I i St l.ft.V.lllili I fcf.t I II. i By LeROT BEARMAN Journal Sports Editor When you think of John Baker, you probably think of the finest miler ever developed in Albuquerque. You're most likely not aware that there are dayi when the Manzano High grad and two-time Western Athletic Conference mile champion for New Mexico is a sprinter. These days don't come on the track, though you might auspect he's sprinting when he starts his final 330-yard kick which has left many "name" milers embarrassed as they choke on his dust. They usually come on city streets or golf courses or in parks and the mountains when John is strenuously training.

That's when the asparaguslike Baker must call on all of his reserves to outrun an attacking dog or a carelessly aimed bullet. John now carries a spray can to fight off the dogs. But the nearsighted hunters are a different matter. They obviously feel anyone silly enough to run around in the mountains in his "underwear" is fair game. Turn in Upsets Most of his opponents, after looking at his frail body, feel he's fair game, also.

But as Coach Hugh Hack-ett will tell you about his prize pupU. when there's been a big race, Baker has come through with upset after upset. But if his Monroe Junior Hish baseball coach. Ollie Pembroke didn't believe in conditioning, Baker might not have been a miler today with ambitions of breaking four minutes before the summer is out. "He made us run a mile every day," John recalled.

"I used to beat John Haaland, running in street clothes." Baker was a centerfielder ana batted .343 his final year at Monroe. "When we went to Manzano, Coach (Bill) Wolffarth asked Haaland to go out for cross country, and I thought I'd try, too," said John. The Springfield, native who moved to Albuquerque when he was nine after stops in Chicago, Wisconsin, Georgia and Tennessee, ran third in the state cross country meet his first time out. lace Unser Brothers Ready for lowered that mark to 4:11.5 before the year was out. Bothered by a weak arch aupnort his sophomore year, Jonn's best time was But he scored his first big upset that year, winning the WAC mil.

His eophomora year was the one which also produced a big turning point In his track career. Baker went to the NCAA at Eugene, Ore, and realized for the first time he might be as good as Hackett had been telling him. I went by tha 1320 (three-quarters of a mile) in 3:03 and waa in second place." he said. Then I got spiked about three times and was out of it. But I knew then what my capabilities were." As a Juiior John lowered his school record to 4:09.5 and recorded his biggest thrill, one which many city track fans shared.

Rated no better than third, John ran off and left Southern Cal'a Bruce Bess and Chris Johnson behind and gleefully romped across the finish line with finger raised in a Church-illian for victory pose. Southern Cal never recovered and suffered its worst track defeat ever. John lost his achool record to teammate Mike Thornton this aeaaon, but he lowered his career best to 4:05.4 and won his second WAC mile title. He also ran his greatest race ever when he clocked 4:05 8 in Albuquerque's altitude, the second fastest time ever run here, "I think that was a four minute mile at sea level. I could have run 4:04 here if I'd had to, but nobody came with me." Credits Teammates Lobo two miler George Scott and Thornton, both newcomera to UNM this year, get a lot of credit from Baker: "Training with George and running against Mike have made a big difference.

I'd still he a 4:10 mile if it wasn't for them." Baker wasn't supposed to run this year. He spent last summer recovering from mononucleosis anemia and hepatitis. And he almost quit at mid-season when he developed a knee problem which forced him to poorly in a big race at Abilene. John will live on the West Coast this summer where he plans to run along with Thornton, Web Loudat an Pat Cox with either the Long Beach 49ers or the Southern California Stridors. Then he'll return to Albuquerque and try to convert its altitude training advantage into a 1968 berth on the U.S.

Olympic team in Mexico. So if you see an ear muffed, gloved stranger running around in two pairs of sweat pants next winter, keep your guns and dogs in check until you're sure there are no UFO's around.
