Yankee Athletes Aife Keyed To Highest 'Pitch foiv Games Bt James E. (Ted) SI eredith r Special CorreTtondent I'niTer-ali Serrice. Special Cable Di patchy ANTWTERP, Aug. 14. Withj a crowd representing every nation irt" the world and every station In life looking world and every nation in life looking on, the ablest athlete of 27 1 countries paraded before the king of Belgium to day in the official-opening f the Olym pic games, ; : r ; ; The Australian athletes by virtue of the fact that their country's name he gins with. "A" were first in f line. The Belgians, as hosts, were to the! rear. The 299 men and women who represent the United States were ninth. Harry Heb ner, who is competing for the third time in the Olympic games, carried the Amer ican flag, and the giant Pat MeDonald bore the standard of the American com mittee. King Albert made a j brief ad dress to the athletes and officially pre sented the stadium to Baron 'Pierre de Coubert in, president of the International Olympic committee. 1 1 4 Cardinal Mercier bestowed a blessing on the entrants and the games.- j : MANY AMERICANS OJ! HAKD j The throngs of Americans 'In : the stands gave the cheering the same touch that js heard at the big events at home. Hundreds of American soldiers i on leave from the American army on the Rhine, sailors from the merchant ships and transports, attaches of diplomatic and consular offices were grouped here and there in the Immense stands and gave the -team every last ounce of en thusiasm their lungs contained. . The men and women who will ! fight it out for the premier athletic honors of the world represent, it seems, every strain of blood on earth. There are pale blondes withrblue eyes from the North countries, little yellow men from the Far East, dark haired, flashing eyed men from the Mediterranean countries and several negroes. t I The nations represented are : Aus tralia, Belgium Brazil. Canada, China, Chile, Denmark; Egypt, Spain, the Unit ed States, Finland, France Great Brit ain, Greece, Holland, British India. Italy, Japan; Luxembourg. Mexico, Norway, New Zealand, Portugal, South Africa, Roumania, Sweden, Switzerland, Czecho slovakia and Jugo-Slavia j . r TANKS MORALE UNSHAKEN 'The American team has its ehare of turmoil and trouble, but It i marched to day with morale unshaken,' ready to do its mightiest. Dan Aheam, the hop-sklp-jump champion, is back in the ranks, due to a protest from the team to the OlympiQ committee, against bis suspension. Ahearn stepped out of quar ters against specific orders and was dis missed. He was to have been sent home immediately but the team f eit that It was . here to win for the United States and wanted every ounce of athletic skill and ' brawrv fh the games and for that reason, by sheer weight of numbers, per suaded the committee to reverse its de cision. i . ; '.. " ! ' The matter of preservation of author ity and all those related things ican be taken up at some other time, was the stand the athletes took, but the Olympic games must be won or lost right now.
