The Tenth Olympiad program calls for nothing less than a 50.000 meter bike. . The event will require anywhere from four to six hours to complete. If anybody completes It at all, but the customers will be given the hap py alternatives, during Its progress, ' of watching the 200-meter dash, the pole vault, discus throw. 110 meter bleb, hurdles. 1600-meter trials and 80-meter ladles' hurdles. c:hsmp To Appear Uso Prigerto of Italy, the last Olympic walking champion.

Some of the by-play to Frlgerlo's triumph at 10.000 meters In 1924 at Paris was riotous. One of the com petitors, an Austrian, gained a good lead In the trials and appeared a sure winner. Officials In long linen dusters who bad been scampering around, even stretching themselves flat on the ground to peer Intently at the heel and toe work, finally pounced on the Austrian. Official Hill Most of the officials spoke French and no Austrian. The pedestrian spoke no French. There was sud denly much gesticulation and shout ing, which the athlete waved aside. He kept right on walking. Boon the whole pack of officials was trotting after the Austrian. They were get ting quite out of breath but highly Indignant. Finally things became so cluttered up that the walker had to quit. . There was a big dot -wow that night, the Austrian's protest was sustained and he was given another chance the next day. The Judges who had ruled him off resigned. But they had their revenge. A new set of Inspectors disqualified hint again. ' Only Once Hits Year There won't be any repetition of this at las Angeles.
