TOYKO-Lean, crew-cut Billy
Mills, a Marine lieutenant from
Coffeyville, K a n., outsprinted
world record-holder Ron Clarke
of :Australia over the last three
laps and turned in one of the big-
gest upsets in the history of the
Olympic Games yesterday when
he won the 10;000-meter run.
Mills, considered far out of his
class against one of the greatest
fields ever put together, became
the first American ever to win
this Olympic event. ,
The 5-foot-9 first lieutenant
had stayed with the leaders all the
way, forged into the lead with
five laps to go on the six-mile
plus test of courage and endurance
and raced home in an Olympic
record time of 28 minutes, 24.4
seconds.
Clarke was second and Mohamed
Gamoudi of Tunisa an unexpected
third.

States with its third gold medal
and 11th medal in all for the
