With Der Fuehrer stroking his moustache in the royal box, 100,000 Teutons sitting in the stands, and brocaded swastikas flying in the breeze, Old Man Nordic . supremacy took an awful kicking around on the first day of competition in the Olympic games. When dusk fell over Reichsport-field, the old fellow's crisp blond curls were down over his ears, his bright blue eyes were ready for a healing beefsteak, and his peaches-and-cream complexion was leoparded with bruises. The most damaging clubs to bounce off Brother Nordic's noggin were wielded by a pair of American boys, Jesse Owens and Cornelius Johnson, neither of. whom is of pure Viking stock.

Blerman's total was 588,447 points. Layden had 544,465.
