Ovett has said that he wants his first mile race with Coe to be on British soil. Ovett is reclusive and shuns interviews. Coe is more accessible and is comfortable in crowds. Coe, 24, stands 5-foot-9'2 and weighs 129 pounds.

Ovett, 25, is 6-foot, 154 pounds. They have different training philosophies Coe emphasizes speed, and Ovett emphasizes strength workouts. They'll probably meet in the mile someday, but there is, perhaps, more publicity value now to the phantom rivalry. After all, a series of races between Coe and Ovett would likely determine who is No. 1.

Now they share center stage. AT YOUR Idahoan wins title at rodeo By Karen Kness Special for The Republic PAYSON An Idaho cowboy won all-around honors Sunday at the 97th Payson Rodeo. Dee Pickett of Caldwell, Idaho, won $1,563 after competing in team- and individual-roping events. Pickett and his team-roping partner, Mike Beers of Rufus, each won $533 in team roping. A team from Livingston, won the team-roping title.

Two hot days here did not deter about 15,000 rodeo fans from watching three rounds of competition, two on Saturday and one on Sunday, said Chamber of Commerce Manager Jim Pettinotti. The rodeo drew some of the top competitors in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). Events were team roping, calf roping, barrel racing, bareback riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc and bull riding. Pickett, ranked fourth among PRCA calf ropers, was first in calf-roping average. Sharon Camarillo of Lockeford, was first in barrel racing with an average time of 36.24 seconds.

Jim Payne of Gilbert tied with Joe Stephens of Las Vegas, for first in bareback riding with rides of 71 seconds. Arizonans also won steer wrestling and saddle-bronc riding titles. Ron Graves of Douglas was the low average scorer in steer wrestling at 12.5 seconds. Dennis Reiners of Scottsdale and Monty Lira of Flagstaff tied for first in saddle-bronc riding. Two men also tied for first in bull riding.

Donny Critchlon of Fort Towson, and Richard Escalante of Tucson each rode the bull in 73 seconds. FINAL AVERAGES Teem Repine 1. AMen Bach and Jake Barnes, Livingston, M.4 seconds; 2. Dee Pickett, Caldwell, Idaho, and Mike Beers, Rufus, 14.6; 3. Mark Simon and Jav Simon, Florence, 15A But RMrtt 1.

Complete bumper-to-bumper service and maintenance, jjbq stated, at the tote board for the six minutes the 'Jphdtjx finish" sign stayed up. When John Henry's nijaur was put up, Rubin jumped a foot off the pound and yelled: "I knew it! I was saying to myself ill this time, 'I know we got him, I know we got him and we did!" Many in the crowd of 30,637 about 10,000 fewer than what was expected thought The Bart Bad won because the camera used for television rponitors and replays was about 25 feet to the right of the wire, giving a distorted view that favored the Horse on the inside. John Henry, coupled in the betting with gtablemate Super Moment, returned $4 to win.

Madam Gay, a 3-year-old filly from England, finished third, 2A lengths behind The Bart and half a length ahead of Key to Content, the early leader. The time for the mile and a quarter over the mushy course was 2:07. "I was looking at some charts of Arlington turf races earlier today," recalled Ron McAnally, the winner's trainer, after the race. "I noticed that very few horses win on the lead here, so I told Shoemaker to take him back a little. But I didn't expect to see him that far out." Shoemaker said: "I was wide at the beginning and had to drop in to the inside.

I knew I had enough horse I just hoped I had enough ground." John Henry, a gritty 6-year-old gelding, seemed exhausted from his efforts and was in no mood for the lengthy, crowded winner's circle presentation that followed his victory. He wheeled and snorted, kicking mud on anyone near him, and was quickly excused from the ceremonies. Noting that the effort took so much out of John Henry, Rubin was indefinite about his next start. "It's nice to be wanted," he said, "but everybody's, after me now. I'm leaning in any it's toward California.

They've been terrific to us out there, and that's where the horse had his first big days." Rubin is in no hurry because John Henry can pick up the prizes he misses this season next year or year after. Because he is a gelding, he will not be retired, Rubin says, until he stops running at top Iform. John Henry, sold for $1,100 as a yearling and five times before Rubin got him, now has career earnings of $2,464,510. This payday moved him ahead of Affirmed into second place on the all-Itime earnings list. He is only $317,097 behind Spectacular Bid.

seven-tenths of a second in eight years John' Walker's 3:49.4 in 1975. possible that milers will be running 3:40 by the year 2000, based on the timetable of this century. Jules Ladoumegue of France was the first to break the 4:10 "barrier" (4:09.2) in 1931 and, 23 years later, Bannister ran the first sub-four-minute mile. After that, it took only 21 years to get the record below 3:50 (Walker's 3:49.4 in "75). So it's conceivable that a mile will be run in another.

20 years or so. "If people continue to train as they are training today and nothing new comes up, I'd be confident no one could run 3:43," said Liquori, whose best time was 3:52.2 in 1975. "However, there is a new invention, an altitude simulator. You wear it on your shoulder and breathe into a mask. Now, if some kid starts running at 10 years old and wears this mask for the next 20 years, we don't know what type of runner it will develop." But isn't there an outer limit, a point that will be reached where man simply can't run a mile any faster despite physical improvement and scientific advancement? "Everyone has been proven wrong who has predicted an ultimate time," Liquori said.

"Obviously, the world record in the 400 (43.86 by Lee Evans in 1968 at Mexico City) is close to the limit because it hasn't been broken in over 10 years. "So you'd have to say the limit in the mile for the next 100 years is someone who can run fbur quarter-miles in 45 seconds. He would have to be so strong that he doesn't get tired and also be one of the best quarter- milers in the world. But the human body would have to change quite a bit." Loe Angeles Times When Roger Bannister became the first man to run a sub-four-minute mile, 3:59.4 in 1954 at Oxford, England, it was considered an incredible accomplishment The mystique about a four-minute mile was such that some people considered it an unpenetrable barrier, physically and mentally. Now, 27 years later, the record is 3:47.33 but maybe not for long.

The mark, set Friday, was the third mile record in 10 days. For sure, 1981 will be remembered as the year the milers converged on the clock. It's a hounds-and-hare scenario. Britain's incomparable middle-distance runners, Stove Ovett and Sebastian Coe, are the hares and haven't been caught. They have alternately broken the mile record five times since 1979 and exchanged it three times within 10 days Coe running 3:48.53 Aug.

19 at Zurich, Switzerland; Ovett lowering the mark to 3:48.40 Wednesday in Koblenz, West Germany, and Coe taking more than a second off the record with his 3:47.33 Friday in Brussels, Belgium. And they're bringing out the best in everyone else. For example, Kenya's Mike Boit, 32, regarded as a half-miler who is near the end of his career, has been timed in 3:49.45 and 3:49.74. Todd Harbour, a good but not great miler from Baylor, has run 3:50.34. Why the world records and fast times by others? In an interview with Marty Liquori, a former top miler, it was suggested that more mile races with excellent fields are being run now' than ever before.

In addition, it may just be time for a breakthrough in the mile, consider-. ing that Jim Ryun ran 3:51.1 in 1967 and his time was improved by only mumemuotugzl TOSTOTHATWtt ALFANN SUBARU 1333 E.

Carner's career earnings are A half-dozen other golfers challenged Carner during the final round, but only Rankin posed a serious threat. She shaved four strokes from par on the first six holes to momentarily tie Carner at 9-under par for the tournament.

But Carner birdied the sixth hole while Rankin, playing ahead, bogeyed the seventh, and Carner quickly reclaimed a two-shot edge. Carner, 42, a native of Palm Beach, added birdies at No. 8 and No. 10 and went 12-under for the tournament. No one got within two shots of her after that.

Nancy Lopez-Melton, bothered by a shoulder injury this season, fired the best round of the tournament, getting birdies on eight of the first 13 holes and finishing with a course-record 8-under-par 64. But she was far off the lead entering the final round and wound up with a total of Rep(iblic Sports Wires 'Bill Rogers rolled in a 12-foot birdie piltt.on the final hole Sunday to break a tie with Tom Kite and win the $400,000 Wotfd Series of Golf in Akron, Ohio. Rogers, the British Open started the day two shots behind third-routid. leader Hale Irwin. But he battled Irwin and Kite shot for shot on the final seven holes before making the clutch putt that earned him the $100,000 first prize.

Rogers' 34-33 67 Sunday gave him a a -5-under par 275 on the par-70 Firestone Country Club layout. Kite also had a final-round 67 and finished at 276. Irwin, who shot a 72, ended at 278, tied with Japan's Isao Aoki, who had a 67. i "Walking up to the green, I didn't want" to let. it go any more holes (to a playoff), because my playoff record isn't very good 0-2," Rogers said.

The victory gave Rogers the biggest prize in golf, $100,000 from the total purse of. $400,000, his third victory of the year and thrust him into a four-way battle for golf 8 Player of the Year.

'Golf architect Jack Snyder of Phpenix laid it out as a challenging 6335-yard course with a par of 35-35 Johnny Riggle, Arizona Golf Asso-catieo executive director, reviewed the layout last week to rate it. He endorses Snyder's effort Riggle rated the course 70.5 from championship tees, 69.0 from the regular markers and 66.4 from the up-front seniors' tees, which play 5,561 yards.
