Britain Wins Her Solitary Gold Medal In Last Event
Helsinki, Aug. 3.

WHY BRITAIN LAGGED

By RALPH
HEWINS
America led and Britain lagged behind in the Olympic Games be- cause British universities are "ivory castles,"
That is the theory of Professor Arthur H. Steinhaus, Professor of Physiology at George Williams College, Chicago, with whom I watched Americans win 19 medals out of a possible 36 in the first 12 men's track and' field events. He advised the American team."
Ho sat next the track with a wire recorder, On it he reported for the physiological pundits of America and included interviews with new Champions, He also photographed record-breakers under stress.
That shows you some of the pains to which modern Americans go to win and keep on, winning.
