(Special To Guardian) PARIS, July L-Announcement of tbc fhal entry lists today re- veals that a total of H430 athletes, representing 45 nations and com- prising the greatest field in Oiymiplehietory, will battle for the international truck and field iaurels beginning July 5 in the Colombo»; stadium.

Of the individual events, the 100 metre (about 110 yards) dash has the largest field 97 athletes re- presenting 35 nations" while the 400 meter relay (about 437 yards).

with 121 entries from 2O nations. The hammer throw has drawn the‘ [Oblitéiil competitors, 18 repres- ent rig nat ous.

The Finns are pinning their chief hopes on Albln Ston- roos.
