Bowerman made no outward offers. He told the youngster that if he wanted to be the greatest distance runner in the world, he should consider Oregon. He came to Oregon. Track scholarships are meted out sparingly. Bowerman gives half-scholarships so they will go around further, help more men and not just a few.

Jim Greille's family had no problem financing this former Olympian 1500 meter star. But he developed character under Bowerman's direction and worked for his keep.

If the boy still wants to come to Oregon, then that's something else, he explains. Steve Frefontaine came from Coos Bay.

Arnold Palmer, perhaps the most popular player golf has ever known and the man generally acknowledged to be the driving force behind the enormous growth of the game, was talking about his failure to win this season. "I've had a chance to win three times, real good chances," Palmer said, a slight, puzzled frown creasing one of the world's most-photographed faces.

"But every time I got in position to win, every time I thought I had something going, something always happened. I think I just wanted to win too much and got too anxious.

Olympic trials this month. In western Oregon, it's nothing for 10,000 spectators to turn out for a meet. They don't come to watch Bowerman, though. They come to watch the feats of his proteges. And his proteges are trained on a formula of common sense.

Such as was exemplified by the query on the benefits of running in the open hills or exclusively on the track. "It's kind of like you try to eat chicken or ice you like them both, but you're a fool to try to eat one of them all the time the combination is best. As to eating, tracksters eat good food that they are used to eating. There's no magic a guy can put in his mouth that's going to change anything on the track," he says. These interesting bits about the personality of a great coach came out of a rather exclusive interview.

When the discourse lagged, "next question" came the bark of Bowerman. There were none. End of interview! With Bowerman, the Olympic track team will be a good one next year at Munich. In fact, the crotchety Oregonian says, "Very definitely. We'd better have a good team or we'll all come back on our shields." And with a coach like Bowerman, it will be a good team.

Club owner Bob Carpenter surprised the baseball world Monday by elevating 49-year-old Owens into the dual capacity and firing manager Frank Lucchesi, 45, whose Phils were 166-233 in 2'2 seasons.

Taking command, Owens saw his charges build an early lead, only to lose 6-4 in 11 innings to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the opener of a doubleheader. The Phils won the nightcap 9-1, as Woody Fryman hurled a six4iit-ter and Willie Montanez drove in five runs. After the split, Owens categorically denied published reports that he assured Lucchesi Sunday his job was intact. "Frank asked me if Dave Bristol (the former Cincinnati and Milwaukee manager would take my place," Owens said. "I told him I'd only tried to contact him about a player, but was unsuccessful." Owens declined to name the player.

"I was just saying there was no truth of the rumor that Bristol would be hired." the Phils official said. "I didn't say hts (Lucchesi's) job was safe. Owens, who replaced the fired John Quinn as club general manager in early June, said he "would be inclined to go outside the Philadelphia organization" in picking his field successor after the 19T2 season. Lucchesi, who was visibly stunned by the firing, will remain in the Philadelphia organization as a consultant and said he may also serve as an advance man on road trips. His 26-50 record as manager was the poorest in major league baseball this year.
