record in the 100-yd. dash. As a backstop to Sime, Abilene Christian's Bobby Morrow qualified for the final tryouts last week with a 200-meter dash...
