TWO AMAZING RACES IN 3 DAYS
Records Make Hungary
Feared Track Power

He was back in the two miles
yesterday, mainly as a pace
maker for Iharos, but dropped
out after taking his countryman
to the mile and one-half mark
in 6:312. IharoS took it from
there and finished the last half
mile in 2:02.2. He ran the sew
e:Ith quarter mile in the aston
ishIng time of 59.6.
Wood, never better than 9:19
in the two miles before, came up
within three yards of the hust-
ling Hungarian on the back
stretch. But, as Iharos ex-
planned later, II was perhaps too
strong for him the last 100
yards"
Iharos, married and the father
of one child, said the. race was
the first time he ever ran the
distance. He has, however, run
frequently in races of 5000
meters, which is approximately
240 yards shorter than two miles.
Iharos scratched from Satur-
days mile race because he had
been shaken up too much in a
rough flight from Hungary the
previous day. He appeared
capable yesterday of doing a 1855
mile with ease.
