RETUR TILL INTERNATIONAL MAGA: U.S. Runners: CHUCK LA BENZ Born on the 6th December, 1948 in SARIED AUG 1971 Phoenix, Arizona, he was name suHOLM SWEDEN aHOLM SWEDEN Charles Fronk La Benz but it is “Chuck” that he is known around the world as one of the leading contenders for the 1,500 Metres title at the Olympic Games in Munich in 1972. Military Service rather curtailed his 1971 athletic activities and he did not quite match up to the brilliance of his 1970 season when he ran the Mile in 3 mins. 56.9 secs. His chief asset and an important one – is the ability to run a really fast last lap even in a fast race. This has helped him to victory OVER men with statistically better records. His position “at the bell” in Munich will worry even those in front of him at that stage for, as he says himself “I reckon I have passed more run- ners on the last lap of races than any other miler around”. There is no doubt but that Keino, Liquori, Ryun and others will keep a wary eye on La Benz. Please acknowledge: Photograph by FIONNBAR CALLANAN CAMERA PRESS LONDON 25203-30 (17)
