Seating of D.C. Delegates on A. A. U. Board Of Governors Is Subject of Row at Houston BY ALAN GOULD, ! Associated Press Sports Editor. OUSTON, Tex., December 5. ‘The Amateur Athletic Union's | Forty - eighth Convention, | due for a complete shake-up | of administration before it closes to- morrow, battled today through a bro- ken field of arguments that brought into the open, for the first time, echoes of the stormy 1935 split on Olympic iseues. Despite warnings at the ouset from President Avery Brundage against “bickering” and “sniping” that threat- | ened to wreck the organization, the delegates wrangled most of the day | over subjects ranging from a sharp factional fight over the seating of the on the Board of Governors to furious debates over new legislation barring backhand punches in amateur boxing. Olympic Tax Defeated, DURINO the double-barreled session that found Brundage constantly wielding the gavel to halt shadow box- ing or verbal passages at arms, the convention accomplished the follow- ing results: 2 1. Defeat of the administration pro- posal for an “Olympic tax” on admis- sions to athletic events by an over- whelming vote. 2. Retention of the metric system of measurement for national track and field championships, with “local op- tion” prevailing otherwise for club or sectional competition. 3. Adontion of numerous technical rules—changes in swimming, boxing and track and fleld sports—all de- signed to bring American regulations into conformity with international standards. 4. Partial lifting of restrictions against the amateur eligibility of life guards, with retention of the so-called “90-day clause,” for probationary pur- poses and with discretionary power resting in the hand of district regis-.| trations committees. 5. Retention, for the time being, of proposals to establish & new definition of activé and associate memberships in the A. A. U. because of numerous border-line cases developed by the ef- fects of the depression years. Ornstein Is Storm Center. TH! convention’s “harmony pro- gram” came close to being tossed out of the wigdow during the height of the day's most acrimonious discus- sion. This centered around the elec- tion of District of Columbia delegates to the Board of Governors. It was touched off when Charles L. Ornstein of New York, floor leader for: the forces backing Jeremiah T. Mahoney for the presidency, challenged the nominations submitted by Winfree E. Johnson, sec- retary of the District of Columbia as- sociation. Inasmuch as Johnson was the only one of the four official nominees present, Ornstein proposed the sub- stitution of another Washington dele- gate, Edward Rosenblum, for James Sullivan, an absentee, with written ap- proval from the latter as well as from A. Earle Weeks, president of the Dis- trict of Columbia association. . 4 ‘While the convention nearly side- stepped a decision and Johnson wired | to Weeks for authority to alter his | largely on the ground the plan would stand, Ornstein quickly became the storm center of themeeting. Only a handful of delegates, most of them from the metropolitan district, were on hand for participation in the verbal fireworks. Others who had taken time off to see the Rice-Southern Methodist foot ball game came hustling back as soon as word spread that the “lid was about to be blown off.” Likely to Seat D. C. Delegates. EFORE the turmoil subsided, Ornstein drew a sharp retort from | Dietrich Wortmann of New York, while Maj. Patrick J. Walsh, president of the metropolitan sssociation and rival of Mahoney for the national presidency, seized opportunity to chal- lenge the status of Herman Obertubes- sing, here on behalf of the National Cycling Association and & Mahoney adherent. The upshot appeared to be that both Johnson and Rosenblum would be seated tomorrow on the Board of Governors, thereby splitting the vote of the Capital delegation. Developments otherwise strength- ened the prospect that Mahoney, beaten on the Olympic issue a year ago and replaced in the chair by Brtindage, would be returned to office by a decisive vote, thereby putting the 1935 opposition party back in power. Ormnstein’s prediction tonight that Mahoney would have nearly two-to- one backing among the delegates was not challenged by Walsh's supporters, who included Brundage. Calis Olympic Tax Nuisamce. tip-off on the convention trend came early with the defeat of the “Olympic tax” proposition. Brundage, elaborating on the original 5-cent “contribution” idea, suggested a sub- stitute plan calling for collection of 5 cents on all admissions to athletic events up to $1 and 10 cents for tickets of higher price. Led by Thomas T. Reilley of New , York, who described it as another | “nuisance tax,” opposition was based 'nullify present souices of Olympic revenue or contributions. Reilley sug- gested it was not up to the A. A. U, to take the initiative, but urged that | the new sdministration consult other | sports-governing bodies on.a general ! | fund-raising plan for the 1940 Olympics. Fred L. Steers of Chicago, chair- | man of the Legislative Committee, | drew a sharp retort from the veteran Bostonian, George V. Brown, after decrying “chiseling” in connection with the promotion of amateur hockey. Brown expressed resentment | over the charge, denied he was a party | to any sharp practice and contended | many clubs were failing to break even in their conduct of the ice sport. Hoyas “Give Up” On Fishinp Trip B5 a Btafl Correspondent of The Star. L/IIAHI.

Guests of Joe Williams® father on an all-day fishing party today, 26 of the 29 Hoyas proved unable to “take it” when their 60-foot launch hit the Atlantic Ocean.

HEY still pay off on the final score. That's why the South- ern California campus is cheering today. Because Howard Jones’ foot ball Trojans, outplayed and outfought, battled Notre Dame’s favored Irish to & 13-13 tie in the gridiron season’s getaway program. Unable to make a first down until the final period—and then only get- ting across a 10-yard distance as the result of a penalty—the Trojans cashed in on a 65-yard touchdown producing lateral pass, and a 100- yard scoring run by Substitute Bud Langley with an intercepted pass, to earn the deadlock. That wild and woolly battle, with 75,000 fans looking, on, featured the program that virtually wound up the season, leaving only & pair of - games next week and the customary extra-curricular “bowl” battles still to come. Otherwise, the day was high-* lighted by Arkansas’ capture of the Southwest Conference champion- ship by downing Texas 6-0; St. Mary’s last-half rally to down ‘Temple 13-7; Texas Aggies’ third- quarter spurt to whip Manhattan 13-6; Western Reserves’ wind-up to an undefeated, untied season by conquering ‘Case 32-3; Mississippi's “Moral victory” in holding Tennes- see to & 0-0 draw, and’ Mississippi State’s surprisingly -tough struggle before overcoming Florida, 7 to 0. Western Maryland won the “State championship” in its home district by crushing Marylands Terps, 13-0, with a two-touchdown second-period_attack.
