BRILLIANT AMERICANS PALO ALTO (Cal.) Sat. Two world's records were surpassed and another equalled to-day in the American track and field tests to decide the personnel of the Olympic team. Leo Sexton put the sliot 52ft 8in. Jolin Anderson hurled the discus 165.54ft. Eddie Tolan equalled the record for the 100 metres, his time being 10 2-5s. The trio will probably represent the United States in the Olympic Games.
