'France, July 11. (By the Asso

legged Scotch divinity student.
jwon Olympic giorjr today! for
Great Britain when he led in the
400 meter run with a record that
Drought to a climax the most sen
sational series of races ever! wit-
i - i !-
messed la any International event.
The Swiss and American stars
.before him had shattered the
(world's mark for the distance, but
Liddell, undaunted, came back to
?the final test, with an even great
er speed that broke the heart of
'his nearest rival, Horatio Fitch,
;1onc; limbed Chicagoan who him
self had set a new record only an
"hour before in the semi-finals..
Llddell's time for the distance was
'47 3-5 seconds.
' Down the track, almost tinno,
jtlced in the pandemonium that
broke lose when Liddell broke the
ape, a tragedy, was enacted as
mbach lifted' himself painfully
from where he had fallen exhaust
led. He went to the starting pole
111 and showed over the first half
pf the distance' that he was badly
.off form. His collapse came as
,Ji9 was stumbling into the stretch.
-''.''America fared well, however.
The fine start of Norton and Os
1 borne In the' decathlon gives them
an excellent chance of victory
when the finals events of . this
contest are held, t Osborne broke
I the decathlon high Jump record,
winning this feature with a mark
x)f 1.97 meters with Norton not
far behind. The latter's excellent
showing in the other four events
100 and 400 meter runs, shot
