Two were misty-eyed, ,c yy one wept unashamedly and the other, Craig Dixon, leaned ( dejectedly on the last row of hurdles sobbing convulsively. ^ j ' or Only a few seconds after the starter's gun sounded, . Golliday, America's hwpe in the 100-meter dash, pulled a it muscle. DeVinney, running an easy second in the 400-meter tk hurdles and coasting in, ^iit. the last barrier, staggered, tc pitched over the finish line nosed out of third place. Mc- oT p|p. .

Gil Dodd in the metric ** mile?all victims of mishaps or iniuries. rc This caused us to ask the Sports editors of daily news- a i.v.'.V' papers: "Is'the method of selecting U? .S. Olympic team . d ^ members a fair one?" ? " hi Coach Brutus Hamilton of California, U. S. Olympic i p; y?>v team manager, says: "I am convinced our sudden-death k; method is the finest and squares! way to pick our team." j 5 Not everybody agrees with Hamilton. The' I'nited j b< I:., v States is one of the few competing nations where the final Bjc;' tryouts are the determining factors in team selection. Tn Kvroost European countries if an athlete has been a consis-1 cc Hy tent winner all season and makes outstanding times, he is Bp?r f??tomatically picked. ' ' ai p1-' * ..If our_ selection system was conducted along these !?|.y lines Dixon, DeVinnev. Golliday, McMulle nand Do nGehr- 1 ;itV mann of Wisconsin, a standout winter board miler. would ' now be jogging over the cinders at Helsinki. There is little ^ doubt, but that our leanrwould total more points. ( Yet it could lead to faovritism and much dispute, sc B-V Athletes like Gehrmann might be past peak by Olympic- Ul - time such as was the case this track seaon, Furthermore, (' it would eliminate what this country stands for?namely. 1)1 ygk'-. fair and open competition and mav the best man win. - * 13 EjiSfe--- Of course heartbreaks would be spared. Heartbreaks ii though are part of life and from them greater strength Esr-ariae,. j ^ Plans wouldn't have had to be cancelled like Dixon's I 1 fiancee who bought a boat ticket with the idea of meeting,^ P the hurdler in Helsinki.
