...individual events, Don MacKinnon has the best chance of bringing home the bacon. He and Ted Bauer will run the 60-yard high hurdles, and will have some tough competition. But if he has luck on the starts, Don should get into the finals, and possibly place, while Bauer has looked very good in the last week and may surprise.

If Ulen lives up to his assertion, the Indians will have to plan to swim against a man whom they know nothing about, as far as his butterflying ability goes, and this lack of information presents a terrific psychological handicap...
