defbolt, shattered another Olympic record as he ran first in the third heat of the qualifying trials for the 2o0-meter run in the llth olympic games today.
 The dusly speedster, who scored Alnerica's first racing victory of the garaes yesterday in winning the 100- meter title, covered the course in 2i-i seconds, shaving Q tenth of Q second off the Olympic mark set in ip32 by Eddie Tolan of the United States.
 After winning his heat, Owens trotted over to the broad jump pit and qualified for the final in that event. After frightening his follow CTS by fouling his first two trise, he easily surpassed the qualifying mark of @ feet, Q -i6 inches on his third attempt.
 owens moved into the semi-final of the 200.meter trials thit after noon with ease. Running easily, he moved into the lead at the gun and stayed in front down to the tape.
 Second to the Ohio state flash was Lee Pearce of Canada. Necker- mann of Germany was third. ; Owens, who twice equalled the Olympic record and once shattered the World mark, in running the heats and final of the l00-meter race, was far short his world record of 20.3 which is up for acceptance by the International Aamateur Athletic federation.
 Because he enjoyed e stiff follow ing wind this morning, 1t was cer- tain that owens mark wounld not be recognized as Q new Olympic record.
 Four heats later, Bobby Packard of the University of Georgia equalled the Olympic mark of 2i.2. Packard surged into the lead entering the home stretch and won easily over 0rimbeck of South Africa.
 Glenn Hardin of the United States won the first semi-nnal heat of the 40D.meter hurdles ct the ilth Iyym- piS games today.
 Joseph Patterson of the United States won the second semi-fnal, joining Hardin in this afternoon's finals.
 Mat Robinson of Pasadena, Cal, joined owens and Packard in the Berni-finals by winning the eighth and final heat in 2i.6 seconds. He led throughout, winning by two strides over Tammisto of Finland.
 America also landed It's other men in the finals of the broad jump. Johnny Brooks of Chicago and Bobby Clark of San Francisco both easily surpassed the necessary quali- flying distance.
 Later, after all the qualifiers for the broad jump had been decided, it was announced that Owens quali- fled on his second and not his third jump.
 owens received rcd hags-fouls- on his first two jumps and received the white flag on his final try. It was explained that the flag-rnan made q mistake in Tagging the first leap as Q foul Owens initia jump was not official, merely Q warm-up jump.
 Argument
 Jesse had spat with the officials over his first jump. Because of the hard condition of the sand pit, he wanted to give everything on his first jump, hoping his mark would stand for the finals. The officials refused and told Jesse he would have to compete in the finals this afternoon regardless of how far he jumped in the prcliminaries.
 Despite protests of the Americans and Japanese and promises of olympic officials to change the con- ditions, the broad- jump pits this morning were filled with heavy sand. The Americans and Japanese endangered their legs when landing and requested change to mix ture of sand and sawdust.
 The sand today was flush with the ground instead of heaped, which softens the landing. That is why Owens tried to make one good jump this morning in hopes that the mark would be good enough to stand this afternoon during the finals.
 U. s. Loses
 Italy defeated the United States, f3-3, in the second round of the mems team foil Olympic fencing to- day. United States still is in the running, however, and meets Hun gary this afternoon in the same round.
