Unfortunate Ending To "Mile Of Century

American Denies 'Foul' Charge But Apologises To Sydney Wooderson

By Lawion Carver

Princeton (N.J.), June 17.

Cries of "Foul play!" echoed through American track and field yesterday as the aftermath of the internationally heralded "Mile of the Century." Fettered to last place, Sydney Wooderson's American debut goes down among outstanding fiascos of all time.
