OLYMPIC
SHOULD Be REVIVED

CHICAGO. March 9.-Charles A.
Dean, former president Of the Ma
tionaI A A. u, said today that it Is
time to plan renewal Of the olympics-
There never win be a better time
for the International meet than with
in the next eighteen months" he
said. Army athletes from all eoun7
tries afford q big field from which to
choose entries And people Of all
nations are interested in clean sport
as never before The war aid t."
Dean does not favor the plan Of
holding the olympies regularly in
one city. such as Rome.
Directing events in the A. A. u.
and in the Central A A U.," he said,
'I have found more interest among
athletes and sport followers when the
meets were scattered. This should be
even more important for the
Olympics. Hold them in different
countries. Give more people q chance
TO see them, more youngsters a chance
for hero worship, and stir up their
desire Of emulation. The Olymptes
can be one of the most potent build
ers of physically powerful peoples,
something the world war has demon
strated as desirable"
