...mile course, won points according to the Olympics scoring system, so involved that Texas' Albert Fay complained, "You need a dadgum computer to find out where you stand." Olympic Champion O'Day won one race, was disqualified in the next when he failed to hear the recall horn after a false start, wound up a woeful twelfth in the competition.
