"Other countries think differently,
however, some indemnifying their
representatives literally for losses

Without such indemnity they could
find no team to represent them, they
say. This may be true, but it con-
Stitutes an unfair advantage. Never
theless there should be an interna-
tional definition of the word amateur.
We want to coin 1t before the next

Commenting on the unexpected
showing made by the American O1ym-
pic soccer team, Peel said:
Many were opposed to sending the

Soccer is more truly international

the American temperament. 1t has

game for business men and older peo-
pie generally. So it is in Great
Britain and so it is getting to be else
where.
THE one great misfortune about
American athletics is that they are
reserved almost exclusively to school
boys. Older men need exercise also,
particularly in a hard working coun-
try like the United States. Golf has
saved American manhood. / am con-
vinced that without it there might
have been a general nervous break

International Definition of 'An,ateur" Is Sought
COACHES WOULD END
HIGH JUMP "DIVING"

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Mass, May 31.-Steps to
eliminate the diving or so-called
western roll" style Of high jumping
among candidates for the American
Olympic team, as a result of its re-
cent protest by French athletic off,
cials. have been taken by the Associa-
tior of College Track Coaches.
This type of jumping, whose expo
nents include such stars as Harold
Osborne, world indoor record holder,
and d. v. Alberts, both of Chicago,
has been a subject of controversy for
seme time. Recently 1t resulted in
formal action by France to have the
council of the International Olympic
Committee determine its legality, and
though it was indicated the protest
would not be sustained. American
coaches feel that every effort should
be made to avoid the hour
disputes which would hamper the
chances Of Yankee victory at Paris.
The coaches believe that most of
the jumpers affecting a diving style
over the bar can, by comparatively
slight practice, alter their form to
avoid possible question. To formu-
to the 1. c. A. A. A. A. and the ANA
teur Athletic Union, as athletic gov
erning bodies, the coaches named a
composed of Keene Fitz-
patrick of Princeton, Walter Christie
of California and Lawson Robertson
of Pennsylvania, the latter two head
Olympic coaches. They will meet to-
morrow to take definite action.
The coaches also decided to recon-
mend substitution of white lines for
the roped-off sprint lanes in the fu-
ture, and advised against the proposal
to eliminate the thirty-f1ve-pound
weight throw from the 1. c. A. A.
A. A indoor championship.
John F. Moakley, veteran cornell
coach, was elected president of the
association to succeed Thomas F.
Keane of Syracuse. John Ryder of
Boston College was named vice presi-
dent and Harry l.. Hillman of Dart
mouth, secretary and treasurer. The
new board of governors includes
Walter Christie of California, Keene
Fitzpatrick of Princeton and Lawson
Robertson of Pennsylvania for two
year terms, and c. F. Sely of Will
iiams, Thomas F. Keane of Syracuse
and Steve Farrell Of Michigan for
one-year terms.
