U. S. Athletes j
Win Several
Olympic Firsts
(Continued from Page One)
before Dillard captured the met
ric century. The former Indiana
University star led from the first
hurdle and was given a tremend
ous ovation as he won by five
yards in the Olympic record
breaking time of 51.1 seconds.
In the Empire poolhouse, the
stars and stripes was hoisted to
mark a U. S. sweep in the spring
board diving competition, won by
Bruce Harlan of Ohio State.
Then Wally Ris, brilliant free
style artist from the University
of Iowa, splashed to victory in
the 100-meter sprint in Olympic
record time of 57.3 seconds. Alan
Ford of Yale finished second in
57.8 and Deith Carter of Purdue
U. was fourth behind Hungary’s
Geza Kadas.
Barney Ewell, 50-year-old for
mer Penn State speedster from
Lancaster, Pa., closed with a ter
rific burst that almost caught
Dillard and resulted in a long
conference among the judges.
Ewell finally was awarded sec
ond place, with Lloyd Lebeach of
Panama third. Alan McCorqao
dale of Great Britain was a sur
prising fourth and Mel Patton of,
Southern California, considered |
the favorite, was a disappointing
fifth. E. MacDonald Bailey of
Great Britain was sixth.
Dillard’s surprising triumph in
the century was no less impres- ;
sive than that of Cochran, who j
flashed over the hurdles in 51.5
seconds to shatter the Olympic
record by eight-tenths of a sec
ond.
Cochran, a former Indiana U.
star running for the Los Angeles
Athletic club, and Rune Larssen
of Sweden set the previous mark ,
of 51.9 seconds in Friday’s trials
when both surpassed the old rec
ord of 52 flat set by Glenn Hardin
of the United States in 1932.
Duncan White, a big, complete- \
ly unknown hurdler from Ceylon, j
finished second behind Cochran
in Saturday’s final, with Larsson
third.
(By Ted Smits)
OLYPIC STADIUM, Wembley,
England, (£*) — Mai Whitfield,
American army master sergeant,!
showed his heels to the world’s
fastest 800 meter man today to
win one of the most coveted track
championships of the Olympic
games for the United States.
The little Ohio State runner
with the massive legs drew the
pole position, lagged in third
place through the first lap, took
the lead at the halfway point and
fought off the challenge of the
six-foot, four-inch Arthur Wint
of Jamaica to win by three yards.
The American covered the dis
tance of 874.9 yards in 1:49.2 for
an Olympic record, cutting six
tenths of a second off the previ
ous mark of 1:49.8 set by Tom
Hapson of England in an immor
tal race at Los Angeles in 1932.
Mel Patton, Barney Ewell and
Cliff Bourland won their prelim
inary heats in the 200 meter dash
but two of the three Americans in
the discuss throw failed to reach
the finals.
Patton, the University of South
ern California speedster who was
a disappointing fifth in the 100
meter final, started his comeback
by taking one of the 200 meter
heats in 21.6 seconds.
Bourland, a former Southern
Convict Krupp Of •
War Crimes
NUERNBERG, Germany, (/P)—
Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und
Halbach, was convicted on two
war crimes counts and sentenced
to 12 years in prison.
Krupp, 41-year-old heir to the
Krupp munitions works, was con
victed of exploiting slave labor
and plundering Nazi-occupied |
lands. The U. S. military court
convicted 10 other Krupp direc
tors on the slave labor count,
five of them on the plunder
count, and acquitted one of the 12
defendants.
Judge M. C. Anderson ,of Jack
son, Tenn., who presided over the
three-man court, sentenced the
other 10 convicted directors to
terms ranging from 12 years to
two years and 10 months.
No snake has eyelids or exter
nal openings for its ears.
California star, took it easy and
looked very good in winning in
21.3. His time matched that of
Herb McKenley, the Jamaica ace,
who won the first heat.
