PADDOCK CASE STAND
/ EXPLAINED BY PIERCE

NEW YORK. January 3.-State-
ments made by Gen. Palmer E. Pierce,
president of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association and vice presi-
dent OF the National Amateur Ath-
letic Federation, upon his return from
the south. have been interpreted as
a declaration that both organizations
would stand against the Amateur
Athletic Unions action against
Charles w. Paddock. California
sprinter. The A. A. u has asserted
Paddock must explain charges made
by that body before he can compete
for place on the American Olym-
pic team.
Gen. Pierce asserted that his two
organizations did not believe that
could delegate to the A. A. U. power
to certify to the eligibility of athletes
for the Olympic team. He further
declared that colleges should have
complete jurisdiction over intercolle-
Giate athletic meets. whether in this
country or any foreign country"
This right, he added, is in. serious
danger under present conditions"
Paddock, who is from the Univer-
sity Of Southern California. was sus-
pended by the A. A. U. for going to
Paris last summer and participating
in an international intercollegiate
meet which did not have the sane
ton of the A. A. u.
Gen. Pierce presided over meetings
of the N. c. A. A. in Atlanta last
week. when a resolution was adopted
criticizing the A. A. u. for it's hand
ling of the college program for the
1924 American Olympic team.

tion may be amended to permit Mrs
Molla Bjurstedt Mallory to represent
the United States in women's tennis
at Paris next summer. The Ameri-
can Olympic committee has requested
the amendment and is awaiting a
reply.
Mrs Mallory has been thought in
eligible to play for the United States
in the Olympics because she competo
ed for her native Norway in the 1872
games. The Olympic rules provide that
a player cannot compete for two coun-
tries, but Julian s. Myrick, former
president of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association, who is in charge OF
the Olympics tennis, is hopeful that
regulations will be waived In Mrs NAL
lory's parcitucular case.
Since coming to this country as
Molla Bjurstedt. Mrs. Mallory has won
the women's national cnaInploIisnip
seven times, her long reign ending
last year under the onslaughts OF Miss
Helen Wills, the Berkeley, Calf, girl
who finished second to her in the 1922
tournament. Mrs. Mallory is one of
the best woman tennis players in the
world.
There has been some talk of Mrs.
Mallory representing Norway at Paris.
but she declined to discuss any phase
of the matter. Official Norwegian
sources, however, explained that to do
so she would have to renounce the
American citizenship she acquired
when she married Franklin ]. NAL
lory and apply for reinstatement to
the Norwegian government.
Whether she will play in the Olym-
pics or not, Mrs. Mallory Will accom-
pany the American women's tennis
team abroad. With her will go Miss
Wills, Miss Eleanor Goss and Mrs.
George w. Wightman, in defense of
the Wightman cup, in addition to the
other players, and they are expected

I'VE want Mrs. Mallory to repre-

word and that she stands for our
ideals"

OLYMPIC YACHT COURSE
DISPLEASING TO BRlTONS

LONDON, January 3.-British yachts
men are dissatisfied at the decision of
the French Olympic committee to hold
all Olympic yacht races on the Seine
at Meulan.
1t is contended here that the course
suggested by the French is entirely un-
suited for boats of eight or even six
meters. 1t is further pointed out that
the Seine at Meulan varies in width
from $50 to $50 meters and that its
waters are smooth and sheltered so that
races can only be won by the boat most
fortunate in finding the f1ukes in cur
rent and breeze. In order to reach
Meulan yachts of either class must be
dismasted, towed up the river and then
ref1tted.
The British opinion regarding the un-
suitability of the proposed course Is
said to be held also by the Swedes and
the Americans.
