LOS ANGELES, July 30 (AV-The
tumult and shouting, the oratory and
Poavo Nurml, Finland's banished
"martyr" will blend into the back
ground of a record smashing battle
for Olympic athletic honors tomor
row. Gathered from the far corners of
tho globe, the speed and brawn, skill
and endurance of close to 2000 ath
letes representing 30 nations, will
compete in a kaleidoscopic whirl of
sporting activity unprecedented In
Olympic history. In their wake over
a stretch of two unbroken weeks of
action in 16 sports. It is confidently
expected Father Time and Old Man
Distance will be left dizzily contem
plating a veritable wreckage of rec
ords. Events Begin Sunday
The main attack on existing stand
ards .will be launched Sunday after
noon in the track and field Eports.
long the blue-ribbon feature of the
Olympics.
Six of the grand total of 23 track
and field contests will furnish the
chief attraction for perhaps 100.000
onlookers in the huge Olympic sta
dium. Finals will take place In the
high Jump, shotput and 10,000 meter
run, in addition to trials In the 100
meter dash, 400 meter hurdles and
800 meter run.
The sbotput world record should
be blasted loose by either of the out-:
standing favorites, Leo Sexton of the '
United States or Frantisek Douda of.
Czechoslovakia. .
The two series of 100 meter elim
inations should Indicate clearly Just
how high America's hopes may be
raised in the attempt of Ralph Met
calfe. George Simpson and Eddie To-,
Ion to restore sprinting prestige lost ,
by this country In the last two Olym-
plads. ,
High Jump a Sweep? )
The high Jump should be a sweep .
for the United States, with either :
Bob Von Osdel or George Spitz the
victor, and the rugged young sons of 1
Finland, Iso-Hollo and Vlrtanen, fig
ure to lead the 10,000 meter pack in !
the absence of their renowned com- (
patriot, Nurml, barred from the
games on charges of professionalism ,
two days ago. j
In both the hurdles and 800 meters .
the American entries flguro to make
a good showing but they will be up
against the keenest sort of competi-'
tion to survive the preliminaries. i
Uncle Sam's main hopes may rest on
the veteran Morgan Taylor, holder (
of the 400 meter hurdles record, and
Eddie Genung, the slim national half
mile champion.
Hugged Team Tussle
In fact the whole track and field
prospect, for eight consecutive days,
presents the most rugged sort of a
tussle for the Americans In their -fight
to keep the team champion
ship they have held ever since the
Olympics were revived in 1896. What
ever may be the margin of the U. S.
A. on points at the finish, developed
nil along the line, the first place
honors will bo briskly disrupted.
In advance tho United States
seems assured of no more than eight
gold medals. Finland's Inspired little
bond, aroused by tho banishment of
Nurml, will exert every muscle to
do as well. Great Britain, Canada,
Germany, Japan, Italy and Argentina
may also see their flags sent to the
topmost victory pole, at leost once,
before the laurel is placed on tho
marathon winner next Sunday after
noon, Aug. 7.
As the American sprinters go, so
may go the general fortunes of the
homebred forces. Triumph In the
100 meters final, Monday, for any one
of the American trio over the strong
foreign cast, including Percy Williams
of Canada, defending champion, and
Arthur Jonath of Oermany. will go
far toward bolstering up the spirit
of the entire United States team..
On form, Metcalfe, the sensational
Marquette negro and new champion,
is tho American favorite in both
sprints but Eddie Tolan apparently
has come up to a racing peak since
tho final tryouts and will be hard to
beat, particularly with his experience
taken into account. Simpson has
been affected by a cold but he, too, Is
a seasoned campaigner with a knock
of doing his best when the stakes are
most Important.

Pictures Destroy
'Elbow' Theory
By Johnny Farrell
(As Told to Artie McGovern) :
Mony points In golf instruction
have changed iqonsiderably during
the past few years. . .
For instance; It used to be felt
that no golfer's technique could bo
perfect if the right elbow was not
kept In close to the body during the
swing.
We now find, however, from care
ful study of our star golfers par
ticularly through the use of motion
pictures that It is Impossible to
keep the right elbow In such i posi
tion without bending the left arm.'
Quite naturally we may be guilty
nf ' oniiHT in thn nnnndln evlrnmn
land raising the rlcht elbow too hluh.
This also will ruin a swing.
The point to keep In mind Is that
the left arm must be straight as It
guides the clubhead back slowly
along the ground, and the left shoul
der must be kept down so that it
passes right under the chin.
Keep tho right elbow In a comfort
able position near the body, but
make no effort to hold It In a man
ner which will restrict the straight
left arm.
