OLYMPIC PROBLEM IS KEEPING ATHLETES FIT So Declares Lawson Robertson, Head Mentor of Team, Who Says It Is Mistaken Idea That Men Need a Lot of Coaching. By the Associated Press, HILADELPHIA, February 17. Olympic track and field c paign this year isn't so much the selection or coaching of its star talent in proper physical mental condition. Such is the opinion of Lawson Robertson, head coach of the battle of masterdom next July. “It is a mistaken idea that our Olympic team needs a lot of coach- they need most of all s to be kept in a proper frame of mind and properly trained. The main problem of America’s team as it is a matter of keeping the American forces that will go into the ing,” sald Robertson today. “What “Get the picture of our team, a se- lected group of stars from all parts of | the country, picked by the most rij California’s Plan of Starting Attack BY SOL METZGER.

Nearly every man has some individual ideas about his conditioning or the way he should jump, run or hurdle. The coaches' job is to keep them in good humor and at the same time exercise sufficient discipline to keep them at top form between the tryouts and the actual Olympic competition. “Here's another angle: Many—in f: most—ot the athletes are the big st { their college, club or district. lose and ttention to stomed.

It is for the best interests of te: morale as well as practical handling of the squad that Robertson is opposed to the suggestion that Lloyd Hahn, Hal Osborn and others be sent to Amster- dam in advance of the main body of athletes to get the benefit of additional training abroad. ks The theory of those suppo: | idea is that our athl the past from lack of suffi get rid of their sea legs. Harm rather than good might come of | this. in the opinion of Robertson, who believes that the week's interval be- tween the time of the team's arrival in Amsterdam and the start of the Olym- pics will be sufficient to regain any | edge lost on the trip overseas. Bud Houser, a double champion at the last Olympics. may forego the de- fense of his shotput crown this year and concentrate on the discus throw, in which he holds the world's record as well as the Olympic title. That is the idea he has in mind now, rding to Robertson, but the former ! California captain may be drafted for the shotput anyway, espe- ciall nce the two men who were his years ago. Ralph Hills of Princeton and Glenn Hartranft of | Stanford, have dropped out of competi- tion.
