Who Will Be Seen At Free Show
From the
PRESS BOX
By John Thomas
ONIGHT'S FREE SHOWING of
official pictures of the Xth Olym-
piad will take place at 8 p. m. in
Hill Auditorium. Presenting a com-
plete record of the high sports of
both summer and winter games, the
film was brought to Ann Arbor under
the auspices of The Michigan Daily
and the Board in Control of Ath-
letics.
In every event throughout the en-
tire games, the official photographer
set up his tripod in the best possible
location and saw the games as no
single spectator was able to witness
them. Carefully cut and edited, the
films are to be displayed as the fin-
ished product here tonight.
Slows and stills which decided im-
portant points in regard to disquali-
fications and close finishes will fea-
ture the seven reels of celluloid rec-
ord, and many finishes currently
famous in sport will be shown.
Among these are Carr and Eastman
in their duel for supremacy in the
400-meter run, and the much-dis-
puted 11i-Lehtinen contest in the
5000-meter event.
Eddie Tolan is shown defeating]
Metcalfe in the 100-meter dash and
the "Midnight Express" also features
the program with a sweeping victory
in the 200-meter speed specialty.
One reel of the show is devoted to
the sports of the Winter Olympiad
at Lake Placid, showing speed and
fancy skating, hockey, ski-jumping
and racing, as well as the heavy bob-
Sleds of the various nations thunder-
ing down Mt. Hoevenberg at speeds
in excess of 85 miles per hour.
Six more reels present the sports
at Los Angeles with the attendant
ceremonies of opening and closing
the games, honoring winners, and
shots of the huge crowd of 125,000
spectators. Men's and women's track
events, cycling, fencing, gymnastic,
field-hockey, rowing, weight-lifting,
wrestling, swimming, diving, shoot-
ing, the modern Pentathlon, and a
Lacrosse demonstration complete the
list of summer sports.
Michigan men, including Ned Tur-
ner, Jim - Cristy, aand ick Degener,
are shown in action against the best
athletes of foreign countries. Slows
and stills of the champion divers are
shown, as well as detailed shots of
the Japanese swimmers who sur-
prised ,the realm of sports by carry-
ing off the aquatic championship.
Explanation of the electric timing
devices used in the races, shots of
the marathon, "Babe" Didrickson in
action and views showing why her
diving broad-jump was disqualified
are some general points of interest
to be shown.
In short, the picture will present
the high spots of the Olympics with
suitable explanations of questionale
details, covering the spectacle in
every sport from dog-sled racing to
fencing.
Varsity coaches have requested
their athletes to watch the pictures
attentively, studying every movement
of world-famous stars. Their form,
mannerisms, and styles of competing
are going to be under the closest
scrutiny of Michigan's athletic per-
formers.
And it's all FREE.
