Captain Keith Colburn is experiencing pain in his right thigh. He did not work out Wednesday and only jogged on Thursday, but he should be able to run Saturday even if he's not at his best...
...throat itself is a bit suspect: his keening, virile baritone has an alarming tendency to wobble. What seems to matter to female spectators is the way he writhes to a funky beat, tears off his tie, slashes the air rhythmically with both arms and strains his pelvis and thigh muscles against trousers that seem to have been sprayed on.

While still in the service, he qualified for the 1964 U.S. Olympic team but failed to make the finals in Tokyo because of a pulled thigh muscle. Last year, he again made the Olympic team and again was troubled by injuries. It was apparently just the kind of pressure he needed. He relaxed his way into the finals and then tied an Olympic record for the 110-meter hurdles with a winning time of 13.3 seconds...
