Place of Jesse's Triumph Torn Up
Detroit march 7 Jesse Owens once ran ten seconds flat for 100 yards and still believes he could today. The 30 year old is a Ford public relations man and says Olympic glory in Berlin 1936 remains his peak thrill, though he predicts records will eventually fall.

He notes Eddie Tolan’s Los Angeles 1932 win as another major thrill and recalls AAU suspension over returning home early from the 1936 games.
