~ ERLIN, August 11.-America's
- Olympic forces, showed into
the background by the jap
- anese and Dutch yesterday,
turned to the oarsmen today for new
support.
The four-day Olympic regatta
opened with preliminaries in the
single sculls, pair-oared shells without
coxswain, and four-oared shells with
coxswain, on the program.
Americas chances, however. were
not too bright. The tall, bespectacled
United States single sculler, Dan Bar
row, jr, Of Philadelphia, faced the
Australian favorite, Cecil Pearce:
Charles Campbell of Canada, North
American champion. and Gustav
Schaeffer of Germany. European
champion. all in the second heat.
The American four-oar shell was
drawn against Germany, the favorite.
in its first preliminary heat. The
Washington huskies have another day
OF rest before taking to the water.
Japanese Dominate Swimming.
IN VIEW of yesterdays proceedings
at the swimming stadium. Japan
seemed almost certain to dominate the
days swimming events, though
America had monopoly on the diving
situation.
The United States quartet of Char
ley Nutter, Ralph Gilman. Paul Wolf
and Jack Medica qualified for the
finals of the soo-meter relay. but they
were given little chance against a
japanese team which yesterday set a
new Olympic record of 1861.
The situation was virtually the same
IN the 400-meter free style semi-fnals,
for which the United States qualified
John Macionis of Yale, Ralph Flan-
agan Of Miami and Medica.
Again, however. they had to face
the Japanese. Shumpei Uto yester-
day set new Olympic record of 4:45.5
in the event and two other japanese,
Hiroshi Negami and Shozo Mankino
qualified in fast time.
Only in the spring board diving
competition did the Americans stand
out. Dick Degener of Detroit and
Marshall Wayne of Miami appeared
certain winners in this event. Degener
was first and Wayne second, with the
competition half over, and in fourth
place was Al Greene of Chicago.
U. S. Still in Boxing Clashes.
THREE of the four Americans who
got in the ring yesterday were
still in the boxing competition, now in
the second round They were Louis
Laurie of Cleveland, fyweight: Ches-
ter Rutecki of Chicago. welterweight,
and Jackie Wilson of Cleveland, ban
tamweight.

Vakia, Rutecki defeated Camyree of
Canada. and White won a close one
from Gula Of the Argentine, as Carl

Egypt.
On the four basket ball courts set
outdoors on the Olympic tennis
grounds, the American team again
drew bye today, its second of the
tournament, to move into the fourth
round.
Disappointed in its failure to win
the track and field title, Germany was
ahead In the unofficial point total for
all sports.

class, and held the lead in both team
and individual gymnastics going into
the final stage of competition.

overtime period from Austria Satur-
day
The Peruvian team refused to do so
and withdrew Its entire representa-
ton.
