There's Sylvio Cator, the dusky broad-jumper from Haiti, who holds the present world's record of 26 feet and a fraction of an inch. He's here to defend it. Having had ex- perience as a newspaper corre- spondent, Sylvio knows the value of publicity and astonished some of the experts by writing them a polite note of thanks for items about him in the public prints. From Poland there’s a rangy runner named Janusz Koscinski, He's subsidized by his Govera- ment, much as wne Finns were a few years ago, as a patriotic meas- ure. 'What's more he thinks he can outrun any of Paavo Nurmi’s suc- cessors at the 5,000 and 10,000- meter distances. The big hope of Czecho-Slovakia | for a headline performance is the| shot-putter Frantisek Douda, who has heaved the 16-pound ball out close to 53 feet. He may be the biggest threat to our Messrs. Brix, Sexton, Rothert or Rhea. Uruguay’s lone entry is a sculler, Guillermo Douglas, who has come a long way to row against such oarsmen as Bobby Pearce, the world’s champion, and Bill Miller, our three-time national sculling ti- tleholder. These are the athletes who come imbued with the real Olympic spir- it, steering clear of all conflicts except the friendly ones of compe- tition. "TOGETHER WE STAND . . » The East and Far West have turned out enough star talent, along with the great American mid- lands, to make up our ablest Olym- pic track and field team this year. With every section so well repre- sented, therefore, it would seem about time to quit haggling over the inconsequential detafls and get down to the real business of ath- letic rivalry with the rest of the world. There has been enough “popping off” to last for the rest of the year in advance of the big jam- boree in Los Angeles. When the boys got through arguing about the timing and starting at Berkeley, they went into a series of heated debates over the final trials. For the time being, at least, sec- tionalism belongs on the shelf. There will be plenty of time to take up our domestic athletic troubles again when the interna- tional Olympic party is over. OPEN UP THE GOLDEN GATE It looks as though it will take nothing less than a full battle squadron, cleared for action, to stop the magnificent surge of Cali- fornia’s eight-oared crew this year. The ability to repeat, under the severest kind of competitive pres- sure, is the real test of class. The Golden Bears, under Ky Ebright's coaching, have set a new high mark - in rowing performance by moving along undefeated this year just as they did in 1928. We may be optimistic, but it doesn’t seem as though any invad- ing naval party is likely to over- haul the Californians this year. e SV, Motorship “ESTEBETH” Leavos Juneau Every Thurs- day at 6 P.
