Besides that we’ve got that old American spirit of competition.” More than 103,000 people .cram med the mammoth nevr Melbourne Cricket Ground each of the seven days of track and field for a total of 2,000,000 paying customers—• largest in Olympic history. (See ANDERSON, Page 5) By BARRY HART Battalion Sports Editor A&M’s Coach Frank (Colonel Andy) Anderson was back at Aggieland this week for his final year as head track coach after achieving a lifetime ambition—that of being one of the United States Olympic coaches. “It was a great privilege and an honor to work with the very top athletes of the world,” said the always-busy Ander son. Colonel Andy brought four of his charges through to gold medals, including three Olympic records. Greg Bell leaped to a first place in the broad jump; Harold Connolly regained the hammer throw title for America after a 32-year absence; Milt Campbell ran away with the decathlon and A1 Oerter won the discus. 4 r Campbell, Connolly and Oerter set new Olympic rec ords with their feats. Camp bell ran up a new high of 7,937 points in the 10-event de cathlon. Connolly’s throw of 207- S 1 /^ in the hammer broke the old mark while Oerter pitched the platter 184-11 to put another re cord into the books. COLONEL AJJDY, who has been a spectator at three previous Olympiads, was one of the four American coaches. Anderson was selected to represent the south with Minnesota’s Jim Kelly head coach and from the north; Jes Mortenson of the University of Southern California the west coast representative and Yale’s Bob Giegengeck the eastern delegate. Anderson tutored the broad- jump, hop, step and jump, hammer throw and discus while Mortenson coached the high jump, pole vault, javelin and discus. Kelly and Giegengeck handled all the runners and hurdlers. In the strictly unofficial (the Olympic officials do not authorize any sort of point system) point totals, scored on a 10-5-4-3-2-1 basis, the U.S.S.R. swept past the U.S.A., 722-593, with the majority of their gold medals coming in the fringe sports of gymnastics, field hockey, soccer and Greco- Roman wrestling. “The people of Melbourne will not believe that the U. S. lost,” emphasized Colonel Andy, “be cause those people saw us com pletely dominate the big show— track. We can ignore the score. I think we can say we won the Olympics with the finest effort we’ve ever produced.” “I don’t think Russia will ever illii .
