 ntended for transhipment into Ger many.

STATUS IF ATHLETES
 BE SETTLED

NEW YORK, Dec. 28. -- The con- certed effort made in this city today by the governing bodies in all branch es of sport to reach a mutual under standing relative to the amateur sta tus of competitors is expected by many to be the most important ath- letic meeting held in the last decade. Every portion of the country is af~ fected and interested, and any deci- sion that may be arrived at will be far-reaching.
 So many sided is the subject mat ter in hand that many believe it will be impossible to approach it's many angles at one conference, and that some kind of committee will have to be appointed to report later, after every viewpoint has been thoroughly considered.
 While the Amateur Athletic Union specifically defines an amateur, it's application constantly has been a thorn in the side of athletics, and mo- thing would be more welcomed than a clearing up of the question and a ruling made that could be made to stick" when occasion arises to make use of it.
