(' , ttian athlete retains his number one position in our ratings as the greatest sprinter of all time. But there were at least two highly spectacular changes that saw Ray Norton rocket up from a tie for 49th place to second and Dave Sime move up ahead of Jesse Owens for nurnber 1 four. Olympic 100-meter championArm,tn Hary of Germqny moved up from tie 40 to 13th ,place while Olympic 200-meter champion Livia Berruti of Itc!;ly, previqusly unranked. now ties for 34th. Hary now rates behind only .Lloyd LaBeach of Panama among non-United States sprinters, 155 points to LaBeach's 188. ·'"' , -.r . Morrow has only 24 fewer points than he had as of the close of,the 1958 season. Bobby hung 6n grimly by picking up substantial achievern. ent and victory point ·s_, 45 and 32 respec - · > tively, hence his numerous setbacks '·while trying to get in condition for Rome , did not hurt him in the final reckoning as -much as might be imagined. ' Norton closed out his career with 319 points, 80, behind Morrow's speJJ,did, 408, and 39 ahead of Ralph Metcalfe's 280. Sime was up 61 points from the previous tabulation for a total of 243, passing Owens with his 224, Charles Paddock with his 199 and LaBeach with, 188, , . , Norton gained the amazing total of 283 points in two seasons, 1959-60, of which 224 were achievement points, 92 victory points, minus 33 defeat penalties suffered in those two 1 years. Had Norton won both Olympic sprints he would have wound up ,vith 40 more points than he has, two ·10-point gold medal awards; five more victory points and five fewer defeat pcp. alties in each race. His closeout would then have read 359, still short of Morrow's 408. ', ~Two changes were made in the evaluations. Where victory points had previously -been awarded to athletes who had defeated Dee Givens ' and Orlando Hazley, these wer~ erased and, defeats suffered from these men are now penalized two points each instead .of one. This was because neither has quite lived up to the previous rating of great sprinter. They are no better than a number of other men whose conquests of the rated sprinters have cost · 1 these men two points per defeat.
