Original Toronto Star caption: Glenda Reiser; in fourth place; is forced to the outside in the semi-final of the women's 1;500-metre race at the Munich Olympic games. Only 17; Glenda was unable to cope with the opposition in a tactical race and finished a disappointing seventh. But the Ottawa girl is regarded as one of the rising young stars in the track world. She will face world-class copetition in 1;000-yard race in The Star-Maple leaf Indoor Games Friday evening at Gardens.
