Butler Great Britain 10 FIELD HOCKEY HE Field Hockey competition in the Games of the Xth Olympiad was limited to three teams of which two, Japan and the Fhiited States, were Tnewcomers to Olympic competition in this sport, and the third, India, was the defending champion. The Indian team, as at Amsterdam, displayed an overwhelming superiority with a group of players who were individual stars at their own positions yet had the uncanny ability to submerge their individualities at the proper time in the - • < interests of first-class team play. Japan unquestionably provided the surprise of the tournament with a dash ing team, several of whose members were individual performers of highest rank. Playing against India in the opening game, they succeeded in scoring against the champions, a feat no team was able to accomplish at Amsterdam, and against the United States they showed magnificent form. Field Hockey has been played in Japan for many years and this background of experience is of great value in international play. The United States, entering a team for the first time, made a creditable showing, playing well against Japan and scoring a goal against India, although overwhelmingly defeated. Three Hockey games were played, all in Olympic Stadium, and the spectators greatly enjoyed the contests despite the obvious superiority of one of the teams in each contest.

The board track at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena proved to be well designed Tand constructed and the new record made in the 1000 Metre Time Trial is evidence thereof. The Road Race, while on a surface unfamiliar to all the contestants, was ideal from the standpoint of smoothness and lack of obstructions, and unusually good time was made by all the contestants in this event. Careful regulation of traffic through the services of hundreds of police enabled the participants to travel the distance of 100 kilometres, or 62 miles, without interruption or accident. In the Track events, first-place championships were evenly divided between four nations. Gray of Australia won the 1000 Metre Time Trial in new record time. Jacobus Van Egmond of Holland was victorious in the 1000 Metre Scratch Race, Maurice Perrin and Louis Chaillot carried the tricolor of France to victory in the 2000 Metre Tandems, and the sensational Italian team won their tradi tional victory in the 4000 Metre Pursuit Race. In the Road Race the Italians made their outstanding performance, taking first, second, fourth, and seventh places — a remarkably even showing. A. Pavesi of Italy, the individual winner, was 1 minute, 16 seconds, faster than his nearest competitor, but the second, third, and fourth men were within half a minute of each other while less than five minutes separated the first nine to finish. H. Hansen of Denmark, winner in the Road Race in 1928, found the pace over this shorter route too hot for him and could do no better than twelfth. Two of his teammates, however, finished fifth and ninth to give second place in the THE WINNING TEAMS WITH THEIR CAPTAINS ON THE VICTORY STAND 528 529 Source : Bibliothèque du CIO / IOC Library XTH OLYMPIAD LOS ANGELES 1932 CYCLING team standings to their country.
