Drubs
Rice
BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK. June 81. (UP)-The
two runners-Gunder Hagg and
Greg Rice-were still bewildered
when they met with dramatic en-
barrassment in the cavernous con-
crete corridor beneath Triborough
stadium after yesterdays historic
| 5000-meter race.
And the things they said to each
other. without benefit of FORE
thought or preparation, revealed
that each was somewhat amazed at
the result of their gruelling run.
Both were hurrying to their dress
ing rooms from different directions
both drenched with perspiration
both aching from the lead in
their legs-both craving flop on
the rubbing table and the refresh
ment of shower.
Hagg, the victory, grabbed Rice's
hand and pumped it enthuSiastical-
ly, saying in Swedish: That was
the hardest race I ever had. You're
a great runner-Rice."
But as the tall, skinny SWede
wrung Rice's hand you could see
the bewilderment in his eyes and
detect it in his address. He still
was wondering how his stocky, bar
rel-chested opponent, who had
forced him on through the ham,
mering heat with the threat of a
last-lap sprint, had lost by the sur
prising margin of nearly 40 yards.
Hagg still couldn't believe that
margin, although he had extended
himself to such an extent in the fl
nal stages of the grind that he
dropped completely exhausted to
the grass of the stadium infield aft
er the race.
Rice gazed at the taller victor in
wide-eyed disbelief-as if he were
looking at a miracle man. His
expression explained that it still
seemed impossible that Tagg had
beaten him by such a margin after
Rice's 5 straight victories.
In his eat-drenched white run
ming shorts, Greg grinned wryly and
declared: 1T certainly was my
hardest race, too"
Then they continued on to their
dressing TOOnlS.
Tagg's quarters, where large
Swedish delegation had gathered
were permeated with Subdued gratl-
fication over the victory. Trainer
Alex Nordquist modified the gen
eral satisfaction by explaining that
Haggs comparatively slow time of
ID minutes 48.5 seconds was caused
by % an agonizing headache that
gripped him yesterday morning
90 the terrific heat, and CD his
lack of proper training.
Meanwhile, in Rice's dressing
room, his trainer. Frank Martin
blew up" when a reported asked
Rice if he would like to meet Hagg
again. Rice, mindful of his train
er's temper, managed to evade by
saying: Il don't know about that
now" Then Trainer Martin
snarled, Don't ask him that again
I'll tell you right now that Rice
won't race Hagg again until Rice
gets time to train properly He
wasn't in shape to run today and
he won't run against Hagg again
until he is in shape. I'll see to that
I'LL"
Naval officers, near the rubbing
table of Chief Specialist Rice of the
Maritime Service, muffled Martins
explosions and asked the reporters
to leave the room.
