LOS ANGELES, Wednesday. "Charlton is creating a big splash at the Olympic swimming stadium. He has heen correcting a .few faults and swimming highar out of the water," said Mr. Frank Beaurepaire, "so he has cut one-eighth of a second off each 100-metre lap in 1500 metres. He will win the event and set a new record." Elliot (New Zealand) was officially timed at 10.8 seconds for 100 metres, 5.2 for 50 yards. Elliott, who is used to grass courses, is finding greater speed possible, because of the solid clay tracks.
