That's the story as far as the Lions are concerned. Leisher;
Rainey, Baidy, Ramsay, and Pahniero will be the starters. If two
or three of the reserve..., especially the tall sophomores, adjust rapidly
to the varsity style of play, the Lions. will be trouble. One thing's
for certain—the team will be a hustling outfit.

U.S. Sends 3 Decathlon
440 Star to Thwart Red
MELBOURNE, Thur s d a y
Nov. 29 (/P)—The United
States sends its three decath
lon stalwarts and quarter
mile whiz Lou Tones into the
Melbourne Cricket Ground arena
today to crack Russia's late Gold
Medal rally in the Olympic
Games_
The Soviet Union, which pre
viously had failed to live up to
stories of its new track and field
might, shot into the picture with
a second Gold Medal for Vladimir
Kouts, the tireless sailor from
Leningrad; a triumph in the wom
en's javelin and a 1-2-3 grand
slam in the 20 kilometer walk
Wednesday.
Coupled with a comeick
vic
tory in the modern pentathlon
after trailing the United States
through four of five events.
these performances gave the
Russians their biggest one-day
medal harvest of the games.
The spurt by the state-subsi
dized Soviet sportsmen came at
a time when American Olympic
officials were celebrating their
early successes and saying as did
Dan Ferris, hospitalized execu-,
tive secretary of the U.S. Ama
teur Athletic Union, that the Rus
sians had failed to live up to scare
stories of their prowess and ap
parently were "over the hill."
The Americans• still appear to
be in the driver's seat in the un
official team race, but Russia's
sudden burst is enough to keep
the Yanks from getting overcon
fident.
Still well ahead in points, the
Yanks figured to strengthen
their position by winning the
400-meter race with Lou Jones
