On this next occasion, Patton and Barney Ewell will have trouble overpowering LaBeach in the two shorter sprints. We have no one to handle Herb McKenley of Jamaica, who has run the 400 below 46. Whitfield has a terrific battle on his hands in the 800 as the stamina-infesteSwedes, headed by Lennert Strand, take over the 1,500 meter test. Any slight chance we ever had in this race, the best race on the card, vanished with Gil Dodds. And Dodds at his best was a long price. Whitfield can be the team's leading star. We have heard every reason under the sun for our inability to develop a distance runner. The automobile? Well, the Finns and Swedes also have automobiles. Running time takes too long? It does for us. Lack of Interest? Why? A marathon Is a far bigger race to win than the 100 yard or 100 meter dash. Do we develop race horses to run four furlongs or a mile and a half and two miles? Speed is important In a horse, but no more Important than his ability to go the route. The Kentucky Derby is a mile and a quarter. We have no derby types in our Olympic runners. They are from four to six furlong runf ners. Exactly they are from to one furlong operators. When you have CI nations and some 5,000 athletes no one can say what has taken place in the last 12 years since the Berlin games. There will be formidable competition from Sweden, Finland, Australia, England, Jamaica, also Czechoslovakia. Young John Kelly should take care of the scullers and California should hold Its own in the elghtoared race. We have not done so well at men's swimming since Johnny Weismuller started climbing trees and beating up gorillas. We have won races the last five eight-oare- d hut haven't been any too hot at d the types, with and without a coxswain. One interesting feature of these games is the comparative times and measurements from 1836 to 1936 the first and the last. For example in 1806 W. W. Hoyt won the pole vault with 10 feet 934 inches. In 1936 Earl Meadows won with 14 feet, 3'i inches a lift of nearly four feet. In 1806, E. H. Clark won the high jump at 5 foet. ll'i inches. In 1936, Johnson won at 0 feet 7 and 1516 inches almost a foot higher. In 1R96 Burke won the 100 meter run in 12 seconds. In 1936 Owen won with 10.3. The 400 meter run dropped from 54.4 to 4G.5, nearly 9 seconds. The. 1500 meter run dropped from 4.33.4 in 1896 to 3.47.8 in 1938. This means a difference of more than 45 seconds.
