The XVth Olympic Games Close

Britain Wins Her Solitary Gold Medal In Last Event

Helsinki, Aug. 3.

After two weeks of record-breaking contests the 15th modern

In the stadium, which has seen so many astounding fents of speed, strength and skill, the great bowl containing the Olympic flame was placed at the top of the 72-metre high lower which has dominated the scene.

Instead of the latest results, the giant scoreboard bore the legend "Great is triumph. greater far is noble combat."

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.
