There were no boos in San Fran cisco last week. Producer Paul Hager toned down some of the explicit sex and sociology of Hamburg's version, pointed up some of the opera's philo sophical overtones, and allowed Schul ler to reinstate a subtler ending, which the Hamburgers had cut.

Post-meet analysis naturally produced a variety of explanations for the poor showing. Many American coaches criticized the Amateur Athletic Union for allowing members of the U.S. team to compete in track meets throughout Europe before going on to Kiev. Along the way, Olympic 5,000-meter Champion Bob Schul caught a cold that so weakened him that he lost to 35-year-old Pyotr Bolotnikov.

Of Russia's Elvira Ozolina, crushed by her defeat in the women's javelin, rushing wildly into...
...Schul became the first American to win the 5000 meters, coming home just in front of Germany's Harold Norpoth, Bill Dellinger of the U.S. was just one second back of Schul to take the bronze medal...
