OLYMPIC SCHEDULE
HURTS ATHLETES
United States Athletes Pre-
vented From Doubling Up
More Men Necessary

New York, Feb. 29-Although the
Olympic games will consume almost
the entire month of July, the most i'm
portant events of the track and field
section will be confined to a period Of
ten days from July 6 to IL. During
this. period all of the sprint races. the
middle and long distance events, the
jumps. weight throwing and hurdle
races will be held. There is now a GER
tain amount of dissatisfaction on the
part of the Americans because the
Swedish Olympic committee has SO
grouped the various events that 1t will
be extremely difficult for the Ameri-
can athletes to double up in events as
they did at The English gaines in 1908.
This. however. will not be such a
handicap as supposed. because 1t is
very IRE that the same athlete can
win two big championships. even with
a day or two of rest between perform
ances. Melvin Sheppard did this in
1908 when he won the 500 and 1900
tional performance. In the 100 and
200 meter hurdle races which lend
themselves to double performances
better than any of the other. events,
there was no one capable Of winning
both. Because of the grouping Of
them the American committee will
take the precaution of sending a big
ger team than usual. so that there will
be plenty Of men for every event with
out requiring n to double up.
Probable Order of Events
Although the Swedish committee
has not positively arranged the sched-
ule by days, the following is the list
Of events which will comprise the field
and track ection: 10 meters fiat, 200
meters nat. 400 meters fiat. 500 me-
tiers fiat. $500 meters fiat, 5000 meters
flat. 1000 meters fiat. Marathon race

Quite a bit of uneasiness has been
aroused by the announcement from
Detroit that Ralph c.. Craig, intercol-
legiate. champion sprinter and Joint
holder Of the worlds record for the
200 yard dash, could not be q. candi-
date for the Olympic team. Craig is
such a we'll trained athlete that he
could readily get himself into condi-
ton with six weeks of hard work.
Without Craig the American team

athletes that the American committee
will want at least half a dozen consist
