This is an page from a 1952 Olympic autograph album. The Scandinavians tend to use these spiral bound notebooks. Not just back in the 1950's, I also have 10 or so albums from Athletics World Championships in the 1990's and 2000's that are like this. The graph style paper is also popular over there.

Clyde Lovellette at the Olympics. The signature below him is Forrest C. "Phog" Allen. He coached Lovellette at Kansas and was the head coach for the Olympic team.
The two signatures below Allen are Juan Gazsó and Alberto López of the Argentine basketball team. They finished fourth in the Olympic games. They were also members of the Argentine team that won the first ever FIBA World Championship in 1950. As the host country they won all their games. They defeated the U.S. 64-50 in the gold medal game.
This album, along with the others I have, came from the same person in Finland. Either he or someone else would clip out signatures they wanted though they did miss some better ones. This album has another 'Phog' Allen signature along with 2021 Boxing HOFer Davey Moore and gold medal boxer Ed Sanders. Both Moore and Sanders died as a result of injuries suffered during a boxing match. Moore fought Sugar Ramos in 1963. He was knocked down and hit the ropes suffering whiplash. He fell into a coma and died four days later at 32. Sanders, one of the rarer gold medal boxers, was knocked out by Willie James during a match in Boston Garden. He was carried from the ring and died the next day at the age of 24.
