GOULD | (Associated Press Spor‘ Editor) New York, Dec. 20.—(#). -When the American Athletic argosy sails forth next July for another attack on European strongholds at the Olympic games in Amsterdam, Hol- Jand, the destiny and strategy of the track and field host will be in the hands of the veteran University of Pennsylvania coach, Lawson hertson. , An old-time sprinter himself and Jong recognized as one of the coun- trys foremos. developers of ath- letic talent, Robertson will be in complete charge of the team, as head coach. While his selection will not formally be made until the American Olympic Committee meets early next year, it is assured, to all intents and pu.poses, by the action of the Amateur Athletic Union, which governs track and field sports and controls the Olympic or- ganization. No Dual Control i The return toa single Oylmpic fhead coach supplants the arrange- ment of dual control, tried out in 1924, when Robertson and Walter Christie, of the University of Calis fornia, shared the responsibilities. As head of the coaching staff, Robertson follows in the footsteps of another famous Pennsylvania mentor, the late Mike Murphy, who Jed American teams to brilliant tri- umphs in the Olympics before the war. Robertson holds more to practical ideas than theories in connection with his prospective job of moulding together as a unit the cream of American athletes. Here are the rival coaches, the rival captains ahd one of the outstandi take part in the coming California-Pennsylvania grid game at Berke’ Hake, of Pennsylvania, and Coach Nibs Price and Captain Fritz Coltrin.

To do so more than likely would handicap rather than help him.” Robertson looks for the United States to have as keen a contest as it ever has had in next year's international games. Germsry, particularly, he be- lieves, will constitute a distinct and dangerous new threat, in addition to which America can figure on at least as keen competition as before from Finland, Sweden and Eng- Jand, our three main rivals in 1924. Norsk Scrapper Kayos German Boxer Before $50,000 Charity Mob Chicago, Dec. 20.—() — Two European heavyweights clashed in Toronto, Dec. 20.—(?)—Frenchy Belanger of Toronto had the fly- weight championship of the Nation- al Boxing association tucked away today after a fierce 12-round battle Le Ernie Jarvis, of London, Eng- land. In the opening round, Belanger floored Jarvis with a right to the heart and a left to the jaw. The bell rang as the count reached two. The Englishman nearly met his wa- terloo in the third session. They rushed into a clinch and a Jarvis backed away, Belanger caught him with a wild left hook, to the head. Jarvis was down while nine was tolled over him. Rising, Jarvis neutral corner and Belanger pouring rights and lefts to the head and body in an effort to end the scrap. Although Belanger kept up a savage attack, Jarvis weathered the lightning hail of blows and carried the fight to his opponent in the llth, He landed with a left hook to the body which rocked the Toron- to lad and followed with a hard right to the head that sent Belanger to the resin.
