UNITED STATES WINS OLYMPICS Americans Establish Nine Records To Take Championship Berlin, Aug. 10—(U.R>—American men still rule the world in track and field. Eight days ago crack athletes from all corners of the globe began competition in the 11th Olympic games — determined to wrest from the United States the cinder path title it has held since the games were revived in 1896 at Athens. But today those stars were forced to admit that Uncle Sam's boys still are tops. The sturdy band from the United States retained ' its unofficial team championship With one of the greatest displays of athletic prowess the world ever has seen. The Americans won a dozen I titles and rolled up 203 points—more than the combined scores of their three nearest challengers, Finland. Germany and Japan. In whipping the world, they shattered nine Olympic records. Five of those new marks were superior 1 to the old world records. The American women were not so fortunate, however, in the track and field competition which ended in huge Olympic stadium yesterday. They finished second to Germany in team standing. The track competition evoked one of the greatest assaults on records in history. Nine world records and 17 Olympic marks were bettered by men and three world and five Olympic records were shattered by women. The number of Olympic records broken by men fell short by two of the all-time record of 19 established in 1932 at Los Angeles but the total of world records bettered was four better than four years ago. America's total of a dozen men's titles was one better than in 1932. The Americans tied their record of I 12 out of 23 championships won at Paris in 1924, and fell only one short of the all time Olympic mark of 13 made by the U. S. A. at Stockholm 24 years ago. Thus, an American team that I was handicapped by injuries and bad weather during training outI did even the fondest expectations of its followers. In two events —hfgh jump and decathlon—it swept the first three places. It swept the 100, 200, 400, i and 800-meter runs for the first time since 1912. And it produced the first winner of three events since Paavo Nurmi in 1924. That man was Jesse Owens, the Ohio State speedster, who won the 100meter and 200-meter titles in world record breaking time and shattered the Olympic mark as he captured the broad jump title. o Truck load of Tomatoes, Tuesday A.
