German Splinter ReIents

ed by criticism after he had snub-
bed former Olympic champion
Jesse Owens during the first week
of the games here, ArInin Harry,
who broke Owens Olympic record
in the 100 meter run, relented three
days later and went to visit the
American hero of the 1886 games.
Armin had snubbed Owens after
the latter sought an interview with
him through a German newspap-
erman. Harry, at the time, said he
was too busy to fool with Owens.
He was later severely criticized
for the statement.
His visit later with Owens at
the American sector of the Olym-
pic village was described as a
gesture to make peace with Jesse.
It was also disclosed that Harry
was smarting from the rounds Of
criticisms. Gerhard Stock, chief
of the German team, said of Harry:
I'VE thought Harry should go to
see Owens. The incident had given
the boy a black eye.
He is a strange boy sometimes.
He can be difficult. When Owens
asked to meet him, Harry was busy
and said so. I don't think he intend
ed to be rude"
Owens had sought to interview

newspaper, for which he was COW

career ana Nagurski has always
been greatful to Wally for it.
Wrestling today is enjoying its
healthiest year Nearly 5000 fans
the other week at the Auditorium.
Many promoters throughout the
country are asking does he
do it and giving more credit to
the promoter than to the wrest-
lers.
Karbo is feet inchs tall, bald
ing, brown eyes and weighs 1876
pounds.
Is married to the attactive Viola
and has two children: Steve, IA
and Mary Ann, IL.
He argues, and vehemently, for
what he believes in. He doesn't
hold grudges.
He is not a handy-man around
the-house type. ('1'm strictly I'M
skilled IabOr.O He hates to go
shopping, for anything. He likes
the refrigerator to be bursting
with food ('1 remember when 1
was a kid how often the icebOx
was empty, without even ice.")
He has a good appetite and will
eat anything. He has a particular
fondness for Italian dishes: spag-
hetti, pizza and lasagna. His drink
ing is done usually only while talk
ing business, although and Viola
enjoy wine with a meal.
Karbo is proud of the fact that
wrestling was the only sport that
has supported the Minneapolis
Auditorium during the lean years.
And today wrestling is still the
main support for the Auditorium.
Saturday mites he also promotes
wrestling shows in St. Paul with
Eddie Williams.
st. Paul, which for the past so
years was known to be one of the
leading boxing centers is now sec
ond to Minneapolis as a wrestling
center.
On the national bases Karbo is
regarded as one of the five leading
promoters-with his success shows.
Wrestling is not like boxing. The
grapplers work on the honor sys-
tenn. The promoters word is his
bond. And have yet to know of
a wrestler who had to postpone a
match because of a cold.
Karbo's hobby is fishing and
hunting and many times a year he
goes to Canada for the game.
Is proud of the fact that he in
duced such college athletes to en-
ter the wrestling game: Vern
Gagne, Cliff Gustafson, Bill Kuusis,
to, Butch Levy, Joe Pazandak and
Leo Nomellini. Many promoters
are following Karbo's idea of get
ting football players to try a hand
at wrestling.
It was Karbo who seven years
ago urged Hard Boiled" Haggerty
to quit his job in Las Vegas (he
worked as an officer at one of the
hotels to turn to wrestling.
He thinks peasant blouses belong
to the peasants.
Making money hasn't and never
will change Karbo. He's the same
nice person that knew more than
20 years ago.
Promoters and friends are happy
too, of his success-since they all
remember when.

HEAVY EATERS, THOSE
OLYMPIC ATHLETES

Rome, Italy (ANP) - An Amer
lean spectator at the recent Olyn-
pics asked an official: who were
the biggest eaters at the Olympic
Village ?" The official informed
him that the eating champs were
the $50 athletes from the Far East
who patronized restaurant No. 10.
And here's what they put away
every day: 5000 eggs, 1000
servings of ice cream; 400 pounds
of watermelon, $50 chickens; 500
pounds of beef; 12O pounds of rice
and 400 pounds each of grapes,
bananas, peaches and cantaloupes.
And they washed all this down
with 5000 bottles of an American
soft drink.

alton should be proud Of their ac-
complishments.
Tan athletes had a big hand in
keeping the United States in the
race for gold medals. Fine perform
ances by Wilma Rudolph, Rafer
johnson, Lee Calhoun, Willie May,
Hayes johnson, Otis Davis, Ralph
Boston, Irv. Robertson; and Les
Carney in track and field; by o.
car Robertson, Walt Bellamy and
Bob Boozer, in basketball, and
Wilbert Mcclure, Eddie Crook and
Cassius Clay in boxing, all were
of the highest order.
But even in defeat Thomas and
Ray Norton, two really superb
athletes, gave their ultimate. It
just wasn't their day when the
chips were down.
Thomas, the 19-year-old Boston
university star, summed up what
we think was the attitude for all
Americans in the moments of de-
feat:
Il don't have any ahbis," he
said. II was beaten fair and
square"
Then the young athlete added:
Il was not disappointed. I won
bronze medal"
1t is a feat for an athlete even
to win a bronze medal in Olympic
competition.
johnson, Davis Victorious
Johnson, the greatest al-around
athlete in the world, had to put
out his utmost to win the decathlon
from his friend and school mate,
c. K. Yang, representing For
mosa.
The rugged Californian scored
1882 points to 1894 for Yang,
whom he helped train at UCLA.
Rafer had to put up a supreme eff
fort in the 1900 meters, the final
event of the two-day grueling
competition, to assure himself VIC
tory.
On the same day, Davis, a 2S-
year-old Los Angeles resident, bet
tered the world mark by running
the 400 meters in 44.9 seconds. He
breasted the tape ahead of a Ger
man rival, George Kaufman, in
smashing the record of 45.2 set in
Melbourne four years ago by Lou
Jones, another tan runner, formerly
of Manhattan College.
Tennessee State TgerbelI Wins
Plaudits
All Americans were proud of the
achievements of Miss Rudolph,
Tennessee State student. She won
the 100 and 200-yard meters and
then achieved her third gold medal
when she anchored the women's
400-meter relay team to a triumph.
This young woman's success is
most remarkable because she was
an early-life polio victim and could
mt walk, much less run, until she
was eight.
One of the really fine achieve
ments of the 18th Olympic Games
was the eclipsing of Jesse Owens
24-year-old record in the broad
jump. 1t was beaten not once but
twice. The winner was Boston,
from Laurel, Miss, and another
Tennessee state product, who jump
ed 26 feet and TX inches. Rob
erson leaped 26 and 1873 inches
on his final try. Owens mark, set
in Berlin in 1886, was 26 and A.
5/16.
Owens was in the stands at
Rome. It must have taken a tug
at his heart.
Calhoun Scores End Olympic Win
Calhoun became a two-time win
ner of the 110-meter high hurdles
by beating teammates May and
Jones. The 26-year-old Gary athlete
won in Melbourne in 1856.
