Some EUents Entered Are
Absolutely NeLO to Yank
Athletes.

NEW YORK, March 17.-When Amerf-
can army officers were arranging the pro-
gram for the inter allied games they
sounded a clear note Of American sports
manship.
They agreed to place any event on eas
card that had two countries entered and
they went a step further by volunteering
to be the second and necessary entry In
any country's special or favorite game.
Being a good host, the Americans go
up fancy diving and walking events be-
cause they had all the points cinched
practically. They passed up American
football, because 1t was a distinctly
American sport and entered teams in the
soccer and English Rugby events.
The same spirit of "meet you at shy
game you say" is to be the paramount
feature in Americas drive for victory
In the Olympic games. Our desire Is
to enter teams in every event, though
In many OF them we haven't a chance
TO win" 9. 7. Kirby, president OF the
American Olympic committee said to-
day. The hockey contests, in which
America has just cabled an entry, is
thought to be one II these sacrifices.
Il don't believe we have a show, but
were going In Just the same, like We
are In every event." he said
Even down to the gymnastic contests.
events which Uncle Sam has side
stepped in the past, the American shields
viii appear on white jerseys if the ca
diets of West Point or the Annapolis
midshipmen are given a furlougn and
allowed to compete"
II some entry blanks are not received
soon, Uncle Sam can be barred from
the early events on a technicality.
