American team for the 1922 Olympic games in Amsterdam BY HENRY FARRELL Vnltmt Prraa Staff formpmlciil NEW YORK Marche America's strength on the Olympic track In Amsterdam In 1928 as has become legendary will be confined almost entirely to the sprinters and tha hurdlers Despite the earnest efforts of coaches and athletic directors It seems Impossible to develop middle distance or long

100-meter dash In Paris and won the 200-meters but if form holds the team should win both events this year Germany however has in Kor-nigs a 102 sprinter for 100 meters and 215 for 200 meters which qualifies him as a serious threat Distance Hopes America's short distance hopes will be delegated to Charley Pad-dock world record holder Charley Borah national champion Roland Locke world record holder for 220 yards De Hart Gubbard and selections from a group consisting of Schols McAllister Miller Hussey Murchison Bowman and Russell In addition to toe German threat there will be Liddell and Butler qf England Feteraon of Sweden and Mourlon of France The half mllers headed by Alva Martin national champion and Walter Caine are faster than the runners who took third and fifth places in the 800 metera In 1924 but there as many and competition will be harder against Lowe England 1924 champion and Peltser the German atar I Mm In Meters About the only hope the Americana have In the 1500
