Surprises in Olympic Games Fail to Impress Berlin Crowd
Berlin August 5. Despite high hopes and legends like Jesse Owens turning records, the Olympics under Nazi precision yielded no major upsets. Owens appears unbeatable in the 200 meters with Mack Robinson as a potential rival, while entries for the 1500 include strong heats and withdrawals such as Jack Lovelock shifting focus from the 5,000. Glenn Cunningham, Gene Venzke and Archie San Romani show good form amid stiffness concerns. Luigi Becali and Stanley Wooderson train hard though Wooderson limps slightly.
