The athlete who seems most like
ly of the runners of the world to
break the Worlds Record for the
mile run, Frank T. Dixon, of N.Y.U.,
is now Cpl Of the 355Oth Ordnance
Co., stationed at Ft. Huachuca.
Cpl. Dixon, who is only 81 wears
old, has clicked 400 for the 1760-
yard-dash, while the official World
Record stands at 4:O6. It is even
possible that young Dixon will be
the first man in the world to run
the mile in 400 minutes flat, as he
has not yet developed to his full sta
ture as a distance runner.
He is the cream of intercollegiate
distance runners, having still 21b
years of college competition ahead
OF him and being rated No. l of the
crop from his freshman year at
N.Y.U.
In addition to his track activities.
Frank Dixon swims exceptionally
well. having held a post as Life
Guard at the Astoria Swimming
Pool in NY, and he is Ping Pong

Army Air Forces Officer Candidate
School here, stands 6 feet 5 inches,
weighs a mere 225 pounds and
boasts waistline Of only 80 inches.

! date has enjoyed meteoric rise in
the Army. He is an outstanding
performer on the track, on the grid
iron, and in the boxing arena.
While at Carver High School,
Phoenix, Ariz., O'NeaI set state
record for the 440-yard dash with a
time of SO seconds. Later, repre-
senting Phoenix Jnior College in
the National Junior College meet at
Modesto, Calf, he lowered his own

At this same meet, he tossed the
16-pound shot 81 feet, 5 inches.
