100.000 paying 170,000,000 lire of
$275,000 to sit in a sweltering sun
as athletes of 84 nations paraded
before President Giovanni Gron
chi of Italy.
The heat pared a few thousand
off the expected crowd and sev
eral hundred off the march of
athletes. In fact the United States
only turned out 156 marchers out
of a squad of 402. The Italians,
fearful the parade would run too
long, cut the yankee team to 240
and the sun did the rest.

Newell Worried
About His Team
ROME (AP) The powerful
United States basketball team,
overwhelming favorite to win a
sixth straight Olympic title, may
be below par physically tonight
when it meets Italy in its open
ing game.
Coach Pete Newell said Allen
Kelley, of the Peoria (111) NIBL
team, may miss a few games be
cause of a leg injury. And while
6-8 Jerry Lucas, the Ohio State
All-America, has recovered from
a foot injury, it's uncertain wheth
er he ll start.
The other eight players, includ
ing All-America Oscar Robertson
from Cincinnati and Jerry West
of West Virginia, are in good
shape.
Newell says the team "is still
not as well organized as I'd like,
but is in good playing condition
and ready to go. We should reach
our peak during the competition."
Eight games will be played to
day in the opening of the three
day first elimination round, the
schedule started with Hungary
downing Japan 93-66.
The United States-Italy game
goes on at 3:30 p.m. EST.
The 16 teams in the tournament
have been split into four groups,
with the top teams at Melbourne
seeded into each of the groups.
Two teams from each group ad
vance to a semifinal round of
eight teams. Then four more go
into the final round. If form holds,
the championship round should be
a struggle between the United
States and Russia.

ROME (AP) The Russians to
day advanced their gct-friondly-campaign
to the point of Olym
pic hand-holding and public cuddling.
It was right down on tne aln
letic field, too.
Blonde Tasia Tchctschik and
brunette Vera Ozolina advanced
on U. S. high jumper John Thom
as, Negro world record holder
from Boston University.
"Come," said Tasia in English,
"and pose with us."
Thomas who'd just finished
jumping 6 feet 10 in seven prac
tice tries willingly agreed.
Tasia stood on Thomas' left and
Vera on his right.
"Now," said Tasia slipping her
arm around Thomas' waist, "put
your arms around us."
Cameramen snapped away as
the two Soviet girls smiled up at
Thomas who seemed visibly im
pressed with the friendly cm
braces. While this was going on down
at one end of an Olympic athletic i
field, Russian and American men rr
were getting together at the other j u.
end. i "
This time it was the Soviet Un- j

vance. 1
