XVI OLYMPIAD MELBOURNE 1956 HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II Patron of the Games the OFFICIAL REPORT XVI OLYMPIAD MELBOURNE 1956 HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II Patron of the Games THE OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE FOR THE GAMES OF THE XVI OLYMPIAD MELBOURNE 1956 Copyright —1958 by The Organizing Committee of the XVI Olympiad, Melbourne, 1956 Printed by: W. M. Houston, Government Printer, Melbourne, Australia PREFACE It is a truism that there are four parties to the process of history—some personify history, some make it, some watch it, some record it. It is to this Fourth Estate, to those who contributed their moiety to this history of the Games of the XVI Olympiad and whose task made up in tedium what it lacked in glamour, that acknowledgment is tendered here. Their work, whether paid for or voluntary, was not unrewarded. Each in his or her own way helped to fire and raise the Torch which perpetually lights this matchless achievement of the youth of the nations in world-wide understanding and fellowship. This, like virtue, is its own reward. The publication of the Official Report is a salient obligation of the Charter of the organizing of the Games. Its requirements in gathering, sifting, checking, condensing, and indexing an enormous mass of material in manuscript and pictures grows more laborious with the years. Its compilation represents an interval of eighteen months since the Games. Responsibility for the contents is accepted by the Organizing Committee, whose thanks are due to so many contributors that a comprehensive acknowledgment is not possible, but among whom the following must be placed foremost : The Arena Managers for their assistance in compiling the reports, and to the following whose added assistance is much appreciated : M. A. H. Marsden, C. W. Porter (Torch Relay), A. Tunstall (Boxing), G. W. Jones (Cycling), M. Buckner (Football), J. X. O'Driscoll (Modern Pentathlon), J. Fullerton, R. E. Darling (Demonstrations), E. Lake (Opening and Closing Ceremonies, Athletics and Swimming), and F. H. Pizzey (Athletics). Grateful thanks must also be tendered to the Chairmen of Committees and Sub-Committees whose reports form the basis of the preliminary text, and for the assistance received from the Commonwealth News and Information Bureau and the Australian and Overseas Newspapers and Magazines, which contributed to the pool of photographs from which was drawn the majority of illustrations appearing in this Report. There were many donations of individual photographs received from private sources. And finally, acknowledgment is due to the Honourable Sir Wilfred Kent Hughes,* Chairman of the Organizing Committee ; Mr. Edgar Tanner, Honorary Secretary of the Organizing Committee and the Australian Olympic Federation ; Mr. W. Uren, Executive Officer of the Australian Olympic Federation ; Mr. T. Forristal, Chairman of the Winding-up Committee, and Mr. P. W. Nette, Administrative Director of the XVI Olympiad. All sporting reports were submitted to the International Sporting Federations for approval before final editing. * Knighted in New Year Honours 1957 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. 4 Compiling and indexing these reports entailed greater difficulty than was first envisaged, for reasons which warrant explanation. Results, for instance, were issued, as were amendments, alterations, and comments, as the currency of the competitions required. These were not in sufficient detail for permanent record. Some Federations took their results away with them without leaving copies with either the Organizing Committee or their Australian associations. Notwithstanding months of correspondence, some minor details and names of officials are still not complete, a matter for editorial regret. The spelling of names adopted is that on the entry forms. This may not invariably follow English usage, but the rule having been made it was followed, and it is trusted disapproval will not be occasioned. In some cases—particularly in South American and Asian names—the correct index name was difficult to select. Names having prefixes presented a particular problem in indexing. One surprise which confronted the compilors was to find that 302 entrants who came to Melbourne did not take part in any event. These are not included in the index. It is hoped that none has been undeservedly omitted. The list of acknowledgments would not be complete without reference to my office staff, especially Mr. E. Lake, whose services in checking manuscripts and reading proofs were essential to the end result, and to my editorial assistant, Mr. Allan Dawes. EDWARD A. DOYLE, Honorary Editor. 5 CONTENTS PAGE EDITOR'S PREFACE .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 4 INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 12 A GREEN AND PLEASANT MEMORY .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 13 THE TORCH MOVES UP TO ROME .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 16 THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 18 THE GAMES OF THE XVI OLYMPIAD .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 23 ORGANIZATION, ADMINISTRATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHART .. .. .. .. 32 FINANCE .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 35 INVITATIONS TO THE GAMES .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 36 PROVISION OF SPORTING ARENAS .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 38 TECHNICAL— 49 Training .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 52 Sports Handbooks .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 57 Circulars .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 61 Entry Forms .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 61 Score-cards and Score-sheets .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 63 Programmes .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 64 Sports Equipment .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 67 Flags .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 72 Competitors' Numbers .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 75 Sports and Demonstrations .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 77 Sports Programme .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 78 Co-operation with International Sporting Federations .. .. .. .. 79 Judges and Sports Officials .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 80 Staffs for competition requirements .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 81 Congresses of International Sporting Federations .. .. .. .. .. 81 Timekeeping and Photo-finish .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 82 Scoreboard .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 85 Results Service .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 86 Public Address .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 86 Announcements .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 87 Photography inside the Playing Areas .. .. .. .. .. .. 88 Accommodation for Competitors and Officials .. .. .. .. .. 88 Refreshments .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 88 Interpreters .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 88 Attachés .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 89 Services Participation .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 91 Youth Organization .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 94 Police .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 95 Olympic Hymn .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 97 National Anthems.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 97 Victory Ceremonies .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 98 Medals, Diplomas, and Badges .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 99 6 Contents—continued.

M An outlaw practice : boxing, governance and western law Abstract This investigation examines the uses of Western law to regulate and at times outlaw the sport of boxing. Drawing on a primary sample of two hundred and one reported judicial decisions canvassing the breadth of recognised legal categories, and an allied range fight lore supporting, opposing or critically reviewing the sport's development since the beginning of the nineteenth century, discernible evolutionary trends in Western law, language and modern sport are identified. Emphasis is placed on prominent intersections between public and private legal rules, their enforcement, paternalism and various evolutionary developments in fight culture in recorded English, New Zealand, United States, Australian and Canadian sources. Fower, governance and regulation are explored alongside pertinent ethical, literary and medical debates spanning two hundred years of Western boxing history. & Acknowledgements and Declaration This has been a very solitary endeavour.

    Byrne (right) of Ireland avoids a glancing left from Kurschat of Germany during their Lightweight fight. Middleweight.—U.S.S.R. contestants won their third Gold Medal with Chatkov defeating Tapia (Chile) on a knock-out. This was the only final in which a medal was won by a knock-out. Third placings were Chapron (France) and Zalazar (Argentine). Light Heavyweight.—In his defeat of Negrea (Rumania) Boyd was the first U.S.A. competitor to win a Gold Medal. This was a very hard fought contest, both boys standing toe to toe, each trying for a knock-out. Boyd defeated the much-favoured Mouraouskas, (U.S.S.R.), in the semi-finals on points. Third placings were Mouraouskas and Lucas (Chile). Heavyweight.—This was the most surprising division of the series. It was the belief of many present that Moukhine (U.S.S.R.) would be the winner. His first bout was with Lozanov (Bulgaria); to whom he conceded nearly six stone. In the beginning of the first round Lozanov almost floored Moukhine with his terrific punching power, and it was not until half-way through the second round that Moukhine started to hurt his opponent with body blows. The third round showed Moukhine clearly the master, punching his oponent at will, and scoring with every blow ; with only 20 seconds to go Lozanov retired and Moukhine was declared the winner. Moukhine's next contest was against Ahsman (Sweden), whom he defeated on points. In the finals Moukhine met Rademacher (U.S.A.) in a sensational contest. Rademacher seemed to have his mind set on ending the bout as quickly as possible.
