BEAT AMERICA,
CRY HARD At
OLYMPIC FEST

Antwerp, Aug. 11.-(By United
Press)-Beat America!
That apparently is the one object
and purpose Of the athletic teams
representing other countries Of the
world, here for the Olympic games.
The other contenders realize that
the Americans have the best en-
tries on paper and believe if they
can hold the Yankees each will
have An opportunity to carry off
the honors.
The Swedes are especially conf
dent that they will stop the Ameri-
cans.
The American team is the most
complete on the ground for the
games. They are not worrying as
to the outcome, although they are
far from over-confident. Expert
observers believe the Americans
will take all Of the track events up
to a mile, with the exception Of the
hurdles. Earl Thompson. the
crack Canadian hurdller. is figured
to cop first in the hurdles with
ease.
The Americans are not counted
on to take the long races, including
the marathon. The boxers from the
United States are expected to have
an easy time. but the ,wrestlers will
run against some stiff competition
from the Greeks and Italians.
