PASSIVE RESISTANCE TO
A. A. U. OLYMPIC CONTROL
National Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton Withdraw: From Ameri-
can Association

New York, Dec. 81 (P,--A policy of
only passive resistance" to alleged
control of Americas participation in
the 1928 Olympic meet by the A. A.
L. has been decided upon by the
National Collegiate Athletic associa-
ton, which yesterday followed the
lead Of the National Amateur Attn
letic Federation in Withdrawing from
the American Olympic association.
Nevertheless, it was the expressed
belief of Brig. General Palmer f.
Pierce, president of the N. c. A. A.,
that "the A. A. u. cannot succeed in
it's efforts to perpetuate its system of
control upon amateur sports" De-
scribing it as "un-American, he
maintained that athletics have be-
come too completely organized 10 re-
quire that athletes should sign regis
tration cards and pay fees to the A.
a. L. before they can compete in
the Olympic games.
Referring to alleged misbehavior
at the 1912 meet in Stockholm, F.. J..
Mercer of Swarthmore, competitor,
said there was TOO much gambling
among the athletes" as well as
drunkenness X after they had
finished participation in their par
ticular events"
The n. C. A. A. represents some
500 colleges and universities, but ex-
ercises no specific control over their
activities

DOYLE BAT Ties

Intesnatlenal Ns,ss eeESIss.


LONDON March 6sr-4ff a lllgll
Conan DOYLE. 2ysaU recently opened
e .Psychic Museum and Sir Ar
thur Keith, the famous scientist,
are engaged In controversy if-
volvfng the authenticity Of one Of
Conan Doyie,s spiritualistic exhibits.
This exhibit is glove made Of
paraffin, which Conan Doyle says
came off the hand of an ectoplasmic
figure formed from Polish banker
named KIuski. Sir Arthur Keith
says that Conan Doyle's glove is
nothing OF the kind, and that he
KeithD has produced similar gloves
in the laboratory OF the Royal Col.
lege OF Surgeons.
Explaining how the glove in his
museum came to exist, Conan Doyle
says: Let US take the facts as
recorded in the journal of the In.
stitute Metapsychique which is the
organ OF that body-a scientific and
not a spiritualistic institution In
Paris.
First OF all we will take the
fact that the report of what oc-
Cured was signed by Charles
Richef, professor Of physiology az
Geley, who was the head OF the
institute, and OF European reputa-
ton, and finally by the Count de
Grammont, an experienced investi.
gator-none Of the three a professe6
Spiritualist.
Asks Fair Answer
'.They observed what occurred
under fair red light, and all were
agreed as to their observation.
Their scientific reputation depended
on the truth of their statement.
Now ask for a fair answer to
this question. Were these three
men deliberately and senselessly
lying? 1 will assume that the
answer is no.
Then the only alternative is
that they were deceived. Let US
see IL that is creditabIe. They had
locked the door and as the room
was their own there was no secret
entrance.
when Kluski, who is a Polish
banker, had sunk Into a trance,
and when the ectoplasmic figure
was formed from his, 1t was asked
to dip its hands into a pail which
contained warm paraffin. All the
UDSSiNCtb %" II w SVp ohA WI
trolfed the medium at the same
time.
Called Proof Positive
when the wax had encrusted
the hands of the phantom, 1t was
asked to disappear. 1t did so
leaving the wax gloves which had
formed over its hands upon the
table. The wax gloves. as anyone
can see for. themselves, are In one
solid piece, and are much narrower
at the wrist than across the hand
How. then. could the hand have
been withdrawn save by dematerial
ization inside the glove. No one
has ever yet suggested any feasible
way in which this could have
ITO show the care taken by tho
| researchers. Geley had put choles
| tine in the pail of wax. An inde
pendent chemist analyzed a portion
of the glove and reported choles
tine. This. Of coarse, is proof posi-
tive that the glove was not broughj
ready.made into the room"

Doyle's statements, denies that j
is impossible to remove a paraffiT
