That view taken by Dempsey 1*

by such a course absent himself

Dempsey, to many thousands,

The question of amateurism
connection with the Olympic
games is for each individual nation
to determine for Itself
The Olympic authorities accept
without question certification by an
athlete's own country of his eli-
gibility to compete in the game
Similarly, no nation ever thinks
of protesting the amateur standing
oi an entrant from another nation.
Each has its amateur standards,
and sends to the Olympiad its am-
ateur performers.
Frequently, however, amusing
differences in the matter ot ama
teur standards as between nations
come to light in an Olympic year
American standards are well
known to American track and field
fans, and are perhaps as rigid as
any in the world. An* amateur ath-
lete may receive expenses for trav-
eling to and from a meet in which
he is invited to attend, provided he
has the permission of the A. A U.
to compete Outside ot that., he ac-
cepts no remuneration.

II.—Hundred* of Uie worlds best
winter Mxirtsmen. rept eventing 24
nations, opened the second Olympic
Winter Games here today.
The athletes who are struggling
for supremaey and the athletic
honor . of their countries —came
from nations at every end of the
earth—from Argentina to Japan,
to Finland to the United States
and Canada.
The winter games mark Germa-
ny’s re-entry into the arena of
Olympic international sport. Owing
to war feeling Germany was not
permitted to compete in the Olym-
pic* of l»20 and 1924 On this oc-
casion. however, she is coming back
with strong representation
The famous Crest* Run will pro-
vide many thrills for both specta-
tors and competitors. It is to be
used for races which are appearing
for the first time on the Winter
Games program. These are eonftned
to individual racers of whom only
two from each nation are allowed
compete. The Run, 1.281 meters
long lias a total drop of 157 met-
ers. a decline of just over one in
eight. This fast course with its
difficult bends, demandq the ut-
most skin and strength of the ra-
cers. On some parts of it a speed
of 72 miles an hour is readied. Ac-
cidents are numerous and casual-
ties are unknown.
Two Englishmen, Captain Webb
Bowen and G H Slater, hold the
record of 58 7 seconds for the full
course
The seeker of further excitement
will be amply supplied at the
sleigh run. For the races on
course each nation is allowed
run two bobsleigh teams of four
five men
The new

attracted a
jumpers from many countries. It is
claimed that this leap, which has
created considerable discussion in
ski-ing circles, is the best of its
kind in the world.
In addition to the jumping, less
sensational ski races are on the pro-
gram. There will also be a milita-
ry ski race of twenty-five to thirty
kilometer*. Some of the world's
most notable skate m of both sexes

Germany's team
consists of 26 men. The ski racers

One can imagine the uproar that
would be occasioned in the United
States if some system of wage
scales for amabeuri were adopted
Charley Paddock, for instance,
would want top price among the
