Stu dent Springs Surprise in Final Gives U. S. 42 v Points to 37 for Japs OLYMPIC STADIUM, Loa Angeles, Aug. 11. (AP) Lenore Knight, Unit ed States, added another Olympic record to the list today when she won the third heat of the 400-moter free style for women In 6 minutes, 40.0 seconds. Eight thousand people were on hand to see the morning races. Previously, Helene Madison had navigated the distance In 5 minutes, 44.5 seconds, which was announced as a new Olympic mark, but ' offi cials who made the announcement that the Seattle mermaid had set a new record later rectified the mis take. The old record of 6 minutes, 42.8 seconds, was set at Amsterdam by Martha N ore 11 us, U. S. A., in 1928. By Paul Zimmerman, Associated Press Sports Writer.) LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11. 0?) With one championship to his credit, Slarenoe (Buster) Crabbe, who mo mentarily baited Japan's swimming Invasion, today started out on nls campaign for another title of the tenth Olympiad. The former U. of Southern Callfor nlan, who staged a stirring finish to beat Jean Tarls, France, by six Inches In the 400-meter free style final yes terday, was scheduled to start In his first heat of the 1500-meter prelim inaries today. Complete Surprise. Hie victory In the 400-meter event was a complete surprise. Japan, on the basis of its showing In prelimin ary heats, had been favored to win, what with three men In the finals. Instead, Crabbe and Tarls staged such a brisk race that the Nipponese had to be content with third, fourth and fifth. Crabbe, who got most of his aquatic education on the Hawaiian Islands, set a new Olympic record of 4 min utes 48 4 seconds., and bettered Arne Borg's record In his triumph, but while he was splashing to a win, the International Swimming federation was accepting various and sundry world's records, Including Tarls time of 4:47 for the distance, taking this Ibonor from the victor. V. 8. Holds Lead. Crabbe 'a win saved for the United States the men's team lead with the total standing at 42 against 37 for the Nipponese. The women's team lead was Increased to 39 against 12 for Australia, when Uncle Sams' three feminine springboard experts swept the first three places. In doing so they duplicated the performance of the men'a springboard trio composed of Mickey Riley Gallt wn, Harold Smith and Richard Dene ger, several days ago. Georgia Coleman, Los Angeles; Katharine Rawls, Miami Beach, Fla., and Jane Fauntz, Chicago, took the first three places, In the order nam ed, but only after Miss Coleman and Miss Fauntz had been requested to put on suits with less exposure of the spine. Helene Favored. Just how far Crabbe might go 'n the 1500-meter race is a question. ne of his chief opponents, Kl ta rn ura, 14-year-old Japanese boy, did not participate in the 400-meter event, which undoubtedly took some thing out of the champion. Andrew (Boy) Charlton, Australia, and Tarls, also figured to be dangerous. Helene Madison, with one victory to her credit so far, entered Into the preliminaries of the 400-meter free style for women as the favorite, while Elinor Holm, who bettered the world's record in the 100-meter backstroke preliminaries, with a mark of 1:18.3. waa favored to capture the finals of this event.

Kapp of Estonia, lightweight wrestling champion at the Amster dam games in 1928, shown being beaten by C. Karpatl of Hungary In one of the trials of Olympic Games competition In Los Angeles. (Associated Press Photo! BE SEATTLE, Aug. 11. (AP) The national publicity director of1 the Women's Christian Temperance un ion. Earl Godwin of Eva niton. 111., said here today that Senator Wil liam E. Borah of Idaho had pre dicted to him that both the Re publican and Democratic platforms will be scrapped by October 15 and the campaign fought to a finish along other lines. Godwin, here for the national convention of the W. C. T. U.t said the senator's statement was made on the train while the two were en route west from Minnesota. Sena tor Borah left the train last night to make a trip through northern Idaho before returning to Boise. During conversations with the Idahoan, Godwin said he formed conclusions the senator has little use for the Republican prohibition and economic platform planks, and no use at all for the Democratic pronouncements; that he will not support the president as things now stand, but has not closed the door against supporting him later, and that the senator favors a third na tional party, but believes the time past for forming one this year.

While Chicago was kept idle by rain yesterday, Pittsburgh broke Its 10-gamc losing stream with a 5-to-3 victory over the Boston Braves in the first of a double header and thus' kept their hold on first place.

The St. Louis Cardinals completed the downfall of the Phillies with an eleventh Inning onslaught that brought six runs and an U-to-5 vic otry.
