The competitors are P Van de Sype of Belgium (1); A. Marie of France (no.3); Donald Finlay of Britain (4); E. Arneberg, of Norway (5); Harrison Dillard, left, of the United States, and G. V. D. Hoeven, of Holland (7). Dillard won the event in 14.4 seconds, followed by A. Marie in second place and Finlay in third. Dillard, the only Olympic runner to win gold medals in both the sprints and high hurdles, has died. He was 96. Longtime friend Ted Theodore said Dillard died Friday, Nov. 15, 2019, at the Cleveland Clinic after a fight with stomach cancer. The 1955 Sullivan Award winner as the nation's outstanding amateur athlete, Dillard was the oldest living U.S. Olympic champion. (AP Photo, File)
