British Claim Credit
For OIympics Revival

LONDON, July 80 (AP).-
The history books say the
Olympic Games, which origi-
mated in Greece before the
time Of Christ, were reborn in
Athens in 1895 and will have
their 18th renewal in Rome
next month.
The British knew better.
The first modern Olympics.
say the British, came out of
the head of a young English
man, Robert Dover. They were
first held in 1904 on a hill
close to the market town of
Chipping Camden in 'Glou-
cestershire. They endured -
despite wars and pestilence--
for more than $50 years.
Dover, son Of a Norfolk gen.
tleman, was just 29 when he
succeeded in winning the ap-
proval Of King James ] for q
modern series to be known as
the "Olympick Games"
The king granted the young
man a license to choose a site
for his project. The sportsman
picked a little hill which still
is known as Dover'S Hill.
There Dover erected a full
scale model of an ancient cas-
tie, built of wood and revolving
on a pivot.
| The first "Olympics' did not
lack for color and fanfare.
Dover inaugurated the games
by riding out of the mock cas-.
tie in some castoff royal robes
and astride a prancing white
horse while guns roarcd a ss.
lutte from the ramparts.
All the young bucks from
miles around assembled at the

Olympic Games at Rome.
DR.. Hart says the team has
not matured enough to be a
serious contender at Rome.
Their performances are sub
par. according to our stand

making rapid progress. This
year the women have broken
eight Ghana national records,
while the men have broken l3.
By 1864. Ghana will be a real

sprints."
Following the action in Trip

Threaten U. S. Supremacy
In Armin Harry, who has done
a world record 10 seconds fiat in
the 100 meters, and Manfred
German. the Germans have a
threat to Americas longtime
sprint supremacy. Martin
Lauer set the world record for
the 110-meter hurdles last year
with 1872. A fral Wolfsburg
doctor, DR.. Manfred Steinbach,
broad jumped farther than any
man in history (26 feet, 8.63
inches) a week ago only to have
the feat nullifled due to wind
conditions.
Carl Kaufman, 24-year-old
athletic teacher, has done the
400 meters in ASA, just two
tenths of a second off the world
mark Of Americas Lou Jones.
These are all West Germans.
Like the Russians, the East
Germans pose threats in the
longer distances and in the
women's divisions.
Siegred Valentin recently bet
tered the world record for 1000
meters with 2:16.7 and poses a
threat for either the 800 or
$500 meters. Hans Grodotzki
has the years best time for
5000 meters-l3:49.2. And an
East German girl, Gisela Birk-
meyer, with a world record los
in the 80 meter hurdles, could
become the star of the dasheS

BERLIN, July 80 (AP). -
Germany. awkwardly split by
Cold War enmities, is attempt
ing to recspture her lost sports
glorieS while squirming on g
powder keg.
The team of athletes being
sent to Rome next month for
the 18th modern Olympic
Games is the most powerful
to assemble under the Black,
Gold and Red tricolor since
the goose-stepping days OF
Adolf Hitler in 1886.
Yet it is a team ripped by
distrust. suspicion and even
hate. It's strong limbs may be
frozen into ineffectiveness by
the Cold War.
IF we had one team with
a single purpose and the esprit
de corps of other nations, we
might challenge the United
States and Russia for the big
share Of gold medals" said
Wilhelm Pollmans, technical
organizer Of the West German
team. But I fear our cause
under these abnormal circum-
stances, is utterly hopeless"
Many Differences
The International Olympic
Committee has ruled that
Germany must go into the
Olympics as one team, but
such a directive failed to erase
the bitterness that exists be-
tween the camps of the Com
'munist East and the Demo
cratic West.
I'VE may speak one language
and compete under one flag
said Pollmans. whose position
with the West German team
is similar to that of Dan Ferris
Of the United States AAU, "but
there Is no way to make Us
one team.
I'VE have different ideolo-
gies. We have different train
ing methods. We have a 6if-
ferent approach to sports. We
will be two camps competing
as one-and looking ever oul
shoulders at each other.
Having chosen squads in
separate eliminations, the East
and West Germans compete
in the alderman tryouts Au-
gust 6-7 for places on the
squad to be assigned to Rome
Part OF the competition will be
held in Hanover, West Ger.

Germany.

Test: Don't Guess

In order to select the right crop
to plant in a field and to apply the
most efficient amount of fertilizer
to that crop, farmer has to have
more information than his memory
can provide.
A good assistant to your memory
is available, free from William H.
Henderson, or your local fertilizer
dealer. 1t is a field record book.
Many of the leading farmers in
the county are very enthusiastic
about the record book" Mr.. Hender-
son says. s'It takes very little time
and it can provide information that
can make you money over the
years. And it's free"
By keeping track of the crops and
fertilizer that goes on field you
can figure the future pretty closely
when you plan the next crop. Also.
soil testers at the University of
Delaware can give more accurate
recommendation if they have a
good field history to help them.
The record book has a page for
each field and blanks for planting
date, soil test results, lime, fertil-
izer, manure, and pesticides used,
yield, and place for weather notes,
prices, etc.
ut is a simple and easy form that
can make a lot of difference in a
tight year." Mr.. Henderson says.
''The record book can help you
look back and tell what field did
for you under certain conditions in
the past and help you to predict
more closely what you can expect
from the field"
Most fertilizer dealers have
them and you can get them at my
office" Mr.. Henderson said.
The book also has all the recent
recommendation on fertilizer, crop
varieties, pesticides, etc., from the
Agronomy Department at the Uni
versity of Delaware.

From the production OF

Farmers benefit a second

crease in dairy and poultry
yields.
Brewing is also an impor-
