you have run a faster race than
you did?"
Lovelock smiled and, turning to
the British reporters, said; These
American reporters! They will pin
you down. They've had me at
Princeton and now they have me
at Berlin. Well, I'll say this much.
I knew I could run to a world rec
ord today I didn't know if it
would be good enough to win, but
I knew someone would have to do
mighty well to beat me. There's
no telling what would have hap
pened in the stretch. had we been
all together"
There wasn't an American coach
who saw the race who didn't say
that Loyelock, in winning, was the
hottest" thing he ever saw on
the track and that he finished with
lots Of run in his legs.
Frank WEIGH, who coaches San
Romani, said it was the greatest
performance he had seen in all his
years Of coaching and that he was
proud his boy could finish as well
as fourth in such a field.

clocked him at 56 for his last
quarter. You can't beat that in
an automobile!"
