STILL AN AMATEUR,
SAYS JESS OWENS
Sprint Star Eager to Make
Up With A. A. U. Gets Biq
Pay as Musician.
BY WILLIAM WEEKES,


~ HCAGO, JAN 6.-Jesse Owens,
hero of the 1886 Olympic
games, who has done all right
~ for himself financially since
reaching a parting of the ways with
the Amateur Athletic Union, may run
and jump for medals and glory again
He is going to ask the A. A. U. to
restore his amateur standing by lifting
his suspension imposed after he de-
clined to visit Sweden for a post
Olympic exhibition trip two summers
ago. He hopes out loud that his ap-
plication will be granted in time for
crack at earning place on the team
which will represent Uncle Sam in the
1910 games scheduled for Japan.
The former Ohio State University
negro who earned the title Of worlds
fastest-as well as irnberest-human"
by setting world broad Jump, sprint
and low hurdles records and collecting
four gold medals at Berlin In 1886,
wasn't much concerned over getting in
dutch with the A. A. U. Tor quite q
while. because he was too busy squeez-
ing dividends from his fame. Lately,
though. his feet have been itching for
competition.

ton in many years, and with them
the Hilltop team shapes up as the
strongest aggregation ever put on the
links by the Jesuit fathers of George
town.
THE two lads are Billy Shea. the
lanky Washington boy who holds
the District and Middle Atlantic
championships. and Johnny Burke.
the chunky Rhode Island kid who
holds, his State amateur title. Hold
overs from last years varsity COM
bination are Billy Dettweiler. Harvey
johnson, the lad with the big dogs,
who holds the Columbia Country Club
title; Charlie Pettijohn and Bob Ef1er.
They make up six-man team which
shapes UPON paper at least-as the
strongest college links outfit in the
East and possibly in the country.
They look much stronger than the
good team which Maurice j. Nc
Carthy headed in 1927. when the
former metropolitan amateur champ
was campaigning around Washington.
John Burke probably will play No.
on the Hoya team. The Rhode Island
champ Is regarde dby the boys them
champ as the top performer. although
Shea might have something to say
about that.
R1LLY IS very good golfer, as a
lot OF ambitious college golfers
are going to find out this year: kid
who has everything 1t takes to win
championships. and one who can de-
velop into a national figure If he lets
his swing alone and doesn't expert
ment. Billy is as close to a natural
golfer as Washington has seen in
many a year. He's pretty close to the
Roland Mackenzie Of 1924 and we're
not so sure he isn't as good as Roland
was in those days.
John Burke and Billy Dettweiler
met in the second round Of the ma
tional amateur championship at Bos-
ton in 1884. Billy won the match on
the third extra hole. but both the boys
were away down there around par
And now they will play on the same
college team, but probably not as part
ners. Burke and Pettijohn have been
playing as partners 50 long they'll
probably stick together in college. Sc
will Shea and Dettweiler, who have
been q successful best-bau combination
around the Congressional Country Clut
for q couple of years.
We can think Of softer guys to meet
in a golf match than Burke and Petit
John and Shea and Dettweiler.
That quartet shapes up as the
hottest bunch Of kids playing college
golf in the East. If Georgetown could
tie for the Eastern League title last
year without Burke and Shea bunting
the ball down the fairway, you car
figure out what they'll do with those
two in there doing their stuff. Any
way you figure it, Geofgetown's gol1
team looms as the team to lick II
college golf this year.

sofa director of athletics, again will
head a committee of his own selec-
ton and formulate plans for a three
year campaign. Mccormick headed
the N. c. A. A. Finance Committee
IN 1886, and raised more than SEC, 900
That was the colleges greatest con.
tribution to the Olympic excheuuer.
1t is McCormick's hope that for the
1910 games the colleges can con-
tribute 100000 or more.
At all odds, the Olympic Associa-
ton wants to avert the situation
that developed in 1886, when the
University of Washington crew found
itself without finances, after winning
the right to represent the United
States, and was obliged to resort to
public subscriptions.
The Olympic Association has a
small balance on hand and by spread
ing q well-devised campaign over
three years hopes to have adequate
finances by the summer of 1910 and
eliminate the necessity of any public
appeal for assistance.

group has nominated Rack Eckman

and John L. Griffith, Western Con-

president of the N. C. A. A. The
other new members will come from

ticipating in the Olympic Games.
Starts Early on Funds.
A FTER appointing the various games
committees, the Olympic Asso-
ciation will plan ways and means OF
raising money to finance the Ameri-
can teams to Toxic or Helsingfors
In the past the association always
waited until Olynpiad year to stage
its financial campaign and in severa
instances was hard pressed to raise
funds sufficient to equip adequately
and transport our representatives.
Now the association intends start
ing three-year campaign in which
to obtain the necessary S35O,0oo. Nu-
merous methods have been suggested
and will be discussed at this weeks
meetings. One proposal is that each
sport, track and field, wrestling
swimming, ETC., raise the funds neces-
sary to defray its expenses by taxing
each meet sponsored by the A. A. U.
or colleges.
