A half mile in 1:50.9 and
he's only been running in
competition for four years.
This is the st jry of Mike
Fleming, the Baltimore soph
omore, who -will be gunning
for a new 880 record this
Saturday in the Colorado dual
meet at Memorial Stadium.
The 22 year old industrial
arts major started out his
athletic career at Baltimore
Polytechnic Institute as a
football player, but when he
sustained a serious injury in
his junior year he decided to
take a crack at running and
a very profitable decision it
turned out to be.
Prep Record
In that first year of track
competition, Mike not only
won the 880 crown at the
Maryland state track meet,
but he posted a record in the
event that will probably stand
for many a season. After hav
ing trained for only a few
months, Mike ran a phenom
enal 1:55.4 half mile. Mike
considers this the greatest
thrill of his life.
While all of this was going
on a spectator from nearby
Georgetown College was tak

From The Outside
by randall lambert
During the past ten years the major leagues have paid
out 15 million dollars in bonus money for prospective stars.
Out of all the bonus babies who have received money, only
ten of them have become regulars in the majors. This is
approximately a million and one-half dollars for each of
these regular players. There are sixteen major league teams
so someone has been paying money for nothing.
While all this spending has been going on attendance has
dropped in most minor league cities and many minor league
teams have folded. People seem to be getting their baseball
appetites filled by Saturday telecasts and daily radio broad
easts. What can the majors do about this situation? They
can quit spending so much money on bonus babies and start
supporting the teams in their farm systems. If they would
pay some of the debts of their farm clubs, Improve their
facilities, and spend some money advertising ,they could
restore minor league ball in a lot of cities. They would also
have more talent in their systems from which to draw major
league players.
Baltimore Incident
An Incident which took place in the Baltimore chain shows
how conscious the parent teams are of minor league teams.
Baltimore assigned Kenneth Jenkins to the Paris, Texas club
of the Sooner State League. Jenkins contract was received by
Jim Bell the former business manager of the Paris team. He
was also informed that Jenkins had been purchased from
Portland for $100.
The only trouble was that Paris doesn't have a team this
year. The Sooner State League had folded.
Counterfeits
Since the beginning of baseball in the later 1800s, there
have been several different words used to describe a home
run. The home run has been called a circuit clout, a round
tripper, a four-bagger, and other names, especially by the
pitchers they have been hit off. This year there is another
word used around the majors, especially out in Los Angeles.
They are calling them "Los Angeles counterfeits." Last week
Lee Walls of the Chicago Cubs hit three of them in one game.
Walls claims these homers weren't "counterfeit." He says
they would have been home runs In several major league
parks. Incidentally, Walls hit a total of six home runs during
the whole season last year.
Frank Sevigne, then coach of
the powerful track monopo
lies of Georgetown College.
Frank remembered what he
saw on that day, and when
he came to Nebraska he
called on the sinuous speed
ster. He convinced him that
the powerful Big Seven Con
ference would offer keen com
petition to a runner of h i s
caliber.
During his freshman year
here he lowered his half
mile time to 1:54.8. He
gave the tedious mile run
a fling and did a remark'
able job 4:18.2.
Mike began this season run
ning around the 1:53 mark,
and his times have been nos
ing downward with each suc
cessive race. At the Michigan
State Relays he contributed
the fastest leg to the victo
rious two-mile relay team.
He also ran on the winning

Best Time
After a little tough going in
the Kansas Relays, Mike
came back with the best half
mile time of his career,
1:50.9, in carrying his team
mates to a smashing victory
in the sprint medley at the
Drake Relays.
Ii- the Colorado dual this
Saturday Mike will be facing
the strongest opponent he
has yet come up against in
Mike Peak. Peak has posted
a time of 1:50.2, but this was
also with a running start in
a relay race. This weekend
the two men will put meet
records and stadium records
on the line as they face off
in an open 830 dual. The old
meet record, 1:55.7, is sure
to fall. Both competitors have
had better times than the
Stadium mark which was set
in the NCAA track meet by
Wes Santee of Kansas with
a mark of 1:50.8 back in 1953.

If you answered "No" to all questions, you obvi
ously smoke Camela - a Teal cigarette. Only 6 or
7 "No" answers mean you better get on to Camels
fast. Fewer than 6 "No's" and it really doesn't
matter what you smoke. Anything's good enough!
But if you want to enjoy smoking as never before,
switch to Camels. Nothing else tastes so rich,
smokes so mild. Today more people smoke Camels
than any other cigarette. The best tobacco gives
you the best smoke. Try Camels and you'll agree!
