Even before the flag-raising was finished, a U.S. boxer collapsed-starved for oxygen in the high (7,800 ft.), thin air-and had to be carried off. Next day, when some 2,000 competitors from 22 American republics began the more strenuous exertions of the off-year Olympics, athletes and spectators began to drop in droves...
