U S Picks to Win Both Finals in Olympic Track Analysis
Bert Nelson surveys Thursday Olympic finals with optimism for Americans in both the high jump and 100 meters. John Thomas looms as a near-cinch in the high jump, while Charles Dumas and Joe Faust loom for the U.S. in the 7-foot range. In the 100 meters, Dave Sime is favored to win ahead of Armin Hary and Jarry Jerome, with Norton and Jerome following.
