A battery of eight to ten Russians wearing official badges reading "coach" or "interpreter" swarmed around the diving and swimming pools today recording every detail about the U.S. and Aus tralian girl swimmers. One Russian "coach" was so anxious to get a picture of the U.S. girls' relay team in ac tion, that an Italian referee had to drag him away from the .finish line. American girls swimming manager Mrs. Betty Baldwin, said that Russians have at tended every practice session. "They make notes on our warmup techniques," she said, "and they keep a record of how many lengths all the girls swim every day. They don't miss anything."

Duck Track Mentor Tells of Gratitude For Olympic Jaunt By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Rome -(UPII- Germany's Ar- min Hary stole the thunder from America's famed sprint ers in the opening track and field in the Olympic Games today by setting an Olympic record of 10.2 seconds in the quarter-finals of the 100-meter dash. Hary, whose recent world record of 10.0 seconds was viewed skeptically by some U.S. experts before it was ac cepted, cracked the 10.3 stand ard held by such American stars as Eddie Tolan, Jesse Owens, Harrison Dillard, Bob by Morrow, and Ira Murchi son. By contrast, Ray Norton of San Jose, Calif., this year's U.S. candidate for "world's fastest human" honors, es caped elimination only by a photo finish. Norton, off poor ly, was timed in 10.6 in a vir tual dead heat for third place in another heal with Jocclyn de le Cour of France. The photo gave Norton the edge and a berth in the semi-finals, averting a huge upset. Hora tio Espevcs of Vnezuela won the heat in 10.5. Dave Sims, lanky Duke star, also qualified for the semi-finals as he finished sec ond to Hary in 10.3 seconds. Yanks Are Favored The opening of track and field was supposed to signal the start of U.S. triumphs, but Hary was the first record hreaker. And his mark came shortly after word that Russia had just gained its sixth gold medal of the games when Ivan Bogdnn took the heavyweight Greco-Roman wrestling title. At this point the United States had only three gold medals. Uncle Sam's burly shot put ters set the stage for expected U.S. victories in track and field by barely flexing their biceps in qualifying for the finals. A heave of 55 feet was re quired of each muscleman to cam a spot in this afternoon's finals, and the Yanks each needed only one casual toss for that. U. S. forces also set the stage for further point scoring by easily qualifying in the men's 100-meter dash and in swimming in the men's 100-meter backstroke.

Grateful are we for this opportunity to be with the seven track men of Ore gon who are competing in the Olympic Games. The world championship! We are deeply appreciative that our university has had the kind of administration and faculty that recognizes the place of wholesome ath letics in education. A tradi tion of high educational stand ards set by men like presi dents Donald Erb and Met Wilson; professors Gilbert, T h a c h e r, Turnbull, Macy, Johnson, and Ellickson to mention only a few, who have set standards of academic ex cellence, and at the same time have recognized that athletics makes a virile contribution to university life. Docs any community have so many enthusiastic sponsors of worthwhile activities? The Eugene Gleemen, the VLT, EEAA, Obsidians, Tri-Pass, Oregon Club, and countless other outlets for interests and energies in the campus area. Has any athletic director accomplished as much as Leo Harris? His position has often been a trying one. He has gathered about him a staff of outstanding leaders of young men in every sport. I am proud to be associated with them. There is no uni versity that can match the all-round record of scholar ship, integrity, fiscal sound ness, and cooperation that, ex ists in athletics at Oregon. Many Variations Where is there a stale that has so many variations of pleasant living climates? The Emerald Empire of the Wil lamette Valley, the Rogue Valley, the Coos Country, the rolling hills of Portland over looking the Willamette and Columbia, the Wallowas, the Blue Mountains, the Steens, etc. Name it, Oregon has it! The people in each of these areas are friendly, competi tive, vigorous and proud. Not puffed up proud, humble proud, and mostly grateful for JEROME QUALIFIES Rome -(UPI)- Harry Jerome, Canada's chief hope for an Olympic gold medal in track, breezed to victory in his open ing heat in the men s 100- meter dash today but other Canadian entries were run ning into trouble. the rugged blessings that are Oregon.

They will do their best. Their places I cannot foresee. I am a teacher, not a prophet. Oh yes, and a hum ble son of Oregon.

Bennett was timed in 1:03.7, compared to his Olympic mam of 1:02.0. But America's entries in women's track and field were not faring as well in the open ing competition in that sport. Willye White, Greenwood, Miss., easily qualified for the women's broad jump finals, hurtling 19 feet, 11 inches on her first try to pass the re quired 19-foot marker. But Anna L. Smith, Atlanta, fouled three straight times and was eliminated. Irene Rabinson. lnglewood, Calif., finished fifth and last in the opening heat of the women's 80-mcter hurdles and was eliminated.

Despite Tuesday's gold med al victories by Bill Mullikan of Champaign, 111., in the men's 200-meter breaststroke and Carolyn Schuler of Irln da, Calif., in the 100-meter butterfly, the United States is running slightly behind the victories anticipated.
