Middle East Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 28, 1944, Cairo, Egypt                                By Dean Broome whether or not a human being can Betake himself one mile around a face track in four minutes is Atili a moot the closest anyone has come so far to exploding the myth a the four minute two weeks in when clipped off the distance in this time r by wont be recognized officially As a record until after the but it gives the Savante of sports something to think about Back in some of the track using charts of expectancy and and applying mathematical Laws dealing with physiological came up with As the absolute limit of human endurance in running the schoolmaster Anderson showed this time want and later scholars in matters of track Dis carded the 1935 theory As out in the four minute mile has already been by Andersons Guilder the Wunder this occurred Early in july in when Haegg covered the 1500meter distance in 3 minutes and 43 out foot ing Anderson by a the reasoning is for generations track followers not at tuned metric distances have evaluated 1500meter performances in terms of the mile by adding 17 seconds for the 120yard Gap be tween the two classic plus equals and you have your four minute naturally this method of Deduc Tion results in Only an approx Ima Haegg at Gothenburg was travelling at the rate of Yards a at this Speed he would Coyer the remaining distance to the mile in this is not to imply Haegg could have covered the remaining 120 Yards in or even 17 but apparently he was primed for the mile at the and under practically perfect conditions of track and it indicates that the four minute mile May be just around the Cor the Gap Between the 1500meter and the mile in matter of time is probably closer to 18 Haegg himself gave Best evidence the time differential last july in the Harvard he was clocked at at 1500 meters and raced to for the cover ing the intervening distance in the difference was seconds when Paivo Nurmi got his records of and in 1942 Haegg produced records of Ana and in 1943 Anderson made them and seconds Between them More will probably be heard from the Haeg Ganderson rivalry before the swedish season closes in and

both entertaining and instructive but i fear i must differ with you on your interpretation of softball rules on 7 of the june 30 according to interpretations i have seen made of the situation described by the base runner is Safe if he was not tag a Force exists when he is on first and Batter hits a fair Ball of than an infield Fly and he May be put out merely by having tie Ball beat him to second but the moment the Batter is put out the Force automatically is nullified and the if not thrown out at second before the Batter is Reti May be put out Only by actually being he Inay run to
