But Expect Few Firsts
By ALAN GOULD
(Associated Press Bport Editor)
LOS ANGELES, July 28 (AP) The United Mates It again assured the
team decision, on poind. In the forthcoming Olympic track and field
competition, but lmofar a tint places are concerned, representing the
; chief and only official awards recognized by the International games, your
Uncle Samuel expect! to hare nil hands full from the outlet.
Finland, Oieat Britain. Japan and
Germany, with some scattered help
from Italy. Poland and crecno-bio.
vakla, will carry the main Olympic
battle to the Americans, with the
prospect they may upset some of the
favored homebred and contribute
to a sensational aeries of perform
ances.
Many Records May Fall.
It will not be surprising to see
Olympic records broken In 23 01
th 33 track and field event and
a new standard established In the
remaining new event, the oo.oou
meter walk. In practice or In na
tional championship or tryout com
petition, they have all been sur
. passed by athlete assembled for the
world championships here. A many
a a down world record also may
tumble In thla general attack on
time, height and distance.
The opening day' competitive pros
pects, this Sunday, furnish an Idea
of what the U. 8. A. will be up
agalnat in meeting the challenge
of the lnvadlnaj talent. Three nnai
are scheduled and of these only the
high Jump 1 conceded to America,
with our three entrlea, led by George
Spitz, outclassing all others.
Finns Feature Long Kun.
The 10,000 meter run, first of the
track events, will be a parade of the
Finns, If Paavo Nurml 1 reinstated
and competes, along with hi two
i.jng countrymen, Volman iso
Hollo and Laurl Vlrtanen. Their
chief threat 1 the Polander, Jan
sciuoelMkL who ha a victory over
Nurmi to hi credit, but the Finn
Hunt any on of tneir wio cu
hatter the world record. If neces
aary, to win. There Isn't an Ameri
can with a chance in this dlatance
race. , ,
The shotput, also to ba decided
on the first day, may be the flret
Olympic title lost by the United
States, despite a strong defending
entry, led by big Leo Sexton of New
York, who has several time beaten
the world record. The favorite now
U Franthek Bouda of Cecho-81o-vakla

fee, 5 Inches In practice yesterday,
well beyond anything that either
Secton or Emll Hlrschfeld of Ger
many ha done. Hlrschfeld holds
the world mark of Ba feet, 7V4 lnche.
How CowJie Figure,
i It' the same w;r right down the
list of event covering the first eight
day of Olymplo competition In the
big tdlum where more than 100,
000 can aee the world' peedleet,
brawniest and most agile athlete
perform.
. Here' how th American coaches
figure their prospect!
sure winner 400 meter flat, pole
vault and high Jump.
. inn QOO-meter
dashes, d!scus, high hurdle.
Doubtful, but with chance to win
400 and 1500 meter run, 8000
meter steeplechase, ahotput, broad
Jump, 400 and 1800-meter relays.
Weak All dlstanoe races, Includ
ing 8000 and 10.000 meters and mara.
thon, 400-meter hurdles, hop, step
and Jump, hammer, Javelin (by
comparison with Finns), declathlon
and 80,000 meter walk.
Lucky to Win ReTen.
On this basis, the United States
will be lucky to win seven first
place, one lea than wa collected
four years ego at Amsterdam. The
Finn figure they are certain to
capture at leaat alx and It Vllle
Pqrhola continue to toe the ham
mer over 180 feet, aa he did In
practice yesterday, he may beat the
Olymplo champion, Pat O'Callaghan
of Ireland.
By contrast with the last two
Olympiads, the American aprlngt
runners and hurdlers have come up
to the games In top form, confident
they will regain lost prestige. The
national champion, Ralph Metcalfe
of Marquette, la regarded In all
camps aa the man to beat In both
the 100 and aoo meter dashes, due
to his unusual stamina as well a
aneed. His running mates are two
aeaaoned campalgnera, Eddie Tolan
and George Simpson. They have
high regard, however, for Peroy Wil
liams of Canada, the Olympic cham
pion, a well aa Arthur Jonath of
Germany.
Beat Bets Named.
The "best bets" to win, all fac
tora considered, are: MetcaUe In
th S00 meters; Bill Carr, United
States, In the 400 meters; Jack Kel
ler, U. S., 110-meter hurdles: Laurl
Letlilnen. Finland. 8000 meters: Bill
Oraber, U. 8, pole vault; John An
derson. V. 8, discus: Matt! Jarvlnen,
Finland, Javelin and hie brother,
JMtlllea Jarvlnen, decathlon. The
Finns have three Javelin toaser
doing better than 330 feet.
Nurml, with the big "If" always
attached, will be the choice In the
classlo marathon, but you oant con
vince the Argentine delegation that
their bright star, Juan Carle Zabala,
can be beaten. Zabale covered 8a
mllea In leas than two hours In a
workout this week and think he
ran cover the full marathon distance,
28 mile, 888 yards, In between 3:18
and 2:30 for a world record. But

they will believe Paavo can be

expressed -doubt that he wa the
original of Mark Twain's Huckleberry
Finn.
He prided himself a a liar, and
th aura way to get hie dander up
was to Intimate that he might per
haps be a little more truthful than he
wa reputed to be.
ONE of hi favorite yarns ran Some
thing lllcn this;
"I met up one day with a smart
looking critter who wanted to know
how the hunting was and It wasn't
open season, either. So I told him:
Well, up on th hill the other day
I ran Into five big buck, and I
downed them with five aAots every
on shot through the neck, right be
hind the ears.' At that th danged
tool says to me: 'Do you know who
I am?' and I answers: 'No.' So he
says: "I'm th new gam warden.'
And I says to him: -Do you know
w,ho I am?' and when he admlta he
doesn't, I tells him: 'Well, I'm th
damndest liar on the McKenate
river.'"
