whose performances have sent the
Union Jack flying atop the Olympic
victory pole in the past will be Great
Britain's chief reliance in the 1928
athletic carnival at Amsterdam.
Two and possibly three Of the
British big Four" Of the 1924
games at Paris will defend their
titles.
Douglas G. A. Lowe, Olympic
S0O-metcr champion and one Of the
greatest middle distance racers
England has ever produced, tops
the track and field talent. He prob.
ably will captain the team unless
that honor goes to the popular and
titled hurdler, Lord "Davy" Burgh-
ley, who has exhibited his proves
both 1T home and abroad.
Beresford Works Scull
jock Beresford, Jr, tire Olympic
scr.lirg king, also is training to
defend his laurel5 with the prob.
ability that his chief rival will be
the crack Canadian youngster, Joe
Wright, Jr.
Harold Abrahams, the Cam
bridge all-around star who upset
American hopes by winning the
13o-meter dash four years ago, is
out Of competition but there is still
hope that Eric Liddell, the 400
meter champion, will return from
his missionary work in China for
the Olympics.
Abrahams suffered q breakdown
after the last Olympics and has not
run since but England has new
candidate for sprint honors in H..
H. Hodge, who has done 100 yards
in close to worlds record time.
Lord Burghley Back
Lord Burghley will be strong
contender in the 11O-metcr high as
we'll as the 40O-meter low hurdles.
He has marks of II as and Sd 2-5
seconds for these events, both of
which were won by Americans the
last time. F. r. Gaby, five times
British champion. and T. G. Liv-
ingston-Learmouth of Cambridge
! will be other hurdling aspirants.
| If Liddell does not return British
hopes in the 40O-meter flat race
will be pinned on G. M. Butler, who
was second in 1920 but unplaced in
1924. In the middle distances Lowe
will have the aid of H. B. Stallard,
q contender in both the 500 and
1,5OO-meter races in 1924.
The British are economizing, on
the whole, in organizing their track
and field team. Quotas will not be
filled in all of the events while in
some, such as the vaulting and
wcight-tossing, in which John Bull
is outclassed, no entries will be
made at all.
