400 METRES HURDLES Tisdall (Ireland) won the 400 metre hurdle final, brealring Taylof's world record of 52 sec by one-fifth of a second, but he knocked over one burdle and was unable to claim the record. Hardin (U.S.A.) was second, Taylor (U.S.A.) third, and Lord Burghley (England) fourth. Facelli (Italy) was fifth. In the final of the 400 metres hurdles Tisdall won, winning the race from the start. His timing was so perfect that it was clear his stride must carry him to victory, and had he not knocked over the last hurdle his 51 3-10sec would have been a new world's .•pcord. Lord Burgbley was fast overtaking Hardin and Taylor who were both running in second and third places, but the Englishman went out of step and was compelled to relinquish the possibility of being placed. He finished fourth, with Facelli a j disappointing fifth. Hardin's time of j 52sec was allowed.
