CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-Avery Brun-
dage, president of the United States
Olympics Association, today ques-
toned whether Russia would par
ticipate in the 1948 Olympics at
London and sharply criticized a
European campaign to relax anna

Commenting on a report that Brit

permit cash reimbursements to ath-

AS for Russia's Olympic status,
Brundage asserted that country, "at

International Amateur Athletic
Federation and affiliated groups as
required for Olympic competition.
Some 20 international federations,
one for each Olympic competition,

Joe Turner Funeral
SET for Friday; Son
May Be Promoter

Funeral services for Joe Turner,
who died yesterday, will be held
Friday morning at 10 o'clock at
Hines funeral home, 2901 Fourteenth
street NV. Burial will be at Cedar
Hill Cemetery.
The former wrestling champion
and veteran Washington sports pro-
moter died at Doctors Hospital after
a long illness just one day after his
62d birthday anniversary.
The wrestling show originally
scheduled for tonight at Turner's
Arena has been Cancelled. Definite
plans as to the future of Turner's
sports promotion business have not
been announced, but friends of the
family said that very likely his
widow, Mrs. Florence Turner, and his
son, Joe Turner, jr., would carry on.
In recent years Turner had de-
veloped a well-knit organization at
the Arena. Lease on the sports
plant at Fourteenth and w streets
NV, still has about six years to run.
The Office staff includes Benny
Robinson and Nat Proctor, Gabe
MenendeZ, boxing matchmaker, and
Dave Herman, publicity
The supply of wrestlers for the
weekly shows comes from the Toots

Pros After Signing

ABILENE, Tex, Feb. 19.-Warren
B Woodson, coach Of Hardin-Sim-

at professional football today for
signing college players before they
had completed their eligibility.
Declaring "if we let this type OF
bidding for college players continue
before the student is through with
his education, we might as well de-
clare a moratorium on our football" !"
Woodson charged that professional
scouts had even interviewed mem
bers of his team on the days OF I'M

Woodson's blast came two days
after announcement that his star

had signed contract to play with
the Baltimore Colts of the All-Amer-

Woodson asserted that Earl

Every man has to subtract,

patterns.
Fresh as Paint-You're decorating
your dickey collars with textile
paints, or you're buying dickies that
come with jitterbug figures already
printed on them. When you do the
job yourself, you prefer pretty flow
ers with sequin or two for sparkle.
