 I predict the United States will win i4 championships out of the 20 in both mems and women's divisions. No other nation will approach this total. I look for the Americans to take i2 out of mems titles, and two out of six womeh's.
 Finland Second Best
 Finland, I predict, will make the best showing of the other nations by winning four firsts. No other nation Is likely to win more than one mems title. The rest of the titles will Do divided among South Africa, Poland, England Argentine, Swithzerland, Australia and Sweden, one goin to each. That covers the 23S mems events.
 Germany will dominate the women's events by winning four out of six firsts or twice as many as the Upited States.
 World record holders and Olyn- pic champions are more numerous ; at Berlin than ct any past Olympics, but the competition will be so keen In many events that some of these stars will fail to triumph in their speciality.
 The United States and Finland have the strongest mems track and field teams here. If there was no dule which specified that each f1a- ton must limit itself to three corl- petitors in each event, the United States and Finland might sweep all places in some events.
 My forecast of each event follows:
 Mems Division
 lO0-Meters - Ralph Metcalfe and Jesse owens will run one-two. My pick is Metcalfe because of his ex.. perience, strength, confidence ana style.
 200-Meters = Again 1t looks like M2tcalfe and owens will run one-J two. owens probably will reverse the finish of the century and win theSPP.
 40O-Metors = Archie William, Dennis Shore, South Africa, and Godfrey Brown, England, leading Ccntenders. feel Shoe has the eGge.
 S0O.Meters - John woodruff, Mario Lan2i, Italy, II. Johannesen, Norway, and .Kasimir Kuchaski, Poland, are best men. Woodruff inpresses me as dangerous, but l favor Kucharski because Of his ex- porience.
