In this r,ce, ho trailed Kitchen in the earlv ~oing passing 10 ~ in :,3:30 and 2?_in 1:45:35. Kitchen ,r.s 53:23 and 1:43:12.

A,\U C nvention. Tho Canadians may i,:ell balk at thi o, however, bec:.use of th~ travel uponse . The Lugano Cup, the ifor ld R.ace rlalking Cha;:p­ionship io set for Switzerland on Oct , 12-13. The Swiss have sc hed­uled th ; Airol ~ Chiasso Realy f or Oct . 14 , hoping to catc h na ey te~.s tlim bling tack. The Race \'lalking C;,r:-.;nittee has requested .J6,000 for tho Lugano t rip and $1 , 00 0 for travel for the U. S.-Canada meet,

In et her Col'!Jllittee actio n , Bruce 1-:acDonald was n~med to cont~nue as repre 11entatiTe to the U. S. Olympi c Co;;;initt oe, with JL~ Eentloy, Heney Las kau and Dean Ine raa as his alter nat eo. Larry Young was selected as a ca ndidat e both for the Sullivan Award and the DiBcnedetto Ai,;ard, the l;ittcr giv en for the outst:i.n dinp; perfor:~;rnco in track ;ind field . It was decided t hat the All- Arucrican te0..'11 should i nclud e the first two in eac h Nation al Senior race, plus third place in the 20 a nd 50, plu s all Oly:r.pic co~petitoro. Suggeoted qualifying times fo~ the Ch~'lipi~n shi p Tr-ck l·~et s were: for the Indoor race either 6:45 :11110, 13:40 3K:n, or l..4:40 2 ~:il e; for t ho Outdoor race 15:20 for 2 llliles , 23:50 for 3, or 24: 50 fer 5 K-..

One disturbing note fro.'ll the meeting , which rea lly had not~i~ t~ do with th e b•..isinecs of tho cc.,rn:n.ittee, regards th e future of v:.u.king i n tho Olyr.pic s. There has been talk here and t her e for the past c_ouplo_ of years that the IAAF is oeriouuly considering dropping l~l'.lking . Th1s has now como pretty much int• the open as revealed in Dan Ferri s' re p•rt frwlli th e lAAF raee ting s. I t see'lis· that tho International Olynpic Co;':l:nit­tee has r eco ::-..~ended to each sports 1,oTer ning body that they consir.er t::eans of either red\!cins tho nu;;1ber of eve nts or the nur.1!:er o f entries. The f irst reco1:J~cnrlation of the IAAF was to drop the Triple Ju;np and the two walks . Why the tri ple jll,jp , I don ' t know, but it is apparen tly now 't-.cK in goo d graces . However, the walks -1~y sti ll be in jeopa rdy, tho ra.tioral e apparently bei ~ tr affic proble1ts . ( fut no one h.!s co:-;sider ed droppi:,g t.'1e ;r.arathcm.) The If.AF Walking Committee h:.s su gr~eoted that eit her the walks can be cc !"!ductcd on a ci rc ul ar course of 5 to 8 kal near the StadiU!l! or t hat a 30 Nu can re plac e th e two presor.t walko . If tr af­fic 1~ tho c,nly problc~ , t he first solution is obvious ; there 1o no reason th e raco::i have to stretch out through tho city.

probler.i at all. One thir.g favor i ni continuaticn of the walks, at lea.Gt for 1976 , is that the Canadian or.g«nizine co::a~it.t ee app.rently favors t~c~ ar.d l:..ve a co'.lrse planned in and ar-:>und the St;adiu,n . &b Cicr.g­cn:;::c~, t!'!e C!-!ai!~:;a:i of the US Tr;.ck & Field Co:-.-::ittcc, was at tt:o R'd Cc.::~ittco :::eoti:'lt, and is i:1 suppo:-t c,f t::e C(!T,tint:ation of t:e ~:alks.
