Sweden to Install Ten Olympic Coaches for Summer Training
Sweden plans a broad expansion of the Olympic training system with ten coaches under Ernie Hjortberg. Coaches will receive a comprehensive course before being assigned to districts to raise coaching standards and club organization. A separate note reports a fatal boxing incident in Sydney due to an unusually thin skull. In Tokyo a Filipino sprinter G Saavedra ran the hundred in ten seconds flat, with potential for faster times with training. Memorial Day crowds boosted attendance across sports, with large baseball gates and a Red Cross charity tennis event collecting over 800 dollars. The Nashville champions have not yet challenged the Southern league leaders.
