Rose Arts Road Race Starts at 11 ••
j
Runners John Kelley and Amby Burfoot
Figured as Favorites in 10- Mile Run
AMBYBURFOOT
Two-Time R01e Champ
NORWICH - With tbe absence of last
JUr's top two finishers, both presently
preparing for a shot at Olympic
marathon berth, Sunday's1972 Norwich
Rose Arts Festival Road Race looms as
a wide-open affair with several topnotch distance runners seeking the
coveted crown.
The ten-mile-plus run is slated for
today starting at 11:15 a.m. at the
Chelsea Parade reviewing stand.
Approximately 55 minutes later, the
winner will flash up Broadway,
breaking the tape at Chelsea Parade
and claiming the Rose Arts title.
The current tour through the streets
in and arwnd the Norwich region will
take in an added feature as the
Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) has
recognized the Norwich run as the
official Connecticut AAU 15-Kilometer
State Championship.
With that championship at stake,
most of tbe top long distance runners in
the Nutmeg State are expected to enter
the local run by race time Sunday.
If a resident ci Connecticut wins the
Rose Arts run, be will also be
recognized as the AAU 15-Kilometer
Connecticut Champion. If a nonresident wins the Rose Arts title, the
first Connecticut finisher will be the
AAU Nutmeg titlist
Groton's Amby Burfoot, wt.o has a
brilliant Rose Arts record, will be one of
the favorites Sunday. Burfoot has run in
four of the five Norwich races and'
never fmished below third. He won the
initJal Rose Arts race in 1967, sat out the
1968 race with an injury, came back to
win the championship in 1969, finished
second in 1970, and was third last year.
The other winners on the Rose Arts
run have been Central Connecticut's
Jim Keefe in 1968, Tufts University ace
Dan Moynihan in 1970 and Connecticut's John Vitale in 1971. Vitale is
the current record-holder in the event,
wiming thtl most recent race with a
stunning time of 53:28.5, eclipsing the
old record by over a full minute.
Vitale, and last year's second place
finisher, Norm Higgins of Quaker Hill,
are both in Eugene Ore. presently
preparing for the United States
Olympic Marathon Trials which will be
run on July 9. The top three finishers in
that race will represent the United
States in the 1972 Summer Olympics in
Munich, Germany.
Also entered for the 1972 Rose Arts
Festival event is Johnny Kelley (The
Younger). Kelley, the Groton school
teacher, is one of the most popular
distance runners in the United States,
and like Burfoot, is a former Boston
Marathon .champion. Kelley won the
BAA run in 1957 while Burfoot copped
t.he crown in 1968.
Some of the other talented runners in
today's Rose Arts field include Kenneth
Mueller ·of the Boston Athletic
Association who was seventh in the
Norwich race last year and fourth in the
Rose City run in 1970. Mueller is a 35year-old veteran marathoner.
Tim Smith, the former Norwich Free
ace, is another distance
runner who could challenge for the
crown. Smith, who bas been running

Veteran Arnby B1
Groton Runner Overcomes Fasi
Early Pace by Dan Moynihan
By TIM TOLOKAN
Bulletin Sports Editor
NORWICH- The experienced road
racmg knowledge of Groton's Amby
Burfoot overcame a stunning early
pace set by youthful Dan Moynihan as
Burfoot used Moynihan's late-race
fat1gue , temperatures in the high 80's,
and his own brilliant long distance
running ability to breeze to his third
Norwich Rose Arts Festival Ten-Mile
Road Race victory Sunday in the sixyear history of the event.
Burfoot was nowhere to be seen
among the leaders for the first four
rrules of the race as Moynihan, the
TuftS University ace who copped the
1970 Rose Arts crown, vaulted to an
early lead and continued to pour on the
speed, opening a lead over Johnny
Kelley from Groton of some 300 yards
as the runners trudged up the rugged
Canterbury Turnpike hills.
Moynihan was a late race-day entry
Sunday as he was in 1970 when he won
the coveted Road Race title with a time
ol 55:29.8.
He joined the field late as did many
othelli which swelled the starting field
to 163, the largest turnout ever for the
fast,.growing Rose Arts run.
Two Stories
The story ol Sunday's tour through
the streets of Norwich and the
surrounding towns was a contrasting
story of first Moynihan, then Burfoot,
and always Kelley.
Moynihan led the race at the initial
half-mile cheCk point and remained in
charge at the one mile mark as the
runners turned into Asylum St. with
Kelley in second spot and Burfoot back
in the pack.
Into the third mile of the race on
AMBYBlJRJI'OoT
Canterbury Turnpike, Moynihan was
running alone as he opened his lead

yards.

Burfoot, Smitb, Cruthers, Rich Ashley,
McMerrunan, Phil Miles, Valentine

Crowley. Kelley was unable to receive a
state medal because of his affiliation
with the BAA, a Massachusetts running
club.
Burfcotcalled Moynihan's early pacf
in the hot weather, a "suicidal pace
" He shouldn't have tried to do it i
this heat,'' Burfoot added.
The winner commented that
Moynihan was running at five-minute
mile clips which Burfoot called much
too fast for the rugged up and down tenmile tour.
Burfoot said he sat back until the
four-mile mark when he went to work
and passed most of the field on Canterbury Turnpi e.
He was pl~ased with hiS performance, noting he has been training
senously for about two months after a
three and one-half month layoff for a
knee injury.
Moynihan agreed that the pace was
"tooqwck." "I wanted to run real well
in this race and I hoped to maintain the
early pace I had set.''
He noted that his major problem
when he was forced to drop out of the
race was dizziness. "I just couldn't get
my controls back, the heat really
caught up with me and I was drained."
Moynihan praised the talented
Burfootforrutlning an experienced and
well-planned race.

Mr. J. Roger Marlen, President
1972 Rose Arts Festival
c/o Norwich Chamber or Commerce
1 Thames Plaz;ta
Norwich, Connecticut 06360
Dear Rogers
At the August 17, 1972 meeting of The Mohegan Striders, a motion
was made and unanimously passed that we, The Striders, bring to
your attention a few suggestions for future Rose Arts Road Races.
our club now numbers 71 members, most of whom were entered 1n the
1972 Rose Arts Road Race. Unfortunately, all or us did not (or
could not) finish within the top ten and all we had to show for our
efforts were blisters on our teet. our first suggestion, therefore,
1s tor The Rose Arts Road Race Committee to present each person who
finishes the race with smme sort of a memento. (North Stonington
presents ribbons to all finishers - The Mum-A-Thon in Bristol gives
medallions). Perhaps a Rose Arts Medallion cast from a cheaper
material would be appropriate.
Many or our members resent paying an entry fee. (Moat road races
do not charge the runners for their performances). However, the
general consensus of opinion seemed to be that it we received something significant for our fee, it would not be quite so unbearable.
(Try running 10.8 miles in the hot, humid weather at high noon and
see if you feel like eating $1.00 worth of hamburgers and hot dogs.
I personally have run the race for three consecutive years and have
yet to use any of my meal tickets).
Another suggestion stems from the routing of bus traffic along the
race route. It seems that after the chartered buses discharged
their passengers at B.rnham Square, they proceeded directly along
the race route, through Franklin Square to Chelsea Parade. The
lead runners and the anchor men were not bothered by this caravan
ot fume emitting monsters but most of the athletes in the middle of
the pack were adversely affected by this pollution. Perhaps a better
route for the buses would have been to arose the viaduct to Washington Square and up Washington Street to Chelsea Parade - the end
result would be the same with only a little inconvenience to the
bus drivers, who are being paid tor their efforts. Also, especially
at the finish line, many spectators oould not see the runners
because the string of buses blocked their view, not to mention the
fumes which they were forced to inhal8.
Another suggestion concerns the complete listing and recognition
of
all finishers. Unfortunately, some of the "aleo-rans 11 came in after
the parade started and aa a result never received official recognition. It seems too bad that after months of training and completing
the 10.8 miles that these runners did not even make the official
-2-
list of finishers nor did thet see their names in the newspaper.
Perhaps in the future, someone from the committee might be able to
remain in the shaded reviewing stand and reoord all the fi nishers
who left their ''sweat, blood and tears'' on the streets or the good
old Rose of New England.
We sincerely hope that these suggestions do not fall upon dear ears
as we feel that these relatively simple alterations would vastly
improve the Rose Arts Road Race.
Also, we would like to take this opportunity to offer the services
ot our club to help the Race Committee in any way possible. We
reel very strongly about the merits of road running as a form or
physical exercise and anything we oan do to further or improve area
road races is part of our goal.

Wilmer Zinser with a clocking of
The road race, which started at 1
p.m., ran into some early difficulty as
practically the entire field took a wrong
turn on the course and covered only
four miles of the six mile circuit.
Because of the mistake, Race Chairman Michael Sedgwick ruled that
trophies would then be awarded in two
clas3es, those finishing the shortened
four mile route, and those covering the
original six mile course.
1:15:35.
Winning the shortened race was
Mystic'sJohnnyKelly, a former Boston
Marathon winner. Kelly's time was 21
minutes, 52 seconds. He was followed
by Tim Smith at 22:16 and Kim Murphy
at 22:31.
Winners in the watermelon eatmg
contest were: 6-9 year old category,
first, Joanne Conte; second, Thomas
Tucker; third, Sharon Hayes; 10-16year-olds, first, Brian Fowler; second,
Mike Pendleton; third; Anna Rys.
Saturday evening, the fair was
heavily attended because of the horse
drawing contest which went on to the
early hours of the morning. Milton
Pendleton's team captured first place
in the under 2,800 pound category.
Pendleton is from Lisbon.
Nate Black of North Leverett, Mass.,
took the 2,800 to 3,200 pound class, while
the Chapman brothers team from
Mystic won the free for all category.

BRIAN WILLETT Sports Editor
Crossing our desk via the mails this week is an elegant
production that every Olympic fan should add to his
reading library immediately, if not sooner.
'Olympic Gold', published by the Golden Press
Western Publishing Co., is labeled the official records of
championship performances and it Is rightful tagged.
The 180 page book contains the first photographs ever
published, in color, of the gold and silver medals of the
last 76 years. It also lists each winner of events by years.
And it has space too, for you to add the names of the
coming summer olympics. A short history with photos
from the past, from 1896 to be exact, are also included
which only enchances the production.
A paperback presentation, but bigger than a normal
piece of business stationary or typewriter paper, the
book sells for a modest $3.95.
Look for it on your bookstands-and buy It!

TANTAQUIDGEON
INDIAN
MUSEUM was
built
in 1931 by the late John Tantaquidgeon
and his son, Harold, direct descendents
of Uncas, Chief of the once powerful
Mohegan Nation; Tantaquidgeon, a captain
under
Uncas; and the Reverend Samson
Occu1,
1issionary and educator.
The
Mohegan, under Uncas played an important
role in the early Indian History of New
England and like other remnant groups
in this area have decreased in nu1ber
until there are less than 200 descendants
at the present ti11e.
Of this nu1ber
some 35 live in or near Mohegan, Connecticut.
This unique 1useu11 houses a collection
of objects of stone, bone, and wood 1ade
by Mohegan and other New England Indian
artists and craftsmen - past and present.
Featured in this Northeastern Woodland
section are baskets, bowls, and ladles
made by John Tantaquidgeon a
skilled
woodworker and last Mohegan basketmaker.
His son, Harold, continues to practice
the
skills
learned from
his
father.
Many of the stone artifacts on display
were found in the Mohegan area.
On display in a separate section of the
museum are examples of the expert craftsmanship
of the Southeast, Southwest and
Nortern Plains areas.
To the rear of the 1useum, surrounded
by a stockade, are reproductions of a
wigwam and long house typical of the
dwellings of early Eastern Woodland tribes.
The purpose of the Museu• is to preserve

With two big victories in 15 days area road racing fans
can't help but think Amby Burfoot must be thinking
victory again for the 1973 Boston Marathon.
Don't be shocked but just for the record you're dead
wrong! Just ask him.
Burfoot, who strolled to victory in the Mardi Gras
marathon the third of this month, picked up another
victory Sunday in the Junior Kilometer championships,
about a 19-mile trek, but although Burfoot admits a
couple of positive points, he's not thinking about
repeating his 1968 victory in Boston, the World Series of
marathons.
The Burfoot admissions make it hard to believe winning the Boston Marathon isn't foremost in his mind.
He says he is probably running "equal" to the way he
was when he won the Boston run while a Wesleyan
University student. But the secret is the training Burfoot
is currently undertaking.
"The way I am training now there is no way I can think
of winning the Marathon again," said Burfoot, the sixthgrade Mary Morrison School teacher.
"When you talk of marathons in international tones,
such as you have to when you talk of Boston, you have to
train almost twice as much as I am now," said Burfoot,
just minutes after going through a drill with long-time
buddy Ray Crothers.
Burfoot, who ran the 16-plus mile event in the wizard
time of 1:43 including about 50 seconds while he was list
behind some pine trees, is anxious only to run a good race
again In Boston.
"Ever since I won I have run nothing but absolutely
mediocre races in Boston," said Burfoot. "Right now my
only thoughts are on running a good race."
Burfoot calls 'a good race' one within about three
minutes of the winner.
Isn't three minutes a small amount of time to overcome when the stakes are as big as the Boston title?
"I know what I can run," said Burfoot. "If the winner
comes home in about 2: 12, there is no way I can run a
marathon in that time now. Get the winning time
somewhere in the teens and the chance becomes
greater," said Burfoot who, with the statement, hinted
about a 2: 18 for him would be his maximum for the 26plus mile course.
Burfoot has missed only one marathon since winning in
1968 (last year) and while only dissapointed with his
performance, he feels it took him four years to learn a
hard lesson- how much training is and is not possible.
"One of the reasons I am doing fairly well recently is
the fact I am more rested when I run," said Burfoot. "I
found out that it is impossible to train in the same
manner when you are on opposite sides of the desk," said
Burfoot referring to his days as a student and now as a
teacher.
Burfoot, a master at psychology, could be using his
knowledge of the superficial to his own advantage in
hopes that It will mislead others.
Maybe he doesn't think he'll be strong enough to win
but it makes you wonder what his competitors must feel
like.
OTHERS TOO
While Burfoot is an automatic qualifier for the
.M arathon most others have to eclipse certain barriers to
enter the Boston Marathon these days and it looks as
though the Groton area will be well represented come
April 16 in the Hub.
Among those qualifying with good enough times in
Sunday's race were Ray Portelance, the Fitch Senior
High baseball coach; Tim Smith, the former Norwich
schoolboy, Providence Collegian and President of the
Mohegan Strjders; John Barry, the Cutler Junior High
teacher; Crothers, the former Fitch High co-Captain,
like Burfoot, in cross country; Mark Gottesdeiner of New
London; and of course Johnny Kelley, another automatic
qualifier as the 1955 triumphant and the coach of both
Crothers and Burfoot.
RUNNING THOUGHTS
Both Burfoot and Crothers, former members of the
Central Connecticut Athletic Association, have ceased
memberships there and have joined the Striders, a big
boost for the young but active running club headed by
Smith, Dr . John Martin, and Bob Car br ay ... Burfoot

Ray Portelance, 43, Mystic ... the latter four quali£ied in a
lesser distance race, but at no less than 15 miles ... to qualify
for Boston one must submit proof of having completed a
marathon in less than three hours, 30 minutes. or some other
race 15 miles or longer in a proportionately equi· alent time .
.. incidentally, Johnny Kelley of Mystic and the Boston
Marathon winner in 1957, also will run, his club allegiance
being to the Boston Athletic Association, of which he has been
a member since his days at Boston University . . . then,
Wilmer Zinser, 52, of Norwich, a Strider member, who was
unable to qualify for the marathon, has decided to run
unofficially, having read last year that people still were
finishing at midnight ... under Connecticut AAU regulations,
Burfoot became eligible to run for the Striders as of April I,
and Ray Crothers April 8 ... both are former Central Connecticut Athletic Association members. N 8

/a/?
and Crothers both plan to enter the Middletown
marathon coming up shortly but only for "a workout" ...
Then there will be a "speed test" in a nine-mile Cambridge run next month ... Burfoot thinks there could be
as many as 15 finishers from this area in this year's
Marathon in Boston . . . But then he also thinks he can't
win it. The Groton Nws' Steve Fagin is one of those
hopeful of qualify ing for the race ...

Tops 135 Finishers
(Continued from Page One)
time he went into the final stretch on
Broadway.
"I thought the pace was a bit slow
coming up the hills," Moynihan noted,
··so I picked up a bit. After that, I just
let myself flow downhill.
''I was much more in control than last
year," he grinned, when asked about
any thoughts of his early demise. "I
knew the race was over at the five-mile
mark."
Vitale concurred, but added, "I
thought it was over a couple of miles
out. I didn't feel I was running well."
Moynihan thus becomes the second
multiple wimer in the history of the
race. He took the event in 1970. Amby
Burfoot of Groton, who was first last
year, is a three-time winner. Burfoot is
presently in El Salvador with the Peace
Corps.
Vitale holds the course record of
53:28.5, a mark he set in winning the
1971 race. He did not compete a year
ago. Jim Keefe was the other winner,
taking the
rown in 1968. He is
recovel'lng from a back operation and
did not compete.
Fmishing third m the 1973 race was
the veteran distance runner, Mueller of
the Boston A.A. His time was 59:07, 86
seconds behind Vitale's 57:41. No one
else finished in less than a hour.
Fourth was John Spear of the
~ohegan Striders while the popular
Kelley finishetJ fifth.
Rounding out the top ten were Dan
Larson of the New Haven Track Club,
Tim Smith of fbe Mobegan Striders.. B
team, Dick Ashley of the Striders,
Daricek and Gene McMerriman of the
Striders B team.
The top schoolboy finisher was David
C'.al'lson of Amity Regional in 14th
place. Wayne Jacob of Fitch was 17th
w1th Bob Driscoll of Waterford 21st and
Larry Hice of Norwich Free Academy
22nd.
Tim Smith was the first Norwich
tunnel· across the fimsh line.
A trio of women were among the 135
finishers of the 143 who started the race.
Toby I.enner of the Manhattan-based
..

Gardner Victorious
In Masters One-Hour Run
By PADRAIC D. RILEY
Bulletin Sports Staff
MONTVILLE - George Gardner, a nationally ranked long
distance runner, led all the way
and outran Norwich's ~
McMerrirnan Wednesday even1ng, to capture the Connecticut
AAU Mens' Masters One-hour
Championship run at Montville
Htgh School.
Gardner, the number one 37·
year-old 100-kilorneter (approximately 62 miles) runner in the
nation, ran 16.482 kilometers (a
little more than 10 miles) in the
one·hour allottrnent. McM1•r·
rtman ran 16.479 krn.
Gardner took the lead from the
start, and led the pack through
the first 1600 meters in 5:37.
McMerrtrnan was three seconds
liefitnd (he remained that way for
the majority of the race) and..H.i!L
Bepnetl the thtrd place finisli"e'r,""'
1o seconds off the pace. B,£qnelt
finished with 16.435 krn.
After 3200 meters in 9:56,
McMer~mell still trailed Gardner by t ree seconds.
''1 knew someone was behind
me because I could hear his splits
being called," Gardner said, adding he felt the pace was consistent because of McMerrirnan's
pushing.
At the 15 minute mark, the lead
pack had traveled about two and
one half miles. ~cMerrirnan's
distance behind
e leaaer rlrnained the same, while Bennett
had closed slightly.
Thtrty rnmutes mto the race
the leaders had run about five
miles. Mc~rrim:f had pulled
up on Car ner an was almost
beside him, andJlennell_ was two
seconds m back o~
At the completion of 21 laps,
·Bennett had fallen off the pace,
and from that point on~
rirnan and Gardner battl~
~dner and ,.MsMerrioJqn
carne through 31 laps together m
45 :07; .!!Jnnj;U was 12 seconds
back.
Gardner pulled out to a one se·
cond advantage in the following
laps, and a last minute kick,
gave htrn the three·rneter edge
at the 60·rnmute mark.
Gardner took the 35 to 39 year
age group with his effort, and
.McMerri~an, was the victor of
ttie 46 to 4 group.
Danielson's BoP Bahhjtt took
the honors in 'tlie 4~-49 category,
running 14.210 krn.
Jim Taylor of Willimantic, was
the titlist in the 5(1 to 59 age
bracket wtth a 14.939 km . run.
Jim ~o~g took the 60 and over
contes w( an 11.625 km. run.
