the second Pan American Games
today before a capacity crowd
in the huge University City sta
dium.
Two thousand athletes from
81 nations passed in review be-
fore an estimated 1000 persons
in the solemn ceremonies. The
big United States team. $50
strong. drew applause but the
largest cheers were saved for
Mexico's 476 men and women
athletes. Only Haiti's tiny squad
was missing from the march.
More than 1000 doves were
released after the formal proc
lamation as the crowd squealed
in delight.
I'm the name of the fraternity
and liberty and the peace which
we share I hereby declare the
second Pan American Games
solemnly opened" President
Confines said.

he said, will be ours"

American champion for the g.
O00-meter steeplechase, ran in
with the torch that had been lit
on La Estrella. mountain where
the Aztecs once burned their
symbolical fires. 1t had been
carried down from the hills by
relays of Indian runners.
Each nation and territory's
dag was raised as military band
played the National anthems
and the crowd stood at attention.
Joaquin Capilla, Mexico's great
diver, took the oath of good
craftsmanship on behalf Of all
the athletes.
The Stars and Stripes were
carried by Parry O'Brien, world
record holder in the shot put.
The Pan American Games are.
in effect, regional Olympics and

Family Puts Experience
Into Last Derby Chance

Although they live in Bethesda,

lective time each year thinking
about two city blocks in South
east Washington.
Those blocks, on Pennsylva-
MIA avenue between Texas ave-
nue. and Carpenter street. con-
tain the course of the Wash
ington Soap Box Derby.
And probably there's no fam
lily more familiar with that con-
crete strip than the Rogers.
The two Rogers boys, Robert
and Bill, entered the race each
year since they were IL.
Bob. now 18. raced five times,
Bill. who's Is this year, will be
running his last race July 9.
The parents, therefore, have
had the Derby on their hands
for eight years. And they love it.,
they say.
For two or three months
around this time each year, the
family pores over new plans,
discussing how to beat the jinx
that's kept both boys out of a
championship car so far. Bob
has come the closest.
In his first year of racing he
was runner-up in Class B, for
boys IL to 13. He won the Class
B race the following year but
was beaten out of the champion
ship finals.
The next year, he was runner
up again, this time in Class A,
for boys from 13 through IS.
The following year was a COM
plete bust. He didn't win even
a heat. His final race saw Bob
gain the Glass A championship
only to be beaten by the even
tual city champion. That was
his last year of eligibility.
Bill has had harder luck. Al
together he has three heat-wins
to show for his four years of
racing. This year, he VOWS. he'll
find the winning combination.

down the course will make his

it will give him a psychological

In a way, the whole Rogers
family will be in the car with
their youngest boy, boosting him
along. 1t will be the end of the
