1041 and 1042. became the firs!
trackster in four war years to equal
post-war track performances as he
negotiated the century da*h in
10 3 seconds. This equaled his own
meet record, and tied Eddie Tolan's
Olympic 100-meter mark. The time
was just one second off the world
record for the distance.
F.well finished fifth in the broad
jump, and easily qualified for the
200-meter title race but scratched
from the finals His record time in
the dash served a* the speaihead
