PROTEST BEFORE
/ FULL CONVENTION
Executive Committee Won't
Recommend Resolution
Banning Games.
BY ANDY CLARKE,
Associated Press stan Writer.

N YEW YORK, December TN
nj an atmosphere of tension, the
" open assembly of the ANA
a teur Athletic Union met to-
day to debate the question Of Amer
ican participation in the 1896 olympic
games, scheduled to be held in Nazi
Germany.
The A. A. U. Executive Committee,
after arriving at a Stalemate yester-
day over a strongly worded resolution
opposing participation, voted, 10 to 5,
to refer the resolution to the conven-
ton today without recommendation. "
The committees stalemate on the
resolution occurred when Daniel j.
Ferris, secretary treasurer, refrained
from voting.
After referring the resolution to the
convention, both factions gathered
their forces for lobbying that lasted
late last night. There were tndica-
tions the factions favoring participa-
tion would move that the opposing
resolution be tabled today and a less
vigorous substitute adopted.
A close vote was expected, with
those opposed to participation gath
ering most of their strength from
delegates from the East and South.

r EGARDLESS of the outcome, how
ever, Avery Brundage of Chicago,
president of the American Olympic
Committee, insisted an American team
would be sent abroad. Brundage said
the proceedings thus far were not dis
appointing to him and charged those
opposing participation with playing
politics.
Participants in the movement to
block American participation in the
Olympic games have polluted amateur
sport" he said.
Regardless of the conventions ac-
ton we'll send a full team to Ger
many. With the cooperation Of the
athletes themselves we can raise the
money. Some of the teams already
have raised their own funds"
Brundage said failure of the con-
vention to ratify American partici-
patton would result in collapse of the
A. A. U.
Eighty per cent of the A. A. o.
athletics are college boys or ex-eolle-
gians, and they won't tolerate this

Look to Public Opinion.

OTHERS, however, said they be-
ueved that if the convention
voted against participation it would
touch off a wave of opposition that
might win enough support from pub
lie opinion to result in withdrawal of
the United States from the Berlin
games.
President jeremiah T. Mahoney,
leader of the forces opposed to par
ticipation, declared that regardless of
the stand of the convention the A. A.
U. would certify athletes who sought
to enter the games. Earlier, Brundage
said the American Olympic Commit
tee would certify the athletes if the
A. A. U. decided to maintain hands
of policy.
The resolution under question not
only opposed sending American ath-
1etes to Berlin, but also charged that
Germany repeatedly has violated the
Olympic code and has shown discrimi-
nation against Catholics as well as
Jews.

IF QUINN'S offer is accepted by the

racing with base ball, does not intend

Quinn, however, will encounter 9TH

learned that other interests are pre-

Boston club, which, during last sea
