THE AMERICANS

I The United States is not showing
up so well in the Olympic games as
some Americans had hoped.
With the great track and field
events about over, the score in points
stands thus:
United States, ITO.
England, 81.
Finland, So.
The others trail along.
But the United States athletes
have not captured as many points as
all the rest of the world combined,
and nothing less will satisfy the
American. The fans explain that
the American boys had long trip,
half way around the world just be-
fore the games began, and therefore
may be feeling a bit tired. Also,
the great distance and high cost of
transportation has kept many Ameri-
can athletes out who ought to be in.
The European nations naturally do
not suffer under these handicaps.
However, we plain citizens who sit
in our chairs and read the results
over our morning coffee have no
cause to be ashamed, any more than
we had when our boys went over
there before, and pressing past the
retreating hosts of England and
France, drove the flower of the Ger
man army back to Sedan and sur
render.
And we said. with tears in our eyes
aren't the fine, those boys of ours"
They're fine still. They're win
ming the day the worlds sport class
ic, breaking the records made by
strong and swift men of all ages,
causing the people of Europe to stare
again in wonder as they stared at
impossible Belleau Wood and the in
vincible Lost Battalion.
Oh, they are magnificent, these
American Wichita Eagle.
