U.S. Can

HELSINKI (AP) Four
Olympic finals went on the
line today but the big question
that everybody is asking
whether the United States
actually can catch up with
Russia for the official point

Those with

have come to the conclusion
there will be a photo finish
when the games end Sunday.

There will perhaps be less
than half a dozen points sep-
