FOOD IS STENROOS’ IDEA AFTER VICTORY By the Associated Press OLYMPIC ADIUM, COLOMBES. France, July 14—The first thought of the Finnish marathon victor, Sten- roos, after crossing the line and acknowledging the crowd's plaudits, was to get a square meal. He had little comment to make on the race, remarking that the going seemed just right and that he felt no distress at any time and could have gone faster if pushed. Stenroos first took up athletics as a wrestler when about 20 years of age, but soon turned to distance run- ning., as apparently do most of the ’inns, if their Olympie showing is any criterion. He won his first mara- thon a score of years ago and ran his last competitive race at that dis- tance in 1909, when he turned his attention to shorter distances until this year's Olympics, when he was persuaded to go back into the longer race, because Hannes Kolehmainen was unable to regain his 1320 cham- ionship form. P Stenroos competed in the 1912 Olympics, when he ran third to Ko- lehmainen in the 10,000 meter run, but was put out of competition for some time when he fractured his ankle in the cross-country race in those games. Undawnted, however, he came back to continue running in better form than ever. Kolchmainen was a tragic flgurc after the race; he seemed heart- broken over his’ inability to finish in his attempt to win two Olympic marathons. He asserted that he was going well and had hopes of catching the leaders until he developed stom- ach trouble and had to quit, after covering 28 kilometers.

Australia and Great Britait gained one cach. The 400-meter individual run and relay witnessed the most startling assaults against time, the records for cach being lowered three times, with Liddell of Great Britain holding the former mark which Imbach of Switzertand and Fitch of the United States also held for a time.
