OLYMPIC PREDICTIONS - -1 USA Controls i.,; Short Distances By MILTON MARMOR LONDON, Oct. 30 OH The Americans rule'heavy favorites to dominate the short distances and the two hurdle races of the 1956 Olympic Games at Mel bourne this November. They should also run off with both relays. If weather conditions are good, world records should tumble like autumn leave* even though It will la* springtime In Australia. Bobby Morrow of Texas ap |*ears slated to take his place alongside Jesse Owens, Kddie Tolun and Percy Williams as a double Olympic sprint winner. Morrow Is a great competitor and should beat out Ira Murchi son, another American, In the 100 meters even though the stocky Negro has a 10.1 world record clocking to Morrow’s best of 10.2. The rest of the World has a half dozen or more 10.3 men and about 20 credited with 10.4. The 100 meters could finish someihlng like this: Morrow, Murchison, Mike Agostini. Trini dad: Thane Baker, U.S.A.: Jack Psnlngton, Canada; and Manfred Germar. Germany. Other possibles: Roy Band si rom of Britain: Boris Toknryev Four Net Squads Fatten IM Streaks With Crucial Wins With two exceptions the teams which came out on the short ends ■i,f. i'cst'-rday'a intra-mural volley ball score* would have done well to *tay at home. Two did just that. In four of the six cases, "the rich got richer and the poor poorer." The lone conteata where th<- winners reversed their pre vious defeats were Sigma Nu’s triumph over Delta Tau Delta and Young Hall's lopsided conquest of Morton. The Sigma \u win and Hale Katie's victory over the I-egul Ragles came via the forfeit rulings. It was the second for feit In as many outings for tie* Dells and the Ragles. In other Class B competition. Theta Chi racked up Its second consecutive win by capturing the third and deciding set, 12-10, in abbreviated fashion due to the time limit set on all games. In downing Sigma Chi in a game which attracted a whole lot of attention, the Theta Chi's breezed home in the first encounter, 15-5, before being dealt a tight 16-14 loss In the second. With the triumph, the victors kept their perfect Class A and Class . B record intact, sporting two wins against no defeats in each division. Meanwhile, Phi Gamma Delta kept pace by downing Alpha Tau Omega's B entry, 15-13, 10-15, and 15-11. I*hl liuppa Psi also kept their rating unblemished by outlast ing Chi Psi in straight sets, 1.V6 and 15-4. In the remaining tilt on the schedule, Young evened its rec ord at one and one by over-pow ering Morton by identical 15-2 counts. With three more Class B con tests on tap for Wednesday aft ernoon. Theta Chi, Hale Kane, Fiji and Beta Theta Pi are in a first place deadlock for that bracket, all sporting 2-0 ratings. Still undefeated, but a half game behind, are Phi Delta Theta, Kap pa Sigma, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha Hall, Hunter and Phi Kap pa Sigma. ' and Leonid Bartenyev of Russia and the upcoming Bjorn Nilsen of Norway. The 200 meter finish could see Morrow ahead, trailed by Itus sht’s Ardullon Ignatiev, Baker, Agostini, Amerlea’s Andy Stan field and Vllcm Mandllk of Czechoslovakia, Ignatiev and Baker have the trick of running around a turn weli learned, but Morrow's speed should prevail. Some other names who could get into the final are those of Oermar. Tokaryev, Brian Shenton of Britain. Heinz Futtcrer of Ger many and Nilsen. The 400 meters belongs to America's world record holder Lou Jones who may improve on his 45.2 mark. Jim Lea of Amer ica should be second with Igna tiev, the Central Asian Soviet runner, third. Charles Jenkins of U S A., Voitto Hellsten of Fin land and Karl Friedrich Haas of Germany could be the other point winners. The American 4 X 100 meter relay quartet are »dds-on fa vorites to run away with the gold medals and should finally break the 39.M world mark es tablished In 1936 at Berlin by the Jesse Owens' four. Trail ing could In- the Soviet Union, Germany, Britain, Hungary and Australia. The U.S. 4 X 400 meter team likewise should win very easily and the great 3:03.9 world mark set in 1952 at Helsinki by Ja maica could fall. Chasing Amer ica would be Germany, Britain, Russia. Australia and Finland. Jack Davis appears likely to gain an Olympic title in the 110 meter hurdles for America. He was second in 1952. Lee Calhoun should be right at his shoulder. Third should be Joel Shankle for an American 1-2-3. Next could come Flamonn Kinsella of Ire land. Jakobus Van Der Merwe of South Africa and Stanko Lorger of Yugoslavia. It is doubtful ff Davis’ world mark of 13.4 is en dangered. The 400 meter hurdles will be quite a race, but either Glenn Davis or Eddie Southern of Amer ica appear winners over Russia’s Igor Ilin and Yuriy Lituev. The other two places may belong to Josh Culbreath of America and Ilie Savel of Rumania. A guess at the finish: Davis. Southern. Ilin, Culbreath, Save!! Lituev, with the winner’s time near or better than the 49.5 world mark set by Davis in the Amer ican tryouts.
