NEW YORK, July IL (P).-Italy ap-
IN parently will have at least one
distinction in the Olympic games
at Los Angeles-no one else is likely to
have so tall an athlete as 6-foot
finch Giulio Guardini, twice Olympic
fencing champion.
Big Guardini and little Ugo Frigerio,
famous walker, drew most of the at
tention when the colorful Italian team
of lO8 athletes arrived yesterday. Fri
eerio, winner of the 5000 and 10000
meter walking titles in the 1920 games
and the 10000 meters in 1924, thinks
he can whip the worlds best in the
5O.00O-meter grind at Los Angeles. He
did not compete at Amsterdam in 1928
since his specially was not on the pro-
gram.
The Italian contingent included rep
resentatives in track and field, fencing,
gymnastics, boxing, wrestling, weight
lifting, rowing, rifle shooting, sailing,
cycling, swimming and modern pen
tathlon.
