Brown and the walker became friends shortly after the arrival of the American| team and they went out to look over the 50,000 meters course. The walker started walking in the correct heel-and-toe style and Tarzan, whose forte is running, tried to match him.

Archie Williams lliams Wins Final 400-Meter Run; Lash Finishes 14th.

(Olympic Editorials, Page 18)

BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor By United Press OLYMPIC STADIUM, BERLIN, Aug. 7.—Archie - Williams, University of Caifornia Negro, won the Olympic 400-meter title %loday, giving the United States its tenth men’s track and field title of the eleventh Olympic Games. The dusky Californian, who holds the world record of 46.1, was clocked in 46.5 seconds as he broke the tape a fifth of a second ahead of Arthur Godfrey Brown, bespectacled Cambridge University sophomore running for Great Britain. Jimmy Luvalle, the Negro graduate of U. C. L. A, finished third, William Roberts of Great Britain was fourth; Bill Fritz, Canada, fifth, and John Wilfred Loaring, Canada, sixth. Luvalle and Roberts finished so close together that each was clocked in 468. ° “The weather was sultry, and the track heavy for the event, which was watched by a crowd of 95,000. Fuehrer Adolf Hitler did not &ttend today’s session—the firsts he has missed since the Olympics opened last Saturday.

U. 8. Makes Clean Sweep

Williams’ victory gave the United States its first clean sweep of the 100, 200, 400 and 800-meter events since 1912. He also recorded the sixth Negro victory of ten: scored by the United States. Jesse Owens, Ohio State thunderbolt, had scored a triple in the broad jump, 100 and 200 meters; Johnny Woodruff of Pitsburgh won the 800, and Cornelius Johnson of Los Angeles took the high jump. Harold Smallwood of Ventura, Cal., who probably would have made the finals, was withdrawn from the semi-finals earlier today when hg suffered an appendicitis attack which uired an operation. Small. wood was reported resting easily this afternogn in the West End Hospital. Williams’ triumph brought the

the field. Bob Clark of San Francisco was on top with, 3320 points followed by the favorite; Glenn Morris, with 3280, and Jack Parker, Sacramento, 3187. The athletes completed four events—100 m broad jump, shot put and high jump—of the grueling 10-event test. One more event remained up for competition today—400 nieters. Tomorrow they will compete in five more events and the man with the highest point total will win.

New 5000-Meter Mark

Finland's Gunnar Hoeckert won the 5000-meter race, scoring his nation’s fourth consecutive triumph. He covered the distanc® in 14:22.2, a new Olympic record. Lauri Lehtinen, who set the 14:30 record in. the 1932 games, finished second to his countryman. Before the 5000-meter, Don Lash of Indiana, the American hope, indicated that he was not feeling in top condition because of a strained nerve in his leg, which had prevented him from training properly. Lash was fourteenth in the field

of 15. Louis Zamperini, 21-year-old

Compton (Cal.) entrant, was eighth. The first three men to finish broke the Olympic record and the f man equaled it. The Americans never were in the running. At the 3000-meter mark, | Lash had fallen badly behind and was in next to last position. Up with the leaders: all the way was Hoeckert, who stayed in front during the final laps and won at least 50

meters over Lehtinen. The second

Finh was 25 meters in front of Sweden’s Johnson at the finish.

Williams won the 400 with a)

thrilling stretch finish. Brown was | first. out of the pits with Luvalle second. Heading into the last few |" feet of the backstretch, Williams} jammed into the lead and held it to the tape At the end of the back stretch, Roberts was a close second and Luvalle, running with a long spaceeating stride, was third. Coming out of the final curve and into the home stretch, it was Williams, Luvalle and Brown, with inches separating them. It was clear the race was between these three men, although Roberts an Seemed to be something of a eat.
