Jesse Owens, the American sprinter, has had admiring audi- ences of fellow-athletes for his training at the Olympic Village. The arrow-like speed and straight- nees of his getaway from the hoes! has been, perhaps, the most im- pressive feature of his running.
Glenn Hardin, the American who was second to R. M. Tisdali in the 400 metres hardes ut the Los Angeles Games, is another whose style is unusual. Partly because of his tallness, he takes his hurdles with so little break in his stride that his action seems to be con- tinuous.

Lord Burghley is to act as com- mandant of the British teum, in Berlin, No better man could have been chosen. During the games the nervous tensión. of competitors is very high. It is essential to have leader who has himsex been through the mill and can therefore sympathise with the apparently small personal pro- blems and can inspire conndence and fighting spirit.
If there were two things for which Lord Burghley was famous when he was an active athlete they were his refusal to admit de- fest and his extreme sporisman- ship whether losing or winning.

He played for Middleser for the first time un Whit Saturday. Now, two months Later, he is knocking at the door of the England ride for Australia. I have seen some of most of Compton's innings at Lord's, and at least one away from home (writes the cricket correspondent). He is not only a fine stroke- player, but one of those natural cricketers who seem to be born with the self-assurance of youth and the level-headedness, of ma- turity. I think Compton should yo to Australia" and I think he will.

A Kangaroo, mascot of the Australians at the Olympic games, has nearly caused International complications. It is a friendly animal and accepted with commendable Impartiality and deras- tating digestive consequences gifts of dainty foods from people of all nations: It became desperately doubtful whether the, mascot would survive tire games. ⠀ “A warning: in three languages has been posted begging kindly athletes not to feed the Kangaroo.
The teams already established in the Olympic Village at Doe- britz, fifteen miles from Berlin, are well entertained. The village. is controlled by the Reichswehr, whose bands play in each new team. Meals are taken with a back-ground of military brass bands. German and Italian teams sing marching songs as they move from the training track to their quarters.
