U.S. Olympic Lead
Cut by Red Rally
MELBOURNE, Saturday, Dec. 1 (ill—Two track events
—the 400 and 1,600-meter relays—and basketball, three Gold
Medals which have been looked upon as sure bets for Yank
athletes, today became "musts" if U.S. Olympians are to out
last Russia for the unofficial team point title.
There wasn't much doubt that
all three were in the bag for the
U.S. but there remained the
chance of an upset—a fumbled
baton pass in the relays, on a cold
night on the basketball court- 1
and there was no guarantee that
even all three
events, a total of
30 points, will be
enough to with
stand the Rus
sians through the
final week of the
1956 games.
Going into the
final week the
Americans have

outscored by the Soviets 50-29 yes
terday. That left the Yanks with
a 347 to 269 1 / 2 unofficial point edge
going into today's competition.
What little was accomplished
by the Yanks yesterday was the
work of Campbell, the big guy
from Plainfield, N.J., and John
' son, the world record holder in
the decathlon from Kingsburg,
Calif., who competed with his left
knee bandaged and his tummy
taped.
Campbell won four of the 10- 1
events in the two-day program!
to better the 1952 standard of
7,887 points set by American Bob
Mathias. Campbell, who was sec- 1
and in '52 at Helsinki, fell 48'
points short of Johnson's world i
