Perhaps it is the fine track at Ramsauer Stadium.

Certainly it is the field Coach Herschel Smith invites. The cool of evening may be another factor. As director of the meet, Smith has specialized in top-quality mile races. With the Olympic 1500-meter record holder, Ron Delanygoing against Elliott, he has the talent again. BOTH ELLIOTT AND DELANY are stretch sprinters, so someone else in the field is going to have to step forward and set the necessary sizzling pace and no false pacers, please! Friday night's field follows in some illustrious miters' footsteps.

For instance, Sweden's Lennart Strand ran the fastest mile in Pacific Coast history in 1950 when he clicked off a 7.3s. for the four laps. Naturally, this has since paled into insignificance, but it was hot stuff then. Another important chapter unfolded the next year when Occidental's Bob McMillen upset the highly favored Willie Slykhuis of Holland in the featured mile. That was the first time Bob gave indication of his greatness.

If you will remember, he missed beating Josy Barthel of Luxembourg by inches in the 1952 Olympics at Helsinki. CONTROVERSIAL WES SANTEE of Kansas figured in another great mile in 1953 when he ran away from Finland's Dennis Johansson and Belgium's Gaston Reiff at Compton in 4:02.4, the third fastest mark in history at that time. Wes came back in 1954 and 1955 with spectacular miles of 4:00.6 and 4:01.2. It was at Compton that Delany, a product of Eire) made his first great impact on the track world. It was here in 1956 that he came from far back to catch Gun-nar Nielsen of Denmark, hitting the wire in 3:59.

Nielsen was clocked in 3:59.1, Fred Dwyer in 4:00.8, and Bobby Seaman in 4:01.4. That race stamped Delany as the man to, beat at Melbourne in the first September Games ever held. None did. Last year Australia's Merv Lincoln defeated a fine field that included Laszlo Tabori of Hungary and Seaman. PRIOR TO 1948, the Compton events were run at metric distances and some fine 1500-meter races resulted.

For example, Don Lash of Indiana won the 1938 edition and in 1941 Les MacMitchell of NYU whipped Wisconsin's Walter Mehl and SC's Leroy Weed in 3:51.4. That was good time for those days. Strand also iigured in those metric miles of that era. He won in 3:51.6 in 1946. So, the heritage is there for a sensational performance before the usual packed throng at Ramsauer Stadium Friday night when Elliott, Delany and company sally forth for another whack John Landy'sj recognized record of 3:58 and the 3:57.2 "paced" mile by Derek Ibbotson which is still pending and may stay that way.

It was Delany's victory at Melbourne that incited Elliott to come out of premature retirement, so this will be their first meeting.

He walked in the winning 'run in a Cincy game, but Newk picked up the tab. Sandy beat the Braves on two hits in 11 innings and gave up an unearned run to the Pirates in a 7-1 breeze. The Redlegs, loaded with such right-hand hitters as Frank Robinson, Don Hoak, Johnny Temple and the all- time Angel powerhouse, Steve Bilko, figure to take 1953, when the Giants were quartered at New York's Polo Grounds and the Dodgers at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field, figures to, make the strongest bid.

But while he's batting a sensational .407, Wonderful Willie hasn't muscled many oer the fence of late. In fact, his last homer came on May 23. In '51 Willie homered 22 times at the Polo Grounds, or once every 3V games. He hasn't found Seals Stadium nearly as inviting, having connected there only four TODAY IN SPORTS HORSE RACING Hoi-1 lywood Park, 1:45 p.m. BASEBALL Dodgers vs.

Redlegs, 8 p.m. great quarterbacks, Bob Waterfield, is returning to his old ball club, the Los Angeles Rams. Unfortunately, Water-field, who wound up a sen sational eight-year pro career at the end of the 1952 season, won't be returning as an active player. Instead he has signed a one-year contract to serve as an assistant to Sid Gillman. In making this announcement yesterday, Gillman said Waterfield's assignment will have to do with the development of the Ram quarterbacks a Billy Wade and Rookies Frank Ryan (Rice) and Bobby Cox (Minnesota).

Help Needed "The Rams couldn't have found a better man for this job and just when they need plenty of quarterback help what with the departure of Norm Van Brocklin with whom Waterfield shared du ties before his retirement.

In introducing his upw coach to the nress'vesterdav afternoon, Coach Gillman said facetiously "He didh't read the fine print in his contract which says he may be called upon to play a little for us." Untested Commodity: Gillman laughed as he made this statement, but might have been laughing on the level. The quarterback situation with the Rams is strictly an untested commodity. Maybe it'll do; maybe it won't. Waterfield belittled the suggestion that he might once again don old No. 7 and start throwing or kick ing again for the Rams.

"I'm too old for that sort of thing," he said seriously. But the fact is that Water-field never allows himself to get out of shape. He admit ted that today he weighs within 2 or 3 pounds of his best playing weight. Connerly Also 37 Should Waterfield ever decide to come back to active service he won't be the oldest pro player in the business. Chuck Connerly, quarterback for the New York Giants, like Waterfield, is 37.

Waterfield, who admits the style of play has changed greatly since his active days, declared that in modem pro football a winning team must have a running quarterback. "I believe Wade will be our answer," Bob stated. "He can run and he can pass, and I feel he'll be greatly improved this season now that he realizes he's the No. 1 man. I also have great hopes for Ryan, whom I scouted last year in Houston.

I've never seen Cox but I've learned he's a daring sort of guy capable of either running or passing."
