 general staff is mobilizing. it's ath- letic strength for a drive on the Olympic games of 1886, now that the German government, through Chancellor Adolf Hitler, has ap- proved plans for what likely will be the finest athletic plant in the world when completed.
 No sooner were the chancellor 5 ideas made known than the well regimented German sports organi- cations sent the word down the line to get out all possible talent.
 Because of it's highly organized state German athletics will be able to reach every hamlet in the Reich. Two goals are held out to the prospective competitors, the dis trict and national tryouts.
 They'll Start This Year
 According to the present plans, preliminary trials will be held fol- lowing the lines of the county meets" in America. These will be followed by state meets in which only the smaller division winners will be eligible In turn these com petitions will be enlarged to tak3 in the major divisions of the na- ton as a preliminary to the nation al tryouts.
 A staff of coaches, trainers, die titians and doctors has been sum moned to consider the problems facing a German athletic team in the Olympics and plan measures to be carried out in 1894 and 1895. It is plannd to put the competitors eligible for the national trials into summer camp early in 1884 at Ettlingen, where the team mem bers will be kept on a rigid train ing and diet schedule Ettlingen, ideally situated in Baden, was ss- lected after an investigation of other likely locations.
 All Groups Enlisted
 Coaches have already assembled there and issued a call for distance and marathon runners to appear in January for preliminary train ing orders. Up until the middle of the 1884 season tri-monthly trials will be held in every district of the reich. These win be used to get a line on an athletes general form and minimize the danger of pick ing a team member on the basis of one unusually hot" days perform ance.
 By the end of 1884 the coaches hope to have fairly good line on prospective timber which will en- able them to direct the best men in each event through light work outs during the winter and bring them rapidly into form in the ear ly 1895 competitions.
 Trainers of every sports organ ization in the nation, including the Storm Troops, Police and Reichs- wehr, have been ordered to report any exceptional athletic talent they may have in their organizations and then concentrate on the par ticular candidate to insure his rounding into best form.
 At the end of 1895 it is planned to pick the "Stamm Mannschaft, " the stem team around which the finished Olympic team can be built.
 Discussing the summer training courses in Ettlingen, the Voelkis- cher Beobachter, the organ of Adolf Hitler, said:
 "The candidates will be given a series of three-day courses under expert tutelage. During these trials the choice will be made, with at tention being paid to physical and spiritual capacities"
 What part, if any. the Jewish athletes are to be allowed to take in these preliminary training cours- ss has not yet been revealed; neith- ar has it been made clear if the ban on Jews using public sports grounds will be revoked. M
