MEET WITH BRITISH
WORRIES YANKEES
Genung Absent, With ToIan
and MetcaIfe Uncertain
Entries at Frisco.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
~ AN FRANCISCO, August 13.-
Popped up by the cool breezes Of
\ the Golden Gate, Olympic ath-
letes of the British empire and
the United States went through light
workouts here today for the fifth
empire American track and field meet
tomorrow With them were five Japa-
nese, who also participated in the
Olympic contests in Los Angeles.
Several competitors from England
and Canada said they expected to do
better here than they had at Los An
geles, due to cooler weather. Coach
Lawson Robertson of the Americans
could not say as much for his team,
and simulated deeper worry than he
has hitherto expressed over the out
come.
LIE said the American two-mile relay
i i team, without the services OF
Eddie Genung, Americas best 300
meter man, was causing him particular
concern. Whether Charles Hornbostel,
George Bullwinkle, Edwin Turner and
Charles Sansome could defeat the
British quartet of Tom Hampton, Alex
ander Wilson, Philip Edwards and
Johnny Powell left some Of the dif-
ferences Of opinion.
Some doubo was expressed by Rob-
ertSon as to the American chances in
sprints. Sam Goodman, local sports
enthusiast, said Eddie Tolan, double
winner in the Olympics, would COM
pete, but Robertson said he had been
informed the Negro sprinter had
changed his mind Whether Ralph
Metcalfe, who placed second to Tolan
at Los Angeles, would appear also was
uncertain.
ID oBERTsoN, however, had little
X cause to worry in the 120-yard
hurdles, where the United States
will be represented by Percy Beard,
George Sailing and Jack Keller.
Seven of the ten track events, the
only ones which count in the compe-
tition, are relays Six other events,
including two tests for women on track
and four field events fer men, Will be
staged merely as exhibitions.
Robertson said he was most uncer-
tain of winning in the longer relays,
the two-mile, four mile, mile steeple-
chase, the three-mile team race and
the two-mile steeplechase.
Probably the most spectacular exhi-
bition will be the pole vault, with Bill
Miller, world and Olympic champion;
Bill Garner, who has gone higher than
Miller; Bill Jefferson, third American
in the games, and Chuhei Nishida OF
Japan performing.
