Third was the converted Unl-j versity of San Francisco sprint and grid star, OUie Matson. The chunky Negro was two-yards back of Cole, who, in turn, was four yards off Whitfield's finish. A crowd of 22,795 watched the final session of the two-day Olympic finals in Memorial Coli seum under a high overcast which displaced yesterday's warm sun. They , saw two American rec ords established, one by Horace Ashenfelter in the 3000-meter steeple chase, the other by ex Seton.Hall Sprinter Andy Stan field in the 200-meters around the curve.

Attlesey, the World rec ord holder, failed to qualify in his prelim, while Dixon hit a 'hurdle and fell while running second in the event's final. One of the biggest thrills of the day came as Don Laz, one of the best three 15-foot vaulters in active competition today, napped his pole while attempt ing 14 feet 9 inches and was momentarily winded when he fell into the pit. Las, the Rev erend Bob Richards and the Olympic Club's George Mattos, all made the Olympic squad in the tall jump. Richards won the event at 14 feet 8 Inches.

Santee passed today's 1500 meters for yesterday's 5000-me- ters in which he finished second The 110-meter high hurdles matched eight men, any of whom Is capable of winning the event at Helsinki. But it was the "old pro" Harrison Dillard who show ed his heels to the rest of the field. Handy Andy Stanfield of the Grand Street Boy's Club scorch ed the Memorial Coliseum track In running - a 20.8 200-meters around the curve the fastest uch race ever posted. In the 300-meter steeple chase the ex-Penn State brother pair of Horace and Bill Ashenfelter made it strictly a family affair as they kept favored Bob Mc Mullen of San Jose State boxed throughout to take first and sec ond with Horace's winning time of 9:06.4, a new American record.

But those triumphs were far over shadowed by the doubles upset. A delirious crowd of 15,000 cramming every inch of space in the court on one of Britain's hottest days gave a roaring tribute to blonde, chunky Lew Hoad and dark, slender Ken Rosewall after an exhibition of tennis so dazzling that even their American rivals paid them un stinting tribute. The U.S. women appear set to win the singles title for the ninth straight time but Satur day the great doubles battle monopolized the attention of the 30,000 spectators; Those who couldn't get into the center court sweltered around the out side scoreboards, alternately ju bilant or melancholy as the Em pire's fortunes rose or fell. Even the normally taciturn Savitt broke into smiles of won derment as - Hoad or Rosewall sh6t back his powerful cannon ball serves for points, smashed with such deception neither of the more experienced Americans was near the ball, or slashed stop volleys from hits that should have left them flat-footed. Savitt, the 25-year-old defend ing singles Champion, fought to the last point but was too fre quently outmaneuvered along with the 37-year-old Mulloy. The Americans had only one real chance to win a match point in the 10th game of the fifth set. But with the greatest com posure, Rosewall served a blis tering ball to Mulloy. Mulloy managed a return only to have Hoad ram it down the sideline for duece. Then Mulloy netted an easy one, Savitt hit out a sure point and the Aussies out played the Americans in a ping pong session at the net.
