Avery Brundage, president of | the Amateur Athletic Union of America, and president of the| American Olympic Committee, has| rounded up information showing that the quick-money boys al- ready are at work, and have in-| tercepted many thousands of dol-f lars meant for the Olympic fund.

Stamps printed for 10 cents a hundred, have been sold | for a dollar, and the profit on other | dtems has been as large.

The salesman had the checks, pocketed the money and moved out of the neighbor- Brundage still has the checks. “We need not less than $300,000 to ip and care for our athletes} said, “and probably twice that amount has been gathered up by the racketeers. Money is coming in slowly, and contributors must be certain that their donations are reaching the Olympic Committee. “It will cost just as much to care for our athletes at Los Angeles next Sum- mer as it did to send our team to Amsterdam in 1928. We chartered a ship then and got rates. This year, however, the athletes must be moved from all over the country by rail and many will travel part of the distance alone. And we can't spare any money to racketeers.” TN seeking money for its own team the Olympic Committee encounters com- petition right at home, German-Americans, Polish-Americans, Swedish - Americans and Finnish- Americans, and other nationalities whose homelands will send teams to the Olympiad, are solicitin make it possible for them compete at Los Angeles, which will mean that about $2,000,000 must be raised. In addition to donations, the Amer- ican committee is depending on local groups to help raise money, and the receipts from the semi-final trials at Chicago, the I. C. A. A. A. A, track championships, the National Collegiate Association championships and the semi-final trials at Long Beach, Calif., will go to the fund, as must all money taken in at events mentioning the Olympiad. e LOTTERY PROBE ORDERED Nevada Governor Charges State Is Background of “Fraud.” RENO, Nev., April 1 (#).—Gov.

Fleming, graduate manager of ath- letics at the United States Military Academy, leaves the athletic department will be taken by Maj. L. D. Worsham, now district engineer at Memphis. This became known here when an- nouncement was made that Maj. Wor- sham will report to West Point on Au- gust 1 of this year to serve as engineer instructor and also as understudy to Fleming until the latter's term ends. Maj. Fleming was to have left West Point this year, but the transfer to Louisiana State University of Capt. Lawrence (Biff) Jones made it neces- sary for the major to remain for an- other year. Maj. Fleming has been graduate man- ager of athletics at the Military Acad- emy for five years, during which Army’'s athletic foot ball, has been g:emy expanded. Intramural athletics also have been de- veloped to & greater degree than at any previous time. He has been Army’s chief spokesman in the athletic “break” with the Navy and also has been an important figure in negotiations tending toward recon- ciliation. ¥ A native of Towa, Maj. Fleming was graduated from West Point in 1911. in Washington and also served at Al- bany, N. Y, for a considerable period in connection with a waterways devel- opment project.

By the Associated Press ARQUETTE, Mich,, April 1. —Players benched a Ia hockey when they perpetrat- ed fouls. No free throws during playing time. Those were some of the oddities in two city league basket ball games last night, in which proposed rule changes to speed up the game were 7iven a_try-out. One game was played under the penalty box system borrowed from hockey. Technical fouls drew half- minute penalties and personal fouls, committed in the open court, a full minute. Personal fouls committed on players in the act of shooting were penalized by two minutes on the bench. Twice a team was left with only 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. i] one man on the floor. On one occa- slon a single basket was made against the lone defender. On the other, two baskets were scored. In the other game, fouls during each period were cancelled, the dif- ference being turned into free throws at the conclusion. In the first half, there was a net of one free throw; in the second, six. The scoring was normal and fans and players agreed that abolition of free throws during playing time speeded up the game. The penalty box plan won the most friends.
