Newsfeatures Sports Writer
NEW YORK-When they hand
out the laurel wreathb < to the
Olympic track and field victors at
London, 11 of them will go to
brawny young men wearing the
Stars ana Stripes.,
How do I know? I don’t. I'm
jnst gaming. But, itV a guess
based or charts, letters, articles,
interviews and personal observa
tions.
From this vantage point, it looks
as if Americans will win, these 11
events: 100 meters, 200 metert,
400-meter and 1600-meter relay*.
110-meter and 400-meter hurdles,
pole vault, broad jump,, shot put,
discus, and decathlon.
In addition, U.S. athletes have
a good chance to ’ win the high
jump, 800 meters and javelin.
There are 24 events in all.
One of the two men I expect
to score doable victories in the
contests is Mel Patton, Southern
California's great sprint star.
He will win the 100 and 290
meters if his fragile under
pinnings can withstand the
strain of the numerous heata.
Panama’s lightning-fast Lloyd
LaBeach and 31-year-old Bar
ney Ewell of Lancaster, Pa.,
will be his toughest: competi
tion and you probably will be
able to toss a medium-sized
hair net over all three at the
finish of both sprints.,
John Treloar and John Bartram
of Australia, Harrison Dillard and
Cliff Bourland of the and
Jose Lopez Testa of tJruguay
should be the other finalists in
the two events.
There will be no catching world
record holder Herb McKenley of
Jamaica in the 400 meters. Mc
Kenley fears George Guida, just
rounding into form, and Morris
Curotta of Australia.^ who has
beaten him down under, but they
will be lucky to be close.
The 800 meters is one of those
races that makes limb-climbing
such a hazardous occupation. Four
men can win it—Leo Horst-Soren
son of Denmark, Mai Whitfield of
the U.S.A., Arthur Wint of Ja
maica, and Olle Ljunggren of Swe
den. Pm sticking 'with Horst-So-
rensen’s whirlwind finish to nip
Whitfield at the tape. The Dane
has won easily over tpp European
competition. Ljunggren is Swedish
champ and boasts fast 1 times. Whit
field was not extended in winning
at thie Olympic trials. Wint’s lopg-
stride could carry him to victory.
It’ll be 1-2-3 for the Swedes
J
for second and Goesta
third, with Marcel H
France and Gaston
Belgium in contention
I like Czechoslhvakia’s great
Emile Zatopek in both the 5,000
and 10,000 meter runs with Viljo
Heino of Finland and Bertil Al-
bertsson of Sweden dose. Willi
SUkjhuia of Holland, William Nel
son of New Zealand, and Jero
Szilagyi of Hungary are good.
Raphael Pujazon of France
haan’t lost a 3,000 metar steeple
chase race for three years and he
shouldn’t lose at London.
Tab Jack Holden of England
the' winner in the fabulous Mara-
on. He knows the climate and
e course, but will have plenty
tough competition.
tfa hhth
The U.S.A. should
relays. Olympic Coach Dean
Cromwell is a master of baton
passing technique. Jamaica and
Australia will be right bell
lustralia will be right behind
in both races. The American
quartet in the 400 will be
Ewell; Patton, Dillard and Ed
die Conwell of Jersey City.
The 1,600 team will feature
Whitfield, who probably will
pass Qp the 400 meters to con
centrate on the 800 And the re
lay, Dave Bolen of Colorado,
Guida, and Art Harnden of Tex
as A&M.
Americans are traditionally
strong in the field events* and the
hurdles. I look for Americans to
score 1-2-3 in both hurdles and
the pole vault, shot put and broad
jump. |
Although Harrison Dillard, the
world’s top high hurdler, did not
even make the. U.S. tekm in a
stunning form reversal, Bill Por
ter of Northwestern, Craig Dixon
of U.C.L.A. and . Clyde Scott of
Arkansas, will be too fast for the
foreigners. Take your pick of the
three to win. I take P<~* '
f Roy Cochran of Los A ig lei will
win the 400 meter lodr arjrielrs,
with Jeff Kirk of Penn ec >n< and
Dick Ault of Missouri Ihiid. [j. C.

According to Adams, Morisse

shown great improvement under
the watchful eyes of Manager
John Miller, the former Texas
