first backfield consisted of
Dennis Claridge, qb; Bill
Thornton, fb; Rudy Johnson,

Sights on 4-Minute Mile
By JAN SACK
Sports Staff Writer
Husker track star Mike
Fleming, recipient of this
week's Daily Nebraskan Star
of the Week award for his
4:05.7 anchor leg in the four-
mile relay at the Texas Re
lays, frankly feels that he can
and will run a four minute
mile.
"I know I can do better
than the 4:05.7 because I felt
very little fatigue after the
race," Fleming said reminis
cing on his performance. The
4:05.7 clocking was Mikes
best mile of his career.
Once in a 1500-meter race,
he ran a 3:45.5 which is equiv
alent to a 4:02.5 mile, but the
metric mile is about 118 yards
short of a regulation mile.
During his leg in the Texas
Relays, Fleming was pitted
against Pat Clohessy of Hous
ton who set the pace for the
race and led during most of
the leg. About 75 yards from
the finish Mike said, "I knew
I could take him and did it."
Fleming hit the tape about
five to eight yards ahead of
the Aussie.
Set Record
In finishing with the bril
liant mile, Fleming notched
the Huskers a record in the
Texas Relays with a 17:01.8
clocking to topple the old
mark of 17:02.8 set by Hous
ton last year.
Fleming's mile bv quarters
was :58, 2:02, 3:05 and 4:05.7.
He ran the last quarter in
:60.5 which wonhimthe race
"Unless vou get the last quar
ter down, yon might just as
well forget about it," Flem
ing noted.
In discussing a four minute
mile, Fleming said it's pos

thought of the four minute

Mike, who is 26, said that the

Although girl watching may be practiced in any place

After the Big Eight, Mike
is looking forward to the
NCAA in Eugene, Ore., and
the National AAU in Walnut,
Calif., where he will be able
to compete against top U.S.
stars.
Ex-Marine Ace
While he was in the Marine
Corps for three years, the 5'
10 star gained a lot of run
ning experience because the
training conditions were good
and the best runners in the
country trained with him.
Mike is also a member of the
Baltimore Olympic Club
where he gained considerable
experience in cross country
by running against teammate
John Gutknecht.
A native of Baltimore, Md.,
Fleming graduated from high
school in 1956 and then at
tended Nebraska for two
years before serving a three
vear hitch in the Marines.
Fleming's decision to come
back to Nebraska after re
ceiving his discharge last Sep
tember was because of his
desire for an education, his
ability in track with two years
of eiigibility left and an
acquired maturity. "The de
cision was made for me," he
said. Fleming is a junior in
Teachers College with a -ma
jor in physical education.
The Olympic Games of 1964
are included in the future
plans of the confidant, but
quiet Fleming. "I was in the
1960 Olympic trials and 1
came so near and yet so far.;
I'd like another crack at it
either the 1500 or 5000-me-l
ter event."
