a n IAMI, Fla, December s. -
M The Amateur Athletic Union
cleared the decks for the first
general session of the forty
sixth national convention today at the
Miami Biltmore Hotel by quashing a
major controversial issue, arising from
threatened efforts to revive opposition
to Americas acceptance of the invita-
ton to take full part in the 1886
Olympics in Berlin.
Convention leaders including all the
Jewish delegates, rallied to the support
of President Avery Brundage overnight
and decided to sidetrack any attempt
to make further issue of Germany's
anti-Jewish activities, in so far as they
affect athletics.
In effect this was an Endorsement Of
the decision of the American Olympic
Committee. under Brundage's leader
ship, to accept the German invitation
and removed from the agenda an issue
which threatened to split the meeting
wide open.

In spite of this. the rivalry Is just

closing contest, in which Notre
Dame carries the margin in
batkfield strength.

Second, too many years OF victory.
which always takes away the edge
after a certain length Of time.
These things seem to run their
natural courses, no matter what the
spot.
In any event, the downfall Of
Southern California and Michi-
gan came as balm to more than
one coach wavering on his job.
A year ago. one Of the big arguments
was this: Who is the greater coach
Howard Jones of U. S. c., or Harry
Kipke of Michigan"
Both had developed fine teams.
Both had proved their ability to de-
velop winning combinations. Both
had remarkable three-year records up
to 1894.
There was no questioning their abil-
ity to teach fundamentals, handle men
and put on plays.
But when the material faded out.
1t had to be a different story for these
two, just as it has been for all coaches.
