As the last day of the swimming competition started, the United States men led Japan, 56 ¢o 43, and the women were five and a half points ahead of Holland, 48 to 42%. Two more finals were scheduled in the men’s competition, the 200 meter breast stroke, and the 1,500 meter free style. In the breast stroke event, America had one man, Johnny Higgins, Pro- vidence, R. I, in the finals, and he was generally conceded no more than a fair chance to win. But in the 1,500 meters, Jack Me- dica of Seattle was definitely among the favorites. Dutch Girl Favored With only one women’s final event scheduled, the 400 meter free style, Rita Mastenbroek of Holland favored to win it, America’s chance of hold- ing its 5% point lead over the Dutch was not good. In the boxing competition, only tall, slender Jackie White, Cleveland Ne- gro bantamweight, remained. His victory Friday over Ortiz of Mexico qualified him for a try for the gold medal, as Lou Laurie, White's fellow- townsman, was eliminated from the flyweight class by Matta of Italy. In addition to the victories in the eight-oared rowing event and in the backstroke, America could boast of the first Olympic basketball title, with a 19-8 victory over Canada. No adjectives were spared for the ‘Washington crew, however. Friday, trailing Italy by a length with 600 meters to go, they came up with a magnificent spurt and cross- ed the mark a quarter of a length ahead, The Standings (By the Annociated Prens) NORTHERN LEAGUE L Pet.
