ANYWHERE BUT GREECE
FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES

The Greeks are beginning to give
up hope of ever seeing an Olympic
gathering in their matchless stadium
again. The Greek Olympic committee
planned meeting in 1916. but an up
set in King Georges navy bordering
on a revolution stopped it. Plans
were under way for q meeting in
1912. hut the Balkan war has crab
Led" that also.
Now comes the hint that the Euro
can Olympic committee is opposed
to Olympic games in intermediate
years, such as the one at Athens in
1914. It IS obvious that the members
Of the International committee be-
!ieve that the meetings held in inter
mediate years will take the edge
off the interest in the regular four
Year series. This means a wait OF
some Years for the Greeks.
Paris and Rome already are men
toned for the 1920 meeting. and it
looks as though Athens is in for a
long wait, unless the Greeks go on
their own hook and run the risk of
mourning the displeasure OF the inter
national Olympic committee.
