Two World aud Ore Olympic
Records Shattered During
Last Day of Colombes Meet

COLOMBO, France, July IA
America left the Olympic batte-
field here Sunday triumphant in
track and field for the eighth sue
cessive time since the modern re-
vival of the Olympic games. Bug
when dusk brought a close to the
greatest and most spectacular fight
ever witnessed for international
athletic honors, america shared this
final glory with her gallant rival
from the north, finland.
Although the Americans in a
convincing and final demonstration
of their all-round supremacy shat
tered two more world and one
Olympic record, the premier man
tie of Olympic triumph went to the
new Finnish hero, Albert Stenroos
who raced under blazing sun to
the classic marathon championship,
victory which capped the climax
of Finland's clean sweep of the
distance races and gave the little
Nordic country the greatest athletic
laurels it over has known.
But remarkable as was Stenroos'
triumph in the worlds greatest test
of heart and stamina, the highcs5
honor of all in the final analysis
must be bestowed upon his com
tryman, Paavo Nurmi, who com
pleted a phenomenal record when
leading his team to victory in the
3,000-merto race, he won his
fourth triumph of the games.
Taking the three final days in
record breaking fashion, the United
States ran its final point total to-
255 as compared with Finland's 1G6
and also gained the coveted margin
in first places, with II to 10 for
Finland.
The American relay teams show
ed astonishing speed in capturing
both the 400 and 1,6OO-metro
team events in the worlds record
time, while bud Houser, the husky
California collcgian, broke the
Olympic record in winning the dis
Gus throw, adding his name to
those of Osborne, America, and
Ritola, Finland, the only double
victors to share a portion of Nurmfs
glory.
Another worlds record also went
to America, when the announce
ment was made that Harold Os-
borne had won first place in the
decathlon with an unprecedented
point score Of 7.710 and a frac
ton.
The United States won the track
and field competition by a score
of 255 points. Finland was second
with 1876 points. The Americans
won twelve first places to ten By
the Finish athletes.
The United States sabre team
met with a crushing, defeat at the
