Olympic athletes to the games this
year and priority orders of accom-

ing to a statement issued yesterday
by the Olympic committee.
In speaking of the quality of food
given the athletes in Belgium,
which was complained of also by
members of the team, the report
says:
The conditions alike as to food
and quarters were at least equal to
those afforded our soldiers and sail
ors during the war although they
were not what was expected by the
committee and were not desirable
for highly trained athletes fresh
from their tryouts and final con-
tests and for whom quiet quarters
and the maintenance of partial
training were necessary"
The committee praised the show
ing of the. Yankee competitors and
their records made at the games
The committee also declared the
spirit shown at the last games was
better than any which ever prevailed
