BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n IEW YORK, June 1.-Americans
M should realize right now that
the tenth Olympiad, so far as
their country is concerned, is
in a precarious situation.
If collections CT the projected $780,
900 fund required to pay expenses fer
the American athletes do not imme-
diately improve, very radical change
will have to be made in the plans of
the American Olympic Committee
This committee has already faced the
growing crisis through its notification
of the 20 sports committees that teams
which will represent this Nation at Los
Angeles must be reduced. The extent
of this reduction was not specified
But in view of existing conditions it
is certain-provided the outlook does
not improve-that the reduction will
be heavy.
INDEED, one may not be too sure
that money will be in hand to send
even skeleton squads of representa-
tives Of many sports to the West Coast
OF the necessary Sum-S350 000-not
$4,000 has yet been raised throughout
the country. The depression in some
measure accounts for this. But more
largely the urdoubted fact must be &C
cepted that the United States is not
Olympic conscious. Just why is diff
cult to say. The games have been
sufficiently advertised and competition
in Winter and Spring meetings has
never been so thrilling or more pro-
ductive of great achievement. None
the less, it is apparent that national
feeling is not enlisted in this great
international meeting of the world S
greatest athletes in all registered sports
California is doing her part, doing
1t lavishly and we'll But she cannot
do it all And it is wholly unfair to
say that they have been inspired solely
by sectional pride out there There is
national feeling too, and a lot of it.
And they deserve much heartier CO.
operation than the national public has
accorded to date.

the Olympic Committee receives replies
to questions sent broadcast to various
committees throughout the country al

HIGH JUMP CHAMPS.

Only once has this country failed to
capture this Olympic specially. AT
Athens, in 1906. our boys must have
been off their feed. The winner was
an Irish lad, Leahy, at feet 97s
inches, and the best American jump
was feet rs inches, for third place
The United States captured at least
three places in every other Olympiad
1912 Saw Best Fight.
THE most dramatic battle for the
i Olympic high jump medal was in
1912, at Stockholm. where Alma
Richards, giant Utah and Cornell star,
beat the great Californian and favorite,
George HORNE. who had set the world
record at feet inches.
Richards. HORNE and LeiSche, the
German, were the three finalists. With
the bar at 6 feet 3 inches, Leische
cleared easily on his first try. HORNE
failed in three attempts. Richards
missed his first two tries, then with a
mighty effort, got over on his last
chance. He went on to win at feet
3's inches.
Spitz has all high jumping records
at his mercy. Only 90 he now holds
the world indoor mark at a fraction
higher than Osborn's outdoor record
He was beaten in the national cham
plonsnlpS last year. among others, by
Anton Burg, but has improved steadily
since then. However, some questic;:
still exists as to his ability to do as
well outdoors as of the springie boards

OLYMPIC VICTORY
APPEARS CERTAIN
Spitz Favorite, but Several
Others in Running-Lone
Foreign Threat.
BY ALAN GOULD,

DRODIGAL with lads who

States can afford to enter
the OlympicS without the cham
pion or the world record holder
ard still be an oddS-on favorite
to win the running high jump.
Harold Osborn, the Illinois school,
master who won the 1924 Olympic title
and still holds the world outdoor mark
OF feet 81. inches, no longer can keep
pace with younger rivals. Good-natured
Bob King, the winner at Amsterdam in
1928, is too busy with his medical
studies at Northwestern to remain in
competition.
Spitz Appears Enough.
DESPITE these unfortunate develop
- ments, the U. S. A. has a phe-
nomenal tavorite in George Spitz,
lanky New York boy, who leaped feet
8l2 inches indoors and consistently
scared over the cross bar last Winter
around feet inches. There are at
least a half dozen others capable of
clearing 6-6, which is equal to Osborn's
olympic record.
Springing from the California soil
that has produced so many exceptional
high jumpers, it would not be surprls-
ing to see America duplicate her
achievement of 1912. when six of the
seven jumpers in the final standing

OPINION IN LONDON
EXPECTS PAYMENT
First Reaction, However, In
dorSes Governments Debt
Arguments.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 2.-The first re-
action to Great Britains second note
to the United States urging postpone
ment and revision of war debt pay
men,j indorsed the governments argu-
ments.
All shades Of political opinion were
represented in reactions published to-
day. What attitude would finally be
taken by the American Congress was
the main subject of conjecture.
Official quarters were silent on this
point as well as Great Britain's final
decision in case the latest arguments
we're turned down across the Atlantic.
There was growing belief, however,
that the government would pay the
S95 $4,000 due December Is. and pay
in gold, if the United States insisted in
payment.
Editorial writers especially sought to
press home the idea that dire results
would follow the rejection of the plea
contained in the two notes that have
gone to Washington. In varying Ian
guage. they foresaW world chaos, ruin
and cataclysm if debt payments were
continued
The publication Of the British debt
note only slightly affected the pound
sterling on the sterling-dollar exchange
today. AT first the rate improved to
3.2414, but eased to 3.2334 around noon.
The Stock Exchange similarly reacted
but slightly, conditions remaining quiet
and steady. The gilt-edge security is

point. while transatlantic securities ad-
justed themselves to overnight Wall

would be payment in gold. Such q
method of payment would involve the
sacrifice of consides able part of the
gold reserves of the Bank of England
which are widely regarded as no more
than sufficient for the responsibilities OF
London as financial center.
26. His majesty's government trust
that the full statement of their views
which they have now made will demon
strate clearly the ground upon which
their request was based; namely, their
own profound conviction that resump-
ton Of the war debt payments as they
existed before the Hoover moratorium
would inevitably deepen the depression
in world trade and would lead to further
falls in commodity prices with discs
trous consequences from which no ma
ton would be exempt They believe
that a discussion between the Unned
States Government and themselves upon
these matters might bear fruitful ISSUE
for revival of world prosperity. They
are convinced that the prospects of sue
cess would be materially improved By
the postponement of the December in
stallment and they are prepared to con-
slider with the Government Of the
United States Of America any manner
in which that Dostponement might be
most conveniently arranged.
