For the Associated Negro l'resa
IN recent years, we've heard
a lot of' the high-jumping
exploits of John Thomas. More
than n quarter century ago, the
tiriznl ii'juie in this specialty
was Mel Walker, now in the cosmetics
bu-incs in Chicago.
Walker, like Thomas, did iot bring
home a gold medal In the Ol. upica. In
fact. Walker last.sl bitter dnuip-
poiutnient in that he failed to Qualify
lor our Olympic learn for the Berlin
l«:!ll games.
That was the year when we liail
aiicb a fine representation of Jesse
Oweus, Kr„ h Metcalfe and Mack
(brother of Jackie) ltoblnson. John-
jiy Woodruff, Cornelius Johnson ( high
jump winner) nnd Dave ''!n
(now state representative la Ohio
from Dayton). .
Walker's failure occurred in the
trials at Randall's Island In New
' York City. A week before the trials,
Walker had leaped G-Hi/j, tying the
national mark.
Victim of Had llrealt
During the tryoiits, lie rim into a
slotted approach and finished fourth
(the first three mode the team) with
"I Imd never jumped on such a
field," he said recently. "I would have
been all right, I think, had 1 been
civeti a chance to practice on the
field. But I never saw the place until
the day we jumped."
Thomas didn't have such wretched
luck in the trials in the liMK) Olym-
pic, hut he failed to match the jump
of two Russian rivnls. Furthermore,
one of them, Vnlery Bnimel, came
over last winter to prove that the
Olympic conquest was no accident.
Brumel and Thomas are seven-footers
"In my time we thought it was im-
posMble to reach seven feet," says
Walker. "It was psychological. To-
day's fields are also improved aa well
as the style of jumping. The . ..urposl-
tion where, you take off is better.
Criticizes Thomas' Style
In Walker's Jumping heyiley, he
first used the eaetern, or sciasors,
style* later switching to the western
roll.
"Take everybody today, they uae
the atraddle jump, face down to the
bar." , .
Mel is one of thoae who dooM*
that I/OBg John will ever overcome
Brumel nt the jumping bar.
"Thomn* will never bent him," he
aolnea. "John nppronchea the bar
slowly, deluding mostly on his terrif-
ic apring. That's much the same way
I jumped. You've got to come up
to the bar witli more apeed. But It h
something you have to start doing
when you first atart, you can't change
your style."
