The CRITICS of the unsportsmanlike
attitude of the British officials made
by James E. Sullivan, president Of the
American Amateur Athletic union and
American commissioner at the Olym-
pic games, is heartily concurred in by
every foreigner here. 1t is generally
conceded that it would have been i'm
possible for Carpenter to have fouled
Halswell at the 800 meter post as he
was three strides ahead of the Eng
lishman. Britishers are criticized for
rushing into the track, breaking the
tape and refusing to allow the event
to be officially timed
