stiff examination requiring
knowledge in topics ranging
from doctoring horses to breed

Russians Seized Horses
The baron won his first race
in 1914 in Vienna. At that time
his family, which dates to the
18th century, operated breed
ing farm at Oberweiden on the
Czechoslovakian border. But
the Russians were making
trouble at the time in the area.
The baron and his mother took
the four best horses and fled.
The Russians seized what re-

I At present he is the second
ranked trainer in Austria in
the number Of victories. He
trains 25 horses. nine of which
he owns and races.

Little Nations
Gladly Tackle
Olympic Odds

ROME, July 80 (APJ.-To
some of the tiny nations, a
Bronze Medal for third place
in the Olympics will bring
more JOY than 80 or 40 Gold
Medals probably would to the
powerful United States and
Soviet squads.
For some of the athletes of
a handful Of little countries,
just getting to Rome for the
greatest sports show on earth
will be a great feat in itself.
Some of these stout-hearted
athletes never have had a
coach look them over. Some
never have seen modern, reg
ulation equipment.
Would you think of getting
coaching advice by mail?
Sportsmen of at least two
states-Ceylon and Haiti
have done just so. Others have
set up their Olympic squads
under equally remote and
sometimes primitive conditions
In Afghanistan. the murders
have been tuning up over wood
en- crates set along dusty cara
van trails.
No Tracks in Fiji
In Fiji. there is no such thinl
as a cinder track. Olympic
hopefuls run on rough gras
strips, often waterlogged b!
tropical storms.
Yet the little countries will
proudly raise their nationa
flags among the 81 being hoist
ed for the 18th Olympic Game
opening here August Is. Thi
is a record number of compel
ing nations, and most Of tn
newcomers have few training
facilities.
Ceylon's biggest hope for
medal is an army corporal VIII,

ESQ TO Begin
Olympic Swim
Tests Tuesday
THE SUNDAY STAR
Washington, D. c.
July 81, 1860

DETROIT, July 80 (AP).-I
The finest swimmers and divers
in the land will compete here
next week, and to the best go
positions on the United States
Olympic team.
Some $50 athletes will COM
pete in the final tryouts at
Brennan Pools in Rouge Park
Tuesday through Friday. Forty
two will carry the hopes Of the
United States in the Olympic
Games in Rome later this
summer.
The surprise smashing Of six
world records in the National
AAU mems meet at Toledo last
week end provided the United
States with a much-needed
shot-in-the-arm. Top-ranking
Olympic officials, who figured
months ago that our chances Of
winning team honors were next
to nothing, now are confident
Of a fine showing at Rome.
Its amazing how much we
have progressed" said Gus
Stager, the University of Michi-
gan coach who is coaching the
Olympic swimmers for the first
time. I'VE know. of course. that
swimmers in other countries
have advanced rapidly. But
there's no question that we
have more confidence now and
that, in itself, is a great factor
in our favor"
Nine Try to Repeat
Nine swimmers and divers
who won second or third-place
medals in the 1856 Olympic
games at Melbourne will be
seeking positions on the 1860
team. Divers Juno Stover
Irwin and Paula Jean Meyers
Pope actually are bidding for
a third straight Olympic berth.
Others are George Breen Of
indianapolis, who was third at
Melbourne in the 400-meter
freestyle and the 1,500-meter
freestyle: Frank Mckinney OF
Indianapolis, third in the 100
meter backstroke; Don Harper,
former Ohio State diver, sec
ond in three-meter spring.
board: Gary Tobian of Los Ar
geleS, second in the 10-meter
platform diving; Sylvia Ruuska
Of Berkeley, Calf, third in
women's 400-meter freestyle;
Nancy Ramey of Seattle, sec
ond in 100-meter butterfly, and
Carin Cone Of Houston, second
in 100-meter backstroke.
Breen Far Under Mark
Breen won the 1,500-meter
freeStyle at the AAU meet and
his time of 17:33.5 was more
than 19 seconds better than
his own Olympic record. Nc
Kinney did not win the 100
meter backStroke at Toledo, the
event going instead to young
Tom Stock of Bloomington,
Ill, who turned in a record
American time. Tobian won
the AAU platform diving
crown.
In addition to the six world
records-in the 400-meter in
dividual medley, the 100-meter
and 200-meter butterfly, 800
meter freestyle relay, 2O0-meter
backstroke and the 400-meter
medley relay-the AAU SWIM
mers broke American and meet
standards in every event.
Its a lot to expect more
records in Detroit" Stager
said, but the pool is better
and facilities will lend them
selves to outstanding perform
ances. And another thing
we'll be shooting the works
