Young Jackson
To Tour Europe
By MOLLYE MORROW
Coach Oliver Jackson and his
alar pupil Earl Young will be
among the track coaches and ath-
letes leaving this week to repre-
sent the United States in a tour
of Russia and Europe. Coach
Jackson will serve as assistant
coach to the team and Young will
be a member of the 1600 meter
.relay team and may also compete
in the 400 meter dash.
Young was selected to go on the
tour when it was learned that
National AAU 440 yard champion
Otis Davis would be unable to
make the trip because of his
'teaching duties in Oregon
One Associated Press reporter
said the US team was weak and
would probably be beaten.
Young's reply to this statement
was that "the Olympic team did
not get beaten after they were
prcdioted to lose." He also stated
that "the US team might be a
little weak in field events but it
is certainly strong in the running
events."
Young said that "he was really
glad to go and his teammates
were a good bunch of boys."
The touring US tracksters will
have their first meet of this year's
International series against the
Russians in Moscow on July 15-16.
From Moscow the team will jour-
ney to Stuttgart Germany for a
meet against the West German
team on July 18-19. Then they
will go to London for a dual with
the English squad. The final meet
finds the team journeying back
across Europe to Warsaw and
moating the Polish on July 29-30.

chures to the teachers to aid them
in integrating a study of aviation
into their curriculum.
In addition to hearing 12 lec-
tures which were supplemented
with slides movies overhead pro-
jectors and posters the group
made a field trip to the weather
station at Dyess Air Force Base
and to the Abilene Municipal Air-
as they join a select group of
port. On the last day of the work-
shop the class boarded an Air
Force C-47 plane and flew to Per-
rin Air Force Base at Sherman
Texas.
Since many members of the
class had never been in an air-
plane before the flight was really
an experience to relate to their
own classes. However a C-47
isn't quite as comfortable as a
jet airliner.
All of the speakers except one
reside in Texas; and almost all
were true to their cause by flying
to Abilene either by private
plane Air Force plane or heli
copter. As is true in any walk
of life there is always an ex-
ception one man came by car.
One of the outstanding speakers
was W. Bruce Chambers of Fort
Worth speaking on 'The Federal
Aviation Agency."
Another outstanding speaker
was Dr. Hans George Clamann of
Brooks Air Force Base at San
Antonio who spoke on "Space
Medicine." Dr. Clamann is Ger-
man born and was educated in
Germany. When Dr. Clamann
came to the United States he
studied under Dr. R. T. Clark
who was formerly a teacher at
ACC.
Some of the other topics were
"Aviation & You" "Facts of
Flight" "Power for Flight" 'The
Atlas Intercontinental Ballistic
Missile" "Aviation in Texas"
"The Air Force Academy" and
"An Outline of Balloonology."
