A majority report from the coun- il in which the United States joined favored retaining the femi- nine features limited to nbt more than six events provided the gruel- ling S00-meter race be eliminated, but sharp opposition immediately developed. A prospective fight over the issue was postponed until to- morrow after Finland's represent- ative had moved to abolish the women's events. [ The | tenth-se ing b including previously records on Today's | specified, federation reversed ond watches, adopting tim- them for ra ap to and 250 meters only, after refusing to ac any a tenth-second ba action which, it is non-retroactive, fol- lowed a report from a committee lof three endorsing the accuracy of |tenth-second watches and revealing {that the perfection of accurate hun- timepie is likely future, Charley Pad- dock’s now famous nine and five- tenths for 100 yards would have been a world’s record if the deci- sion to accept tenth watches had {been made ten days earlier.

The women's athletic federation has put up a strenuous fight for doubling their part in the Olynipic |track and field program henceforth, |arguing for ten events instead of the five held the past week This was definitely opposed by the LA, A F. ccuneil which serionsly considered dropping the entire teminine participation becanse of criticism growing out of the S6u- moter race which exhauste § virtuall all the competitors includ th, winner, Fran Lina Radke of G 1any. and Florence Maclionald, the Amorican girl who was siath, It appears certain that this event will be eliminated as dangerovs but women may be permitted to add the hurdles and perhaps one ofher event to the program now including discus throw, h.gh ump, dagh and, 400- mefer relay.
