YANKS STRONGEST
SINCE 1872 GAMES
Will Have Formidable Men
in All Running Events Up
to 10000 Meters.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

VEN with a reasonable mark
- down on American Olympic
prospects, prompted by the
- possibility Of mishaps or the
effect of seagoing layoff, there is
every reason to expect the United
States to score more heavily In the
track events this year than in any in
ternational games since 1912.
At Stockholm "A years ago wearers
Of the red, white and blue swept the
fiat races from 100 to 800 meters,
dominated the hurdles and otherwise
figured strongly in foot racing at all
distances. Thereafter Uncle Sans
performers, for one reason or another,
began skidding to the point where
they were lucky to capture one fiat
race. the 400 meters, in the 1928
games at Amsterdam. Only Ray Bar
butts headlong finish averted a shut
out that year.
Home cooking and familiar sur
roundings, as well as better talent,
stirred rally at Los Angeles in 1882.
But there were many disappoint-
ments, the memory Of which, our ex-
perts think, may be wiped out this
August-if all goes we'll.
On the basis of startling perform
ances this year, the U. S. A. is better
equipped than at any time since 1912
to tackle the worlds best-at all foot
racing distances from the sprints to
the 10000 meters.
The amazing Jesse Owens, sup
ported by Ralph Metcalfe, a veteran
OF the 1882 Olympic wars, should
whip all sprint rivals. His recent
mark of 1912 for the 100 meters, a
world record, is reassuring.

The Crushing Build Up.
THERE'S another factor we c

"THERE's another factor we can
consider in the way of an after
math," Tunney continued. This is
is the crushing, the almost overpower-
ing handicap of expert opinion that
makes one contestant q superman,
certain winner. The main burden
then is thrown squarely across his
neck. He must prove all these big
headlines. He must be the hero. And
I am convinced that the burden OF
favorable expert opinion is devas-
tating.
When met Jack Dempsey in Phil
adelphia the burden was all on Jack.
Jack had to be the superman. He
had to fight the fight the experts and
the public were looking for. I could
fight my own fight. Jack was picked
to stop me in few rounds. He had
to come to me quickly. I knew that
That's where I stuck in that first
right hand. I had big advantage
from expert opinion. I only had to
last a few rounds to be something of
hero myself. I had every psyche
logical advantage. and don't forget,
that's big part of competitive sport.
A tremendous part.
There is one spot where we all
went entirely off the road" Tunney
went on. 1T is one place where I
know I went haywire. Boxing, or
fighting, to me never has meant what
we might call the preponderance of
purely physical powers.
''If it all has to be the rule
of the jungle, it would be no
sport worth taking up. In that
case the gorilla or the elephant
or the lion would be champion.
But among human beings in
pugilism there must also be, in addi-
ton to the physical side, a mixture of
the mental and psychological side
lines, including a few common sense
angles on nerve and physical con-
dition.

Already the women's track and field
team has been tentatively cut from II
to 4. The committee reported a
deficit of approximately $4,000 with
no money coming in. Only $500 was
raised from the final try-outs at Provi-
dence Saturday.
Look for Track Sell-Out.
The mems track an. field finals at
Randall's Island, New York. Sat-
urday and Sunday, are slated to draw
a sell-out crowd and make up the
deficit of about $23 600 in that branch.
The women's swimming finals at the

are expected to pay of a $4,000 deficit.
Less is looked for from the mems
swimming finals at Warwick, r. T.,
but the clubs which have representa-
tives are expected to furnish the 5000
needed for swimming and water polo.
The Rowing Committee also has
shifted the burden to the clubs and
colleges, asking them to supply $500
apiece for the 80 oarsmen and coaches.
The fencing squad probably will be
cut from % to IA, the mems symnastic

Tunney took careful aim at

$50 yards down the course AS he
moved along the inevitable query
came up.
Just what" asked Gene. "is your
angle on the Schmeling-Louis fight,
now that it has become somewhat
ancient history?"
Accepting the fact that Gene Tun-
nev knows more about all combined
angles OF pugilism-physical, mental
and psychological-than any one I
know, I lost no time in countering,
viz: "Just what is your angle?"
Admitting that thought the Louis
I had seen In three fights would
knock out the Schmeling I had seen
in three fights, We might turn back
to an interview I gave you after
the Louis-Baer contest You may
recall that I brought out two points
worth remembering I said there
were two weak spots that kept Louis
from being rated as any superman.
The first was lack of experience
and there is no substitute for ex-
perience. The second point was that
he could be hit with a good right
hand
Your correspondent recalled these
early warnings.
Tunney's Angle.
THAT still doesn't explain the big
splash" I suggested.
"1'll admit that" Gene said. II
had seen Schmeling meet Jack Shar-
key twice and had seen him against
Baer. In those three fights he was
Just an average, ordinary heavy
weight. I never thought Louis was
any superman, but I couldn't see how
he could lose to Schneling.
I'll tell you how we all made
our mistake. The Louis that
we knew was really q ring mar
vel at the age of FL. He was
the greatest 21-year r-old fighter
that ever lived.
"Corbett won his title at 2S-
Dempsey at 24-Jeffries at 24-Fitz-
simmons at 35-Willard at 80 or
older. I won mine at %. But here
was a kid of 81 who seemed TO have
everything. As a matter of fact, he
lacked only two things-mentality to
meet the situation and experience"
How the Splash Arrived.
THE Louis who fought Ramage,
= Carnera, Levirsky and Baer
was an entirely different Louis from
the fighter who faced Schmeling.
The first Louis was a young bachelor,
willing to listen to Jack Blackburn,
a kid on his way up. The second
Louis was a fellow who kept saying,
I'm a married man now and I can
take care Of myself And this Louis
was only shadow of the Louis we
had seen in action. In his other
fights he was keen, alert, with left
and right in correct position. Against
Schmeling his left frequently was
held below the belt line. In his other
fights he was relaxed and ready.
Against Schmeling he was nervous,
an entirely different Louis"
In Just what way?" I asked.
Louis" Tunney said, had
been . marvellous exponent of
what we might call unwasted
action. His economy Of motion
was extraordinary.
He made every move count. There
was no surplus exertion. But in the
very first clinch with Schmeling he
began hammering away at the Ger
mans shoulders and elbows. It is
what we call filling in I turned to
Bernhard Gimbel in that first round
and said. This is going to be inter-
esting. This isn't the Louis we have
