1t ls said on good nuthority that the
Canadian association Will reinstate
Longboat. the indian runner. who was
suspended by both the Canadian AZ
soctation and the Amateur Athletic

The reason given for this action Is that
the Canjdians desire to enter team
at the Olympic games In London next
summer
Longboat would doubtless prove a
winning card at the meet In London.
It is not likely. however. that the
Amateur Athletic Union will remove
the suspension against the Indian. In
which case no American athlete could
enter the race against him In London.
