Avery Brundage, chairman OF
the American Olympic Commit
tee. was reviled for refusing to
advocate that the United States
should withdraw. Brundage
steadfastly maintained we could
accomplish more for the sake OF
sport by competing than by
withdrawing. He was right.
If anything, the OlympicS
served to bring a greater inter.
national amity than all the et'
forts of the diplomats-and that
was the primary purpose OF the
games when the first runner IN
Athens lighted the torch from
the sacred grove Of Olympia as
Q symbol Of eternal youth almost
1000 years ago.
Now an international incident
is being made over the fact that
Japan, engaged in a war with
China, which has the sympathy
of us peace-loving Americans,
has received the games for 1910.
Thus, sports are no longer
conducted for fun, and what is
most unfortunate, Americans
are entering into the game
Fundamentally. It is true we
have the right Of free speech
but when we abuse it, some
thing should be done before we
really get involved. 1t must con-
tinually be borne in mind that
any nation that countenances
war in any form, must pay the
price thereof, even in time OF
peace. And a boycott is a form
of war.

least one event over the two-day
span.
Georgetown is carded for COM
petition in six events; Maryland,
four; Catholic u, two, and Ameri-
can q. and Gallaudet, one each.
Georgetown is down for the
quarter-mile college relay and the
spring college medley Friday, and
the two-mile, the half-mile and
mile relays Saturday afternoon, in
addition to the freshman one-mile
event.
HEAVY SCHEDULE
Maryland is booked for the dis
lance college medley relay on Fri
day, and the two-mile, Class "B"
one-mile and four-mile relay events
Saturday.
Catholic U. will compete in the
special Mason and Dixon Confer.
ence mile event Saturday, as well
as the one-mile college relay.
American University and Gallau-
Diet will compete against Catholic
U. Saturday in the special Mason
and Dixon feature in their lone
starts in competition.
Only in the two-mile feature Sat
urday will Maryland and George
town run against each other, and
then, probably, may not clash in
the same heat.
Therefore, it narrows down to
Catholic University, American and
Gallaudet to provide a heavy local
competition, as all three are booked
to 60 in the lone heat in the Ma
son and Dixon special.
INSIDE POSITION
In this race, American has
drawn the pole position, with Gal
laudet in the fourth lane and the
Cards in the fifth. Others in the
race are Delaware, Johns Hopkins
and Washington College. By the
performance set in the indoor Ma
son-Dixon one-mile relay at the
c. U. indoor games the past win
ter, G. U. must be given the edge.
Delaware finished second in the
indoor event, with Randolph-Ma-
con, not entered in the Penn
games, pulling up third.
From now through Thursday
keen competition among the ath.
letes on the respective squads will
occupy the attention of the local
coaches. Long and late this week
these lads will work for lower times
to capture post on the sprint
and medley quartets.

Battle Next
Monday
By BOB ApDIE

Turner's Arena will be dark ~
night owing to the cancellation ee
the 10-round main bout between
Bobby Pacho and Werther Arcelli
because of an infected eye suffered
by the former.
Pacho informed Matchmaker
Goldie Ahearn yesterday Of his
condition, and there was not time
remaining for Goldie to bring in .
substitute.
This leaves but one more indoor
boxing show this spring, that next
Monday night between George
Abrams, Of Washington, and Irish
Jimmy O'Boyne, of Boston. This
is expected to be Abrams final
bout before he takes on Phil FurI
at the ball park in June.
The Abrams-Furr fight, inciden.
tally not yet closed, is but one Of
three major attractions being
planned for the outdoor season.
The two others involve Petey
Sarron against Lou GevinSon and
Joey Archibald against Sixto
EScobar.
Certain difficulties surround the
closing out of two of these fights.
In the Furr-Abramson 60, tenta-
lively set for June /, Furr'S mana
ger, Chris Dundee, wants Abrams
to make 155 pounds at p. m. Sid
Fishel, Abrams pilot, says George
will make no weight.
The hitch in the Gevinson-Sar-
ron fight has to do with the num-
Der Of rounds it will go. GevinSon
is holding out for 15-roundS where
as Sarron wants it to be q 10
rounder. Sarron is also asking the
bigger purse.
AS to the Escobar-Archibald
fight, no terms of any kind have
yet been completed, manager
Goldie Ahearn figuring to go to
New York Thursday to commence
negotiations with Escobar's mana
ger, Lou Brix and with Archibald's
pilot, AL WE'LL. The approximate
time for this one is late June or
early July.

In spite Of that excellent pre-.
caution by a man I consider the
high lama Of our profession and
one who writes the most pun
gent sports critiques Of our
times, I'm going to stick my
neck out.
All this is detour to the point
I wish to make. The news serv'
ices the other day carried an
item where the Anti-Nazi League
was organizing a powerful boy
colt against Max Schmeling, the
German heavyweight contender
who meets Joe Louis for the title
in June.
The dispatch, quoting officials
OF the league, seemed almost
gleeful in its tone. It may be re-
membered the same group ef.
fectively paralyzed a potential
million-dollar gate when the two
fighters first met in 1895. Now
It seems to me that this sort Of
procedure has no place in sports.
Action Unjustified
I'm not anti anything and
maybe I'm q little thick around
the ears but I can't see where
intolerance ever cured intoler-
ance. Maybe a lot Of us don't
like the way the boss man OF
Germany is running things but
why carry our bitterness to an
innocent thing like a boxing con-
test2
Granted Promoter Mike ia
cobs is inspired in his objection
to the boycott by commercial
reasons: granted also that
Scameling will take q large
chunk of money out Of this
country, minus a fair-sized kick
back to the Government, but
that still doesn't justify the al
most vicious reprisal against
Schmeling. !.
what will the league prove?
That the United States, or a
certain group of Americans
disapprove Of the megalomani-
acs ruling most of Europe?
This new liaison between
sports and politics is a danger
Gus and unhealthy one. Two
years ago certain members OF
the Amateur Athletic Union
were up in arms because the
Olympics were going to be held
in Germany. These jngoistS
even threatened to secede from
the union (the A. A. Union)
The Olympic Games were a po'
litical football; the games were
being used as propaganda and
50 forth and so forth.

Real Issue ClOuded

Sports appeal to the masses
and the United States is the
greatest sports-loving country in
the world-ergo the propagan-
dists have found it to be the
most powerful medium existing
today to reach the conscience of
the people.
I never heard Of a boycott
against Richard Tauber, the
great German tenor, when he
appeared before an enthusiastic
audience Of music lovers in New
York. That's why I'm popping
off about this business against
schmeling. Why pick on sports2
Most boxing lovers are con-
cerned whether Joe Louis can
reverse his defeat against the
German or whether the Brown
Bomber definitely is a dud. And
that should be our only concern
in this match. Wasn't it George
Washington who warned us to
keep out of foreign entangle-
ments? That advice still sounds
pretty good to me whether it's
in international or sports poll
cies. Let's keep our sports where
they belong-on the athletic
field and not the battlefield: con-
tests Of skin and not Of kill

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
5 GN.S0.-Johnny Revolta, of
Evanston, Ill, former P. G. A..
champion, and Chandler Harper,
young Portsmouth, Va, profes-
sional, will meet here today in a
18-hole play-off for the title and
first-money purse in the seventh
annual $4,000 st. Petersburg
open.
Harper, shooting two subpar
rounds yesterday, came from be-
hind to tie Revolta at the end Of
the scheduled 72-holes with an ag-
gregate of 282.
The 23-year-old Vir g nian
carded a two-under-par SO on the
morning 18, and clipped three
strokes off regulation figures on
the final 18 to overtake Revolta,
who faltered on the SO holes after
carding 69's in the first and Sec
ond rounds. Revolta carded a II

afternoon.
Third money went to Byron Mel

FARR BAT 7 E.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Gun.
mar Barlund, the Finnish import,
who upset the dope last night
when he emerged from behind the
two to one underdog odds to score
a seven-round technical knockout
over Buddy Baer, has not COM
pleted business with the Baer
family.
Today he issued a challenge to
Max Baer for a fight in the near
future, and has added the name
of Tommy Farr for good measure.
In other words Berlund is after
the loser and then the winner Of
the Baer-Farr fight which is sched-
uled in Madison Square Garden
here next Friday night.
But Paul Damski, .Barlund's
manager, has slightly altered the
plans of the humping Finn, al
though Dam skis ideas run
through the Friday nights battle
and then, if things pan out, make
directly for Champion Joe Louis
for a crack at the crown.
According to Damski, "the right
thing for Mike Jacobs to do would
be to match Gunnar with the win
ner of the Farr-Baer fight, and
the winner Of our fight with the
champ"
In last nights battle, young
Buddy Baer who scaled 24212
pounds against Barlund's 200A,
showed little of the remarkable
punching ability which he pre-
viously had displayed against Abe
Simon and Eddie Hogan in his
last two New York starts. In fact
he was tied up most of the time
and punched off balance by the
game Finn, who captured every
round from the second onward.
