STARS FACE TASK
/ OF PR|M|NG TWICE
Have Fallen Down Before at
Big Moment After Pre-
Games BriIIianCe.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

A S far as our olympic chances
~ are concerned, the most
4 \ important thing now is to
keep these next few weeks
an upgrade matter instead of a
slide. Three important semi
finals for the Olympic team were
staged over the week end, and
every athlete had to give enough
to win or he wouldn't have been
in at the later squeezeS. But
where the coaches and trainers
have their task is in setting up
two peaSs, the final elimination at
Palo Alto on July IS and Is, and
the OlympicS themselves.
There's no doubt about it, one Of the
things that has done most to keep
americans humble-if they are-is the
United States record in Olympic fiat
races. One solitary triumph by Jack
son V. Scholz at Paris in 1924, and
single victory by Ray Barbuti at
Amsterdam represent our total take for
eight years. From a land of 100000
900 and more, we should have sent more
winners into action.
