escape briefly from the turmoil which is sports whirl With football the Lexington Trots and Kiwneland going at the same time interest ia bound to be divided Try to sandwich in a little fishing really begun to bite good) and you compound the confusion Such the case at this time five years ago when John Robsion and I stumped the length and breadth of Kentucky He was the Republican candidate for governer and as such had a traveling entourage which included this reporter during the opening weeks of his -campaign ainst Bert Combs Before you get the wrong idea the association poll- -ticaL Mr

Approximately 8000 athletes from 98 nations will compete in 20 sports from Oct 10 to Oct 24 Rome despite being near the European centers of popualtlon had 1000 competitors from 84 nations for tha I960 Games More than $2 billion has been spent by the Tokyo Organizing Committee and tha Japanese government on stadiums super highways a yacht harbor and even a monorail to ipeed visitors from tho airport into Tokyo' dense traffic-clogged center aU called Olympic although such is permanent improvements Russia is cure to dominate these Gatfes Just as it did those at Rome ana to Melbourne in 1956 The United States should bo an easy second with Japan third But the United States which takes an offhand view of such Olympic sports as gymnastics fencing water polo Judo shooting women's volley ball and the like seems sure to star in what the Americana consider the blue ribbon sports of the Olympics trick and field swimming and basketball That's the nice thing about the Olympics Each nation has a chanca to pick a favorite sport clean up la it and go home happy Four years ago at Roma tha Russians over-all won 41 gold medals 33 silver and 30 bronze The United States waa second in each category with 34 and 18a Favoritea have a way of stub btog their toes but by any reckoning the American track and field and swimming teams are tha strongest and best balanced ever fielded and the UK basketball team should keep clean a neon! of never having lost a basketball game to Olympic competition since the sport was introduced into tha Games ia 19381 Overall tha United States could win as many as 37 gold medals 13 to men's track and field For the first time sines the early Games of 1396 1900 and that era the United States will challenge In the long-distance run from the 1530 through the 10000

brilliant field of swimmers Try to pick a hero of those games in advance Chances arc strong it could be modest Negro girl from Atlanta named Edith McGuire who could win three gold medals 100 200 and as anchor girl in the 400-meter relay She would thus succeed in the same role her compatriot Wilma Rudolph of Nashville Term who won those same three honors Or it could be Valery Brume the incomparable Russian high Jumper who holds tho world marie at 7-544 and might go higher Or Bob Hayes of Jacksonville FIs who could win tho 100 and anchor the winning 400-meter relay team Or even tiny 17-yesr-old Gerry Lindgren of Spokane Wash who has yet to be tested at 10000 meters Or some unknown Japanese who could win the classic marathon For to Japan this is not merely an international sports event It is a chance to prove to 30000 tourists and to tne rest of the world that Japan has truly Joined the mainstream of Western civilization These are the first Games ever held in Asia Japan was to have staged then in 1940 but war intervened Now they are back in earnest in a city saturated with Olympic flas where the Games are the sole topic of conversation and where the citizenry patiently cue
