SBPORTS, A. PROTET BEFURE FLLEONVENTION 2 Executive Committee Won't Recommend Resolution Banning Games. BY ANDY CLARKE, Associated Press Staff Writer. EW YORK, December 7.—In an atmosphere of tension, the open assembly of the Ama- teur Athletic Union met to- day to debate the question of Amer- ican participagion in the 1936 Olympic games, scheduled to be held in Nazl Germany. The A. A. U. Executive Committee, & after arriving at a stalemate yester- day over a strongly worded resolution opposing participation, voted, 10 to 5, | § to refer the resolution to the conve: tion today “without recommendation. The committee’s stalemate on the resolution occurred when Daniel J. Ferris, secretary-treasurer, from voting. After referring the resolution to the | Lamp both factions gathered | € their forces for lobbying that lasted Oourtney convention, late last night.

EGARDLESS of the outcome, how- ever, Avery Brundage of Chicago, president of the American Olympic Committee, insisted an American team would be sent abroad. Brundage said | the proceedings thus far were not dis- | appointing to him and charged those | gai; opposing participation with “playing B politics.” “Participants in the movement to block American participation in the | & Olympic games have polluted amateur sport,” he said. “Regardless of the convention’s ac- tion we'll send a full team to Ger- many. With the co-operation of the athletes themselves we can raise the money. Some of the teams already have raised their own funds.” Brundage said failure of the con- vention to ratify American partici- pation would result in collapse of the A A U “Eighty per cent of the A. A. U. athletics are college boys or ex-colle- | gians, and they won't tolerate this| kind of business,” he said. Look to Public Opinion. OTHE.RS, however, said they be-| lieved that if the convention voted against participation it would touch off a wave of opposition that | might win enough support from pub- | lic opinion to result in withdrawal of the United States from the Berlin | games. President Jeremiah T. Mahoney, leader of the forces opposed to par- ticipation, declared that regardiess of the stand of the convention the A. A. U. would certify athletes who sought to enter the games. Earlier, Brundage said the American Olympic Commit- tee would certify the athletes if the | A. A. U. decided to maintain a hands- off policy. ‘The resolution under question not only opposed sending American ath- letes to Berlin, but also charged that Germany repeatedly has violated the Olympic code and has shown discrimi- | nation against Catholics as well as| Jews. i It proposed a general boycott of the | Olympics by the United States and | suggested that the International Olympic Comimttee remove the games | from Germany. Protest Mainly New York's. ETITIONS containing more than 600,000 signatures were presented to the A. A. U. on behalf of seven or- ganizations seeking the boycott. Fac- tions opposed to the boycott, however, said that most of the signatures were those of people living in New York. Routine convention business was shunted into the background by the Olympic issue. ‘The Track and Field Committee of the A. A. U, however, voted to recom- mend holding the 1936 senior outdoor championships separate from the Olympic tryouts, a departure from custom.

Dean Detton, Pacific Coast matman, who made good in a big way while pairing off with Joe Cox to steal the show from “Champion” Danno O’Ma- hony in a rouMing draw this week, to- day had been signed to wrestle fiery George Manich, another fine show- man, in semi-final support of Jim Browning and Sandor Szabo at Joe ‘Turner’s Fourteenth and W street arena Thursday night. A clever wrestler and a fine acrobat in the bargain, Detton opposes, in Manich, an aggressive and willing veteran, who has stolen many a show here.

Confer- Davies Two Up Going Into Final Day at Orlando—MacKenzie in Contending Spot. By the Associated Press. RLANDO, Fla., December 7.— Harry Cooper of Chicago paced the fleld with a 2- stroke lead for the final 36| holes of the $2.000 Orlando open golf tournament today. A pack of veterans, eyeing the $500 | first prize money, blazed down the | stretch close on his heels. The for-| mer Canadian open champion had 69s each for the first two rounds. In a tie for second were Johnny Re- volta, the national P. G. A. title holder, and Tony Manero of Greens- boro, N. C., who slipped behind yes- terday after going out front with a 68 on the first day. Apparently gaining momentum, Revolta flashed rare form yesterday and took a 68 after finishing far back at 72 in the preliminary. MacKenzie Has 141. A TRIO of dangerous contenders— Paul Runyan of White Plains, N. Y.; Ky Laffoon of Chicago and Ro- land MacKenzie of Washington— pressed Revolta and Manero with 141 each. Still in the running were Claude Harmon of Orlando, 19-year-old ama- teur sensation, who put together rounds of 72 and 70; Gene Kunes of Philadelphia, Canadian open cham- pion; Roy Horan, the home club pro, and Bobby Cruickshank of Richmond, Va., who were tied at 142.

C. Women to Expand Golf Program ONE-DAY TOURNEY PLAN GANS FAVOR .| Progressive Links Body to Change Style of Club Team Matches. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. ORE than a thousand come petitors played in the various women's golf events around ‘Washington this year. A sure sign of the mounting interest in wom- en’s golf here, the tournaments of the ‘Women'’s District Colf Association will expand even more next year under the program to be inaugurated by Mrs. Ralph W. Payne, the new president of the organization. By way of contrast with the number who played in the tournaments of 1935, Susan Hacker, acting president of the association during the last half of the year, pointed out today that 20 years ago, when the first women's golf organization was founded in Washing= ton, it took & lot of personal persuasion to get out enough golfers to form a flight of 16. The association has just celebrated its 20th anniversary with the comple= tion of the most successful year in golf among the fair sex, marked by 15 tournaments, a comptehensive series of team matches and the lgrgest line- up of competitive events ever staged by the women around Washington. ‘The entry of more than a thousand in the tournaments staged by the women's association did not include the list entered in the Middle Atlantic at Congressional, nor in several other tournaments staged at the end of the season. In all probability there were more than 1,300 separate entries in all the events, many of which wers duplications. First Organized in 1915, THE present women'’s association dates back to 1923, when an or- ganization meeting held at the Willard chose Mrs. Harry A. Knox as president of the organization. The present active hody dates back to that meeting, but prior to that an association had existed, composed largely of woman golfers from Chevy Chase, Columbia and Washington, the three clubs where most of the golf around the Capital was played in the years prior to 1922, This association was headed in its first year—1915—by Mrs. Charles L. Prailey of Chevy Chase, and under its sponsorship was staged the first wom- en’s District championship. But since 1923 the growth of the organization has been marked by in creasing interest in women's golf, ene larged entry lists and a general growth | of the game among the feminine play=- ers until today golf among the women of Washington is a major sport, with a very large schedule, a series of championship tournaments and a sea. son running from mid-April until | early November. Most of the interest centers around i'-he District championship and the | interclub team matches. In the latter phase of competition there is almost certain to be a change in the method of play next year. Scotch Foursome Opposed. TH! Scotch foursome scheme of play, with the players hitting alternate shots, was tried out this sea= son, but several of the better players did not like i* and some of them withdrew from the competition. Next year there will be a change, but what it will be won't be known for two months. Women'’s golf around the Capital has expanded hand in hand with the growth of the Women’s District Golf Association and far more than the expansion among the men. Where the trend among those of male pere suasion has been toward fewer invitae tion tourneys, among the women it has been along the line of more fre- quent one-day affairs.
