COACHES TODAY

NEW YORK, March 21.-Sec-
tional disputes are expected to take
place today when the executive
committee of the American Olympic
Committee meets at the New York
Athletic Club to name the head
coach, assistant coaches, managers,
trainers, ETC.. who win accompany
the American Olympic team to
Amsterdam in July.
Al bone of contention has arisen
this year between the East and the
Middle West. Each has its favorita
son, and the difficulty will be de-
Gliding whether Jack Ryder, Boston
College coach, will be selected to
replace Alonzo Stage, Of the Uni
yersity Of Chicago, as coach Of the
middle-distance runners, or whether
it will be Harry Gill, OF the Uni
versity Of Illinois, rated the best
middle.distance coach in the West.
The only point on which every.
body il unanimous is the selection
of Lawson Robertson, Of the Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania, as head
coach OF the Olympic team for the
third successive Olympiad.

1t will be master against fol-
lower tonight when Joe
Turner, the veteran mailman,
wrestles Claude Grisby in the
feature of the Jewish Com
munity Center athletic night.
The indicated Jewish Community
Center boxers will oppose the Bal

pions. The show will get underway
at $50 o'clock and is open to mem
bers Of the Jewish Community Cen

Turner is the wrestling coach
at the Jewish Community Center
and one sof his pupils is the gritty
Grigsby, who lifted himself 70
nationwide recognition last fall by
his luminous playing as center
and captain of the Georgetown
University gridiron team. Turner
has been teaching Grigsby and the
latter has gained knowledge. that
would have required years Of
actual competition on the mat.
Grigsby does not intend to
20 i'm the mat sport only as
method to keep I'm condition.
He Is q WelI-buiIt athlete with
powerful arms and shoulders
and wrestling permits him to
keep his muscles from becOm-
ing taunt. He is also a fine
swimmer and is a life guard
during the summer days at one
Of the Chicago beaches.
Athletic Director Jim Mcnamara
has arranged six attractive boxing
bouts and someone's unblemished
record is to be smirched as neither
team has lost dual match. The
Baltimoreans win show several
boxers who appeared at the City
