Sputtered Gargan, when an official disqualified him: "I wouldn't call a thing like that on my grandmother...
Without question, Roger Bannister was Britain's best foot forward in spiked shoes since the great Sydney Wooderson. Another Oxford lad, Nick Stacey, ran off with the 100-and 220-yd. dashes and Teammate Philip Morgan took the twomile. But in the hurdles and field events, where professional coaching pays off, the coach-less Britons flopped. They lost the meet...
