named "Harry," said his own
squad was superior to those which
competed at Helsinki and Mel
bourne,- yet was an unknown
quantity in the light of rising com
petition.
"It is impossible to forecast the
Olympic results," Korobkov told
the Associated Press in the first
appraisal of the strength of the
;two giants of the game. "But if
there are any certainties they are
John Thomas in the high jumps
and Don Bragg in the pole vault.
"I think America's Ray Nor
ton will beat Armin Hary, Ger
many, in the sprints and win
three gold medals just as Bobby
Morrow did at Melbourne.
Glenn Davis and Lee Calhoun
should take the hurdles and I ,
don't know who can beat the
United States in the 1600-meter
relay—l would say no one."
Korobkov is a powerfully-built,
one-time decathlon star with a
thick neck and barn-door shoul
ders, He speaks English almost
flawlessly and looks and acts
more American than Russian
probably because of his longtime
association in the Olympics and
dual meets at Moscow and Phila
delphia.
He talked freely and casually of
the Olympic outlook during the
giant athletic pageant at Lenin
Stadium.
Korobkov said his Russian pro
eges always admired and re
nerted their American rivals.
