Thomas-who had just fin-

Tasia stood on Thomas left

Now" said Tasia, slipping
her arm around Thomas waist,

Cameramen snapped away as
the two Soviet girls smiled up
at Thomas. who seemed visibly
impressed with the friendly
embraces.
While this was going on at
one end of an Olympic athletic
field, Russian and American
men were getting together at
the oher end.
This time it was the Soviet
Unions decathalon athlete, a
Vastly Kuznetsov, who made
the advance.
I'D like a picture with you"
he told his great American
rival, Rafer johnson.
Sure" johnson replied, but
Id like to include a friend"
johnson. a Negro, beckoned
to C. K. Yang who represents
Chang Kai-Shek's Nationalist

For a moment Kuznetsov
hesitated because Russia's re-
lations with Nationalist China
are colder than frigid.
"Oh, come on" urged john
son.
ok" Kuznetsov said, but
I don't know you," he added
with a mock frown at Yang.
Then. with their arms around
one another they posed.
Over on one side of the field
a Russian and an American

Delany of Ireland is limiting he
may not defend his l,500-meter
Olympic title.
The lean Irishman with the
devastating finishing kick, who
attended Villanova College in
the United States, said:
II shall run in the 800-meter
and if l feel good, I also shall
run in the l.500-meter."

ing il the 25-year-old Irishmar
will decide at the last minute
to skip the $500.
He will have to run six races
on six consecutive days if he
decides to take part in both
events-and reaches the finals
in both.
Delany doubts his fitness for
such a program.
A back injury and then an
Achilles tendon injury inter-
rupted his training this year
He's been working out in Dub
lin for the last six weeks and
neither injury has troubled
him.
But he's been playing it safe

| Delany thinks the men to
beat in the 800-meter are ia

Jerry Siebert, 1:46.8.
| "Siebert is the best of the
Americans" Delany said of the
University of California senior
who finished second to Kerr in
the NCAA championships.
! When informed of Delany'S
800-meter ambitions, Siebert
said, That's bad news. That

Delany won the 1856 Mel
bourne 1900 in a record 3:4l.2
with tremendous burst of
speed over the last 300 meters
"a style of running which is
his trademark.
He won the American collie
giate $500 title IN 1856 and the
mile championships in 1857 and
1858 while competing for Villa
nova.
He attempted two doubles in
those meets. In 1858 he won
both the mile and $50, and it
took a l:47,2 half mile by Don
Bowden to prevent him from
winning both in 1857.

The 16 teams in the tourna-

groups. with the top teams at
Melbourne seeded into each of
the groups. Two teams from
each group advance to a semi
final round of eight teams.
Then four more go into the

been using the international
ball, which resembles a soccer
ball in construction, for almost
a month.
1T doesn't dribble as we'll as
ours, but it's even easier to
dunk" he said.
The American team also has
been working to learn the pc
culiarities of European referee

The officials don't really
handle the ball over here, and
that means that we're caught
unawares sometimes when the
opposing team puts the ball
back into play quickly" Newell
said.
They give no special hand
signals either when a foul is
committed, and sometimes we
commit the same foul three or
four times in a row before we
