Charley Paddock's amateur status.
Gen. Pierce sept the following tele-
gram to Gen. Douglas Macarthur, chair
man Of the Olympic committee, just
before he sailed with the team.
Press credits you with statement
that Olympic committee Is without
jurisdiction TO decide status Of athlete

games since this authority is vested in
governing body of the sport in which
athlete completes In this connection
your attention is invited to the fact
that National Collegiate Athletic AS
ISOLATION does not admit that Amateur
Athletic Union is a national sports
governing body with authority over
college athletics.
1T adopted a resolution that the
American Olympic Association has COM
plete jurisdiction over all matters per-
tanning 10 representation OF united
States in Olympic games as provided
for in article two of its constitution. In
discussion Of the resolution it was
brought out that colleges believed the
selection of worthy representatives Of
