by Syracuse players and fol-

"SuCh charges we're broad

and were accepted as bases for
derogatory comments in in
Ihuential newspapers and mag

These charges are serious

They have damaged the repu-
tation of this university, of a
fine football team and of inter-
collegiate athletics generally.
After exhaustive investigation,
4 am convinced that the
charges are irresponsible, false
and slanderous."
Wilson said he hoped the
committee which investigated
the charges would include COM
Ipetent football coaches and

from their nations. In the cases
Of Britain and the United
States, this also means f1nanc-
ing the teams by popular sub
scription. Many other govern
ments pick up the tab.
An organizing committee Is
set up each four years in the
nation which is holding the
games. 1t is responsible for all
details of the games under the
rules as laid down by the IOC
and the federatior1s.
= ,
PreSsures on the Olympic
committees are terrific. Many
Of the problems they have to
wrestle with battle the politi-
cal world. 1t is only because
they resist political entangle-
ments in every way possible
that they accomplish the real
ly remarkable results they do.
Once in a while they are
caught in a trap, as in the
Chinese question. Obviously.
Formosa does not and should
not represent China.
1t is popular to take potshots
at Avery Brundage, President
of the IOC. He is a blunt, Un-
compromising sort of guy, ded-
icated to the Olympic amateur
ideal in sports.
I've known Avery since we
were on the 1919 Olympic
track team. He was a darned
good pentathlon and decathlon
man. A very successful busi-
ness man, he has dedicated his
life to Olympic and amateur
sports. Sometimes even con-
servative and usually sympa-
thetic sports writer's speak Of
his ideals as the never never"
land of amateurism, but if it
weren't for men like Avery and
a host of others who are bear
ing the brunt of our amateur
athletic programs, there would
be no Olympic Games.
An approach of professional
athletics would kill the Games
as surely as Rome's approach
finished the ancient Olympic
Games in 394 AID.
