BERLIN, July 3L—Don Lash of Indiana University, two-mile rec ord-holder and an entrant in both the 5000 and 10,000 meters runs at the Olympic games, told the United Press today that a nerve.in his right side caught during training yesterday. “While it responded to massage I sure am scared the same thing might happen during the 10,000 meters Sunday,” Lash said.
BY JOE WILLIAMS } Times Special Writer ] ERLIN, July 31.—By some strange quirk of human nature or human behavior, America’s Olympic athletes in the last 24 hours produced no antics which properly required the reportorial skill of a Broadway columnist or a police reporter. Even the brass-hatted officials remained
singularly quiescent. This latter phenomenon was
Under the circumstances, I was positively eager to meet up with Mr. Lawson Robertson, chief coach of the Olympic Village, -and listen to him talk about athletics, a subject which has been almost completely ignored ever: since the peace ship, as the Manhattan is now being called, sailed from New York. - This is Mr. Robertson's ninth Olympiad, both as competitor an d coach, and he is one of the few perennials w h o appears able to approach these things with: a common-sense attitude. This is probably cue to the fact that he not only knows athletes, but humans. For the last several days Robertson has been comparing observations with rival coaches quartered in the village and the result may be accepted loosely as a consensus of experts on now the track events are likely to finish. ”n = EJ CCORDING to the dope, America figures to take eleven events, Finland four, Germany three, Japan, Italy, Sweden, England and Argentine one. “I wouldn't want to bet we'll taken eleven,” said. Mr. Robertson, “because I have a feeling that the other coaches are hiding something.” It should be remembered, however, that America won eleven firsts at Los Angeles, four years ago and what is more all experts are agreed that this is the strongest team the Stars and Stripes ever had. So eleven firsts may not be far out of line when the final returns come in. To get to the details. The consensus shows your Uncle Sam out in front in the 100, the 200, 400, 110 and 400 hurdles; in the high jump, broad jump, pole vault, the 416 relays, . and the decathlon. Finland is favored in

the 5010 meters, the 3000 steeplechase and the javelin throw. Germany is ranked high in the shotput, the discus and the hammer throw.

lage revealed tremendous respect for Jesse Owens, the great Negro star of Ohio State University. “I talked with seven coaches and six conceded the two sprints and high jump to Owens,” said the American leader, “I started coming to these games with the original Greeks and I can’t remember when any one man stood out so prominently.” Mr. Robertson professed to be deeply shocked when the consensus fail to establish. Don Lash, the celebrated dish washer of Indiana University, as the man to beat either in the 5000 or 10,000 meters. In the former, the vote went to Gunnar Hockert of Finland, and to Ilmari Salminrn, of the same country, for the latter. Lash is admittedly the finest distance runner America has ever developed and recently

The Americans who saw Lovelock run away and hide from Cunningham and Bill Bonthron know what he can do. Well,| the

Berlin Keyed for Start of - World Games
Hitler Officially to Open
Huge Meet Tomorrow; Millions. Spent.
BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor
BERLIN, July 31.—The eleventh Olympiad opens tomorrow. ‘At § p.m. (10 a. m. CST) Reichs fuehrer Adolf Hitler will face more
than 4000 athletes from 52 nations, assembled on the field of Olympic Stadium, and speak the words which officially will open the greatest
‘|athletic carnival of all time.
And when Der Fuehrer says “I hereby pionounce the eleventh Olympiad open,” Germany will have completed a painsiaking task of ors ganization, Germany began preparing for the 1936 Olympics more than six years ago, and today its job was finished— a far-flung athletic set-up that even surpasses the Los Angeles Olympics of 1932, which all had agreed at the time would never again be equaled. Berlin was. dressed up today like no other capital of the world. Its carnival spirit even outrivals that of New Orleans during Mardi Gras; New York on New Year's eve and Louisville on Derby Day.
Swastikas Everywhere
A million or more huge Swastika banners flutter throughout Berlin. Thousands of flags of all nations hang everywhere. Traffic on Unter den Linden is so heavy it takes 15 minutes to walk a couple of blocks. In the midst of such a smothering of decoration and swirl of naval and military display, it's almost impossible to calmly contemplate the actual games themselves despite the fact that they promise the greatest athletic competiion ever seen in he Olympics.
ceremony is that the Berlin games, unlike all others, are an expression of a state—a show - piece for the glorification of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler. Once the games actually were awarded to Germany in 1932, the entire nation pitched in. A highpressure hational campaign made the German people conscious of the Olympic spirit—and they responded nobly. Germany Has Purpose While the games cost Germany some 60,000,000 marks ($24,200,000) even before the first competing athlete drrived in Berlin, none of that money was spent for intangibles. Every building and stadium erected is a permanent structure for future
purposes. The Olympic Village, for example,
