Any way they are'high jump, pole vault or broad tdded up. the conclusions are the same: We are strong where we knew we were strong. We are weak where we knew weakness existed, and we don't seem able to do much about it. Of course, one meet, even a meet of the size of the 22-nation Pan-American Games, is not all- Indicative by iny A better perspective may be available, for example, after the Russians conclude their 1935 summer sports For that matter, our own National AAU outdoor championships wilt furnish a better idea of our over-all strength than did the skeleton 33-men squad we sent to the track and field segment of the Pan-American contests. Many of our top athletes remained behind Jtt college or on Jobs, either through choice or because of an Inadequate opportunity to try to qualify for the team.

More of them wfll be in evidence this June for the outdoor cbanipion- shjps at Boulder, Colo. Even without necessarily putting Its best foot forward, tr.

Times in all the NCAA Holds Big CMcago Meeting I A (INS) The National Collegiate Athletic a -three-day meeting in with two powerful groups concentrating on reports of the 1954 and 4955 football television programs. The executive committee of tfie NCAA will handle financial and administrative details and the council, tie governing agency, will hear reports on eligibility problems, rules infractions and other subjects.

appears well-fortified. too, in the decathlon. Hafer Johnson, only a freshman at UCLA. and the Rev. Bob Richards, better known for nis pole a i achievements, finished 1-2.

Another pretty fair decathlon man, 1952 Olympic runner-up Milt Campbell, stayed behind at the University of Indiana. So much for the credit side. The American winner, Bob Back- ui, did not come within 30 feet of the Russian-held world record in the hammer throw. The best the U. S.

could do in the hop, and jump was sixth place, although Brazil's Olympic king, Adhemar Ferrerira He expunged the world record claimed by Russia's Leonid Scherbakov. And, oh, those distance runs!

But ID the four endurance a lid 10.000 meters, meter steeplechase and marathon --the Stars and Stripes picked up ocly eight points, a second by Horace Ashenfelter and a fourth by Gordon McKenrie, both in the 5,000.

Put it down that the times tn all these' events were far, far off Olympic standards. Put It down, too. it is here that the Russians, spearheaded by the Lithuanian sailor, Vladimar Kuts, are very stronj, indeed. The question obviously Is whether the U. can harvest enough points in the other events to afford a virtual blanking in the long runs Of course, Kussia won't take it all where the TT.

S. is weak. Men like De. Silva in the hop. step and jump: Britain's Chris Chataway, Australia's John Stephens and Czechoslovakia's aging but ageless Emil Zatopek in the Ion? runs will figure high In the polot- aarvesting.

Why doesn't the U. S. produce distance runners? Apparently, it is inherent in a standard of living that Aakes it easier to ride automobiles than to walk or run and offers television as an enticement away from dedicated train- ins for the marathon. hard fact is thaf. even if Uncle Sam suddVily discovered some distance-running hopefuls, it would be too 3ate to help him in the '56 Games.
