Olympic Factions Se Rose Bowl Rivals as They May Take Field New Year Day QEACH GHS THREE ANYIOUSTOAVOD SCRAPIN A A L. Both Sides Are Worried as | Session Opens—Trials Site Contested. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, December 6.—The Executive and Foreign Rela- tions Committee of the Ama- teur Athletic Union met today to seek a peaceful settlement of the proposed boycott against the 1936 Olympic games before it developed into @ battle on the floor of the forty- seventh annual A. A. U. Convention. | Avery Brundage of Chicago, Olym- | pic Committee chairman, who heads the pro-participation forces. and Jere- | miah T. Mahoney of New York, A. A. U. president, on the side favoring the | boycott, both claimed victory. It seemed unlikely that the joint committee could reach an agreement. Both sides were worried, however, about the outcome if the subject came to an open fight in the general ses- sions of the convention, which begin tomorrow. _ Many Details to Consider. O‘L'Hm important matters to be con- sidered were whether to hold the Olympic track and field trials and the national championships together or separately, the awards of places and dates for both the title events and the trials in all sports, the consideration of numerous record applications. and the Hockey Committee’s special “head- ache"—imported players. Regardless of the outcome of the A. A. U. battle, it seems certain that the United States will be represented at the Olympics. The Olympic Com- mittee has taken no official notice of the protests so far, going ahead with | the athletes | its plans for abroad The utmost the A. A. U. could do would be to refuse to certify them and perhaps suspend those who went over. Would Carry Fight Higher. AHONEY indicated last night, however, that no such drastic steps would be taken. He was confi- dent that the boycott forces could muster enough votes to carry a reso- lution calling on the Olympic Com- mittee to withdraw its acceptance of the German invitation and to refrain from sending teams to Germany.

MADISON, Wis., December 6.— The University of Wisconsin campus was shaken today by the admission of the foot ball captain- elect, John Golemgeske, that he participated in a movement to oust Dr. Clarence W. Spears as foot ball coach. Badger supporters looked to Dr. Walter Meanwell, athletic director, for his reply to Golemgeske's asser- tion that Meanwell sanctioned the circulation of a petition against Spears among team menmbers. Wisconsin has had 10 head coaches since 1911. The team this year won only one of eight games. Golemgeske said foot ball men, mostly reserves, asked for the poll and that he discussed it with Meanwell. OLDPOLICYLIKELY FOR SCHOOL FIVES Appears Now as if Friday Afternoon Twin Bills Would Be Staged. HILE the Board of Princi- pals probably will consider a plan to play interhigh school basket ball games on Friday night at Tech High School, it appears unlikely that this play will be adopted, since Georgetown has three of its most important tilts scheduled for the Tech gym on nights which would conflict with the proposed plan. Games with Pittsburgh, New York University and Carnegie Tech listed for Friday nights, it is improbable that Georgetown would shift the games, as there is no other local gym | | with the seating capacity of Tech’s. A change in the method adopted | last year, when half the games were played at Roosevelt and half at Tech, is imminent, however. The high school series finished its worst sea- son, financially, in the memory of John Paul Collins, treasurer of the Interhigh Athletic Association, last year, Birch E. Bayh, head of the physical education department; Lawrence Brown, president of the association, and Collins are in favor of abandon- ing the present plan. , With Friday night games appar- ently out of thé question for this year, it is possible that officials will recom- mend the previous Friday afternoon double-header policy.

He is a sophomore with great blocking and defensive ability. There is not much difference between Nowo- | groski of Washington and Michek of | Oregon. Both are buckers, blockers and good defensive men. Nowogroski is picked because of his play against stronger opposition. Other hard- hitting fullbacks are Dougherty, | Washington State; Cotton, California, and Fink of U. C. L. A. | For reserve backs, I would like to have Schreiber, St. Mary's; Cheshire; U. C.

Carter, Oregon, and Starce- vich, Washington, would make a great | pair. Both weigh 200 and have the speed for getting out of the line. They cover punts well and can stop the best driving attack. Rouble, Stan- ford; Tenney, California, and Shper, Washington, are the next best. The center position is the backbone of every line. To pick Herwig, Cali- fornia, cver Muller, Stanford, is a close decision. Herwig wins my vote with his exceptional height and de- fensive ability both against runs and passes. Herwig weighs 210 and plays 60 minutes every week. Muller tips the beam at 220, but does not possess the speed of Herwig. Smith, Washington State; Dough- erty, Santa Clara, and Wiatrak of Washington are good centers, but stars. (Copyright. 1935, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)
