...Scott Fitzgerald's novella. French magazines are calling it le style tennis or the Deauville look. But it might just as easily be described as the Newport-to-Palm Beach mood, or the John Held Jr. look (after the cartoonist who lampooned the '20s) or the Devereux Milburn look (for the '20s polo hero).

Until a few weeks ago, the athlete with the surest shot at a gold medal in track seemed to be muttonchopped Rod Milburn of Opelousas, La., who has not lost a 110-meter hurdle race in two seasons. Then, in the final at the U.S. trials, he was jarred off balance and finished third, behind Tom Hill and Willie Davenport. Milburn still ranks as the favorite, but he is clearly not invincible.
