4:24.4, breaking the 4:28.1 world
record the Yanks had set in the
trials.

stroke final. One of . the men
eliminated was Gerald Holan of
Ohio State, who set a record in
the trials Thursday.

' Helsinki (U.R) America's
eiant basketball stars drew the
scorn of Russia and Communist
China Friday but the Reds still
were quicker than a fox in a
forest fire to use the, big boys
from - the U.S.A. as models of
just how the game should be
played.
Everytime the over-vitamined
Yanks take, to the court, the
sidelines look like a conference
session of secret agents compar
ing notes on the atom bomb.
Record Every Shot
Soviet cameras record every
foul shot and Russian coaches
openly make precise diagrams
of American plays. The Reds are
touchy, too, that anybody should
think they don't have any soft
shoe skyscrapers.
"Do you think that we, a
country of 200,000,000 people
could not have chosen players
even taller than the Ameri
cans?" one Russian exclaimed.
"We thought this was a game
for normal people. Now we
know it isn't."
They're liable to regret cracks
like that when our kids play
Russia in the finals on Saturday.
Communist China has moved
into the act willingly. They were
sitting along the sidelines Thurs
day, during the U. S.-Argentine
game with their coach, the in
scrutable "Mr. Young," lectur
ing as if it was a classroom.
Chinese Interviewed
"Mr. Young" speaks excellent
English, but not when English
men or Americans are around.
So he had to be interviewed
about basketball in China
through a Finnish missionary,
and indicated that he did not
think much of the American
system of using tall men like
seven-foot Bob .Kurland and

This may be, of course, be
cause the Chinese do not have
any seven-foot players, whether
it be basketball or bean bag toss
ing. But through an afternoon of
painful and - mostly one-sided
conversation, it developed that
Young believes- size is a handi
cap over, say, six-feet-four.
Which, coincidentally, just hap
pens to be the size of Mr.
Young's tallest player.
Basketball Popular
Two other members of the
squad, who were in civilian
clothes and appeared to have a
slight resemblance to plain
clothesmen, said that basketball
was developing great popularity
in China and with their im
mense population they expected
to soon be among the world's
best.
They were asked how they
made out when playing Russia.
Mr. Young looked a bit uncom
fortable, fumbled the bait a
couple of times, and then admit
ted they lost one game.
The next question was a nat
ural. Did they lose because of
the widely-credited report that
the Russians brought along a
set of their own rules?
That was the end of the interview.
