...well with the feared Crimson juggernaut. In reality, all is not well, for the team has been whittled down by injury. French Anderson and Mike Robertson, counted on for two places in the 600 are injured, as is Dave Gately, the leading broad jumper.

Escaping Hungary Santo told New York Herald Tribune Correspondent Barrett McGurn that he hoped for "asylum in my own country -America" where he would "take my chances with the American system."
