WHILE the average track and field
w meet does not attract any great
number of spectators, compare
lively speaking, and does not guarantee
thrills for the jaded, nearly every ses-
sion of the Olympic Games has pro-
duced some real melodrama. At the
first games in Athens the interest
centered in the marathon race, where
all of the world wanted TO see a
Greek win.
This race was run over the same
route that the messenger from the
battle took on his way with the news
of Marathon to Athens. The watchers
at the finish waited for two hours to
see the leader of the pack appear with
In sight of the finish. It was q Greek,
Lones, who came through the dust to
finish
At the Olympic Games In London it
was the marathon that furnished the
melodrama and considerable bitterness.
Dorando. the italian, was leading, and
by safe distance, when he fell ex-
hausted and could not continue. SYM
pathetic spectators lifted him UP and
almost carried him across the finish
line. Behind him plodded little Johnny
Hayes, the American. First Dorando
was announced as the victor. Then
Hayes was given the crown.
At Stockholm Jim Thorpe, the Sac
and Fox Indian, won the decathlon and
was heralded as one of the greatest
athletes the world ever saw. He was
decorated with more medals than an
athlete ever gathered at any one meet.
But afterward it was discovered that
Thorpe had played base ball for pay
and the man who probably was the
greatest all-around athlete bred In the
United States was stripped of his tTo-
phies and his name does not even ap-
pear in the records of the modern
olympic Games.

those who take part in a successful

the Navy won against its service

Between Olympic games these sports
seem to lag. A track and field meet is
rather a scattered show, like circus
with many rings, but with the clowns
omitted. There is not the concentrated
interest in it that is held by spectacle
that is staged-managed to produce
drama Only now and then there is
a race that brings the thrills. The field
events do not produce any great ex-
element until 1t is announced that one
of the athletes Is breaking a world
record or is abount to do that thing.
Even then there is no great dramatic
interest in watching weight HEAVIER

tional form.

One of the criticisms that has beer
made against the training of American
athletes is that they have not beer
trained for stamina and endurance
They do well in the events which cal
for sudden bursts of speed or short
displays of concentrated strength such
as demanded in the field events. But
in the longer races they have burned
out quickly.
This is not upheld by the records. Ir
the marathon, which is the sterneSt
test of endurance, American athlete:

to two first places in the long race.
With the Olympic Games being held
in the United States next year, there

the American team will not be appar-
