1872 Dummies

London, Aug. tP,-J. +. Wad-
moro, manager of The British OLYMPIC
team which Just returned from the
games at Amsterdam, told an inter
viewer today that he welcomed the
allocation of the next Olympics to
the United States but though the
plan of holding them on the Pacific
coast is impracticable.
IF American authorities don't
change the venue TO somewhere on
the Atlantic coast I'm afraid they
are going TO be very much disap-
pointed with the presentation at
the next games from the Brl'isr
team as well as many other nations.
Los Angeles is too far away.
Wadmorc expressed satisfaction
with the British teams showing and
added 81 think results have proved
that the time when one nation dom
mated proceedings has gone. Almost
every country had its share of sue
ccsses at Amsterdam this year
AS regards the United States
team. I've been talking with some OF
their athletes and think there's the
impression that the strain of their
intercollegiate championships. their
national championships and tryouts
for the Olympic games proved just
shade too much. In other words
think there's a suggestion that the
United States athletes were not ir
too good condition.

nearest rival at the Olympic games
O'Connor said, II cannot refrain
from observing the alacricity with
which the English press clutches at

statements about American ships
The principal complaint seems to be
too lavish feeding" This is a rather
| unique complaint about an ocean
liner. 1t is my understanding. how.
ever, that the coaches of the Olym-
pic team, not the operators Of the
ship. are responsible for the diets Of
