Sure She Can Beat Anybody.

IT WOULD like to challenge the win
ner of the backstroke champion
ship because I am sure I can beat
anybody in the world" said the girl
who hasn't been beaten in competi-
ton in seven years.
The final development in the Jar
rett case," however, far from settled
the issue from the swimmers stand
point, at least. At first she was tear
fully on the verge of running for the
first boat home, but she quickly re-
gained her composure and hopefully
weighed an assortment Of offers to
capitalize on the well-publicized stu.
alton.
DR.. Raycroft discounted Mrs. jar
rett's criticism of the general conduct
of the team, but admitted there were
some shipboard problems which the
Olympic Committee itself was power
less to anticipate. He answered spe-
cially her question as to why, knowing
of her past performances and her
admission that she liked gay life,
she wasn't disbarred from getting on
the boat.
The committee had nothing to do
with the status of any athlete before
hand" DR.. Raycroft said. "All We
could do was accept certiflcation Of
the sports governing body, in this case
the Amateur Athletic Union"
Not Ready to Turn Pro.
MRS. JARRETT spent another day
A'A answering long-Gistance tele-
phone calls. receiving cablegrams
from all parts of the world and weigh
ing offers which included a PROPOSE
tion to report the Olympic games for
an American syndicate and another
to take part in a British motion pic
ture.
She insisted she doesn't want to
turn professional, for the time being at
least, or otherwise do anything that
would jeopardize her amateur stand
ing.
1t appears highly doubtful, how
ever, whether she would ever compete
as an amateur again whether or not
she accepts any offers here, or remains
here through the games or returns
home.
The general attitude among Amer
ican bystanders, while apparently
sympathetic, was they had heard
enough of the Jarrett case" and felt
the time had arrived to concentrate
on Olympic sports instead of internal
squabbles. The athletes were too busy
getting organized to waste much time
on further sympathy for their for
mer teammate.
Nazi Minister of Propaganda DR..
Paul Joseph Goebbels' official mouth
piece, Der Angriff, commenting on the
Jarrett situation, said:
"She probably didn't believe they
could disqualify her, but she thought
wrong. 1t wasn't herself who mattered.
1t was the others-and discipline.
For that no sacrifice is too great no
matter how many tears shed"

~ ERLIN, July 25.-Eleanor Holm
- Jarrett heard taps sounded to
her Olympic swimming career
- today and then countered with
q bitter verbal broadside at officials
of the American Olympic Committee.
Charges Of misconduct on board the
S. S. Manhattan en- route to Berlin
which led to her dismissal from the
team, were hurled back at officials by
the shapely 22-year-old New York
aquatic speedster.
Militantly defending her own be-
havior, Eleanor charged officials "dis-
graced" and "misconducted" them
selves on shipboard and that "at least
100" other athletes were guilty of
infractions of training rules during
the nine-day ocean voyage.
She loosed her attack. in TOO
word prepared statement, after her
last hope of reinstatement vanished
when her name formally was with
drawn from the 100-meter backstroke
years ago.
Among the officials she named Gus
tavus T. Kirby. New York attorney
and treasurer of the American Olym-
pic Committee. At mock marriage
and mock trial. "ostensibly given as
an entertainment feature" she de-
clared, Kirby $50 handled the dialogue

With reference to her own imbibing,
Mrs. Jarrett said officials knew before

she said there was no general rule
against drinking among athletes, that
the bar was open daily and nightly
In two sections in which the athletes
were quartered, and that ION at least
one occasion the bar didn't close until
well after midnight"
Under such conditions how did the
American Olympic Committee think
1t could maintain such absolute dis
cipline as it appeared to desire or con-
demn me because l was unwilling to
make secret of the fact that I like
champagne" she asked.
Supporting her claim that there
were other offenders among the ath-
1etes, Mrs. Jarrett charged. "it is we'll

American team that Brundage (Avery

Olympic Committee), not only warned

All Against Swimmer,

MRs. JARRETTs statement failed
to move Brundage to alter his
decision. Likewise, he refused to
answer her charges specifically since
Kirby was in Hamburg. He did, how
ever. disclose the shipboard procedure
which led to her disbarment.

special meetings of the American
Olympic Committee aboard the Man

Jarretts condition and behavior in
public.
We were severely criticized by
passengers and members of the
Olympic party for not taking drastic
action at once in view of the serious
offenSe. At the second meeting more
than an hour was devoted to ascer-
tanning the facts as to reports that
Mrs. Jarrett, occupying a room with
two young swimmers, could not be
aroused by the team physician and
the ship doctor.
There was no difference Of opinion
among q score of leaders in college
athletics and their decision was unani-
NOUS.
This team of nearly 400 athletes
was the best behaved squad ever sent
abroad, and it is most unfortunate
that this unpleasant affair should
arise to mar an otherwise admirable
Journey.

make"
A. A. U. Custer Suggested.
Pr UNDAGE nevertheless, was
shocked by the swimmers state
ment. He was agitated over the dis
covery that the bar in the athletes

dent insisted that orders had been
given to close the bar soon after first
reports Of drinking by team members
were received, but it developed such
orders weren't carried out even If
issued.
Despite all possible pressure brought
to bear by her friends, including
petition signed by more than 200 ath-
letes requesting her reinstatement, the
Olympic Committee did not waver
from its original stand against Mrs.
Jarrett.
There was little question at any
time that the official viewpoint might
be changed. but so sharp was the re-
action tonight to the swimmers blast
that Brundage suggested that it was
time for the Amateur Athletic Union
Is the president, to take up the stu
alton and consider asking Mrs. Jarrett
to turn in her amateur card.

Jarrett by DR.. Joseph E. Raycroft Of
