JULY 10, PART VI-a. SUNDAY MORNING. Olympiad Certain to Be Greatest in History; Opening Less Than Three Weeks Away FOREIGN HORSES PRANCE NEW ZEALAND MISS MAY STAR Thelma Kench Lone Entrant in Women's Events AT RIVIERA FIELD TODAY Olympic Equestrian Squads of Four Nations Go on JAPANESE HEAD MAMMOTH LIST OF FOREIGN STARS Nippon Anxious to Stage Renewal of World-Wide Event in 1940; Yank Success Threatened by ralph huston Less tthan three weeks remain before the opening ceremonies Parade Before Poloisls Perform BY FRANK ROCHE All the King's Horses and all the King's men, Including some from Sweden. Japan, Holland and France, will go on parade this afternoon at TOUCHED OFF TODAY BY BRAVEN DYER Approximately 2000 athletes will Invade Los Angeles for the Olympic Games. I am willing to go on record with the statement that none of these men will prove more interesting than Sylvio Cator, star broad Jump- the Riviera Country Club.

The occasion la a preview of the equestrian coming Olympic Games classic. games of the Tenth Olym cial world's record, second to Edjj Hamm of the Amsterdam, Cator has set his heart on winning the world's championship In this his third and final Olympic Games. You have read about Cator. He I I 'I i Jf speaks three English and correspondent -W7 Press. He speaks with the soft voice of a southern gentleman.

last week I wrote a piece about him in The Times. Yesterday I SYLVI CATOCL again at the Olympic Village. "How do you I was Junt about to mail you a letter. Now that I have the pleasure of seeing you personally, I shall give it to you Instead." In the envelope was Cator's personal card. On It was this message: "Sylvio P.

Cator begs to thank Mr. Braven Dyer of the Los Angeles Times for his fine article of yesterday." Practically the only time we scribes ever hear from an American athlete or coach Is when exception is taken to what we have written. The Gentleman from Japan Chuhel Nambu, who has broken Cator's record with a Jump of 26ft. which will probably be recognized as the new world's record this summer, arrived yesterday. His first act upon reaching the Olympic Village was to hunt up Cator's cottage and pay his respects to Sylvio.

"Nambu says he's in fine shape and that his best Jump this season was declared Cator after the visit. "But he says Oda, hop-step and Jump champion, has an Injured leg." Thanks to Dr. Rough If Cator, also bothered by a pulled muscle, does well In the Olympics he can thank Dr. Robert Rough, local physician. This eminent medico, who has put scores of athletes back in shape when they were given up as a bad Job, Is treating Syl-vlo's limb.

"I think be will be all right," said Dr. Rough yesterday. "The pulled muscle in Cator's take-off leg will respond to treatment and practice. He Is an ideal patient because he is smart enough to follow instructions." This last was a back-hand slap at most of our track athletes who ask some doctor to fix them up and then go out and do anything they please. From experience I can say that those who follow Dr.

Rough's instructions will be the better there for. Don't Worry About Brix Cease worrying about Herman Brix. Just because Big Herman hasn't been fracturing world records every time he has thrown the shot, a lot of people figure he has lost his punch. This despite the fact that when It came down to the final test, Herm has never failed to kick through with a mighty heave. He has won the national championship FOUR straight years.

O'rhtrdt Willie Orltt Eric Pdlff 3 Jwli Brown Morun Floveri Back Barry Wllion BATTLE LOOMS OVER JSASTMAN (Continued from First Page) Brundage, president of the American Olympic Committee, in effect opposing the idea of exemption of Ben Eastman of Stanford in the 800-meter run of the final tryouts here resulted today in huge silence from Lawson Robertson, head coach of the American team, and a sharp reply from Bill Ellington, assistant Stanford coach.

Robertson, who last week was reported to be in favor of drafting Eastman for an 800-meter entry on the team and requiring him only to try out In the 400 meters, said today he did not care to comment on the case. He said he did not desire "to be drawn into any Assistant Coach Ellington declared if "Eastman was not exempted from the 800-meter trials" he would compete "only in the 400 meters." R. L. (Dink) Templeton, head coach at Stanford, was not feeling well enough to discuss the case immediately. Earlier, however, Templeton said unless Eastman was se lected for the 800-meter race without trial he would only try out for the team In the 400-meter event.

COACH'S SUGGESTION MAY CARRY WEIGHT SAN FRANCISCO, July 9. (T-Whlle opposed to the principal of exempting athletes from the final Olympic tryouts, Sam Goodman, member of the American Olympic track-and-field committee, said today it would be an entirely different matter if such a recommendation came from the head coacb, Lawson Robertson. Goodman's statement followed one by Avery Brundage. president of the Olympic Committee, in which the latter indicated he expected strong opposition to the suggestion that Ben Eastman of Stanford be exempted from the 800-meter run trials and be required to try only for the 400 meters. "Our committee went on record a year ago as being opposed to exempting any athlete from any trial" Goodman said.

"I will oppose such a suggestion If it comes from another committee member. "But it must be remembered we have a head coach for the Olympic team upon whose shoulders rests much of the responsibility for the! United states' showing. Mr. Robertson is the head coach. He has been selected because we think he knows his business.

If Robertson thinks it would, be to the advantage of our team to automatically qualify Eastman for the 800 meters I feel certain his recommendation will go a long way with the committee members." vLl tit i I I I I V' V.f 'm I K'-4 If 1 tiiik, jfafiat i it ifciiiiifi if i tt Husky Young Lady Expected to Shine in Sprint Trains at Night for Races After Day of Work BY MURIEL BABCOCK A husky 140-pound young woman of 18 summers, with legs like steel springs and a square, granite-like Jaw', is New Xieaisnns vuj mm contribution to tr the women's even i oi uic Olympic Games. She la Thel- ma Kench. Her ISJCJ father la a carpenter In Wellington, Z. Thelma, oldest 1 1 of five children. works in a ladles ready-to-wear shop by day.

By night, Instead of l3hs. THtLMA ktNCH going to the movies or to dances, she practices her running. SPRINT QUEEN She Is a champion sprinter, New Zealand's big white hope In the 100-meter sprint event for women and its sole chance of capturing any attention at all in feminine competition. It a Jaw is any indication of character, Thelma will fight hard to win that race. She doesn't look as If she ever let anything stop her, once she made up her mind.

Five feet, six Inches tall, square and stocklly powerful of build, particularly around the hips, she will nevtr win any medals in a Venus de Mtlo competition. But, I'll wager she could pack a powerful sock to the left If she felt In the mood. She lacks the quiet poise that characterizes Eileen Wearne, her Australian competitor In the 100-yard dash. She Is more nervous, high strung, and probably more self -willed. How did she turn into a lady runner? Well, all New Zealand schools have track events for girls as well as boys.

Thelma won a race when 13 years of age. She liked the thrill of it. She decided she would become a champion and become a champion she did. First she won the championship of her school, then she set about acquiring titles through the city of Wellington and New Zealand. ALMOST MISSED Easily the best woman runner in her country, she almost didn't get to make the trip to America.

When the Olympic team was chosen, her name was not on the list. It seems that the committee had decided to send no women at all. When this became known, all Wellington, that Is all track-conscious Wellington, broke into an uproar. A campaign was started to raise funds to send Thelma across the seas. The money was raised and here she Is.

She is living, as will all the girl athletes when they get to town, at the Chapman Park Hotel on Alexandria street. Her chaperone is Mrs. Theodore W. Leslie, wife of the official starter for the Wellington team. INDIA'S TEAM HITSVILLAGE (Continued f'om First Page) cause they didn't get the Olympic Games." "Yes, but there's also a depression In India," chimed in Chand.

"What countries do you regard as your most formidable opponents this summer?" "It's hard to say," replied Pen- ninger, "for right now we don't even know what nations are entered. But if Holland is here they will be fine competition, They gave us our hardest games at Amsterdam. Holland eliminated Germany and Germany had a strong team." How come Holland was so good?" MUMBY EXPLAINS Here the two players became rather reticent but Ted Mumby, who is here from India coaching the three track-and-field men, volunteered a bit of Information. "India's team was In Holland six weeks before the Olympics. The boys played about ten games and during their spare time showed the Dutch some of the finer points of the sport That's why Holland did so well." 'Is hockey rough like football?" "No.

there is supposed to be no bodily contact," replied Penninger. "It is stick to stick and not body to body. Your game of basketball, with its fouls for personal contact. is ruled on much the same princi ple." The average age of India's play ers is 23 years. Allen, 31, is the eldest and R.

J. Carr, 21. the youngest. Carr, Incidentally, is a good sprinter and his arrival means that Mumby will probably put a sprint relay team in the Olympics. S.

The Japanese team, led by MaJ.

Kido, will run through a performance of Jumping which will give local horse fans an eyeful of Olympic Games equestrian stunts. While the Jumps will not be the official kind such as those used during the Olympics they will give the fans an idea what to expect along those lines. Col. Yusa, manager of the Japanese team, has promised to send Irish Boy, Dancing Dinah, Kyn Gun and Fuko, among others, Into action over the Jumps. Lieutenant Baron Nishl, star rider of the Jap team, will take Irish Boy over the hurdles.

It should be very thrilling. The Swedish horses, ten in number, will be reviewed along with those from Holland and France. They will not do any Jumping. Snowy Baker, Riviera manager, has arranged to have the officers of the various nations seated in special boxes as guests for the polo contest. Riviera uncorks big guns against the crack Wildcats from Tucson in the polo festure.

"Vic" Smith, the Arlzonans' fourth horseman, arrived in town this week and for the first time during their current series, the college champions will have their complete and original line-up. As teamwork Is the main cog of their attack, Smith's presence In today's clash will enable the campus quartet to function in the fast fashion that has won them national recognition. Eric Pedley rides his last game today before leaving next week for the Meadowbrook tournaments. He will team up with Tommy Hitchcock, Edwin Lehman and Lin Howard In the open. Capt Gerhardt, an army star, makes his bow here with the Riviera four.

Picking the best track-and-field team possible to represent the United States in the Olympic Games is the big point at issue. The Stanford track will accommodate eight men in the races.

There are now fifteen men eligible for each event. If" the AA.U. "extras" are let In this will mean added heats and another hardship for what may prove to be an overworked American team.

meet. In the days of Fred (King) Kelly, the Southern California hero of twenty years ago, the spread-eagle style arms afloat was In vogue. Kehy won a first In the 1912 Games at Stockholm. Gradually, the arms were pulled down, and with this movement a leg snap was evolved. Baling is the last word in arm movement.

His hands cross in front of his face as he clears a hurdle and snap downward as if he was brushing flies. This pulls the rear leg over and down In a hur-try. IN THE DISCARD SHORT, stfccky hurdlers used to be acceptable to coaches. They are passe now. The emphasis Is on the tall, well-split boys.

Sallng, for example, is 6ft lHln. tall and weighs 152 pounds. Keller, his chief rival in the Mid west, is two Inches taller and only slightly heavier. "Red" Record of Harvard, who Won the high hurdles in the I.C.4-A. meet, is the least of Sallng's, worries in the Pilar Alto meet.

He should be. Record is a but his form is bad by comparison to that of Sallng's. Record is also shorter, drags his rear leg, and packs a little too much weight.

Flags of Argentina, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India, the Philippines, Holland, Uruguay, Colombia, Switzerland and -Germany now fly over the Olympic Village. Additional teams ranging from one lone entrant to groups of 100 and more are on their, way. JAPAN LEADS Japan heads the foreign entry list, and with good cause.

Not only has the Land of the Rising Sun a great chance to capture major honors In the world-wide Games, but also, the Nipponese are anxious to obtain permission to stage the Olympics of 1940. The Games of 1938 already are slated for Berlin, as they were In 1910, and Japan and Italy are both anxious to stage the following sports carnival. The last of the Japanese forces arrived yesterday, bringing the total representation, including athletes, officials, trainers and the like, to 302. Italy is sending 120 delegates, Prance about 100, Germany the same, Brazil eighty-eight, Great Britain seventy or more, Finland almost fifty, Mexico fifty and other nations are contributing smaller teams. The efficient Organizing Committee, headed by Zack Farmer, Bill Henry, Gwyn Wilson, Jack McKen-zie and H.

O. Davis, has prepared every detail to the most minute degree. During the sixteen days from July 30 to August 14, 135 different programs of competition will be held on mornings, after-noons and evenings In the nine different stadiums, auditoriums and water courses. Track-and-field competition heads the program, which also includes swimming, rowing, equestrian events, weight lifting, fencing, wrestling, field hockey, cycling, the modern pentathlon, yachting, gymnastics, boxing, shooting and demonstrations of lacrosse and American, football. The great American track-and-field team, which has never been beaten in Olympic competition, as far as the unofficial point scores show, faces a tremendous task this year.

Germany, Japan, Finland, Great Britain, France, Argentina, Australia, Oreece, Hungary, Italy, Mexico and Ireland have sent representatives In almost every event on the track-and-field program. Germany has great sprinters, good middle-distance runners and fine weight men. Japan has near-champions In the broad jump, hop-step-and-Jump, high Jump, with able performers In the and a fine crew In the Marathon. NURMI TO REN Finland, headed by peerless Faavo Nurml, Is expected to dominate the field again in everything from the 8000-meter steeplechase up to and including the Marathon. In addition, the Finns have fine field men.

Most of the other nations have individual stars In some events, but not the all-around strength that these countries possess. Secondary interest probably will lie between swimming, rowing and the equestrian sports. In swimming again, the numerous American stars will be faced by strong contenders from Japan and Germany. Each of these nations possesses many outstanding luminaries, and although the United States has dominated the aquatlo events In the past with "its Rosses, and Kahanamokus, and Weissmullers, this year may prove different. Australia also boasts a powerful aquatlo squad, headed by ''Boy" Charleton.

who will tangle with Buster Crabbe of this country, and Arne Borg of Sweden In the longer races. Rowing, at the outset, appeared doomed to be one of the "dud" sports of the Games. Few nations, it appeared, were willing' to transport the rowers and their shells. Suddenly Interest and new-about a' dcten different flags will fly ever i the magnificent rowing course at Long Beach. The eight-oared event, won by United States in the last three Olympics through the sensational performances of California, Yale and Navy, not only climaxes rowing events, but the Oames themselves: On August 13, the day before the closing ceremony, approximate ly 100,000 people are expected to throng the stadium at Long Beach to see the final struggle for this blue-ribbon rowing Ten nations will have elght-oared crews.

Great Britain, New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Canada have challenged American supremacy In this event. Each heat of two boats should be a thriller beyond measure. It Is Interesting to note that eight of the nine visiting nations are shipping their shells by boat, proving that the great distance to the Oames has discouraged the ouUtandiEg eampetltor. Second in interest to the eight-eared event is the singles sculls, ribbjj Pearee, of Australia, general- fly recognized as the greatest sculler of all time, either amateur or professional, will defend the title he won at Amsterdam In 1928. His strongest competitor Is expected to be Guillermo Douglas, the lone Olympic entrant from Uruguay.

Switzerland has enjoyed great success in the other rowing events, as has Belgium, and these two nations are expected to lead the battle for honors In the other races. Great Interest is being evidenced In the equestrian events, In which local fans will see not only the greatest riders, but also the greatest horses In the world. Sweden and Holland, the only nations ever to win the equestrian events since they were inaugurated in the Games of 1912, have sent the same men and horses that have won honors for them in the past. Other nations in this event are the United States, Japan, France, Denmark and Mexico. Each of these nations Is considered as having a fine chance to win.

Japan in particular has been pointing for these honors for years. Competitors In the equestrian events are always army officers, and Japan is said to hjtve some of the world's finest horsemen. Mexico also has taken up military riding with great enthusiasm, and although the entry of this nation was a surprise, experts agree that the representatives of the neighboring republic will give a good account of themselves. Boxing and wrestling events, two types of the latter, will be staged at the Olympic Auditorium. Italy, 1928 boxing champion, Is sending another crack aggregation, as la Argentina, which made a strong showing at Amsterdam.

Japan has crack mitt wilders entered up to and including the welterweight division. The Japanese couldn't find any men big enough to enter the higher classes. Other entrants are France, Great Britain, Germany, Greece, Ireland, the Philippines, South Africa, and the United States also will compete In this event. America, which has dominated the free -style wrestling, as the North European nations have consistently taken honors in the Greco-Roman style, will find Itself pressed hard this year. Europeans have taken up the free style in late years and should give the United States exceptional competition.

Eighteen nations are entered In the wrestling, headed by Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States. NOVEL DEMONSTRATION The gymnastic competition promises to be of an unusually high order. In addition to the regular schedule of events, a mammoth demonstration Is planned, with local residents of five foreign nations taking part. Each nation will be represented by 200 gymnasts, making a total of 1000 who will be In action In the special demonstration. All of the other sports have drawn equally representative entries, Insuring high-class competlon for honors.

British India, which won the field hockey title In 1928, is defending its crown. Great Britain, Canada and the United States will meet in the three-game demonstration of lacrosse. In 1928 this was a competitive sport, and these three nations tied, Southern Calif orniana who have never seen this sport will witness the greatest teams in the world in action. The American football demonstration Is expected to pack the huge Olympie Stadium to capacity. Representatives of Yale, Harvard and Princeton will play a team composed of players from Southern California, Stanford and California.

Nine nations which had teams at Amsterdam will not be represented here, but to offset this, eight nations which were not at Amsterdam will have teams here, the personnel totaling more than the other nine sent to the 1928 Games. Bulgaria, Chile, Egypt, Lithuania, Malta, Panama, Rhodesia, Turkey and Jugoslavia will not be seen here, but Brazil, China, Colombia, Salvador, Peru, Venezuela, Guatemala and Costa Rica will send representatives. NURMI CASE VERDICT DUE (Continued from First Page) that the evidence of alleged professionalism was too strong to be overlooked. "Finland has already asked how the American delegation will vote en the Nurml caie," Avery Brun-dage, president of the American Olympic told the Associated Press. "Our answer is that we do not know.

We have not seen the evidence ana can not commit ourselves in advance." So far as Nurml and the IAAF, now are concerned, the precedent Is clear as to the acceptance of certification of an athlete by bis home country. But the IJlAT. already has disregarded this by maintaining Paavo's suspension, over Finland's objections. American leaders-have carefully steered clear of the angle of Nur-ml's value as a "gate perhaps the greatest that the Games offer, but this Is bound to weigh heavily in the minds of many delegates, however Irrelevant it may be officially considered.

Sturdy Not So Sturdy Fred Sturdy. Los Angeles boy who made vaulting history at Yale, worked at Bovard Field yesterday. reea nas atrocious form, compared to that of Lee Barnes, but he gets over the bar with plenty to spare. He is not nearly as strong physically as Barnes and this may prove to be a handicap at Stanford.

A few weeks ago Barnes picked Sturdy and Graber as the best bets for vaulting berths on the American team. I'll string with Lee himself as the main cinch. Barnes vaults about four or five times whenever he practices. He rarely misses any given height, raises the bar six inches each time and then quits while he's still fresh. He's conserving his energy for that gruelling final at Stanford which may run far Into the night.

Brocksmith's Nemesis Here The best two-mile runner in America reached Los Angeles yesterday. Ho Is Charley Shugert of Miami University. Ohio. We've heard plenty about Henry Brock-smith of Indiana out this way. In fact, I rather had the Idea that Brocksmith was about as good as they come in this country.

But Jim Gordon, Shugert's team-mate for two years at Miami, volunteered the information that Charley has beaten Brocksmith three consecutive years. Shugert's time for two miles in the NCAA, meet at Chicago was 9m. 16s. Such figures are beyond the ken of western track fans. The Miami boy, a slight youth of 135 pounds, will run the 5000-meter race at Stanford.

This amounts to a shade more than three miles. Barber Leaps Again Dick Barber, S.C. broad jumper. did his first leaping yesterday since the I.C.4-A. meet.

He cleared 24ft. four times then quit. There was no indication that his leg will bother him this week-end. national tennis tournament in prog' ress here, defeating Mrs. Dorothy Andrus Burke, a fellow-American, She will meet Miss Rollin Cou-querque In the finals, the latter upsetting a third American, Elizabeth Ryan, 6-4, 6-1, in the other semifinal match.

JAPAN TAKES LEAD OVER ITALY IN DAVIS CUP PLAY MILAN (Italy) July 9. (JP) Japan took a lead of two matches to one over Italy in their Davis Cup series today, Jlro Satoh and R. Miki pairing to defeat Giovanl Palmieri and Sertorlo, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3, In the doubles match. Yesterday's two singles matches were divided. STOEFEN AND HENNESSEY ADVANCE TO FINALS MINNEAPOLIS (Minn.) July 9.
