Olympic Young Men Make Up Dean Team
DOHERTY, OLDEST
OF FOUR, ONLY e
Stewart, Berlinger, Churchill
Are Others-ElkinS May
Be Taken Along.
By the Associated Press.


PHILADELPHIA, July 8-Four young
men 100 per cent inexperienced in Olym-
pic competition are to represent the
United States in the decathlon, the all
round track and field test, in the games
at Amsterdam.
Unless the Olympic committee decides
at the eleventh hour to add the Chero-
kee Indian veteran, Fait Elkins, in spite
of the pulled tendon which kept MIN
from competing in the final trials, Uncle
Sam will have to rest his decathlon
hopes more on youthful vigor than on
experience.
Ken Doherty, the former Detroit City
College star now competing for the
Cadillac A. G.. of Detroit, who came out
on top in the final Olympic trial and
national championship yesterday, is the
oldest of the four who qualified, in ex-
perience as we'll a. years, and he Is
but 30.
Jim Stewart of Los Angeles A. c. and
Barney Berlinger, freshman at the Uni
versity of southern California and Penn
sylvania, respectively, who placed Sec
ond and third, are three years younger,
and Tom Churchill, the finely built
University of Oklahoma boy who was
fourth, is about the same age. None
of them was old enough to even go out
for the 1924 Olympic team.
III fortune pursued the veteran and
favorite in the trials here and so youth
got the call.
After Elkins. injured, had been forced
to default in the very first event of the
10, Tony Plansky formerly of George
town. who probably has seen more de-
cathlon competition than any of the
other entrants failed to finish the grind,
collapsing in the last event. the pun
ishing 1,500-meter run, which Church
i'll made the team by finishing first
Doherty's victory, which was achieved
without gaining a single first-place IN
any of the 10 events, was triumph not
only for youth, but also for the why
build of athlete over the pachyderm
type Outweighed many pounds by
such giants as Stewart and Plansky, the
smiling youngster tipped the beam at
but l62 pounds on the last day Of COM
petition.

EUROPEAN ATHLETES
IN BIG BRITISH MEET
BY NEGLEY FARSON.
Special Cable Dispatch to The star and the
Chicago Daily News.

Chicago Daily News.
LONDON. July 6.-The cream of Eu-
ropes track stars training for the
olympics went into action today at
Stamford Bridge In the British ANA
teur Athletic Association champion
ships. Nearly every country in Europe
Is represented. France sent Is men, the
Germans IA, the Dutch 9 and the Brit
ish dominions IA.
Tremendous interest centers upon the
performances Of the German star ath-
letes. who, many here believe. will give
the American Olympic entrants the bat
tie of their lives. The Germans already
have shattered several olympic records
and the all-around excellence OF the
team makes it the most formidable In
Europe.
The British dominion athletes always
have starred In the Olympic games and
this year promises to be no exception.
Legg, the South African Splinter, has
been clicked at s4-5 seconds for the
hundred yards In competition at
Brighton and Is said to have done 220
yards In 81 Us seconds before leaving
South Africa. Weightman Smith, his
teammate, running the 120-yard hur-
dies at Brighton, was caught by three
watches In 143-5 seconds Atkinson,
the South African, who was second at
the Paris olympic, was only foot and
a half behind Smith In this race.
Members Of the New Zealand Olympic
team have been throwing the javelin
over ais feet in training at Stamford
Bridge and may set up new world
record when they get into the cham
pionships.
