REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT,

MAJOR-GENERAL DOUGLAS MacARTHUR


His Excellency,
The President of the United States,
Honorary President of the American Olympic Committee
and to the American Olympic Association
Dear Mr. President:
Article X of the Constitution and By-Uaws of the American
Olympic Association directs the submission of a report by the
American Olympic Committee on the Olympic Games. In under-
taking this difficult task, I recall the passage in Plutarch wherein
Themostocles, being asked whether he would rather be Achilles or
Homer, replied: "Which would you rather be, a conqueror in the
Olympic Games or the crier who proclaims who are conquerors?"
And indeed to portray adequately the vividness and brillance of
that great spectacle would be worthy even of the pen of Homer
himself. No words of mine can even remotely portray such great
moments as the resistless onrush of that matchless California Eighr
as it swirled and crashed down the placid waters of the Sloren ;
that indomitable will for victory which marked the deathless rush
of Barbuti; that sparkling combination of speed and grace by
Elizabeth Robinson which might have rivaled even Artemis her-
self on the heights of Olympus. I can but record the bare, blunt
facts, trusting that imagination will supply the magic touch to that
which can never be forgotten by those who were actually present.
The standards of success of previous American Olympic
teams are very high. This team proved itself a worthy successor
of its brilliant predecessors. The table herewith shows the totals
of first, second and third places and point total, rating those places
respectively as three, two and one. This gives the United States
twenty-four Olympic championships, twenty-one second places and
seventeen third places, or a total of one hundred and thirty one
points. Any other system of scoring would accentuate America's
margin of success.

In achieving these victories, America made seventeen new
Olympic records, seven of which are world records. This repre-
sents, I believe, the greatest number of Olympic and world records
ever achieved at one time in any set of games, either Olympic or
otherwise, by any nation, either American or foreign, in the history
4 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

of athletics. This fact evidences the most noteworthy feature of


the games, namely, the great advance made in the last four years
throughout the world in competitive athletic excellence. This
general improvement is further testified by the more general dis-
tribution of triumphs among the various nations. That this ten-
dency will increase even more rapidly in the future is apparent.
Of equal importance with the actual competitive success which
was achieved, it is a matter of pride to report that the American
team worthily represented the best traditions of American sports-
manship and chivalry. Imperturbable in defeat, modest in victory,
its conduct typified fair play, courtesy and courage. In this most
intense competition of highly trained teams, the Americans repre-
sented rivalry without bitterness, contest without antagonism and
the will to win tempered and restrained by a spirit of mutual con-
sideration and generosity. It was worthy in victory; it was su-
preme in defeat.
The organization of the games at Amsterdam by the Dutch
Olympic Committee was excellent in every respect and could well
stand as a model for the future. I cannot speak too highly of the
splendid spirit of the Games. It would be hard to conceive a more
admirable concourse of sport, one of the most noteworthy features
being the happy impartiality of the spectators of all nations.
The American team was selected in the most democratic and
unprejudiced way as a result of actual competition in nation-wide
contests open to all amateur athletes. Any other method would
have introduced privilege and favoritism with all the attendant ills
that flow therefrom. The overhead of managers, coaches and offi-
cials was materially reduced from those of previous years and it is
the established policy to continue this reduction in future Olym-
piads. The team was of necessity transported and housed aboard
the United States Lines Steamship, President Roosevelt. This ar-
rangement was a most happy one and the American team was the
envy in this respect of many of their less fortunate competitors.
The admirable management by the ship's officers and crew contri-
buted in no small way to the splendid morale and esprit which was
so noticeable throughout. In spite of the geographical hazard
involved in the trip and in the severe climatic conditions, our
team was at the height of its form and condition when the day
of competition arrived.
Financially the trip was a great success. I am happy to say
that after all accounts have been settled there is a surplus of nearly
$80,000. The total cost of the enterprise was approximately
$290,000, a considerable saving over preceding Olympiads. The
main items of expenditure are approximately as follows:
NINTH OLYMPIAD 5

Charter of ship and transportation $210,000.00


Cost of uniforms and athletic equipment and
apparatus 25,000.00
Expenses in Amsterdam 20,000.00
Expenses of Winter Games and Soccer . . . . 15,000.00
Expenses of tryouts 10,000.00
Overhead expenses . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10,000.00

Total $290,000.00

In my opinion the time has come to put the financing of the


Olympic movement upon a more solid basis than now is the case.
Increasing difficulties in raising funds have been encountered every
four years for the last two decades. A plan should be worked out
by means of which an endowment fund of approximately $2,000,000
should be gradually raised, the interest from which would be suffi-
cient to care for all future Olympiads. This task should be begun
at once and should be spread over a series of years in the form of
small contributions from all the amateur athletic contests in the
country.
Detailed reports from the managers, coaches and operating-
heads are appended hereto and give in great detail not only the
historical records of the Games but recommendations for future
improvement.
To the members of the Executive Committee of the Americar
Olympic Committee and to the operation staff who have been as
sociated with me in this great undertaking I wish to express my
profound appreciation. Their task has been a trying one. Con-
tributing without stint of their time and effort, they had to deal
with a multiude of details little understood and even less ap-
preciated by the general public. Without the recompense of com-
petition such as the athletes themselves enjoy, but with all the bur-
dens of responsibility on their shoulders, they have served with a
loyalty and devotion to the ideals of sport which no words of mine
can adequately portray. To the Press who accompanied the Ameri-
can team, I wish to express my gratitude for their thoroughness
and fairness in portraying the various phases of the venture as
they saw it. To the Team I voice a real affection. It has made me
proud to be an American. I reserve for my last and greatest tri-
bute the American Sportsman, that inarticulate public who by their
contributions made this enterprise possible, who by their plaudits
have inspired the team to its successes, and who, by their sympathy
and understanding, have dignified and enobled the entire adventure.
6 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

I can not refrain from expressing my appreciation of the con-


fidence that has been reposed in me by those who practically drafted
me for the Presidency of the American Olympic Committee. Their
insistence upon my accepting the position as a national duty in spite
of my reluctance has found its recompense for me in final results.
Its duties have been arduous and difficult and at times have tested
the limits of patience and forbearance. The complicated chan-
cellories of American sport—-I may even say international sport as
well—are even more intricate perhaps than are political chancello-
ries. To abstain from the conflicting interests of the various
sports bodies and yet to demand of all support for the Olympic
movement has been a problem which at times appeared insurmount-
able. It is my most earnest recommendation that within the next
few months an athletic congress be called under the auspices of the
American Olympic Association, of all amateur sports associations
in the United States, attended by the leading athletic figures of
America, wherein the various athletic problems that have been
agitating the nation during the immediate past shall be thoroughly
discussed without crimination or recrimination, and policies and
standards fixed so definitely as to thoroughly chart the course of
American athletics for the immediate future.
"Athletic America" is a telling phrase. It is talismanic. It
suggests health and happiness. It arouses national pride and
kindles anew the national spirit. In its fruition it means a more
sturdy, a more self-reliant, a more self-helping people. It means,
therefore, a firmer foundation for our free institutions and a
steadier, more determined hold on the future. Nothing has been
more characteristic of the genius of the American people than is
their genius for athletics. Nothing is more synonomous of our
national success than is our national success in athletics. If I were
required to indicate today that element of American life which is
most characteristic of our nationality, my finger would unerringly
point to our athletic escutcheon. Storms have raged over ques-
tions of professionalism as opposed to amateurism; as to whether
athletics are detrimental to or promote the best interest of the
school and the college; as to whether they are an essential part of
our educational systems; as to whether they are a valuable training
for citizenship, as to whether they tend to fit one for the problems
of life; as to their moral value; as to what extent women shall
participate therein; as to whether they do not tend to specialization
for the few rather than to recreation for the many. All of these
problems have been and are being constantly met in the irresistible
advance of the athletic movement throughout the nation. There is
an ever gathering constant momentum in favor of facilities for the
NINTH OLYMPIAD 7

physical development of all instead of the over training of a few.


Athletics as an end or athletics as a means to an end are the parti-
cularly salient aspects of present day athletics as a problem, It is
the solution of these great questions that I earnestly implore the
athletic leaders of America, in a spirit of flexibility, to discuss and
settle at the conference I have suggested. We must build ath-
letically not only for health but for character. In learning how
to play we learn how to live.
These problems should be solved before the Tenth Olympiad,
which will take place in Los Angeles in 1932. The Olympic Games
of Greece represent one of the World's oldest traditions. Their
history extends for some twelve hundred years. Through cen-
turies, from the age of Tyrants to the great era of the Free States;
from the rise of Macedonia to supremacy, through the troubled
years of the Achaean and Aetolian Leagues; while Greece lay
crushed under the rule of the Roman Senate and while it had its
brief revival of prosperity under the Roman Empire; in spite of
every vicissitude of fortune, year on year the Olympic Games took
place. The athletic code, therefore, has come down to us irom
even before the age of chivalry and knighthood. It embraces the
highest moral laws and will stand the test of any ethics or philoso-
phies ever promulgated for the uplift of man. Its requirements
are for the things that are right and its restraints are from the
things that are wrong. Its observance will uplift everyone who
comes under its influence. It instinctively follows a religion that
has no hypocrisy in its brave and simple faith and binds man to
man in links as true as steel—the religion of a gallant sportsman's
loyalty and honor. And it is under the impulse of that blameless
ideal that I express the gratification of American sportsmen that
we will be permitted to continue this great festival in 1932 and be
host to the World in the great athletic forum of America.
u
To set the cause above renown,
To love the game beyond the prize
To honor, as you strike him down,
The foe that comes with fearless eyes.
To count the life of battle good,
And dear the land that gave you birth,
And dearer yet the Brotherhood
That binds the brave of all the earth."
With expressions of respect and regard, I remain my dear
Mr. President,
Very cordially yours,
DOUGLAS MacARTHUR,
President, American Olympic Committee.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY


FREDERICK W. RUBIEN

The American Olympic Association


The Quadrennial meeting of the American Olympic
Association was held at Washington, D. C., on November
17th, 1926. This was the first step taken in preparation for
the participation of the United States in the IX Olympiad,
which was held at Amsterdam, July 28th to August 12th, 1928,
and the II Olympic Winter Sports at St. Moritz, February
11th to 19th, 1928. Forty-seven organizations had delegates
present at this meeting, in addition to the representatives of
the federal reserve districts appointed by the President of
the United States,
The following officers were elected: President Emeritus,
Colonel Robert M. Thompson; President, William C. Prout;
First Vice President, Dr. Graeme M. Hammond; 2nd Vice
President, Dr. R. Tait McKenzie; 3rd Vice President, Major
William C. Rose; Secretary, Frederick W. Rubien; Treasurer,
Julius H. Barnes; Auditor, A. Jocelyn H. Magrath, An
Executive Committee was elected consisting of General
Palmer E. Pierce, Colonel Henry Breckinridge, Murray Hul-
bert, Joseph B. Maccabe, Major John L. Griffith, Julian S.
Myrick, Dr. G. Randolph Manning, Dr. J. H. McCurdy,
William F. Humphrey, Charles L. Ornstein and Dr. George
J. Fisher. Immediately after the election, General Palmer
E. Pierce, Colonel Henry Breckinridge and Major John L.
Griffith tendered their resignations as members of the Execu-
tive Committee and J. Brooks Parker as a regional delegate.
The resignations were accepted and the filling of the vacancies
was referred to the Executive Committee. Shortly after the
Quadrennial meeting, resignations of Dr. R. Tait McKenzie,
who was elected 2nd Vice President of the American Olympic
Association, Dr. J, H. McCurdy and Dr. George Fisher were
received.
In accordance with action taken at their respective meet-
ings, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the Na-
tional Amateur Athletic Federation, the Intercollegiate Con-
ference and the Young Men's Christian Association withdrew

uary 28th, 1927, Major General Douglas MacArthur was


elected a member of the Executive Committee to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of General Palmer E.
Pierce; Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was elected in Colonel
Breckinridge's place and A. C. Gilbert to the vacancy caused
by Major John L. Griffith.
About this time, Julius H. Barnes, who had been elected
Treasurer of the American Olympic Association since its
organization in 1921, felt that owing to pressure of other
duties, he should resign, as he felt that he was unable to give
the office the proper amount of time that it rightfully re-
quired.
At a meeting of the Executive Committee held on April
6th, John J. Raskob was elected treasurer to succeed Mr.
Barnes.
On August 4th, 1927, the athletic world was startled by
the untimely death of William C. Prout, who had been elected
President of the American Olympic Association and Presi-
dent of the American Olympic Committee.
A meeting of the Executive Committee of the American
Olympic Association was held April 6th, 1927, to fill the
vacancy caused by President Prout's death. In compliance
with the provisions of the Constitution, Dr. Graeme M.
Hammond, first Vice President, succeeded to the office of
President; Major William C. Rose resigned as 3rd Vice Presi-
dent ; Murray Hulbert was elected to the office of first Vice
President; Major William C. Rose to the office of 2nd Vice
President and Judge Rufus E. Foster 3rd Vice President.
At a meeting of the Executive Committee held on January
10th, 1929, the organizations which previously withdrew;
namely, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the
National Amateur Athletic Federation, the Young Men's
Christian Association and the Intercollegiate Conference
Athletic Association were restored to membership.
At a meeting of the Executive Committee held March 21st,
1928, Dr. Charles W. Kennedy of Princeton University rep-
resenting the National Collegiate Athletic Association, was
added to the Executive Committee.
Major General H. B. Crosby was appointed the representa-
tive of the War Department and Honorable T. Douglas
Robinson, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, the representa-
tive of the Navy Department.

The American Olympic Committee
The American Olympic Committee was constituted at Wash-
ington, D. C, on November 17th, 1926, by vote of the Ameri-
can Olympic Association and consists of the delegates who
attended the Quadrennial meeting. William C. Prout was
elected President; Henry G. Lapham, first Vice President;
William F. Humphrey, 2nd Vice President; Robert S. Weaver,
3rd Vice President; Judge Rufus E. Foster, 4th Vice Presi-
dent ; Sheldon Clark, 5th Vice President.
A meeting of the Executive Committee was held September
16th, 1927, to consider the election of a successor to the late
William C. Prout. Henry Lapham submitted his resignation
which was accepted with regret. Mr. Hulbert stated he had
authority to tender the resignation of William F. Humphrey,
2nd Vice President, and a letter from Robert S. Weaver
authorizing him to present his resignation as 3rd Vice
President. These two resignations were also accepted with
regret. Major General Douglas MacArthur was then elected
3rd Vice President and on account of the offices of the three
Vice Presidents being vacant, moved up to the office of the
presidency. Messrs. Lapham, Humphrey and Weaver were
in turn elected to the office of 3rd Vice President and moved
up to the offices of first, second and third vice presidencies,
respectively.
On November 2nd, 1927, Mr. Lapham was obliged to resign
as first Vice President owing to pressure of private interests.
William F. Humphrey and Robert S. Weaver automatically
moved up to the offices of first Vice President and 2nd Vice
President, respectively. George W. Wightman was elected
to the office of 3rd Vice President to fill the vacancy caused
by Mr. Lapham's resignation.
At the Quadrennial meeting of the American Olympic Asso-
ciation, it was resolved that the Executive Committee of the
American Olympic Association should serve as the Executive
Committee of the American Olympic Committee. At a meet-
ing of the Executive Committee held on May 15th, 1928,
Colonel A. G. Mills was elected to the office of Advisory
Counsel.

Meetings of the Executive Committee were held as follows:

June 27th, 1928.
Owing to the illness of President Prout, active preparation
was not started until the late fall of 1927, which handicapped
to a certain extent our efforts, principally in the collection
of funds, as we were confronted at the very outset with the
expense of sending a team of figure skaters, speed skaters
and skiiers to the Olympic Winter Sports and a Soccer Team
to Amsterdam.
At a meeting of the Executive Committee held on January
10th, 1928, the following men were named chairmen of com-
mittees covering the various sports on the Olympic program :

In practically every instance, the same men served as man-
agers of the various teams. The purpose of these committees
was to make a preliminary report to the American Olympic
Committee with full recommendations covering the selection
of the participants, coaches and other personnel, to arrange
the time and place for the holding of the various tryouts and
any other details which appertained to the actual personnel
of the team. Each sport association which held membership
in the American Olympic Association was requested to name
a representative for membership on appropriate committees.
These committees were announced on March 7th. The follow-
ing rules regarding eligibility were adopted by the committee
for track and field and practically the same rules prevailed for
all other sports:
1. That the Army and Navy hold preliminary tryouts if they see
fit; otherwise they may take part in the preliminary sectional tryouts.

Immediately after the final tryouts, the team selection com-
mittees met and recommended to the American Olympic Com-
mittee the make-up of their teams. The American Olympic
Committee in every instance approved the recommendations
and certified the entries of all contestants to the Netherlands
Olympic Committee.

The purpose of the local tryouts in various sections of the
country was to acquaint the various localities with the avail-
able athletes and the quality of their performances. This
enabled the athletes to know by comparing performances,
whether it was worth their while to make the trip for the
final tryout. This plan worked admirably and there is no
doubt but it is the only fair and democratic way to select the
various teams.
The Marathon team was selected after a careful study of
the work of the men in the Detroit, Long Beach, Baltimore
and Boston Marathons.
No prizes were awarded the athletes for placing in the try-
outs but an engrossed certificate was presented to each com-
petitor placing one, two, three in each event. A total of 12C0
certificates was issued and the athletes valued them very
highly. It is estimated that 12,000 to 15,000 athletes competed
in the various tryouts conducted to select a team.
Transportation and Housing—A Transportation Committee
was appointed consisting of Murray Hulbert, chairman;
Joseph B. Maccabe, Gustavus T. Kirby and Major William
C. Rose. The housing problem at Amsterdam was a serious
one and the committee sent as its representative in 1925,
Murray Hulbert, to make a survey of the situation at Amster-
dam. Lawson Robertson was sent abroad in 1926 on the same
problem, at which time Joseph B. Maccabe and Murray Hul-
22

bert were also in Amsterdam. In the late fall of 1927, Major


Rose went abroad to make definite arrangements for the
anchorage of the "President Roosevelt" and to make a con-
tract for the buses and launches. Gustavus T. Kirby also
visited Amsterdam after the completion of the Olympic Winter
Sports and submitted a report. Mr. Hulbert reported for the
committee that there were very inadequate facilities for the
housing of the men on shore and recommended chartering the
S/S "President Roosevelt" and tying the ship up at Amster-
dam to be used as a hotel. The trip lasted forty-two days
and we were obliged to pay for the transportation and sub-
sistence of the men at Amsterdam at the rate of $5,000.00
per day or a total of $210,000.00. All of the regular members
of the team and very near all of the substitutes were quartered
in the first class section. The Committee disposed of the
tourist third class space and realized the sum of $33,700 from
the sale thereof. It is estimated that it cost the Committee
the sum of $525.00 for the round trip transportation and main-
tenance while at Amsterdam, for every athlete.
It was believed that other countries would make similar
arrangements for the quartering of their teams, but apparently
suitable hotel accommodations were found for them. The
trip of the S/S "President Roosevelt" sailing from Pier 86,
Hudson River, New York, on July 11th, and arriving at Am-
sterdam, July 20th, was very successful.
It was the consensus of opinion that we should sail under
the flag of the United States. The S/S "America" which
proved so satisfactory in 1924, was out of commission as a
result of a severe fire, and it was doubtful whether the ship
could be placed in service by the time the team was to sail.
The only available ship was the "President Roosevelt" which
was altogether too small. Living on board the overcrowded
boat became monotonous at times, although everything pos-
sible was done to keep up the morale of the team.
Adequate facilities were afforded all teams to train for their
respective events while en route to Amsterdam. A boxing
ring was set up on the sun deck for the Boxing Team. Strips
were also laid on this deck for the fencers. A 160 yard run-
ning track of cork linoleum was laid on the promenade deck
where the Track and Field Teams, both men and women,
and the cyclists trained daily. Rowing machines were placed
on "C" deck, where the oarsmen kept in condition. The

gymnastic apparatus was rigged up on the "C" deck for the


gymnasts. Mats were placed on the rear of the promenade
deck for the wrestlers to train. A canvas swimming pool was
erected on the forward part of the main deck and the divers
were given an opportunity to train in this section of the boat
where two spring-boards were erected. Targets were set up
on the rear of the main deck where the Modern Pentathlon
men trained for the shooting competition. A treadmill was
located on deck "D" where the horses were given a daily
workout. The entire team including the horses arrived in
excellent condition, calm seas making the trip most enjoyable,
there being very few cases of seasickness.
A cordial reception was extended to the American Olympic
Team upon arrival at Amsterdam. The ship was anchored
in the middle of the Amstel Canal, and it was necessary to
maintain a ferry schedule between the ship and the dock at
Central Station. The "President Roosevelt" was located about
twenty minutes off shore. The last week, the ship was trans-
ferred to the dock of the Holland-American Line, which was
much more satisfactory.
Training Facilities at Amsterdam—Steps were taken in
ample time to provide training facilities for our Track and
Field and Swimming Teams, but as has been our difficulty
with all of our Olympic Teams, these arrangements were very
unsatisfactory. The Police Field where arrangements were
made for the Track and Field Team to train, was in very poor
condition, and we were put to considerable expense in trying
to place it in usable condition. Even then, conditions were
not satisfactory and it was necessary for the majority of the
Track and Field men to travel to Hague where splendid
facilities were available. The swimmers objected to swim-
ming in the harbor at Amsterdam and the swimming pool to
be used for the Olympic Games was restricted to the use of
the divers only. It was necessary to have our swimmers go
to Haarlem, a short distance away, where a satisfactory pool
was found.
OPENING CEREMONIES, JULY 28th
While guns roared and midst a setting of unsurpassed
grandeur, the IX Olympic Games were officially declared
open by His Highness, the Prince of the Netherlands. It
was an inspiring sight Avhich will long be remembered by the
40,000 spectators who filled the stadium to capacity. It is
26

estimated that over 75,000 people were outside the gates of


the Stadium, unable to secure admission.
A group of trumpeters sounded prolonged blasts at which
time the Parade of Nations started to enter the Stadium. Over
3,000 athletes representing 46 nations participated in the
Parade which was led by Greece. Germany, Holland, Great
Britain and United States all had full teams in the Parade.
The United States, designated Vereenigde Staten, was sixth
from last. The athletes circled the track once and then lined
up on the infield and stood at attention.
Prince Hendrik as the representative of the Queen, who was
in Norway at the time, arose and proclaimed:
"In the name of Her Majesty, Queen of Holland, I declare
the Olympic Games of 1928 celebrating the IX Olympiad of
modern times, opened." Immediately thereafter a trumpet
was heard, then the thunder of a cannon salute and the
Olympic flag was hoisted to the central mast; this being a
symbol for the freeing of about 1,000 pigeons, symbolic of
carrying the message to all concerned. Harry Denis, Captain
of the Dutch Soccer Team, then advanced to the foot of the
Tribune of Honor bearing in his hand the Dutch flag and
surrounded in a semi-circle by the bearers of the flags of all
the other countries and pronounced the Olympic oath, all the
other athletes joining in:
THE OLYMPIC OATH
"We swear that we will take part in the Olympic Games
in loyal competition, respecting the regulations which govern
them and desirous of participating in them in the true spirit
of sportsmanship for the honor of our country and for the
glory of sport." A choir of 1200 people then chanted the
Dutch national anthem.
The United States made an excellent showing in the parade,
the men in white flannels, blue coats with the Olympic em-
blem on the left breast and straw hats with the shield on the
band and the girls in white ensembles with white felt hats
and white shoes.
The following day the athletic events started in the stadium.
I will not attempt to describe the events as the complete
results are recorded elsewhere in this report. It is possible
that there may be a few slight errors in some of the results
as it was necessary to compile the records from programs,
newspapers, etc. A request was made to the Netherlands
28

NINTH OLYMPIAD 29

Olympic Committee for the complete results, but they denied


our request as they did not wish to issue this information
until their own report was published.
During the marathon race fires were lighted in the marathon
tower signifying as was done by the beacon fires in the
ancient games to announce to all people of the world that
peace, harmony and understanding must now reign, and
thoughts of discord, discontent and misunderstanding must
be put aside and that every one must concentrate on this as
the attitude to be assumed.
A fitting ceremony took place in the Stadium after the com-
pletion of the final event on August 12th. Queen Wilhelmina,
Crown Princess Juliana, Prince Consort Hendrik and the
Queen Mother Emma were in attendance as were members
of Swedish and Norwegian Royalty, who were guests of
honor.
The prize winners of all nations lined up on the infield and
ranged themselves facing the Royal Box. The announcer
called each nation alphabetically stating how many firsts,
seconds and thirds each Nation won. The athletes then
marched to the Royal Box where Queen Wilhelmina presented
the gold medals; Prince Hendrik the silver medals and Count
Baillet Latour, President of the International Olympic Com-
mittee, the bronze medals. The following is a list of the
medals which were awarded, and as there was no official point
scoring system adopted, this tends to show better than any
other method the relative standing of the nations:

One unofficial scoring system placed one nation ahead of
the United States with 45½ points to 39, but women's track
and field and the winter sports were omitted from this tabu-
lation. Both of these events were regular Olympic events,
and there is no reason why they should not be included. The
United States finished second in both sports and this would
give us first place.
The closing of the games was pronounced by Count Baillet
Latour after the prizes had been distributed. A trumpet was
sounded and the Olympic flag was drawn down accompanied
by a salute from five guns and the choir sang the final
cantata.
A number of receptions, dinners and gatherings was held
to enable the athletes to become acquainted with the repre-
sentatives of the other nations, including two receptions on
the S.S, ''President Roosevelt"—one to the people of Amster-
dam and another to the athletes of the competing countries.
A reception to the representatives of all nations was given by
Her Majesty, Queen Wilhelmina at the Royal Palace. Second
in importance, was a banquet tendered to the Netherlands
Olympic Committee by the American Olympic Committee
at the Royal Yacht Club on August 7th.
The American Olympic Team left Amsterdam on August
13th and stopped at Southampton, England, and Cherbourg,
France, on August 14th, where many of the different units
who went on tours after their events were concluded boarded
the ship. The return trip was uneventful except for the rough
weather which was encountered for two days when many of
the team including the horses suffered from seasickness.
The Team arrived in New York on August 22nd and was
given a tremendous welcome home celebration. Mayor James
32 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

J. Walker of the City of New York, Grover Whalen, Chair-


man of the Mayor's Committee on Reception to Distinguished
Guests and Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City were at the
pier where Mayor Walker presented each member of the Team
with the City of New York medals. A farewell luncheon was
held at the Hotel McAlpin after which the members departed
for their respective homes.
Every manager, coach and trainer was given an opportunity
to submit a report and all statements made have been pub-
lished without censoring. It is regretted that a few of the
coaches have not availed themselves of the opportunity to
submit reports.
The American Olympic Committee paid the expenses of the
athletes from their home to the tryout, to New York and
return to their homes. All other incidental expenses were
paid by the Committee. All bills have been paid with the
exception of a few which have not yet been approved.
Every effort has been made to have deposited with the
Treasurer all balances in the hands of various district Olympic
Committees throughout the country. Many of the Committees
had balances which they desired to keep as a nucleus for the
1932 fund, but the American Olympic Committee insisted on
these balances being placed in the hands of the Treasurer.
All accounts have been closed with the exception of one or
two. The great mass of detailed work in collecting funds
and preparing the financial report has been carried on by the
Secretary's office, and if there are any funds not properly
credited to the various committees, the Secretary will appre-
ciate receiving this information so that the correction can be
made.
In conclusion I wish to state that the success of the 1928
American Olympic Committee and particularly the trip to
Amsterdam was due in a large measure to the untiring efforts
of Major General Douglas MacArthur. At times the Com-
mittee was confronted with some extremely difficult problems
which General MacArthur handled masterfully. I also want
to thank the American Olympic Executive Committee, the
Managers, Coaches, Trainers, personnel, the athletes compris-
ing the American Olympic Teams for their splendid co-
operation ; the sport followers of America for their generosity,
and the Chairmen of the district finance committee for their
efforts in collecting funds. Without this co-operation the
United States could not have scored the successes it did.
The following is a list of nations showing the various sports in which they competed.

REPORT OF OPERATIONS OFFICER,


MAJOR WILLIAM C. ROSE
1. The work of the Operations Officer being primarily
that of coordinating the administration of the various team
units and other working groups is best shown by the accom-
panying administrative chart, and in submitting my report as
Operations Officer I have left to these all detailed statistics
and confine myself to the statement that the administrative
organization of the 1928 Olympic Team functioned most
satisfactorily and with such minor adjustments as the nature
of a particular Olympiad may require, might well be used as a
basis for administration of future Teams. One consideration
however, which affected the 1928 Team might not be present
at other Olympiads, since the problem of transportation in
this instance included both housing and subsistence.
2. No administrative set-up no matter how correctly
planned could function unless the coordinate and subordinate
groups of the organization carried out their respective func-
tions. I am happy to report that the work of the Operations
group was materially facilitated by the splendid cooperation
received. Particularly do I wish to mention the following:
Mr. A. C. Gilbert, whose work in improving the
training facilities for the track and field team and in co-
ordinating their transportation problems prior to the
opening of the Games contributed to the splendid re-
sults obtained.
Lt. T. J. Davis, Transportation Officer, and Lt. J.
F. Brink, Assistant Transportation Officer, both of
whom spared neither time nor effort in solving this, to
my mind, the most difficult administrative problem at
Amsterdam.
The managers and coaches whose attitude was al-
ways one of sympathetic cooperation.
Captain Theodore Van Beek and the officers and
men of the S. S. President Roosevelt who labored with-
out regard to personal convenience or hours to assist
in every way the work of the team.
3. There has been much discussion as to the advisability
of continuing to send the American Olympic Teams abroad
as a unit. To send teams individually would in many respects
make American participation much simplier. I believe, how-
ever, the disadvantages of such a procedure would far out-
36 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE
NINTH OLYMPIAD 37

weigh the advantages and that the method followed In 1924


and In 1928 with such adaptations as circumstances may re-
quire is the best solution.
4. My belief is based on the following: In the raising of
funds each sports governing body in America would find
itself competing with every other governing body, thus an-
tagonizing the mass of the American public who are but
mildly interested in a particular activity though keenly inter-
ested in American success as a group. The same competition
would extend to the arranging for accommodations on steam-
ships to and from the scene of the Olympiad and to the secur-
ing of housing accommodations while there. Every team
would expect, and should have, steamship and housing ac-
commodations equal to that of any other and in cities where
hotel accommodations are limited such competition would
prove so expensive as to, in my opinion preclude, the same
wide participation in the Olympic program as America has
heretofore had. Particularly have I in mind such sports as
Rowing, Fencing, Gymnastics and Cycling whose opportuni-
ties for raising revenue other than by appeal to the American
public are extremely limited. Furthermore, it would disrupt
what to my mind is the greatest value of American participa-
tion in the Olympic Games: the team spirit of the entire
group. This team spirit has been exemplified in 1928 more
than at any other time due to the fact that all units of the
team have been transported and housed together and have
through constant association and contact become keenly con-
scious of the problems confronting each. I cannot, therefore,
subscribe to any other idea than that of taking the team over
as a group in as good steamship accommodations as available
finances will permit and to house them in adequate and proper
accommodations whether ashore or in a steamer as was done
in Amsterdam.
5. Irrespective of the procedure decided upon for trans-
porting and housing future teams when the Olympiad is not
held within the continental limit of the United States I recom-
mend that an "advance party" be sent to the scene of the
Olympics at least one month in advance, made up as given
below and for the purposes noted:
38 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE
NINTH OLYMPIAD 39

(a) A representative of the Executive Group who


shall have the necessary authority and qualifications to
make decisions in the name of the Committee and who
shall be charged with effecting all final arrangements
for the arrival and subsequent administration of the
team.
(b) Technical advisors to assist the Executive
representative from (1) Track and Field, (2) Swim-
ming, (3) Equestrian, (4) Rowing and (5) a specialist
on transportation and housing (this latter only in case
teams are housed ashore).
Such an "advance party" in Amsterdam would
have been of material advantage and would have move
than justified the expense of sending them over a
month in advance.
6. In conclusion I wish to pay my heart-felt tribute to
the sportsmanship and forbearance of the athletes who made
up the American Olympic Team of 1928. In many instances,
particularly during the first few days in Amsterdam, they en-
countered inconveniences in transportation and in training
facilities and in spite of the great mental and physical strain
under which they were laboring, cheerfully accepted and
made the best of the situation as they found it.

REPORT OF MEDICAL OFFICER


J. HERBERT LAWSON, M. D.
From July 13th to August 11th, 1928, six hundred cases
were treated by the Medical Department. Four hundred were
medical cases and two hundred surgical cases; all of the latter
required dressing for several days. All cases were treated or
cured in time to enable them to participate in their events.
The general type of medical cases was acute Coryza, Ton-
sillitis, Bronchitis, Otitis-Media, acute Conjunctivitis, and in-
testinal indigestion. The majority of the respiratory cases
were due to weather changes, infections, following use of
swimming pool, close confinement on the steamer, and in-
creased nervous tension due to the prolonged training and
over-anxiety of competition.
The surgical cases were injuries due to the necessary
training methods of the various sports. These injuries were
40 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE
NINTH OLYMPIAD 41

cuts, bruises, strained muscle and sprains. These were treated


in approved ways and a large number of muscle injuries,
sprains, etc., were improved and cured by the application of
high power infra-red light.
The Medical Department was always on duty during the
games, mornings on the boat and at the Stadium and other
pavillions during the competitions. We were thus enabled
to look over all competitors before and after their events and
give any necessary first aid. The equipment of the Medical
Department was furnished through the generosity of various
manufacturers through our personal solicitation, and we owe
them a debt of gratitude. While this proved to be sufficient,
we feel that some method of proper supply of these articles
should be made by the Committee for future games.
We found an exaggerated condition of nervous tension
with increase of minor ailments in a number of cases due to
insufficient rest, worry, close confinement on the boat, and the
uncontrollable heat and noise especially at night which was
occasioned in part by the number of non-competitors on
board and the breaking of training by those who finished in
the early competitions.
We wish to express our appreciation of the services rend-
ered by Miss K. T. Roche, our nurse, and to Dr. Fred C.
Devendorf, Surgeon of the S.S. President Roosevelt, and Mrs.
Hawkins, the trained nurse of the steamship, for their courtesy
and assistance to us.

REPORT OF MORALE AND RECREATION OFFICER


A. C. GILBERT
The purpose of recreation activities was to provide enter-
tainment and amusement to the end that the members of the
American Olympic team would be one big family.
We feel that the results of this work justified the amount
of time and care which was taken to provide these activities.
The recreation activities played a prominent part in the
strengthening of morale.
One of the purposes of the recreation activities was to
make the team feel that everything possible was done to make
this the most successful trip the team has ever taken.
A great deal of stress was laid upon the fact that the
trip was going to be just as successful as the individual made
42 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE
NINTH OLYMPIAD 43

it. The fine spirit shown by members of the team in entering


into all these activities justified everything that was done for
them.
The personnel of the 1928 American Olympic Team was
such that it was not difficult to accomplish fine results. The
morale was fine at all times and the spirit perfectly magnifi-
cent.
The program we provided was entertainment and athle-
tics of various kinds. To increase and hold the interest, vari-
ous competitions were held which carried with them the
Championship of the 1928 Trip. Cups, medals and prizes
were provided for the winners of the various events.
The program aboard the S. S. President Roosevelt was as
follows:
Thursday July 12: Movies Shown on Promenade deck aft
after dusk. Dancing in Social Hall at 9:15 P. M.
Friday July 13: Bridge Tournament for the 1928 Cham-
pionships of the American Olympic Teams. Cups were
awarded the winners and prizes were given to the runners up.
There were about 100 players in the tournament.
On the day previous a blank entry sheet was posted on
the bulletin board for couples to enter the tournament.
Dancing in Social Hall at 9 :15 P. M.
Saturday July 14: Medal Play Golf Tournament began.
Individual matches for men and women. The Angel Deck
Golf game Standard on the United States Lines was used,
Monte Carlo night was held in the Social Hall at 9:15 P.
M. The Committee had special phoney money printed for the
occasion as well as Complete Roulette wheels, Kino, Red Dog,
and other devices for gambling.
Before entering the gambling hall those who wished to
play at the various games were furnished with $25,000 for
which they signed. At the end of the evening the money was
checked back again and the person holding the largest amount
received a prize as the Champion gambler.
Monte Carlo night was voted a most wonderful success
and it really furnished worthwhile entertainment.

The Golf Tournament continued in the afternoon at 2 :30


P. M. A song fest was held in the evening in the Social Hall.
This event was arranged so as to make the whole team
believe that the program was being broadcast to the folks at
home, A microphone was prominently displayed near the
piano and the announcer was on the job in fine style. Phoney
messages from the folks at home to some of the soloists made
it realistic.
Monday July 16: Semi-finals were reached in the golf
match in the morning and in the afternoon the finals were
played off. The 16 lowest scores of this tournament were
bracketed for the matched play Tournament.
A vaudeville show was presented in the evening and the
sketches, monologues and soloists made the evening quite an
enjoyable one.
Tuesday July 17: Matched Play Golf Tournament was
played off. Deck Sports were held on Hatch No. 6 at 2:30
P. M. the following events were run off:
Walking the Dog. Blindfolded men step over hurdles
which are taken out of their path.
Silk Stocking Race. Girls transfer beans across hatch by
holding then on end of straw by inhaling.
Cracker Eating Contest. Crackers tied on line. Con-
testants must eat them with hands behind back then report to
judges and whistle.
Are You There Casey? Cracker is tied on each con-
testant's head and they lie on stomachs. Each is given a
newspaper club and is blindfolded. One asks "Are you there?"
and the other replies. The caller then takes a swing at the
place where the opponent's head is supposed to be. The
order is then reversed and the first one to break the cracker
on opponent's head wins.
In the evening a Masquerade Ball was held in the Social
Hall. Prizes were awarded to the most original and comical.
The same program, with some modifications was carried
out homeward bound,
The Recreation Committee comprised the following: A,

REPORT OF CITY OFFICE ADMINISTRATION, AMSTERDAM


J. B. MACCABE

Pursuant to schedule, the American Olympic Committee's


City Office—13 Rokin—was closed August 8th, having been
opened on Monday, July 16th. The occupied premises were
sub-leased from the Swedish Bank by Mr. Ray W. Smith, At-
tache, who partially furnished same with leased office equip-
ment, together with installation of telephone and electric light
equipment, Subsequently, the office furnishings were added
to in the form of a steel counter and cabinet, steel desk for act-
ing treasurer, tables and extra chairs for main office, all of
which were leased. In addition, a conference table was pur-
chased and, subsequently, disposed of at the original purchase
price. In like manner, all other office equipment owned by
the American Olympic Committee was sold at private sale,
and proceeds therefrom turned over to acting treasurer Mag-
rath, and duly recorded by him. In this connection, the at-
tached inventories may prove interesting. All bills contracted
were carefully scrutinized and, where possible advantage taken
of cash discounts.
Commendation for careful service, rendered at the city
office should be given Messrs. Richard Kennedy, Lee Combs,
G. W. Scott, Dick van der Mark, who functioned as office staff
and head quarters' chauffeur respectively.
Thanks are also due to the generosity of Mr. van der
Mark, manager of the Marmon Car Co. in Holland, who do-
nated to the City Office the use of a Marmon car, which served
a most useful purpose, aiding materially in the expeditious dis-
patch of business at this office. The kind donation of Mr.
van der Mark was duly acknowledged In the name of the
American Olympic Committee.
With the exception of a few minor bills, such as janitor's
and charwoman's fees, electric light bill and telephone ac-
count, all accounts have been adjusted and record of same
made by acting treasurer Magrath.
The thanks of this office are due to Mr. G. T. Kirby for
his loyal co-operation and Invaluable assistance: Major Rose,
for his co-operation and never failing courtesy, and General

REPORT OF ATTACHE
RAY W. SMITH

My work as attache for the United States was extremely


pleasant, I understand that attaches were first appointed for
the Paris Games in 1924, The opinion of those who were in a
position to observe their work seems to be that the Intentions
of the International Committee as to the scope of the work of
the attaches were not entirely realized at Paris, During the
recent Games at Amsterdam, the Organizing Committee made
a very definite and practical use of the attaches and has stated
that It considers the manner in which the attaches have done
their work as having contributed to the success of the or-
ganization.
Although the attaches served for liasion, between the
Organizing Committee and the various National Committees,
it was thought that their work could be better accomplished
if there were some organized contact among the attaches and
for this reason the attaches formed a College of Olympic At-
taches, which regularly held meetings from early spring until
after the close of the Games. During the Games themselves
the General Secretary of the Dutch Committee, Captain van
Rossem, met with the College of Attaches practically every
day, during which meetings an exchange of ideas was made
possible. The Dutch Committee in this way was able to reach
all national committees with a minimum of delay.
In one sense I had perhaps rather more to do than the
majority of the attachés, for the reason that our representa-
tion was so large and covered so many branches of sport. On
the other hand, my work was very much simplified by the
visits, before the Games, of Major Rose and Mr. Kirby, as
well as by the assignment of Lieutenant Glasgow to work in
connection with the Equestrian team. Furthermore, the es-

NINTH OLYMPIAD 51

tablishment of our City Office at Rokin 13 undoubtedly made


my work much easier. The fact that our team stayed aboard
the "Roosevelt" reduced the amount of work necessary in
looking for suitable accommodations,
Among other things which presented themselves for your
attache to do were details in connection with securing ac-
commodations for persons who, for various reasons, could not
be accommodated on the "Roosevelt." Preliminary arrange-
ments for training facilities were made at the Police Field,
seats for the Games were obtained in large numbers, the City
office at Rokin 13 was rented and equipped, arrangements for
formalities upon the arrival of the "Roosevelt" in Amsterdam
were made, complimentary seats for officials were obtained,
and much other work of a similar nature was performed.
It would have been impossible for the undersigned to
have taken sufficient time from his business to have done
everything alone. Mr. Wilfred Hoover assisted the under-
signed before the arrival of the "Roosevelt" and thereafter
was detailed by Major Rose to various duties.
It would be my suggestion, for future guidance, that the
work which your attache has to perform be not under-esti-
mated and it would be advisable either to appoint an attache
who is in a position to devote a very large part of his time to
this work and during the Games absolutely all of his time,
or to make provisions that your attache has the assistance of
a competent man, whose entire services are available for
the work.
I wish to state in conclusion that my work was facilitated
by the cooperation of everyone connected with our team and
that I prize the many pleasant contacts which my duties af-
forded me.

THE AMERICAN OLYMPIC ASSOCIATION


By COL. A. G. MILLS
who was largely instrumental in planning it and formulating
its first constitution.
The American Olympic Association was organized No-
vember 25, 1921.
In its Constitution as then adopted its "OBJECTS" were
thus stated:
"Objects—Its objects shall be to create and
maintain a permanent organization representa-
tive of amateur sports and of organizations de-
voted thereto in the United States for the pur-
pose of assuring continued interest in the Olym-
pic Games and more particularly to constitute
seasonably in advance of each Olympiad an
American Olympic Committee which shall have
jurisdiction of all matters pertaining to the
participation of the United States therein."
Theretofore from the revival of the Olympic Games in
Athens in 1896 the representation of the United States therein
was conducted mainly by leaders in amateur sports practically
self appointed, meeting seasonably before each Olympiad
54 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

and constituting by additions to their own numbers an


American Olympic Committee which organized and man-
aged the representation of the United States in each ensuing
Olympiad. While the personnel of this group of leaders in
the amateur field necessarily changed with the passing years,
continuity of interest was maintained to the extent that each
succeeding Olympiad found the United States prepared,
through this medium, to play its part and judged by the re-
sults to do so effectively, as the record shows that without
exception the United States emerged from the contests with
the greatest number of honors. It should be said of this group
that while practically its members were self appointed, they
were well qualified for the task alike as representatives of
competitive American sports, inspired by patriotic zeal for
the maintenance of American supremacy, and qualified by ex-
perience for the management of an undertaking of such im-
portance.
Each succeeding Olympiad, however, presented new dif-
ficulties.
Unlike some other countries, our Government has never
borne the expense of transportation to the Games or the main-
tenance of our competing athletes thereat, nor has it ever
made direct appropriations of money to meet, or to aid in
meeting, the necessary expenses. It is true that in the
Seventh Olympiad (held at Antwerp in 1920) the last in
which the representation of the United States was conducted
by this group, our Government undertook to furnish a vessel
to carry the athletes, officials, etc. to the Games, but at the
last moment a smaller and less suitable vessel had to be
substituted, and even this was only partially available for the
purpose, as visiting statesmen and others were assigned to
the more desirable staterooms, thus giving reasonable ground
for dissatisfaction to our athletes and rendering it impossible
for our Committee to properly care for them. While this was
not the fault either of our Government or of our Committee,
it greatly increased the difficulties confronting our Committee.
This experience, among other conditions, led our Committee
to seriously consider the creation of a permanent Association,
consisting of all amateur sports bodies, and in addition there-
to as many as possible of the various organizations in the
United States devoted wholly or in part to conducting or fos-
NINTH OLYMPIAD 55

tering amateur sports, so that thereafter the participation of


the United States in these events might be conducted indepen-
dently of Government financial aid.
Thereupon in winding up its affairs in connection with
the Seventh Olympiad, our American Committee appointed a
"Reorganization Committee," charged with the duty of for-
mulating such a plan and drafting a tentative Constitution of
a proposed permanent organization. This Committee held
several meetings, and finally, in the summer of the following
year, presented its report to a reconvened meeting of the
American Olympic Committee, which, upon the adoption of
this report, sent copies of the plan of organization not only to
all amateur governing bodies in the United States, but also to
many others interested in whole or in part in promoting ama-
teur sports in the United States. Finally at a convention,
held in November 1921, of representatives of the invited or-
ganizations, a form of Constitution was adopted and the new
Association organized, as stated at the beginning of this
article.
In this Constitution, in addition to the declaration of
"Objects" already quoted, provision was made for representa-
tion of all participating organizations on a basis of represen-
tation which allotted a lesser number of votes to several as-
sociations whose activities were not wholly devoted to athletic
sports.
It was also provided that there should be a meeting once
in four years called the "Quadrennial Meeting," of this perma-
nent Association, whereat amendments of its Constitution
would be in order, and the time for holding such Quadrennial
Meeting was fixed for the month of November in the second
year preceding the next Olympiad.
Two such Quadrennial Meetings have been held, the first
in 1922, and the last in 1926. At the latter the statement of
"Objects" of the Association was amplified so as to include a
declaration of its principles by adding to the statement of
"Objects" already quoted, the following:
"Furthermore, this Association is not or-
ganized for pecuniary profit; its aims are wholly
altruistic. It seeks to foster and promote at
home the participation of all the people in ama-
teur sports and the physical and moral better-
56 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

ment of the youth of our country, by physical


education; by inculcating habits of temperance,
of self-reliance coupled with self-restraint; and
by discipline, team-work, courage and generous
rivalry; and internationally, better understand-
ing and more friendly relations among the na-
tions, by stimulating chivalric competitions in
amateur sports."
At each of these Quadrennial Meetings, amendments as
to details were adopted, but no fundamental changes have
been made, although the general trend of amendment has
been in the direction of unifying the functions of the Associa-
tion and of the American Olympic Committee created by it.
Since the formation of the American Olympic Association
in 1921, the Eighth and Ninth Olympiads have passed into
history, for both of which ample funds for meeting all ex-
penses of America's representation have been provided
through its instrumentality, although at each of these Olym-
piads the cost of America's representation was greater than
ever before; the one in Paris in 1924 involving, in addition to
the transportation of athletes, and officials, the renting of a
fine private park and the building of a village for housing our
athletes during the Games, and for the second, that at Amster-
dam in the present year, the chartering of a commodious
steamer used for transportation to and from the Games and
also for housing the athletes during the Games. Also at each
of these Olympiads the primacy of the United States was well
maintained In the contests. Indeed in the Olympiad just
ended, while there were disappointments in the failure of
some of our star athletes to gain first place, we did secure a
greater number than any other competing nation, and in the
judgment of many interested in amateur sports in general
and the Olympic Games in particular, this last Olympiad was
by far the most successful of all, in that its honors were more
widely distributed among athletes of the participating nations.
Of the American Olympic Association thus created it
may be fairly said that it has realized the aims and the ex-
pectations of its founders, and despite changes in details, it is
likely to endure as the best instrumentality thus far devised
for properly conducting the participation of the United States
in the Olympic Games.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 57

TENTH OLYMPIAD AT LOS ANGELES


By WILLIAM MAY GARLAND
United States member, International Olympic Committee;
President, California Tenth Olympiad Association

To persons who know California there is an amazing portent


in her attitude toward the holding of the Olympic Games at Los
Angeles in 1932.
It is irrevocably expressed in her voting of $1,000,000 State aid
for the Games. The amount is insignificant as compared to the
whole-heartedness of the giving. The majority of favorable votes
for the measure almost equaled the number of dollars of the
appropriation.
Governments have subsidized the Olympic Games in the past.
This is probably the first time that the people of a country or state
—as sovereign voters—have ordered and provided the funds for
the subsidization.
California takes her play seriously and her work light-heartedly.
The line of demarkation between the two has an elasticity of ex-
pedience that makes for common cause in most undertakings. The
resultant verve in the doing of things has piled up an awesome
record of accomplishments.
So that Californians themselves now are enlarging their expecta-
tions with regard to the splendid proportions that the Olympic
presentation may be expected to reach. A united California is a
dynamic force. It has in this instance been directed toward a world
purpose—the purpose of forty-six nations—that of making the
1932 staging of the Olympic Games an achievement of world mag-
nitude and excellence, against which to measure the future in
Olympic enterprise.
Before discounting this prophetic optimism, one should consider
that through the election returns of November 6, 1928, and
through countless other expressions of sentiment it has been
made apparent that practically every Californian, from street
urchin to banker, from school boy to educator, from laborer to
captain of industry, from farmer to consumer and salesman to
promoter, is a proponent for the Games.
Definite accomplishments of that determined spirit make it im-
possible to ignore its existence as a forward force to achievement.
It built the immense aquaduct that brought water 250 miles to
Los Angeles. It converted Los Angeles harbor from a mud flat
into one of the greatest seaports in the world. It laid a web-work
of good roads that give swift access to every place of interest or
utility in the far reaches of the State. Finally it conceived the
Boulder Dam and induced Uncle Sam to take the job of building it.

Los Angeles Coliseum, located in Exposition Park, ten minute's from the business center, where the games of the Tenth Olympiad will be
held. Plans are under way for enlarging the Coliseum from its present reserved seat capacity of 80,000 to 110,000 seats.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 59

In the light of these things, the Californian is too lost in con-


templating what California will probably do with the Olympic
undertaking, to which she has set her united enthusiasm, to permit
any indulgence of boastful prediction as to what he is certain she
will do. He knows that the ship is under way and that being
aboard or getting aboard is of prime importance.
Back of it all—of course—bulk natural resources. Of these,
the climate, the roominess of smiling lands, the inviting waters and
the inspiring heights of the mountains all are Nature's incom-
parable contribution toward the success of the Olympic Games at
Los Angeles. Then there is the preparation that Los Angeles has
been making for the holding of the Games for some years past.
Their advent here was in the minds of the designers and builders
of the great Coliseum that because of its magnificent proportions
has helped sports in Southern California to take on Olympic pro-
portions already.
This general disposition to build in anticipation of growth in
Los Angeles will make available for the purpose of the Olympic
exhibitions many of the other permanent structures of the city—
auditoriums, gymnasiums, athletic fields, swimming pools, tennis
courts, polo grounds, golf courses and apurtenances of sports almost
without number. They represent many millions of dollars of per-
manently invested money—made available in the staging of the
Olympic Games through foresight and optimism.
Greek civilization had its life pulse in its striving for perfection
of manhood. The magnificence of the era of Pericles was a product
of the ideals that kept the Olympic Games a going institution for
nearly twelve centuries. The favorable climatic conditions of the
Olympic season, during July and August, fostered the Games and
what went with them.
In California such ideal weather is prevalent through almost the
entire 365 days of each year. The Latitude of Los Angeles is
slightly south of that of Greece and the climate is decidedly more
equable. The natural conditions are sufficiently alike to account
perhaps for a kinship of ideals.
And this thing must be reckoned with. Ideals have converted
the natural conditions of California into resources. Ideals in action
are responsible for pyramiding achievements. Who is to say that
the climate akin to that in which the civilization of Greece flour-
ished may not have wakened in California's millions of people the
love for the beautiful, the excellent and the joys that had been
starved in their ancestors who fought the rigors of life in colder
lands?
Who can deny that the vote of approval for the Olympic under-
taking is evidence that the spirit of California is akin to the spirit

of which the ancient Olympic Games were emblematic? The State


is fast becoming home to many of the greatest artists of modern
times. Writers, painters, sculptors, architects of international
fame, builders of the world's great engineering triumphs, composers
of the world's present day expressions in music and song in an
astonishing number have founded homes in California. Many
have always lived here. Others have resorted to its climate and
succumbed to its charm.
So that the setting afforded by Los Angeles for the Olympic
Games is regarded as quite as satisfactory from the idealistic
standpoint as from the practical. Indeed, it is the idealism that
has made the impressive undertaking practical and that will insure
its success. Because of it the sacred tenets and principles that the
Games are designed in modern times to safeguard and perpetuate
will be safe and be given impetus. And because of the splendid
dimensions to which the presentation bids fair to be magnified and
the permissable ramifications that will be evolved when the rest of
the world and California play together in Southern California in
1932, it is probable that the Olympic Games will have taken on a
new significance when it has all become history.
But aside from the cultural impetus that may be expected to
come jointly to California and the institution of the Olympic
Games from their staging in Los Angeles, there remains the cer-
tainty of ideal conditions for surpassing achievement in all of the
athletic contests that are the basis of the Games. California's
athletes have always had as contributory to their triumphs the
ideal conditions of training that will be afforded all participants in
the contest of 1932.
Contestants can be confident that every natural advantage,
every achievable accommodation, of land, weather, buildings and
equipment, as well as spirit of the people, will be theirs to com-
mand. They are already here in abundance to meet the demands
Under such conditions, it is anticipated that the gathering of
athletes and contestants in all events and features of the Olympic
festival will surpass in numbers that of anything in history. Then
with everything contributing to the achievement of the best pos-
sible by every participant, the prediction is common that world
records in many events will be relegated in shattered bits to the
past and new records made that will be the inspiration to genera-
tions to come.
And finally, California has already set its heart upon revival of
all that may be of the display of the beautiful in the arts, in sculp-
ture, painting, poetry, drama, music, that was characteristic of the
historic Greek festival. Indeed many of the most active propo-
nents of the bringing of the Games to Los Angeles were the leaders
62 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

and patrons of the arts. A surpassing exhibition of the world's


finest artistic triumphs is planned as a feature of the year's at-
tractions.
In confidence the populace has delegated the work of bringing
about the realization of its wishes and is serene in its expectations of
splendid success. And the machinery for its achievement is al-
ready in motion under the guidance of men whose business is suc-
cess in what they undertake.
With the wondrous stage thus set by nature in California, plus
the necessary additions thereto of structures, facilities and equip-
ment required, most of which are already completed or under way,
it now remains only for the other nations constituting the world
organization of modern Olympism to insure the sending of ade-
quately representative teams and exhibits to make the Tenth
Olympic Games a pronounced success.

NINTH OLYMPIAD 63

REPORT OF ASSISTANT TO PRESIDENT


JOSEPH A. REILLY
America's paticipation in the 1928 Olympics, successful
in the face of surprisingly stiff opposition from vastly im-
proved athletes of many nations and in spite of innumerable
handicaps that could not have been foreseen by the most ex-
perienced of athletic officials, taught lessons that may prove
of value in future international meets. This report, therefore,
will be confined largely to recommendations based on the
writer's 1928, as well as 1924, experiences.
1—Raising Olympic Funds
The raising of Olympic funds, as described in detail in
other reports, should convince even the most skeptical that it
is to the major sport governing bodies that America must
look for the bulk of the money necessary to defray Olympic
expenses.
In the past, except in New York and a very few other
places, the mistake has been made of starting too late. We
should not wait for a drive for funds in the last four or five
months before the Olympics, but rather should make our
plans immediately and devote the greater part of four years
to working out this most important detail.
Every sport should meet its full Olympic expenses. This
can be done by charging a nominal Olympic tax for every
sanction granted and by conducting a series of Olympic
benefits. The Metropolitan A. A. U., which set the pace for
the nation in the 1928 Olympics, raised approximately
$65,000 by the aforementioned means and did not start until
18 months before the Games.
The first duty of the American Olympic Association
should be to induce all sport bodies to adopt before the end
of 1928 the general plan of the Metropolitan A. A. U., mak-
ing such changes as may be required by local conditions.
An appeal should be made to every athletic club in the
country to stage at least one event for the benefit of the
Olympic Fund. Most of the large clubs now do this. Others
would follow if approached.
All chairmen of local Olympic committees should be
named soon after the Quadrennial Meeting of the Olympic
Association and any who fail to produce results within a
reasonable time should be supplanted.

NINTH OLYMPIAD 65

In order to arouse public interest in the Olympic Games,


an Olympic week should be designated in February or March
preceding the meet and efforts made to have the President of
the United States, all Governors and Mayors issue proclama-
tions. During the week carefully prepared stories featuring
local Olympic candidates should be released to all newspapers.
It is during this week that the drive for funds among the
general public should be conducted.
II—Separate Management
Every sport should be under separate management and
the Manager or his representative, a person well qualified in
the particular branch, should be delegated to make complete
arrangements for travel, housing and training. It is not
practicable to have all the teams travel as a unit since each
sport has individual and special needs that can be appreciated
and taken care of only by an expert. Travel ought to be by
the fastest steamers and trains with first class passage always
provided. The teams should be housed in the best available
hotels, reserved at least a year in advance, with competent
American chefs in charge of food. Practice should be held
close to living quarters, thereby obviating the long bus rides
that certainly have not helped the 1924 and 1928 teams. I do
not approve of living on a ship but agree that it was the only
course possible in 1928.
The Manager, with his or her assistants, all coaches or
chaprones should be appointed at least one year in advance of
the Games. Give the Manager additional powers and re-
sponsibility so that he or she will be boss of the entire unit.
III—Method of Selecting Teams
All 1928 teams were selected after final tryouts held
shortly (except in boxing) before the date of sailing. Al-
though this method has often been attacked it is the only
possible one for America. With such a large country, so
many athletes to choose from, and the absurdity of expecting
to eliminate entirely sectional feeling, we can choose our
Olympic representatives only after fair contests presided
over by impartial outstanding sportsmen. Occasionally, the
fortunes of fate may eliminate a great and worthy athlete but
it will be much better for the morale of the Team and cause
far less criticism to name the place winners in tryouts than to

supplant arbitrarily one of those having scored, unless of


course, in outstanding cases where there can be no question
of the substitute's ability.
Alternates should never be carried to the Olympics,
They generally prove trouble makers and tend to break down
the spirit of those who had already earned the right to com-
pete. Unfortunately, most people lose sight of the fact that
final Olympic entries must be made at least 10 days before
events, and no alterations are permitted.
No athlete should be sent to the Olympics unless he or
she has a reasonable chance of making a good showing. It
does not help the standard of American athletics to see on the
field performers who are hopelessly outclassed.
I advocate sectional tryouts in all sports. The country
should be divided into not more than eight divisions and only
those who clearly earn the right should be permitted in the
final tryouts where the fields must be reduced.
IV—Women's Teams
All women's teams should be under the management of
women who should decide on transportation, living quarters,
uniforms, entertainment, side trips for relaxation, practice
sites and all other routine duties. These managers should
have had actual Olympic experience. This would mean that
our women managers for the next few Olympiads must neces-
sarily be rather young but the successful experiment in the
case of women's swimming at Amsterdam proved in many
ways the value of this suggestion. Women of practical ex-
perience best understand the needs of their charges.
Representatives to Federations
Sport bodies should be urged to exercise unusual care in
selecting representatives to international federations control-
ling Olympic contests. At least one delegate to each federa-
tion should be relieved of all routine duties but should be part
of the Olympic personnel. Federations take up all of one's
attention and no manager, coach, trainer, or Olympic execu-
tive can spare the time from general duties. In the Inter-
national Amateur Athletic Federation, the governing body in
Track and Field, a country's representative on the council
can have no part in the management of his team. As a result,

NINTH OLYMPIAD 69

Murray Hulbert, the United States member at Amsterdam,


was obliged to remain separated from the actual management
of the American delegation. Other sports might well make
the same ruling.
All federation representatives should be directed to in-
troduce legislation compelling the country holding the Olym-
pics to permit practice at the actual site of the contests at
least 10 days before any sport opens.
Federation representatives should advocate the selection
of honest, impartial, competent and experienced officials in
sports such as boxing and wrestling, in which human judg-
ment determines the wiinner. The desire among smaller
nations to defeat the United States is so keen and feeling
against us in boxing and wrestling is running so high in cer-
tain quarters that it would be unwise to continue Olympic
activity in the sports mentioned unless a radical improvement
in officiating can be expected. Placing the referee in the ring
in boxing is a step in the right direction.
VI—Press Bureau
An Olympic Press Bureau should be established in the
United States under the leadership of an experienced news-
paperman about six months before the Games. This bureau
should issue regularly timely, intelligent newspaper articles
on every detail of the country's Olympic program. If the
Press and Public appreciated the absolute fairness of the
Olympic movement and the desire of all to do what is best
for the country, there would be considerably less unjustified
criticism.
An important function of the Press Bureau would be to
arrange for daily meetings of all managers with the Press
during the training period to furnish authentic information
and keep the good will of correspondents which was obtained
by a similar procedure at Amsterdam.
VII—Director of Equipment
At least six months before the Olympics a veteran of-
ficial should be designated as Director of Equipment and he
should be in charge of and responsible for obtaining every
article required. He should have no other duties.

GENERAL RULES APPLICABLE TO THE CELEBRATION


OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES
1. Definition of an Amateur
The definition of an amateur as drawn up by the respective International Federations of
Sport is recognised for athletes taking part in the Olympic Games.
In a case where there is no International Federation governing a sport the definition shall
be drawn up by the Organizing Committee. The National Association, which in each country
governs each particular sport, must certify on the form that each competitor is an amateur
in accordance with the rules of the International Federation governing that sport.
This declaration must also be countersigned by the National Olympic Committee of that
country. This committee must also declare that it considers the competitor an amateur accord-
ing to the definition of the International Federation in question,

2. Necessary Conditions for Representing a Country.


Only those who are nationals or naturalized subjects of a country, or of a state which is
part of that country, are able to represent that country in the Olympic Games.
Those who have already competed in the Olympic Games cannot compete in future Olympic
Games for another nation even if they have become naturalized subjects of that nation except
in the case of conquest or the creation of a new state ratified by treaty. In the case of naturali-
zation, the naturalized subject must give proof that he was an amateur in his native country
at the time of changing his nationality.
An athlete taking part in the Olympic Games must satisfy the following obligations.
1. Must not be or knowingly have become a professional in the sport for which he is entered
or in any other sport.
2. Must not have received re-imbursement or compensation for loss of salary.
Finally each athlete must sign the following declaration on his honor:
"I, the undersigned, declare on my honor that I am an amateur according to the Olympic
Rules of Amateurism."
3. Age Limit
There is no age limit for competitors in the Olympic Games.
4. Participation of Women
Women are allowed to compete in certain events at the Olympic Games. The programme
sets forth the events in which they may take part.
5. Programme
The official programme of the Olympic Games is drawn up in accordance with the classi-
fication adopted by the International Olympic Committee. The International Olympic
Committee demands, however, that the Olympic programme, must include the following sports:
Athletics
Gymnastics
Defensive Sports (Boxing, Fencing and Wrestling).
Nautical Sports (Rowing, Swimming).
Equestrian Sports (2 events: High School and Cross Country).
Combined Sports (Modern Pentathlon).
Association Football.
Art ppmpetition (Architecture, Literature, Music, Painting and Sculpture).
The Organizing Committee when submitting its programme to the International Olympic
Committee may ask for permission to add:
Athletic Games
Equestrian Games
Cycling
Yachting (Monotype)
Weighlifting
which are equally important Olympic sports.
Each International Federation decides the number of events which are to take place in its
own particular sport after agreement with the Executive Committee and the International
Olympic Committee.
6. Demonstrations
The Organizing Committee of the Games may organize demonstrations of two sports not
included in the programme:
1. A national sport. 2. A sport foreign to the organizing country.
7. Winter Games
The programme for the Winter Games includes the following events: Ski-ing, Skating, Ice
Hockey, Bobsleigh and Toboganning.
Winter sports not governed by an International Federation can only be included in the
Winter Games under the title of "Demonstrations".
In each sport the events are governed by the technical rules of the International Federations
concerned.
However, a special military ski competition may be organized. The number of entries in
each sport and each event shall be fixed by the International Olympic Committee after con-
sultation with the International Federations.
72 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

HOERA! OLYMPIA !
NINTH OLYMPIAD 73
74 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

The prizes, medals and diplomas must be different from those used for the current Olympic
Games.
The Winter Games are governed by all the general rules applicable to the Olympic Games
as well the rules of the Olympic protocol.
8. Organization
The Organizing Committee of the country chosen for the celebration of the Olympic Games
is responsible for the Games and must make all necessary arrangements to this effect. It must
carry on all correspondence relating to its work and it must send out the official invitations to
the different nations.
9. Entries
Entries for all events are received by the National Olympic Committees of each country
who can alone forward them to the Organizing Committee of the Games.
The Organizing Committee must acknowledge them.
If there is no National Olympic Committee in a country the entries must be sent through the
International Olympic Committee.
If a National Olympic Committee considers that any entry does not conform with the
Olympic requirements or the definitions of the International Federations this entry will be
sent on without being countersigned.
(a) Six weeks before the date of the start of the first event each nation must send to the
Organizing Committee a list of the sports and events in which it will participate. This list
can be telegraphed.
(b) The names of the competitors must be received by the Organizing Committee at least
three weeks before the date of the first event in each sport Countries are allowed to replace
these names by others not later than ten days before the start of the first event. These altera-
tions may be sent by telegram. The Organizing Committee must receive the entries written
on the special forms and in duplicate. The names of the athletes must be printed or type-
written.
So as to guarantee that telegraphic communications are genuine, all National Olympic
Committees who use this means of correspondence must communicate to the Organizing Com-
mittee some code word or device to be used in all telegrams sent by them.
The date on which the telegrams are sent on will prevail when observing the terms prescribed.
Entries are not valid unless the above rules are observed.
To permit and to promote during the Olympic Games such displays as are calculated to
exhibit the value of different systems of gymnastic instruction, the I.O.C. will receive direct
entries from groups qualified to offer such displays and transmit them for its use to the Com-
mittee organizing the Games.
No entrance fee can be demanded from the entrants.
10. Number of Entries
The maximum number of entries from each nation in each event is fixed by the International
Federation.
However, the following numbers cannot be exceeded:
(a) For individual events, four competitors per nation (without reserves).
(b) For team events, one team per nation, the number of reserves to be fixed by the In-
ternational Federations concerned.
The last rule does not apply to lawn tennis doubles or the tandem cycle race.
In cases where there is no International Federation for a sport the Organizing Committee
of the Olympic Games fixes the number of entries for this sport in accordance with the above
rules.
11. Non-Acceptance of Entries
The Organizing Committee has the right to refuse any entry without being obliged to make
known the reason for this decision.
Nevertheless, the reason will be communicated confidentially to the National Olympic
Committee concerned,
12. Organization of the Different Sports
The sole responsibility and control of the Games shall rest with that National Committee
to whom the organization of the Games has been entrusted, such organization to be carried
out in accordance with the regulations and protocol of the Olympic Games.
The technical celebration of the Games is according to the rules established by the Congresses
of Paris (1914). Lausanne (1921), and Prague (1923) which determined the functions of the
National Olympic Committees and the International Federations under the direction of the
International Olympic Committee.
The Organizing Committee makes all necessary arrangements for the celebration of the
Olympic Games in accordance with the general regulations adopted by the various Congresses
and the Protocol of the International Olympic Committee.
It must enforce the strictest observance of the technical rules of the International Federa-
tions, these Federations having the right, in each sport, to choose the juries and have the
technical control of the events.
However, the International Federations will choose from amongst their members called
upon to form the Ground Jury and the Jury of Appeal, a maximum of three technical delegates
who must be on the spot 15 clear days before the start of their sport in order to get into touch
with the Organizing Committee and prepare the work of the Juries.
The expenses of these three delegates during the fifteen days before the start of their sport
shall be charged to the Organizing Committee of the Games at the rate of 5 dollars a day.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 75

13. Judging the Events


A Jury of Appeal and a Ground Jury (Judges) shall be appointed for each sport.
Their choice is left to the International Federations. The members of the Jury or Juries
must be on the spot at least five days before the first event of their sport in order to make full
preparations.
The members of these juries and the officials must all be amateurs.
In the case of a jury not being formed when it should have started to function, the Organizing
Committee shall meet and appoint the members.
The Juries of Appeal for the sports not governed by an International Federation shall be
formed by the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games and must be composed of five
members of different nationalities who shall elect their own president.

14. Jury of Honor


During the Games the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee is
constituted a Jury of Honor.
The duty of this Jury is to intervene in all questions of a non-technical nature outside the
jurisdiction of the Juries of the International Federations. They must do this when asked by
the Organizing Committee or at the request of an authorized representative of one of the
parties or voluntarily in case of absolute necessity.

15. Claims
Claims made to the judges, concerned with facts, are decided by them without appeal.
Appeals against other decisions of the judges or with regard to any other matters must be
addressed to the proper Juries of Appeal by a member selected by the Olympic Committee of
the country making the appeal or by a person chosen to take his place.
Unless the International Federation concerned decides upon an extension of time these
claims must be made within one hour after the decision giving rise to the claim. The Jury
shall then give decision after an enquiry and this decision shall be irrevocable.
No claim can be considered unless it is accompanied by a deposit of 100 gold francs (50
guilders).
This sum will not be returned if the claim is made upon frivolous grounds.

16. Claims Against the Qualifications of a Competitor


In the case of a claim concerning the amateur status of a competitor the International
Federation concerned will decide upon the claim.
If the claim is made before the beginning of the competitions and games it is submitted to
the Jury of Appeal qualified to give judgment upon the sport in question. This jury shall
make an immediate decision, without appeal, as to the qualifications laid down in Article 17
and in accordance with the terms of Article 15 of the present regulations.
Apart from the claims enumerated in the above paragraphs (qualification of an amateur)
any claim made after the beginning of the Games must be submitted to the Jury of Appeal,
on the spot and in writing within a quarter of an hour after the conclusion of an event.
As for claims made after the end of the Games against the qualifications of one of the com-
petitors, these must be received by the International Federations concerned within 30 days of
the distribution of prizes.
The Federation shall give its decision after an enquiry and its decision shall be irrevocable.

17. Penalties in Case of Fraud


These shall be laid down as follows:
(a) An athlete convicted of having fraudulently taken the status of an amateur shall be
disqualified and all the points which he has obtained shall be forfeited.
(b) If this athlete's Federation is convicted of being party to this fraud the country to
which he belongs shall be disqualified in the sport or sports in which this athlete is taking part
and all the points obtained by the representatives of this country for these sports shall be
forfeited.
18. Prizes
The prizes at the Olympic Games consist of Olympic medals and diplomas. Each medal
is accompanied by a diploma. A diploma is also given to the winning team in team competitions.
The organizing committee may, upon the suggestion of the International Federation, give
a diploma of merit to a competitor whose performance has been brilliant but who has not won
a prize.
All those participating in the Games shall receive a commemorative medal.
To sum up, three medals will be given for each event:
(a) Individual events: 1. First prize, a silver gilt medal and a diploma; 2. Second prize,
a silver medal and a diploma; 3. Third prize, a bronze medal and a diploma.
(b) Team events: 1. To the winning team, a diploma and to each member of the team a
silver gilt medal and a diploma; 2. To the second, a diploma to the team and to each member
of the team a silver medal and a diploma; 3. To the third, a diploma to the team and to each
member of the team a bronze medal and a diploma.
In the team events all those who have actually taken part in an event shall have a right
to the medal and diploma corresponding to the prize gained by the team.
The names of the winners shall be inscribed upon the walls of the Stadium where the Games
have been opened and closed.

24. Travelling Expenses


The Organizing Committee has nothing to do with the travelling expenses of competitors
and officials, except as in Article 12 of these regulations. It is however, its duty to take all
necessary steps to reduce them to a minimum and it must put itself at the disposal of those

All expenses must be borne by the countries taking part who are also responsible for any damage
done by their teams.
26. Attaches

Amateur Definition of the "International Amateur Athletic Federation"
Accepted by the Federation at its Congress, at Berlin, 1913, with modifications made at Lyons,
1914, Geneva, 1921, Paris, 1923, and the Hague, 1926.
1. An amateur is one who competes only for the love of sport.
2. Competing for money or any other pecuniary reward in any sport makes the competitor
a professional in all sports.
3. In track and field athletic sports one who knowingly competes with, or against, a profes-
sional, thereby becomes a professional.
4. In the event of an amateur competing with, or against, a professional in sports other than
track and field athletics, not for money and other percuniary reward, then the Member of the
Federation to which the athlete belongs shall be the judge of such competitor's status accord-
ing to its own rules, and its certificate as to the competitor's status shall be accepted by all
other Members of the Federation.
5. One who teaches, trains, or coaches in any sport for money or other pecuniary considera-
tions is a professional, except, however, that so far as competition in his own country, and there
only, is concerned, an employee or representative of the state or school or other educational
institution, who teaches, trains or coaches as an incident to his main vocation or employment,
may, or may not, be a professional, as the Association of the country of such a person shall
decide.
6. Anyone who shall have knowingly become a professional shall not be reinstated as an
amateur.
As an interpretation of the above fundamental rules and to be considered as part thereof,
the following regulations are set down, and any athlete who violates any thereof shall, thereby,
become a professional:
(a) An amateur cannot wager, or be interested in a wager, money bet, or stake made in
connection with the athletic competition in which he is to participate.
(b) An amateur must not compete for any prize or token which cannot be suitably inscribed
with some words or letters commemorative of the competition. Prizes must not be of a char-
acter which cannot be possessed or retained for a period of the life of the recipient.
(c) An amateur cannot compete for a prize or token of a value of more than ten pounds,
except by consent of the Association of his country.
(d) An amateur shall not sell, pawn or give away his prizes, and shall hold the same sub-
ject at all times to the inspection of the Association of his country.
(e) An amateur cannot enter or compete in any contest under a name other than his own
or one assumed permanently by him for purposes of competition and registered by him with
the Association of his country.
(f) An amateur cannot issue a challenge or in any manner evidence his intention of com-
peting with, or against a professional, or for money or its equivalent.
(g) An amateur cannot accept or in any manner receive any money or other pecuniary
gain in going to, attending, or returning from an athletic meeting, other than his actual outlay
for railroad, steamship, sleeping-car fare, and for meals and lodging. Under no circumstances
shall the amount paid for expense money exceed the cost of one first class railway or steam-
ship accommodation, one first class sleeping accommodation, and one pound or the equivalent
per day for meals and lodging.

(h) An amateur cannot receive payment for his travelling and other expenses to enable
him to take part in competitions abroad, for a longer sojourn than 21 days in all per calendar
year spent in foreign countries. Accumulation of these 21 days in two consecutive years
cannot be allowed. An extension can be given the athlete by the Association of his country,
if he is selected by said Association to take part in Olympic Games or represent his country
in matches against another country. The Council of the I.A.A.F. is entitled to make exten-
sions also in other cases if it deems proper. The national associations are responsible for the
faithful observance of the above rule and shall keep a complete record of time spent abroad
and expenses incurred by their athletes, the record to be laid before the I.A.A.F. if called for.
(i) Any expense money must be paid, not to the athlete, but to the Association of the ath-
lete's country.
(j) An amateur cannot accept travelling expenses or payment of any kind for a trainer
rubber, masseur, friend or relative. (Note.—This rule does not mean that travelling expenses
of trainer and the like cannot be paid, but that such expenses cannot be demanded by, or paid
to, the athlete).
(k) An amateur cannot, directly or indirectly, accept payment for any loss of time or wages
in attending, or training for, any athletic competition.
(l) An amateur cannot, directly or indirectly, receive any reward for becoming, or con-
tinuing as, a member of any club or any other athletic organization.
(m) An amateur cannot compete for or from an athletic organization in whose employ he
is, or who for compensation renders personal services of any kind to such organizations.
(n) An amateur cannot sign a contract agreeing to take a professional position in athletics,
or to take part in any athletic sports for money.
(o) An amateur cannot receive any compensation for using the goods or apparatus of any
firm, manufacturer or agent, nor shall he allow his name to be used as a means of advertising
or recommending the goods of any firm or manufacturer.
In all queistions as to the athlete's amateur status other than those in which the Member of
the Federat on of the country of the athlete has been made the sole arbitrator, the statement
of any Member as to an athlete's status is subject to the review and decision of the Federation.

REPORT OF MANAGER OF TRACK AND FIELD TEAM

MAJOR PATRICK J. WALSH

In the Ninth Olympiad, held at Amsterdam, Holland, the


Track and Field Team (Men) of the United States, upheld
the record made in all Olympiads, since their revival in 1896,
by winning the greatest number of events, namely eight firsts,
six seconds and seven thirds.
This is a remarkable achievement when one considers
that the athletes of 40 nations were competing against the
United States in the 22 events on the Olympic program.
It compares favorably with our record in the VIII Olym-
piad of 1924 when there were 27 events on the program and
the United States won 11 firsts, the decathlon not counting in
the official score.
In the first event on the program, the 16 lb. shot, the
United States won first and second place and we had the
pleasure of seeing two United States' flags hoisted to the top
of the flag staffs at the playing of our National Anthem,
John Kuck was first with a put of 52 feet 1 inch, a new
world's and Olympic record. Herman Brix was second with
51 feet 8¼ inches. In the second event, the high jump, we
had a repetition of the flag raising incident when Robert King
won with 6 feet 4¼ inches. The Broad Jump was won by
Edward B. Hamm, with 25 feet 4¾ inches, which is a new
Olympic record.
The Discus was won by Dr. Clarence L. Houser who suc-
cessfully defended his VIII Olympiad title with a throw of
155 feet 3 in., a new Olympic record.
In the Pole Vault we won all three places and had the
pleasure of seeing 3 United States' flags hoisted to the top of
the flag staffs. Sabin Carr won with 13 feet 9½ inches, a new
Olympic record; Wm. Droegemueller was second and Charles
McGinnis was third.
The splendid victory of Ray Barbuti in the 400 meters
run, in 47-4/5s. was one of the outstanding events of the
whole meeting.
The sprint relay team won the 400 meter relay and
equalled the world's and Olympic record of 41 seconds.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 87

The 1600 meter relay was won by the U. S. in 3 minutes


14-2/5s., a new world's and Olympic record.
The Track and Field Team in the IX Olympiad experi-
enced stiffer competition than in any previous Olympiad.
The teams of the other nations are just finding themselves
after the world war and it must be realized that athletic
ability, modern training methods and fighting hearts are to be
found among the nations of the five continents. We were
beaten in several track events but by better men than repre-
sented the United States. We have no excuses to offer for
our defeats.
The team was properly trained, fed and housed and con-
formed strictly to the rules promulgated by the Managers
and Coaches.
This year conditions in Amsterdam made it desirable to
live on board the S. S. President Roosevelt but in future
Olympiads, in European Countries, I would like to see the
track and field team sent across separate and apart from the
other teams, on a fast steamer, and housed on shore near the
training quarters.
The handling of the Marathon team by Timothy J. Sulli-
van received the commendation of the team and the method
followed by him this year should be adopted in the future.
The rules for the conduct of the Marathon should be stand-
ardized and not made up two days before the race as was done
this year.
The managers, coaches, trainers and team worked in com-
plete harmony and there was not one discordant note during
the entire trip.
My thanks and appreciation are extended to my assistants,
George V. Brown, Robert W. Kennedy and Timothy J. Sulli-
van, to the Head Coach, Lawson Robertson and his assistants
and to the trainers for their attention to duties and assist-
ance at all times.
The team was extended every courtesy by the American
Olympic Committee and all the officials on the S. S. President
Roosevelt and I wish to record my approval of the handling
of the entire Olympic Expedition.

REPORT OF MANAGER OF MARATHON TEAM


TIMOTHY J. SULLIVAN
After a series of Marathon Races held as Tryouts
throughout the United States, the selection committee con-
sidered the competitors of each of these marathon races and
the performances of the winners and the place men and se-
lected the following team:
Clarence De Mar, winner of the Boston Marathon, James
Henigan, second.
Joie Ray, winner of the Long Beach, L. I. Marathon;
Albert Michelson, second.
William Agee, winner of the Baltimore, Md. Marathon;
Harvey Frick, second.
The times of these three Marathons were the fastest of
all the tryouts held, which included Pawtucket, R. I., San
Francisco, Cal.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Detroit,
Mich.; Boston, Mass.; Long Beach, L. L; Baltimore, Md.
Some of the men selected competed in as many as four of
these tryouts, which were held from April up until June.
This meant that some of our competitors did too much Mara-
thon running, but as the selection committee had not held a
meeting to pass upon the qualifications of the men to repre-
sent this country in the Olympic Marathon, our distance run-
ners had no other alternative than to enter as many marathon
races to try to show their calibre. This in my opinion was
too much of a strain on any class of competitors to keep
men in condition over a period of four or five months up to
the time of the final selection. When conditions that had to
be met in the conducting of the various tryouts are considered
and what the conditions were in Amsterdam, the final selec-
tions should have been made at least a month before the team
was finally decided upon.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 89

The conditions and conducting of marathons in the


United States, perhaps with one exception were not up to the
rules governing Olympic Marathons. There has in the past, in
marathons in the United States relief been given to the run-
ners, in some instances at each half mile. If in the future in
regard to all races of this character, stations for the relief of
the competitors be placed at intervals of five miles, then we
will be training our athletes in marathons, to the conditions as
laid down in the I. A. A. F. rules governing marathon racing.
A copy of the rules that were used to conduct the Am-
sterdam Olympic Marathon are herewith inserted. Then
again in transporting marathon runners to the Olympic
Games they should be sent over at least one month before
their event is held, as was proven in this last Olympic mara-
thon the team showed that in two weeks they were able to
get into condition to finish the race, but as to perfecting speed
work the time was too short. All of our boys finished in good
physical condition, after a shower and a massage, all after be-
ing examined by the doctors were found in fit condition to
leave the stadium without any medical attention whatsoever.
As to the course in the last Olympic Games, it was in
most cases a flat level road in most instances, macadam, with
the start from the Stadium over newly laid brick pavement;
on to a dike along the Amstel River about 9 miles with shade
trees on the one side; then on to a road leading into the coun-
try. This part of the course which covered about three miles
was in open country, thence onto a road between two rows of
trees about two and one quarter miles long, thence back to the
dike along the Amstel River to a point three miles from the
Stadium to a road which lead to a street with rough paving
blocks back to the Stadium. In all of the marathon courses
laid out for try-outs in the United States the nearest in run-
ning conditions was the Long Beach Marathon, with the ex-
ception that all the relief to the runners was confined to four
relief stations, and all vehicular traffic was barred with the ex-
ception of an automobile for the Referee which was in front
of the first runner, one for the Official Timers and two auto-
mobiles to patrol the course.
My recommendations in governing future tryouts would
be to:
90 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

1. Consider the experience of the runners entered


for tryouts and their past records.
2. To have the course as near as possible conform
to the course of the Olympic Marathon.
3. That rules be laid to follow as near as possible
those to govern the Olympic Marathon.
4. That our representatives on the I. A. A. F.
know what these rules are to be, have a copy of same at
least before the team sails from the United States.
5. That the marathon tryouts be held in March,
April or May and designate what ones are to be con-
sidered as final tryouts.
6. To send the team of Marathon runners at least
one month before the Olympic Marathon is held and to
house them as near the course as possible.
7. To designate a trainer to look after them who
will have no other duty to perform.

19. Medical service will be organized. A competitor
must at once retire from the race if ordered to do so by a
member of the medical staff officially appointed.

REPORT OF HEAD COACH TRACK AND FIELD TEAM


LAWSON ROBERTSON
Two questions I have been asked most often since the
return of the Olympic team from Amsterdam are these:
"Have the Games failed as an agency to produce
a better understanding and more cordial relations
among the participating nations?"
"Does the defeat of our athletes in so many of the
track events mean that America is deteriorating ath-
letically?"
My answer to both queries is an emphatic a No." I am
aware that some writers, both American and English, charge
the Olympic Games with producing international discord, and
to prove their point have raked up all the irritating incidents
that have occured since the revival of the games in 1896. It is
true that previous Olympic meetings have witnessed exhibi-
tions of ill-feeling and poor sportsmanship, with the blame
quite evenly distributed among the competing nations. But
these incidents, unfortunate as they were, for the most part
were due to lack of restraint by the rooters, after which news-
paper publicity and discussion added fuel to the fire. This was
particularly true of the 400-meter run at the London Games
in 1908 when Carpenter, of the American team, was disquali-
fied for an alleged foul against Halswelle, of England. The
marathon run of the same year produced equally bitter feeling.
However, an analysis of these two events, as well as of most of
NINTH OLYMPIAD 93

the minor incidents that have occurred since then will show-
that the Games themselves should not be held responsible.
As a matter of fact, the Olympic Games should be credited
with the gradual elimination of just the sort of international
misunderstanding and animosities as existed a quarter of a
century ago not only in athletics but in nearly all contacts be-
tween the old world and the new. In the early days of the
Olympic Games, England and the United States were virtu-
ally the only serious contestants. England, in fact, had been
America's instructor, and England, unfortunately, had not
realized that the pupil had surpassed his teacher. That was
demonstrated for the first time at Paris in 1900, and it became
universally recognized after the 1908 Games. Probably Eng-
land was not as charitably inclined toward the American
champions as she might have been, and it is equally true that
the victorious Americans were not as modest as they should
have been.
A great change has been wrought in international athletic
relations since 1908. No one who saw the thousands of Ger-
mans at Amsterdam stand up and cheer Lord Burgh ley and
Douglas Lowe when they won their spectacular victories for
England will ever forget that scene and what it meant to think
back just ten years when the Germans and the British were at
each other's throats. And although the English were winning
events which we had confidently expected our own men to
win, the Americans, spectators as well as athletes, joined in
the applause and congratulations. There were other incidents
in which the same splendid spirit was displayed.
Those scenes would not have been possible twenty years
ago, and they demonstrate, as nothing else could, just how
much these Games have done to improve international friend-
ship. It has been said that American victories were not
so cordially acclaimed at Amsterdam. That is true, but Ameri-
can victories in the Olympic Games had previously been so
constant that the other nations had come to consider even
second places as moral victories. Under the circumstances
their gloating, even at America's expense, was pardonable.
Although we no longer surpass European countries to the
extent we once did, our participation in these Games has had
94 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

an educational advantage abroad. It was following the over-


whelming American victory at London in 1908, that the seed
was sown in European countries, other than England, for the
magnificent teams that have contested with the United States
and England for the Olympic supremacy since 1912. On that
occasion American training methods became the subject of
very close study, because most of the other competing nations
thought they could thus find the secret of our success. Sweden
was the most progressive of the lot and immediately engaged
Ernie Hjertberg, himself a Swede, although he had made his
athletic reputation in this country, to prepare Sweden not only
for holding the Games in 1912, but to develop Swedish talent
to the maximum. How well he succeeded was shown by the
record of the Swedish team in finishing second to America.
Inspired perhaps by the success of Sweden, other countries
engaged American athletes in coaching capacities for the 1916
games which were scheduled for Berlin. The Germans sent
to America for Alvin C. Kraenzlein, a graduate of Pennsylva-
nia and acknowledged to be the world's greatest athlete.
Kraenzlein, although of German ancestry, was American born.
He went to Germany in 1913 and immediately set about ap-
plying American methods to the German gymnastic system.
At the same time Italy engaged Platt Adams, winner of
the standing high jump and broad jump at Stockholm. I was
engaged in a similar capacity for Hungary, but the outbreak
of the war cancelled these plans almost on the eve of sailing.
The 1916 Games themselves were abandoned on account of the
war, but as soon as it was over the American training system
was again called upon to prepare European teams for the 1920
meeting at Antwerp.
Finland, although a dependent of Russia whose flag
floated aloft for every Finnish victory in London in 1908 and
Stockholm in 1912, was quick to emulate American methods.
In fact, Finland sent one of her former athletes to this coun-
try after the Stockholm Games, He spent considerable time
with Mike Murphy at Pennsylvania to observe his training
methods, after which he visited other parts of the country,
particularly the colleges. Finland with the double inspiration
of American training methods and her independence following
NINTH OLYMPIAD 95

the Great War, immediately became America's most dangerous


rival, being second during the last three Olympic meets.
The mastery which European coaches have now obtained
of American methods is largely responsible for the keener
competition which this country has had, particularly since
1912. This rather than any deterioration in American ath-
letes was responsible for the closeness of the Amsterdam
Games. Not only England and Finland, but also France, Ger-
many and Sweden, have developed athletes who compare
favorably with the best in America. They have not as many
high class competitors as the United States has in the different
events, but this is because they have not as big a population to
draw from, nor have they the intensive training methods
which the United States employs from the time a boy enters
the grammar school until he graduates from college.
On the unofficial point basis I doubt if the United States
is in any serious danger of losing its leadership for a great
many years and the rather close call we had this year may be
just the sort of spur we needed.
Few persons have any clear idea of how big an undertak-
ing is involved in maintaining America's leadership in the
Olympic Games. Since these Games were revived in 1896 af-
ter their discontinuance some 1,500 years before, the athletic
authorities of the United States have given this task the most
constant attention. They have developed an organization and
a training plan which have made and kept us supreme. Al-
though the games are held only every four years; the develop-
ment of each team is a four year job.
The final drive for assembling the American team begins
during the year of the Games. Sectional tryouts are held in
various parts of the country and the winners then participate
in the finals at which the team is picked. Suggestions have
been made regarding better plans for the selection of the
team, and it has been contended doubtless with some truth,
that the team as finally picked is not in all particulars the best
that America could get together. But the arbitrary judgment
of a selection committee would probably be just as faulty.
So I see no better way than to let the athletes fight it out in
trials. If a hurdler trips or a runner falls, that is the fortune
96 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

of war. Our present system is preeminently the survival of


the fittest.
Despite the disappointing showing of some of our ath-
letes in the running events, the American team won by a de-
cisive margin in points scored, and America was likewise re-
sponsible for several new Olympic and world's records. We
encountered stiffer competition in the fiat races than we had
expected. We made the mistake of under rating some of our
European competitors and we paid the penalty therefor. I
should like to say in this connection that there was no truth in
the reports that the American team was overfed either on the
boat or during the brief time we were in Amsterdam. It was
a handicap, however, to live under such crowded conditions
as prevailed on the S. S. Roosevelt. In two particulars, train-
ing conditions on the liner and a new and somewhat enervat-
ing climate did work to the disadvantage of the American ath-
letes, but these are conditions which we have always had to
overcome when competing abroad.
One of the best suggestions that has been advanced for
promoting the cause of the American Olympic team is the
establishing of an Olympic foundation to provide the funds
for financing future Olympic trips. Most of the other teams
are financed wholly or in part by their respective govern-
merits. Such a plan would be out of the question in this
country, but we ought to have a Foundation and a permanent
organization to carry on this work in the future. This would
not, of course, eliminate either volunteers who deserve such
gr-eat praise for their part in our successful expeditions of the
past, but surely the business management could be conducted
to better advantage through a permanent salaried organiza-
tion.
Although we did not make the clean sweep at Amsterdam
that was expected of the American team, what we did accom-
plish on the usual scoring basis we outscored the next two
teams and there were few occasions on which the Stars and
Stripes did not float from the official flag poles to indicate a
first, second or third, and once all three places, for America.
Our athletes took their defeats with good grace and their vic-
tories with becoming modesty. They proved themselves good
sportsmen and lived up to the best Olympic ideals.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 97

REPORT OF ASSISTANT TRACK AND FIELD COACH


EDWARD L. FARRELL
As Assistant Coach in charge of competitors in the Broad
and hop step and jump at Amsterdam I can report that scoring
first and third places in the broad jump with a new Olympic
record and second place in the hop step and jump were credit-
able performances.
I want to express to the Olympic Committee my personal
heartfelt thanks for the very courteous treatment accorded the
late Mr. Wm. F. Donovan and myself in his unfortunate ill-
ness. Every possible aid was extended by members of your
Committee to facilitate his return. Mr. Donovan's family and
Harvard University also wish to express their gratitude.
The management of our forces considering the many
groups, the large team and experience that comes only once
every four years, was good.
Criticism of the whole expedition is healthy if construc-
tive. The following is not criticism but a few suggestions
that may help in the future:
1. Raise a 3 million dollar Olympic Fund, the
four year accumulated interest on which will more than
serve the needs of each expedition. The subscribers to
the fund to be life members of the Committee. The U.
S. Treasurer to be treasurer of the fund. (This I sug-
gested to the late William C. Prout—and he thought
well of it.) This sound business proposition does away
with the cost and duplication of effort, besides eliminat-
ing politics and strife within the organization, and the
geopraphical jealousies that crop up every Olympic
year. The time to begin is now, as we have 7 years to
work before our next invasion. It is just as easy to col-
lect 3 million dollars as 300,000 dollars.
2. Eliminate from our future expedition the body
contact teams. These teams mitigate against the true
Olympic spirit. Not that I object to them, I believe in
all healthful competition, but until all the competing
nations realize and are educated to the true purpose of
the Olympic Games it is better to have competition
without body contact.
98 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

3. Blanket entry for each event at Olympics and


final starters named three days previous to trial (if any).
4. Send each group separately under individual
management. Send men's track and field over early as
separate unit on a fast boat. Girls in a unit by them-
selves.
5. To obviate unjust newspaper criticism at home,
a Publicity Committee should give correct and truthful
daily news reports.
6. Have pre-Olympic tryout one year preceding
final tryout and select provisionally 50 per cent of the
final team. Those men selected to follow training
directions and schedules laid down by the Head Coach
and his assistants. If these men are deemed capable or
do creditable performances in the minds of the coaching
staff they should be selected before the final tryouts.
There would still be two places open for those that
blossom in the final tryouts.
7. The final Olympic tryouts to be held at least
seven weeks instead of three weeks before actual Olym-
pics—from a training standpoint I consider this vital.
8. Select Head Coach three years early, he to
select his assistants. The managers of track and field
to be subservient to Head Coach. The Head Coach and
his assistants to decide and select the makeup of the
Olympic team. Their judgment to be final.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT TRACK AND FIELD COACH


HARRY L. HILLMAN
The American Olympic Committee did everything in
their power to assist in making the American participation a
success. Notwithstanding there was considerable criticism
in the selection of the teams, coaches, method of transporta-
tion etc. I do not hesitate in stating that the committee did
everything possible in using not only their judgment, but the
judgment of others in arranging the details of the trip.
There are a few suggestions that I desire to make for
future trips:
1. It would no doubt be advisable to send the
NINTH OLYMPIAD 99

several units to the Games separately, as better con-


trol of the respective groups by the Managers and
Coaches is necessary.
2. I would suggest that the Track and Field sec-
tion of the team be quartered near the training grounds
and that the mens' team be separated from the
womens'.
3. I would suggest that one alternate be selected
for each event in track and field, being regularly select-
ed and the final competitors be the four who conscien-
tiously follow out the rules of training, incidentally the
alternate can be available should one of the regular
members be incapacitated. The final selection of the
four to be made by the Coaches of the team.
4. The preliminary competitions are quite trying
to the American athletes. The Intercollegiate, sec-
tional and final try-outs have a tendency to take the
edge off the American athlete. Some other system of
selection, other than the many tryouts would be ad-
visable.
5. The Head Coach of the Track and Field group
should have full authority in all matters pertaining to
the welfare of the team.
6. If the Track and Field team can be separated
and kept as a unit in the trip to the Games, as well as
in their training, fewer coaches are necessary and ad-
visable.
7. The team should be sent abroad on a fast boat
and as little time spent in the preliminary training be-
fore the Games as is possible.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT TRACK AND FIELD COACH


WILBUR H. HUTSELL
The 1600 meter relay team composed of Baird, Alderman,
Spencer and Barbuti, in winning that event, set a new Olym-
pic and world's record of 3 min. 14 1/5 seconds. They ran in
the above order in preliminaries and finals. The team as
originally selected included John Lewis of Detroit who fin-
ished eighth in the tryouts at Philadelphia. However, on ac-

dash, he was substituted for Lewis, even though he had run


four heats during the two preceding days.
The United States, Germany and Canada, finishing in that
order, were under the world's record of 3 min. 16 seconds.
It is doubtful if our team would have been able to withstand
the strong challenge of the German team if we had been
forced to do our final training on the Amsterdam practice
track. Our Olympic officials made it possible for the relay
team to be taken to a private track at The Hague, forty miles
from Amsterdam, for daily workouts the final week.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT TRACK AND FIELD COACH


THOMAS F. KEANE
Let the track and field teams go over as one unit. The
main interest in the Games is in this particular branch. They
are much too crowded on a boat like the S. S, Roosevelt.
Take them on a fast boat with the usual eight or nine days to
get into condition after arriving. Six days rest on the boat
will help them after the final tryouts which can be held as in
the past.
Don't let the team remain on the boat while abroad. There
was too much boat on the last trip. Athletes need a change.
Too much sameness effects the spirit.
Give your head coach much more authority. From what
I have seen, his advice on matters which he knows is rarely
asked and to my mind, the head coach of an Olympic team
should be the real authority on all matters pertaining to the
athletic end of the team, for if the team is not successful, he
is the one who receives the blame.
The criticism which I have heard relative to over eating,
etc. is all uncalled for, though I do believe that the team
should eat all at the same time. This was of course impossi-
ble on this trip, owing to the fact that the dining room was
too small to accommodate the entire team, which is one more
good reason why the teams should be taken over in separate
units.
Trusting that these suggestions will receive some con-
sideration for the next Olympic Games', I remain.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 101

REPORT OF ASSISTANT TRACK AND FIELD COACH


COACH JOHN J. MAGEE
I might state in the beginning that the American Olympic Com-
mittee members that accompanied the team abroad were men of
experience and unquestionably rendered efficient service.
The facilities aboard the Roosevelt were all that could be ex-
pected under the prevailing conditions for the handling of such a
large number of athletes and passengers.
The housing of the teams aboard the Roosevelt while at anchor
out in the stream at Amsterdam was more to the comfort of the
groups than that at Antwerp in 1920 and at Paris in 1924.
The sub committees of the American Committee certainly did a
splendid job in handling the various groups en route to the training
fields and actual competition.
The training facilities for the American track and field men were
poor, and I attribute the poor showing in several events due to the
inadequate conditions under which the men trained.
The hammer throwers were especially handicapped because of
these conditions. It was necessary for the men to practice in a
remote spot out in the suburb of Amsterdam and I personally dug
and constructed a circle so that the men could get in some practice.
Such conditions are not conducive to keep the morale of the
athletes when one compares them to the splendid facilities at home.
However, there is in my opinion a great improvement in the
European athlete as I observe it both in form and technic. We will
have to go some to win future overseas Olympics.
The efforts of head coach Lawson Robertson were commandable
in the keeping of discipline among the athletes and coaches. In
summing up, I beg to suggest to the next American Olympic Com-
mittee the following recommendations.
1. That the athletic executiveness of Mr. A. C. Gilbert of the
American Committee be elevated to its proper place in future
Olympic matters.
2. That the main team (Track and Field) be sent over as a
separate unit.
3. That the next overseas team be provided better and proper
conditions to train while over there.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT TRACK AND FIELD COACH


JOHN A. RYDER
The executives of the American Olympic Committee
should be awarded the highest commendation for the
thorough efficiency displayed in the management of the very
102 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

many details connected with the transportation of the various


teams. The launches and buses were run with railroad-like
dispatch. Every contingency was foreseen and provided for.
It does seem that nothing except army training could have
brought about such well-nigh perfection.
The managers of the track and field team did their work
thoroughly and smilingly. The coaches worked in harmony
and without one jot of jealousy.
Once it was established that the meet must be held In
Amsterdam and that sailing from New York must be on July
11th; that while in Amsterdam the athletes must sleep and eat
aboard ship; incidentals presumedly without the jurisdiction
of the executives in charge of the conduct of the trip—it is
difficult to conjure how Improvement could be had.
As a conditioner of runners I would have preferred an
earlier start. I believed then and believe now that one or two
more weeks to enable our best men to arrive at perfect condi-
tion would have given them that perfectness of physical con-
dition which would have enabled them to recuperate from
heats and be at their best on succeeding days. I believe that
for runners sleeping on the boat was bad. One noted runner
would state each morning: "I did not sleep two hours last
night." This because his room—occupied by three persons-
was within ten feet of the mail rack whither would congregate
on each arrival of the launch—or taxi-launches—the many
non-athletes at all hours of the night and morning—and none
were silent.
In conclusion I must reiterate: I do not conceive how any
adverse criticism can be made against the management of the
trip. Such critics overheard by me were concerned about
better sleeping quarters for themselves or for friends—a tri-
vial, selfish matter but Indicative of the fact they were hard-
put to criticise.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT TRACK AND FIELD COACH


HENRY F. SCHULTE
The late and strenuous tryouts wrere the chief cause of
trouble In this Olympiad. This, of course, applies only to the
track events. In the field events the final tryouts offer the
sanest solution.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 103

The final tryouts should be two weeks earlier than for


this past year. That will give all contestants time to recover
their physical and spiritual fire.
In track events it would be well to grant a bye to the
winners of the great games such as the N.C.A.A. and the I.C.
A.A.A.A. and possibly the Pacific Coast and Southern Collegi-
ate championships. Then let all other contenders eliminate to
the finals and have the finals two or three days after the pre-
liminaries. Allow three or four stars to bye to the finals and
run the four best from the preliminaries to compete with them
in the finals. The trials should never again be held on any-
thing short of an eight lane track. In addition it will be neces-
sary to have a system of placing the best men regardless of
tryouts. When one considers how Germany, Canada and oth-
ers are crashing through it is evident that we must find a way
to select our teams as honorably as for the past Olympiad but
nevertheless it is doubly evident that we must not drain our
men of the very last shred of physical and spiritual stamina
before we throw them at our international opponents.
Some other suggestions : Our team should be put into the
Games with some definite team ideals. That can be done
readily enough. The right sort of a talk to the team as a team
would do much to make our showing more satisfactory.

REPORT OF TRACK AND FIELD TRAINER


MICHAEL J. RYAN
In submitting this report I wish to thank the Members
of the American Olympic Committee, team Managers and
Coaches and other officials who were a part of the American
Olympic party to the ninth Olympiad at Amsterdam last
summer, for their close co-operation and constant considera-
tion in helping me perform my duties as a member of the
training staff of the Track and Field Team.
My duties as Trainer were mostly detailed by Head Coach
Lawson Robertson and were of a varied nature. During the
trip across on the boat I was detailed to keep a chart of the
weights of every member of the track and field team, who
were required to weigh in on the official scales every day be-
fore their workout. Every evening, I made a detailed report
104 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

of the weight variations of the different athletes to the head


coach.
While in Amsterdam, I was detailed to the Police train-
ing field, where the field athletes did their training. I devoted
a great deal of my time to building adequate circles for the
weight throwers and runways for the jumpers and vaulters.
During the Games at the Stadium I did detail work in the
preparation of various athletes for their competitions.
In winning their Ninth consecutive Olympic Champion-
ship, I believe that the American Track and Field forces did
a very commendable job under the conditions that prevailed
and in spite of the intense foreign competition. I believe that
the harmony which existed on the Coaching and Training
staff under the leadership of head Coach Lawson Robertson
of the University of Pennsylvania and the very close expert
attention which was given to the details of all the competi-
tions by the staff had a big share in winning the victory,
I believe that for the best interests of America's partici-
pation in future Olympiads that it would be well to send a
practical experienced man to the scene of the Games to super-
vise the preparation of training fields for the preparation of
the American team and to arrange other details which might
be of importance to the welfare of the team in foreign shores
but which are so hard to get at the last minute when the
teams are on the ground.

REPORT OF TRACK AND FIELD TRAINER


JACOB WEBER
As to the management of the American team by the
American Olympic Committee, it is my opinion that every-
thing was handled in a very satisfactory and efficient manner,
I have, however, one small objection to offer. The mis-
take made was to house the athletes on board the ship. This
prevented the intermingling of the athletes. Living on the
ship meant cramped and conjested quarters.
What should have been done was to have taken the team
to a convenient location in France where the climate would
have been much more favorable. Had this been done, the
NINTH OLYMPIAD 105

team would have been all to itself with no curious crowds and
athletes from other nations to distract their attention from
training. The athletes could then have been taken to the
Stadium the day previous to their respective events.
This, of course, is merely my opinion and not a criticism
as to the methods used by our capable committee. It may be
of use in the future and with this solely in view, I offer the
above.

REPORT OF TRACK AND FIELD TRAINER


WILLIAM L. HAYWARD

I have no criticism to make and I believe that the Olym-


pic Committee did what they thought was right when they
appointed the different officers and coaches. However, I
would like to make a few suggestions for future Olympics.
These suggestions are gained from my experience in the last
four Olympics.
It is a foregone conclusion throughout America that the
boys had too much competition on this side before going to
the Games at Amsterdam. I don't think there is any other
way to select a team other than the present plan. We have
so many more athletes in America than they have in other
countries that it necessitates elimination by a series of try-
outs to bring the boys up to the final try-out held in Boston,
The time between the try-out in Boston and the Olym-
pic Games is hardly sufficient to allow the athletes to go off
training and bring them back in shape again. However, I do
believe a plan could be arranged whereby we could do away
with some of the competition during the Olympic year. For
instance, all the Colleges and Universities might agree to
drop one meet off their schedule and do away with the I. C.
A. A. K. A. Championship in the east, and the National Col-
legiate Championship in the middle west, also the Coast Con-
ference on the Pacific Coast. This plan, I believe would put
the boys in better shape physically at the final try-outs. It
would at least take away quite a bit of the competition.
106 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

When the Games are held in Europe there should be a


longer time between the try-outs and the starting of the
games, and the athletes should be sent over in a faster boat.
I would suggest that five men be picked for each event
instead of four. The fifth man would be used as a threat to
the third and fourth place man. In nearly all events the third
and fourth place men on the team realized that they had no
chance to win and naturally were inclined to let down on the
training, feeling that they had accomplished their aim, which
was to make the Olympic team, but a fifth man would keep
these boys working harder.
On landing, I believe a training camp situated about 20
or 30 miles away from the Stadium where a good track would
be available would have a tendency to keep the athletes'
minds on the Games instead of diverting their attention by
taking them into a strange European city. Then too, there
would not be so much parading around town. This I believe,
would keep the boys in better shape. The athletes could be
sent in to their events as they came up, and when through
competing, have a suitable hotel for them to live at away from
the training camp, so as to guard against any interference
with the men who are still in training.
For the next Olympic in Los Angeles, I would suggest
that the final try-out be held in that city and those who have
made the team remain in Southern California at some place
selected by the Committee and establish a training camp.
My reason for suggesting this is that at that time of year it
is very warm in the South and if the boys were allowed to re-
main there they would become acclimated by the time of the
Games.
In regard to the handling and management of the men I
would suggest that a man who has had athletic experience and
knows the wants of the different athletes be appointed as
manager of the team; and also that his assistants have the
same qualifications. It is very annoying to an athlete in his
tempermental condition to find that the things which he will
need are not ready when he goes to the field or track to do
his work. A manager who could fill the above requirements
and foresee all these little things thus making it easier for the
athlete to do his work, would be an ideal manager.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 107

I have tried to give you what I think would be an im-


provement on the old plan, which I think has worked a hard-
ship on the runners, although not so much on the field men.

REPORT OF MANAGER OF WOMEN'S TRACK AND


FIELD TEAM
FRED L. STEERS
The women's track and field team of the United States
made a creditable showing in the Olympic Games. In com-
petition with twenty-four nations the United States succeeded
in winning the 100 meters flat and taking second in the discus
throw, third in the high jump, after tying for second place and
second in the relay (4x100 meters). We won more than our
proportionate share of the honors from nations, most of
whom have had many more years of competition for women
than the United States.
In the 800 meters flat we did not expect our girls to make
any showing whatever. However, in a race breaking the pre-
vious world's record, Florence MacDonald of our team took
sixth place, herself breaking the previous record in her per-
formance. The sport governing bodies of America have not
encouraged competitions in the half mile or similar distances.
Our position has been adopted by the International Amateur
Athletic Federation and the event has been dropped from the
program of the next Olympic games.
I have made a canvass of the members of the team in my
charge and they report they are satisfied with the accommo-
dations afforded them, the food and the manner in which the
trip was conducted. They stated they have been comfortable
NINTH OLYMPIAD 155

at all times and that the training facilities aboard ship were
ample. The training facilities afforded us in Amsterdam up-
on our arrival were not very good, but we had these remedied
after a few days. The members of our team were in good
condition during the games, excepting two girls whose condi-
tion was brought about by unavoidable accidents.
For a time the meals were unsatisfactory, not because of
the food, but because of the uniformity of the menus. This
was brought to the attention of the steward and the condition
remedied.
My observation is that the entire personnel of the teams
on board was well taken care of, collectively and individually,
and was in good mental and physical condition during the trip
across and in the games.
The high morale and good physical condition of the
women's track and field team were due to the untiring efforts
of Mr. Melvin W. Sheppard, coach and Mrs. Aileen Allen,
chaperone. We were fortunate in having their assistance and
I wish to take this occasion to thank them for their services.
For future Olympic games I recommend :
1. Announcement should be made prior to the
tryouts that athletes taking such number of leading
places in the tryouts as may be decided upon will be
selected as members of the team, regardless of times,
or performances, or accidents. This will do away with
accusations of favoritism and misjudgment and materi-
ally help the morale of the team and the collection of
funds,
2. Our representative in the country in which the
games are held should see that proper training facilities
are provided for the teams upon arrival and that the
sanitary conveniences provided are similar to and of the
same standard as of our country.
3. The menus should be supervised as to variety
by someone versed in dieting. A cook or steward is
prone to interpret directions as to training diet too
strictly,
On behalf of the women's track and field team, I wish to
thank the American Olympic Committee and its officials for
the interest in and the co-operation afforded our group.
156 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

REPORT OF COACH, WOMEN'S TRACK AND FIELD TEAM


MELVIN W. SHEPPARD
I have the honor to report briefly in reference to the
selection and management of future teams.
From my past experience on other teams and observa-
tions of this one, I personally think if the units could travel
separately it would be of great advantage to the different
teams. This would give the managers and coaches closer
contact with the actual competitors. It would enable their
diet, training and general supervision to be more adequately
taken care of. In traveling in such a manner they could sail
on faster steamers, and more readily retain the keen edge to
which they had risen for the tryouts.
A particular advantage that traveling in separate units
would create is an atmosphere wholly characteristic of the
particular unit. This in turn would make for better team
spirit, and promote a much needed higher morale,
I believe the unit managers should receive their orders
from the head coach of his unit, inasmuch as the coach is the
one held responsible for the success or failure of his team.
It is evident that our present method of selecting track
and field teams, although democratic, is no longer the best
possible. The athletes are required to be in their very best
form to survive the tryouts, and naturally are on the decline
after a strenuous campaign of duel meets, club and college
championships. It would be ideal if the team could be picked
from the several college and A. A. U. championships.

NINTH OLYMPIAD 157

Like the long banner that slowly unfurled in the breeze


over a stadium rilled with enthusiastic fans, showing a bit of
color—a circle—a stripe—an emblem of beauty— symbolic of
strength and unity, just so, our team emerged to stand before
the royal box. Here, with eyes wet, throats contracted, and a
set purpose in every heart, we reached the climax of long
weeks of practice and training, long journeys to tryouts, and
the trip across the ocean, with its submerging effect on clubs
and individuals.
There is only one other moment in the life of an athlete
to rival this assembly of the world's athletic teams for the
opening of the games and that is when, after a victory, the
national flag goes up and the nation's anthem is sung. The
American flag went up for 24 first places, 21 seconds, and 17
thirds, making a total of 131 points. America made 17 new
Olympic records, seven of which are world's records—the
greatest number of Olympic and world's records ever
achieved at one time in any set of games.
There has been much criticism concerning the manage-
ment, but we must remember that every four years we have
the same fault finding, and Los Angeles will undoubtedly
come in for its share in 1932. The coaches who are making
alibies now must remember that Amsterdam always has had
a lot of rain, and did not have a rainy season just for our
benefit, and we should remember that although we had a long
journey, other countries had the same, and many of them will
have to be weeks and months on the way in 1932. Of course
there were mistakes. It was wrong to send the athletes over
on a slow boat, but the biggest mistake was in allowing a
number of coaches who had no connection with the games to
go over on the same boat with the athletes. Still how can we
expect a big undertaking of this kind to go over without criti-
cism, when no two teams can come together for friendly con-
test without a scrap?
The Olympic Committee did their best, and while the
boat trip was a hardship for the sprinters, the outfield men
profited by the inactivity. Although our trainers must have
realized that the limited space on a boat cannot be stretched
to provide a field, a track, a swimming stadium, a boxing
arena, wrestling facilities, shooting gallery, etc. nevertheless

they were all enthusiastic—until after we lost some of our pet


events. They had a right to kick, but the kick came rather
late.
The organization of the Dutch Olympic Committee was
excellent, and the co-operation extended admirable.
Living on the President Roosevelt had its disadvantages
as well as advantages. The meals were excellent and by stay-
ing on board we did not have to undergo a change of food or
cooking, but it rendered practice hard because we had that
much farther to go to get to the stadiums. Some of the
coaches have pointed out we had no tracks, fields, or swim-
ming stadiums to which we could go for practice anyway.
Peronally I think the trip would have been less monotonous
had we been stationed in Amsterdam at some good hotel.
The officers on board, co-operating with the entertain-
ment committee, made the time pass quickly with contests,
bridge, deck sports, dances and entertainments. There was
very good talent among the athletes, and the programs were
well arranged.
For the first time the girls were allowed to participate in
the Olympic Games and while the points scored by the U. S.
were few, they made a wonderful showing, when we remem-
ber the few years we have followed this branch of sport com-
pared to the other countries.
It was a trip worthy of the time and effort; one that each
participant will remember in all the years to come; full of
good sportsmanship; and a conclave that fulfilled its purpose
by uniting the nations into a closer bond of friendship.

anyone not making this reservation will be considered as competing.

placed at their disposal after consultation.
Frames containing more than one drawing or engraving, may not be more than 1.20 M. in
length. Each frame will count as one exhibit.

photographs to the form of entry relating to their work as mentioned in Art. 6. From these

make a selection.

REPORT OF MANAGER OF BOXING TEAM


JACOB W. STUMPF
In submitting to you my report I am sincerely grieved
that I am not able to state that we have had first place win-
ners. This, however, is not the fault of the coaching or train-
ing of the boys. In my humble opinion it is the fault of the
World against America and also to what I firmly believe the
worst judging and refereeing in my experience with boxing.
From the time we left New York our boys have had two
sessions daily under Coach Spike Webb. The team re-
sponded cheerfully to every order of Coach and Trainer and
at the time of competition were in very good physical condi-
tion. We were, however, handicapped slightly by the fact
that the boys were unable to do road work in and about Am-
sterdam; this was somewhat overcome by calesthenics on
board ship.
In actual competition our boys were seriously handi-
capped by the fact that the referee works outside the ring,
whereas in the United States our referee works inside. This
gave a decided advantage to the boxers of Continental Europe
who have always had the Referee issue his orders and com-
mands from the outside. This, however, will not prevail at
the next Olympiad as the Boxing Federation has passed a
rule whereby the Referee works inside the ring.
On the evening of the first day of competition our Fly-
weight Hyman Miller performed in great style. The judges'
however, decided against him, much to the surprise of the
audience.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 171

Our Bantamweight, John L. Daley, took second place in


his class. He performed in marvellous style throughout his
bouts and in my opinion should have been adjudged the win-
ner of his class. He surely showed American grit and game-
ness in his final bout when he performed with injured arms.
Our Featherweight, Harry Devine, took third place in
his class. Another one of those weird decisions kept him
from the final bout. In his last bout he performed with a
broken knuckle.
Our Lightweight, Stephen Halaiko, took second place in
his class. The decision against him in the final bout was one
of the worst ever given in an amateur tournament. If ever a
man won he certainly won his bout and the decision against
him was one of the surprises of the competition.
Our Welterweight, Thomas Lown, was, before the com-
petition, one of our best bets. For some unexplainable rea-
son he did not perform at his usual gait.
Our Middleweight, Harry Henderson was in a similar
state as our Welterweight and could not get going.
Our Light Heavyweight, Leon Lucas, was defeated in
his first bout and was a disappointment as we believed we
had a winner in him.
Our Heavyweight, Al Kaletchetz, lost in his first bout by
a knockout, one of the few of the tournament.
In concluding this report I desire to extend to Coach
Webb and Trainer Al. Lacy, Assistant Manager, B, Levine,
my sincere thanks for their whole hearted assistance, thereby
lightening my labors, also, to Mr. Charles L. Diehm, of New
York, one of our boxing Officials who during the training
period of our athletes greatly encouraged them and making
their work pleasant, assisting wherever possible.
My suggestions for future Olympic competitions are as
follows:
In the Olympic years I suggest that the Olympic
Tryouts be held later than they were this year. The
competitions should be held about 2 or 3 weeks prior
to sailing of Olympic Competitors.
In Olympic Sectional Tryouts the United States
should be divided in 6 divisions according to easy rail-
road facilities. Each winner, along with the winner of
172 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

the Inter-Collegiate Boxing Association and the winner


of the Amateur Athletic Union Championships should
be permitted to compete for the honor of representing
America in Olympic Competitions.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT MANAGER OF BOXING TEAM


BEN LEVINE
I wish to report the improvement in Olympic boxing. It
was surprising to see the number of entries from countries
for the first time competing in Olympic boxing. The com-
petition was very keen. Only, three bouts in the entire tour-
nament did not go the full three rounds. Our team trained
faithfully and was in very good shape altho we were disap-
pointed in the final results, John Daley and Stephen Halaiko
finishing second and Harold Devine receiving third prize.
All of our boxers competed under a disadvantage, the
referee sitting outside the ring. With a little better judging,
I feel sure we would have had two or three winners.
I cannot close my report without mentioning the very
poor decision rendered against Hyman Miller of Los Angeles
in the flyweight class against Marcel Sartos of Belgium.
I am pleased to report that at a meeting of the Inter-
national Boxing Federation, the United States representa-
tives consisting of J. W. Stumpf, Charles L. Diehm and my-
self, were successful in having a rule passed so that the refe-
ree will be stationed in the ring at future Olympic competi-
tion. Another good rule passed, in my opinion, was that
competitors will hereafter weigh in stripped and not with
their uniforms.

REPORT OF COACH OF BOXING TEAM


H. M. "SPIKE" WEBB
Sixteen boxers assembled in New York City on July 6th
to begin training for the Olympic Games. Five days later
we boarded the "President Roosevelt" and were off for Am-
sterdam. Training on ship board began on July 12th and
continued until August 7th, the day of the beginning of
Olympic boxing competition. We trained twice daily-except
NINTH OLYMPIAD 173

Sundays—aboard ship. In the morning there was running—


jogging around the deck—medicine ball, and setting-up exer-
cises. In the afternoon there was bag punching, dummy
punching, shadow boxing, and actual boxing between the
regulars and the substitutes. Cool weather and regularity of
training tended to make our boxers gain weight, necessitating
hard work to bring them down to proper weight for competi-
tion. We were very fortunate in coming through our hard
training siege with only one injury, that to Herbst, substi-
tute middleweight. All our competitors entered the ring in
excellent physical condition. We weighed in on the morning
of August 7th, and everyone made weight without trouble.
Our boxers had been taught to fight cleanly, to break
quickly in the clinches, and to step out of clinches without
hitting on the break. They had been taught not to hold or
butt, not to hit with the open glove, and not to use the rabbit
punch. This style of boxing was taught our men because
previous experience in Olympic boxing, at Antwerp and Paris
had shown it to be necessary for success. In the Amsterdam
Olympic contests we were shocked to find that the strict and
proper boxing rules in force at Antwerp and Paris were for-
gotten, and every imaginable foul tactic allowed instead. As
a result, our boxers, who had been trained to fight cleanly,
were at a distinct disadvantage, for the foreigners fouled
continually, even to the extent of butting, and were not dis-
qualified, as had been the practice in Antwerp and Paris.
The judges, referees and other officials seemed to be in a
state of confusion. They could not agree on a uniform in-
terpretation of the rules. The American, Canadian, British,
South African and Argentine officials scored bouts according
to proper Olympic rules, which forbid illegal hitting in clin-
ches and in breakaways, the use of the rabbit punchy etc. The
European officials, on the other hand, as if by common agree-
ment, permitted all these foul methods of boxing, not malici-
ously, but apparently because of incompetency. They appa-
rently did not have the boxing knowledge necessary for good
officiating. Despite these adverse conditions in judging, our
boxers were quick to learn to protect themselves in the in-
fighting, and against foul punching. Of the 31 nations com-
petiting, we finished third to Italy, the team winner, and Ar-
174 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

gentine, the runner-up. This, we feel, was a splendid show-


ing, since Olympic boxing competition this year was keener
than ever before.
The morale of our team was excellent. Good comrade-
ship prevailed. The boxers followed thoroughly every in-
struction. Manager Jacob W. Stumpf, Assistant Manager
Ben Levine, and Trainer Al Lacey did everything possible
for the welfare of the team, working untiringly and with en-
thusiasm and whole-heartedness. The substitutes, too,
worked unselfishly to help get the regulars in good condition.
They are to be commended for their valuable assistance.
Stephen Halaiko, our lightweight, was the first Ameri-
can to fight. He defeated Potsch, of Czechoslovakia, in the
first bout of the tournament, winning in the third round when
his opponent was disqualified by the referee for continuous
fouling. Halaiko had won the first two rounds very easily.
The same evening the first of the five unfair decisions
given against our boxers was rendered. Hyman Miller, our
flyweight, easily outboxed and outpointed Sartos, of Bel-
gium, for three rounds, but to the great surprise of everyone
present the decision was given the Belgian. Ired by the un-
fair decision, the Americans, and almost everyone else in the
arena, jeered, hissed and even cursed the officials, so that the
police had to be called to quiet them. Miller was carried
from the ring on the shoulders of his fellow Americans.
On the evening of August 10th, in the quarter-final round,
our second big surprise came when Harry Henderson, our
middleweight, met and defeated Hermanek, of Czechoslova-
kia, and the officials gave the decision to Hermanek. Hen-
derson had won the first two rounds with ease by clean
punching, while his opponent had held continuously, wrest-
led, hit in the clinches, and made use of almost every possi-
ble foul punch. In the final round Hermanek was warned
four times by the referee for foul hitting, yet he was given
the decision.
The following evening we were the victims of another
atrocious decision, which made Olympic boxing history.
John Daley, our bantamweight, fought Isaacs, of South Afri-
ca. The bout was no contest. Daley pummelled the South
African all around the ring, and several times had him on the
NINTH OLYMPIAD 175

verge of a knockout. But when the decision was announced


it was for the South African. This was too much for the
Americans present, as well as for most of the other spectators
and they started a demonstration never equalled in Olympic
history, with the result that after several minutes it was an-
nounced that the officials had erred in counting the ballots,
and that Daley, instead of the South African, was the winner.
The climax of the horrible decisions against the Ameri-
cans came in the finals, fought on August 11th. First, Daley
met Tamagnini, of Italy, for the bantamweight champion-
ship. The bout was very close, with Daley scoring the clean-
er and more effective punches, but the Italian was given the
decision. Then Halaiko met Orlandi, of Italy, for the light-
weight championship. Halaiko did all the leading, countered
well against the frequent rushes of his opponent, and won all
three rounds by wide margins. Yet the decision was awarded
to the Italian. This was too much for the crowd, which for
over ten minutes hooted and jeered at the officials. News-
paper men at the ringside agreed that the decision was the
most atrocious in their experience.
Regarding the trip as a whole, we feel that it was a great
success. The accommodations and treatment given us by
the American Olympic Committee, ably headed by Major
General Douglas MacArthur, were the finest possible. Every
effort was made to satisfy everyone affiliated with the team.
We are proud to say that our sportsmanlike boxing brought
very favorable comment from the representatives of the 31
nations gathered in Amsterdam for the Olympic boxing.
This means more to us than titles and championships. We
hope that in order to preserve Olympic boxing the sad con-
ditions prevalent at Amsterdam will be forever removed
from Olympic competition. Instead of the spirit of inter-
national good will, which is the principal idea behind the
Olympic Games, we found at Amsterdam ill-feeling among
the nations competing in the boxing contests. Let us hope
that at Los Angeles in 1932 all petty prejudices will be for-
gotten, and that the Olympic Games will help to bring the
competing nations to a better and more friendly understand-
ing of one another.
176 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

REPORT OF TRAINER OF BOXING TEAM


AL LACY
The boxers, 16 in number, chosen as the best in the
nation, gathered in New York and sailed aboard the S. S.
Roosevelt on July 11 for Amsterdam, Holland.
Conditions aboard the ship were ideal as to quarters, food
and training facilities. The ship was equipped with first class
paraphernalia for the boxers, including a ring, gloves, bags,
ropes and everything that was necessary for the boys to get
into the best of condition for the Games.
The boxers' were very conscientious workers, followed
through their daily routine and obeyed orders and took sug-
gestions from Manager Stumpf, Assistant Manager Ben
Levine, Coach Webb and myself. Good feeling prevailed
throughout the entire trip among the boxers.
We met very stiff competition this year and found that
the contenders from other countries had made rapid strides
forward in the game and in the future must be taken more
seriously.
The officiating at the bouts was very poor. We received
three exceptionally bad decisions, namely: Hymie Miller, fly-
weight, who lost the decision which he rightfully deserved to
a Belgian; Johnny Daley, a bantamweight, and Steve Halaiko,
lightweight, who lost to Italian opponents.
Not only did we suffer in the matter of bad decisions, but
practically every other country in the competition suffered in
the same way.
I would like to make a suggestion at this time that the
boxers or any athletes who have to make weight be put on a
training table diet. The diet of the last trip was anything but
proper for the boxers and consequently four of our boys had
to go down in the steam room of the ship the day before to
make the required weight for the tournament.

REPORT OF MANAGER OF THE CYCLING TEAM
E. E. FRAYSSE
The following is the report of the trip of the American
Cycling Team to the IXth Olympiad in Amsterdam, Holland
in 1928.
On July 11th, four American cyclists in charge of the
writer, sailed from New York on the S. S. "President Roose-
velt" of the American line. The cyclists who were entered in
the 165 Kilometer road race were: Henry O'Brien of San Jose,
California; Chester Nelsen, St. Louis, Mo.; Peter Smessaert,
Chicago, Illinois and Charles Westerholm of New York.
We landed at Amsterdam July 20th after having spent
about ten days crossing the ocean. The weather on the trip
was ideal which gave the boys a chance to do some light
training. It was almost impossible for them to ride around
the track, which had been built on the deck of the ship, on
account of so many using same. However, they would get up
at 5 A. M. and ride until 7 A. M. This kept their legs some-
what in shape as to pedal motion but far from giving them
speed.
Immediately upon arriving, the course of the race was
ascertained and the riders were taken over the full course in
order to familiarize themselves with same and from then on
they seriously and conscientiously trained, riding from 25 to
50 miles per day and on two occasions rode the full course.
The riders as a team finished in 15th place. This might
appear as a poor showing but if we will consider that our
team had been trained on the finest roads of the world and
then had to compete on a course that had many miles of
cobblestones and gravel roads that were filled with ruts and
sharp stones that caused much tire trouble; also on foreign
land with different climate to contend with, their showing
does not appear so bad to those who understand the obstacles
the riders had to meet.
With the experience gained by Mr. McIntyre, Manager
of the 1924 Olympic Team, together with that gained by the
writer in the 1928 Games, the Amateur Bicycle League of
184 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

America, the controlling body of the amateur road riders, hope


to develop a winning team for the 1932 Olympics.

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS
The Equestrian Championship is composed of three distinct contests, which will be run on
three consecutive days. First day: Training competition
Second day: Endurance test
Third day: Jumping competition
During the contests, it is forbidden for members of the team to accept help, to jump ob
stacles in pairs, to be led by another member of the team, or to ride over the track on horseback
before the contests. A premeditated fraud, duly reported, leads to disqualification.
Before the training and the jumping contests, the horses are examined by an international
commission composed of three members: a superior officer or a qualified civilian of the organiz-
ing country shall act as President, and the two members drawn by lot, from among the officials.
To this commission shall be added as a consultant a military veterinary surgeon, who must
belong to the organizing country.
This commission shall, on its own responsibility, and without appeal, prevent from taking
part in the last contest only:
1. Horses who have been indisputably over-ridden.
2. Horses who are, for any reason whatsoever, seriously lame.
All the others can continue to take part in the Competitions at the wish of their rider, and
will be classified. FIRST EVENT: TRAINING
This test is intended to show the suppleness of the horse and its docility in response to the
rider's aids (good free action and light in the hand).
Each rider must do the whole of the work imposed, and the movements must follow one
another in succession.
Every omission of a set exercise is penalized in accordance with the list drawn up, and the
Judges may require such omissions to be done at the end of the work, but no marks will be
given.
Each contestant will have eleven minutes in which to do his work, the time being counted
from after the salute to the Judges.
Any concurrent, who has not finished his performance in the fixed time, will be penalized
by two points for each second exceeding the time allowed for finishing his work.
Marks will be scored in accordance with the table hereafter.
The track will be 60 meters long and 20 meters wide, the middle line and the center being
distinctly marked.
If weather conditions make it necessary, the Training Contest will be held in a riding school.
Under no pretext will any competitor be allowed to practise on the track before the compe-
tition.
The marks to be given for each movement are according to the table in such a made out
way as to give a total of 300 points (20 x 15).

The Judge,
(1) Note: Any movement omitted must be unmarked.
Any concurrent, who has not finished his performance in the fixed time, will be penalized by
two points for each second exceeding the time allowed for finishing his work.
SECOND CONTEST: ENDURANCE TEST
This test tends to show the endurance of a really good, well trained charger or hunter, when
in the best condition.
At the same time it brings out the rider's knowledge of his mount and of how to use it to
the best advantage.
The test consists of riding 36 km., partly on roads and pathways, partly cross country and
partly over a steeple-chase course.
The distance is made up as follows:
A. On roads and pathways about 7 km. (4 1/3 miles); to be done at a speed of 240 m, to the
minute, that is 29 minutes 10 seconds.
B. Steeple chase about 4 km.; to be done at a speed of 600 m. to the minute, that is 6
minutes 40 seconds.
C. Roads about 15 km.; to be done at a speed of 240 m, to the minute, that is in 1 hour
2 minutes 30 seconds.
D. Cross country with jumps about 8 km,; to be done at a speed of 450 m. to the minute,
that is 17 minutes 46 seconds.
E. On the flat 2 km, at a canter; to be done at a speed of 333m. to the minute, that is
6 minutes.
Penalties
Coefficients are applied to all penalty calculations.
There will be a penalty of half a point for each five seconds lost during any of the sections
of the test (roads, steeplechase, cross country), which will then be multiplied by the coefficient.
The distances ridden on roads A., C. and E., must be done at the speed indicated for each of
them. Penalties for one of these sections cannot be compensated by bonuses in others.
Each competitor receives 20 points for the three distances A., C. and E. Penalties incurred
in any of the three sections are subtracted from this figure, and the remainder is then multiplied
by the coefficient 10. The amount obtained gives the number of points.
Example
A. 15 seconds behind t i m e . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.50 penalty
B. 25 seconds behind t i m e . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 penalty
E. 10 seconds before t i m e . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . — no bonus
T o t a l . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.00 points penalty
20—4/16 x 10, that is 160 points for the three distances on roads.
In the steeple chase and in the cross country the mistakes in jumping must be added to the
time-penalties and will be calculated according to the rules, the result being multiplied by
the coefficients as given.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 191

Bonuses
There are no bonuses for time gained on the road courses.
In the steeplechase and cross country courses bonuses are given in accordance with the
attached tables, in the reckoning of which the coefficients 25 and 35 are used.
In the Steeplechase Course a bonus of two points (coefficient of 25 included) will be granted
for a speed of 624 m. per minute, which means that the 4.000 m. are ridden in 6 minutes 25
seconds, and further for 5 seconds gained in accordance with the first table on the list (see table).
In the Cross Country Course a bonus of two points (coefficient of 35 included) will be granted
for a speed of 477 m. per minute, which means that the 8.000 m. are covered in 16 minutes 46
seconds, and further for 10 seconds gained, in accordance with the 2nd table on the list given.
The maximum bonus possible in the Steeplechase course is 20 points (706 meters per minute);
the Cross country course is 44 points (602 meters per minute).
Speeds above this do not count
192 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

Speeds above this do not count Speeds above this do not count
Jumping Mistakes
In the Cross country and Steeplechase sections the fall of a riier is penalized by 10 points.
The fall of the horse and rider is penalized by 6 points.
A first halt, refusal or breaking out at a jump is penalized by 2 points.
A second halt, refusal or breaking out at the same jump: 6 points.
A third halt, refusal or breaking out at the same jump leads to disqualification.
For mistakes in the course, which the competitor notices and rectifies immediately, the
penalty is the loss of time involved.
For all mistakes which are not rectified by the competitor, or which lead to the omission
of a jump, the penalty is disqualification.
If, on account of the condition of the ground, it is necessary to reverse the order of the
different training tests, the speeds and distances shown above remain the same.
Each competitor will receive the day preceding the test, a map showing the route to be fol-
owed, which will be marked by men on horseback or flags.
The competitors in the cross country test will be taken over the course beforehand. This
route will include 30 to 35 jumps.
Obstacles, which will be natural, such as hedges, ditches, farm gates, brooks, streams, on and
off a road, etc., must be jumped between two flags, and will have a maximum height of about
1 m. 15 and a maximum width of 4 meters.
THIRD EVENT: JUMPING
This third part is not a contest of the kind usually demanded at international meetings, but
is intended merely to demonstrate that, on the day after a severe effort, the horses entered,
retain that degree of suppleness and energy which enables the good charger or hunter to con-
tinue in service.
The 12 obstacles will be a fair distance apart, without "taquets," framed in, massive, impos-
ing by their shape and appearance, and resembling as much as possible those met with in the
country without being absolutely solid. The route will be strewn with guiding difficulties
such as halts; half turns.
They will include:
One double obstacle, such as a road.
Four obstacles being exactly 1 meter 15 in height (46 inches).
If possible 1 ditch 3 meters in width (9 feet 10 inches) with straight edges.
Six obstacles (open ditch, brook, cross bar on a bank, wall, oxer, "double" bank, etc., to be
decided bv the Organizing Committee).
The height of straight obstacles will vary between 1m. 10 and 1 m. 15. They will be chosen
from among those mentioned above (the width of the open ditches will not exceed 2 m., that
of the streams 3 m. 50 of water).
The speed required in this canter will be 375 meters a minute. A faster speed will not be taken
into account, while the rider shall be penalized half a point for each two seconds lost.
All faults are penalized in accordance with the rules laid down by the International Federa-
tion.
Fall of the rider alone 10 points
The 3rd refusal, halt or breaking out, either in front of the same obstacle or
during the course of the competition disqualification
NINTH OLYMPIAD 193

The 3rd refusal on the track, but away from the obstacles id.
The fall of the horse and the rider 6 points
The 2nd refusal, halt or breaking out, either in front of the same obstacle or
during the course of the competition 6 points
The 2nd refusal on the track, but away from the obstacles 6 points
Knocking over a jump with the front leg 4 points
Front legs in the water 4 points
The 1st refusal, halt or breaking out in front of the obstacle 2 points
The 1st refusal on the track, but away from the obstacles 2 points
Knocking over a jump with hind legs 2 points
Hind legs in the water 2 points
Mistakes in the course 2 points
If, in jumping, the rider or horse knocks over the standards, the wings or the flag setting of
the obstacle, it will be counted as a break out, and the jump done again as soon as the obstacle
has been put in place again. The same applies if a horse knocks down an obstacle with its
chest, when halting and refusing to jump or slipping.
In double or triple obstacles, the Judge must note down all the results, whatever they may be
If a horse stops or breaks out between the obstacles, double or triple, he must try the jump
again from between the two obstacles.
In mixed obstacles, such as double bars, streams or ditches preceded or followed by another
jump, only the most important fault is counted.
If the horse gets off the track, he is disqualified.
All doubtful points will be decided in accordance with the rules of the French National
Federation, adopted by the International Federation.
COEFFICIENTS AND THE ALLOTMENT OF MARKS
The marks in each different event in the Equestrian Championship will be based on a scale
of 0 to 20, and multiplied by the following coefficients:
Coefficient
1st Test: Training 15= 300 points
2nd Test: Cross country ....... 35 = 700 points
Steeplechase 25 = 500 points
On roads 10 = 200 points
3rd Test: Jumping. 15 = 300 points
100 = 2000 points
1. The training is marked movement by movement in accordance with the established
table, which gives a total of 300 points (20 x 15).
To facilitate the work of each Judge, the following procedure is carried out:
All movements are marked by each Judge from 0 to 10. The figure thus obtained is mul-
tiplied by the number which appears on the established table, which is then divided by 10.
This result is inserted in the column headed "points obtained;" this is the only figure which
counts in the adding up of the marks, and in the classification.
Example:
Movement 10 of the training test (changing of hand from D to E)—-the maximum allowed is
14.
The Judge puts 8.
This figure is multiplied by 14 = 112, then this result is divided by 10, the result being 11.2.
The rider has 11.2 for this movement.
2. In the second competition (endurance test) each rider starts in each part of the com-
petition with a maximum of 20 points. From this total of 20 all the penalties are taken; the
result obtained is multiplied by the coefficient of the test, to which are added the bonuses ac-
cording to the tables laid down. Thus the number of points gained is obtained on the road,
in the steeplechase and in the cross country.
In a case where a negative total is arrived at in any one competition, the total of these
minus points is deducted from the general total.
Example:
On the Road.-—Total number of points obtained 160 points
In the Steeplechase.—-1 fall of the rider. 10 points
1 break out 2 points
12 seconds behind time (1) 1 point
Total 13 points
in penalties, which gives:
21—13 = 7 x 2 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 175 points
In the Cross Country.—2 refusals at two different obstacles... 4 points-penalties
80 seconds g a i n e d . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 points-bonus
which gives:
20—4 = 16x35 =560 + 6 . . . . . . .566 points
The rider has obtained in the endurance test 901 points
3. The same applies to the jumping. Each rider starts with the maximum of 20, from
which is taken faults at the jumps and between the jumps and penalties for loss of time, the
coefficient in this case being 15.

II. INDIVIDUAL TRAINING COMPETITION
Contest by Teams 3 Competitors per nation: 1 rider and
Contest by Individuals 1 horse can be entered as a reserve.
For the final classification the points obtained by the three competitors of each nation will
be counted.
Contests by Teams—Prizes
First Prize: Diploma to winning team; silver gilt Olympic medal and diploma to each
member of team.
Second Prize: Diploma to second team; silver Olympic medal and diploma to each member
of team.
Third Prize: Diploma to third team; bronze Olympic medal and diploma to each member of
team,
Contests by Individuals—Prizes
First Prize: Silver gilt Olympic medal and diploma.
Second Prize: Silver Olympic medal and diploma.
Third Prize: Bronze Olympic medal and diploma.
The prizes are awarded to the riders and not to the owners of the horses.
Each competitor must do alone the whole of the exercises, and in the order prescribed. Any
movements omitted will be penalized in accordance with the table, and the Judges may demand
that all such movements are done afterwards but no marks will be given. Each competitor
will have thirteen minutes, in which to carry out the stated work, the thirteen minutes starting
immediately after the salute to the Judges.
Any concurrent, who has not finished his performance in the fixed time, will be penalized
by two points for each second exceeding the time allowed for finishing his work.
The track should be 60 meters long and 20 meters wide, the middle line and the center being
distinctly marked. The extremities of the inside track, which has to be traced at 2 metres from
the wall, must be distinctly marked.
If circumstances require, the training competition will be held in a riding school.
Under no pretext will a competitor be allowed to practise on the track before the compe-
tition.
If two competitors are equal, the Judges shall decide on the winner by having two or three
of the same movements done again. (1)
It was decided at the Lausanne Congress, that in this competition as well as in the Training
Championship, the President shall collect after each exercise, the marks from the Judges, and
in the case of too great a difference he will immediately ask for the reason of the divergence of
opinions.
(1) If two or more teams gain the same number of points, the team, the members of which
show the greatest similarity in their individual results, is classed first.
GENERAL RULES FOR MARKING THE TRAINING
Note for Judges which Will Assist Them in Marking the Training Uniformly
The aim of the training is to make the horse tractable, that is to say both alert and well
under control.
This double quality is shown by:
The freedom of gait.
The harmony, lightness and ease of movements.
The strictly upright position, maintained during the whole of the work.
The horse thus gives the impression that it is controlling itself.
Calm and alert, it answers its rider wholeheartedly.
Its step is even, free and long.
Its trot is natural, free and rhythmical.
Its canter is smooth, light and well timed.
Its haunches never appear inert or lazy.
At the first touch of the rider they become alive, and this reacts through all parts of the body.
Thanks to its constant forward impulse and to the flexibility and elasticity of its articulation,
which no resistance paralyses, the horse obeys willingly and without hesitation, calmly and
exactly the various aids of its rider.
He halts, and stands motionless, ready to go forward at the lightest touch.
When moving, he lightly strains at the reins, poise well balanced, more or less extended ac-
cording to the quickness of the pace.
Moving on two tracks, he does not slow down.
At a canter, he changes legs "en l'air", in a single step, and moving forward.
During the whole of the work he remains straight from head to haunches.
When inclining, he may make a slight bend, allowing him to see where he is going.
All movements must be done without apparent action of the rider.
The rider must be seated straight, back and hips loose, thighs and legs firm, the top of the
body at ease, free, and straight.

REPORT OF CAPTAIN, FENCING TEAM


COL. HENRY BRECKINRIDGE
1. The Fencing competitions lasted from Sunday, July
29th to Saturday, August 11th, inclusive. They were divided
into series as follows:
Foil — Team
Foil — Individual
Foil — Individual—Women
Epee — Team
Epee — Individual
Sabre — Team
Sabre — Individual
The American results in these seven events will be re-
ported seriatum.
2. The Foil Team drew Egypt and Switzerland in the
elimination pool, and defeated both. The U. S. defeated Egypt
11-5. Calnan won 4 bouts receiving only 3 touches. Peroy
won 1 bout. Levis won 3 bouts. Rayner won 3 bouts.
U. S, defeated Switzerland 14-2. Breckinridge and Cal-
nan won four bouts each. Peroy and Levis won 3 each.
These two victories advanced U. S. to first semi-final pool
where Argentine and Holland were met. A hard match with
Argentine (which later won 3rd place) resulted in a score of
8-8. Argentine won the decision on points having received 55
touches and the United States 62. Levis made the outstand-
ing performance in this match, winning all four bouts. Cal-
nan won 2 bouts, Breckinridge and Peroy each won one.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 201

The loss of this match on points proved critical. It threw the


U. S. in the next semi-final pool with France and Italy and
blocked the way to the final,
U. S. beat Holland 12-4. Calnan and Levis each won 4
bouts. Peroy and Rayner each won 2 bouts.
In the last semi-final pool U. S. met France and Italy.
France defeated U. S. 11-5. Levis won 2 bouts. Calnan,
Peroy and Every won one bout. The judging in this match
was unsatisfactory. It is my belief that Calnan and Peroy
each won a bout he did not receive from the judges.
Italy decisively defeated U. S. 14-2. Calnan and Peroy
lost 4 bouts each. Breckinridge and Levis each won 1 bout.
At this juncture Calnan showed excessive fatigue due to cold
and fever which affected him also during the foil individuals
and from which he did not recover until the start of the epee.
In the foil team matches:
Calnan won 15 bouts and lost 9
Levis won 17 bouts and lost 7
Peroy won 8 bouts and lost 16
Rayner won 5 bouts and lost 3
Breckinridge won 6 bouts and lost 6
Every won 1 bout and lost 3
Foil Individual
3. Calnan, Levis and Everv were entered in the Foil In-
dividual. Levis made the best showing—going through to
the finals. This was the first time an American fencer has
reached an individual final in the Olympic Games. There
were 74 entries. 12 reached the final pool. Levis finished 11.
In the elimination pool Levis finished 3rd with 3 victories
and 2 defeats.
In the semi-final pool Levis came 4th with 3 victories and
3 defeats.
In the finals Levis was 11th with 2 victories and 9 defeats.
Total 8 victories and 14 defeats.
Calnan: In the elimination pool Calnan was third with 3
victories and 2 defeats. He was eliminated in the semi-final
with 1 victory and 6 defeats. This was a very strong pool
from which emerged Gaudin, Gaudini, Bru and Gazzera.
Total 4 victories and 8 defeats.
Every: In the elimination pool Every came second with
202 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

S victories and 2 defeats. In the semi-final pool he was elimi-


nated with 1 victory and 6 defeats. His fencing was very
creditable, in most of his bouts winning 4 touches.
Total 6 victories and 8 defeats.
Foil—Women's Individual
4. U. S. entered 2 women, Mrs, Irma Hopper and Miss
Marion Lloyd. Mrs. Hopper was eliminated—1 victory and 5
defeats. Miss Lloyd made an excellent record and failed to
reach the finals by only 2 touches.
In the elimination pool Miss Lloyd was third with 4 vic-
tories and 2 defeats. She administered to Elena Mayer, the
champion, her only defeat. She defeated Mrs. Freeman who
was second. In the semi-finals Miss Lloyd was eliminated—3
victories, 4 defeats. Miss Lloyd's excellent showing is a
credit not only to herself, but to her master, Mr. Joseph Vince.
Epee Team
5. The Epee Team drew Hungary and Egypt in the
elimination pool.
U. S. defeated Hungary 11-5. Calnan won 4 bouts. Lyon
won 3, Milner 3 and Rayner 1.
U, S. defeated Egypt 9-7. Calnan won 4 bouts, not re-
ceiving a single touch. Miller won 3 bouts. Lyon and Breck-
inridge each won 1 bout.
These victories advanced U. S. to the first semi-final pool
where Portugal and Norway were met.
Portugal (which won 3rd place) defeated the U. S. 8-7
(and one double touch).
Breckinridge won 3 bouts
Calnan won 3 bouts
Milner won 1 bout
Lyon won 0 bouts
U. S. defeated Norway 8-7 (one double touch).
Calnan won 3 bouts. Rayner won 3 bouts. Milner won 2
bouts. Breckinridge won 0 bout.
These victories advanced U, S. to the second and last
semi-final pool where Spain, France and Belgium were met.
U. S. defeated Spain 9-7.
Calnan won 4 bouts receiving only 1 touch. Milner and
Rayner won 2 bouts each. Barnett won 1 bout.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 203

France defeated U. S. 9-4 (and 4 double touches),


Calnan won 2 bouts. Lyon and Milner won 1 bout each.
Rayner won 0 bout.
Belgium defeated U. S. 7-2 (4 double touches). Calnan
and Milner each won 1 bout.
I consider the judging in this match very bad. Belgium,
defeated in the finals by France and Portugal, could not have
defeated the U. S. decisively, if at all, with honest and capable
judges.
The totals follow:
Calnan won 21 bouts and lost 7
Milner won 13 bouts and lost 15
Lyon won 5 bouts and lost 11
Rayner won 6 bouts and lost 13
Breckinridge won 4 bouts and lost 8
Barnett won 1 bout and lost 3
Epee—Individual

and 2 defeats.
In the first semi-final Calnan advanced with 8 victories
and 3 defeats.
In the 2nd semi-final Calnan advanced with 4 victories
and 4 defeats.
In the final Calnan was 3rd with 6 victories and 3 defeats.
In the extra-final four fencers survived and fought for 10
touches by direct elimination.

strong field in the elimination pool. Hungary, Poland, Great
Britain. Hungary was first in the final. Poland came third.
Hungary defeated U. S. 14-2. Muray and Huffman each
won 1 bout. Acel and Cohn won 0 bouts.
Poland defeated U. S. 9-7. Muray won 3 bouts, Huffman

and 4 defeats.
Huffman survived the elimination pool with 2 victories
and 2 defeats.
Cohn likewise with 3 victories and 2 defeats. Both were
eliminated by a narrow margin in the semi-final.
Huffman barely missed going up to the final. He was
tied on bouts with Lacroix of France to be the last man to go
up. Each had three victories. Lacroix, having two touches
less than Huffman, advanced. Cohn in the semi-final fenced
excellently against Gombos and dejong. He defeated deJong
who came second in the 1924 Olympics, 5-0. He defeated
Gombos, former champion of Europe 5-1; but losing to weak-
er fencers he was unable to advance to the final.
Resume
9. In the team competition all 3 teams gave a hard fight
to all and made a strong bid for the third place.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 205

The foil team was helpless before Italy but gave France a
hard fight and was on even terms with the next best.
The epee team did not meet Italy. It was inferior to
France and Italy but on a par with any other.
The sabre team was inferior to Hungary and Italy but
fought on even terms with others.
In team competition, as a general rule, the old fencers are
a burden on the back of the young. Unless an older man has
perfect technique, he is good for about one match a day. The
old men cannot stand the grind of long competition. This
does not apply to perfect technicians like Gaudin or Terstyan-
sky but can be laid down as a general rule.
Calnan and Levis did splendidly in the foil. Every did
well when he had a chance and Rayner fought with his ac-
customed indomitable spirit. Calnan and Milner bore the
brunt of the epee team.
Huffman and Muray excelled for the sabre team whereas
Huffman and Cohn made the best performance in the individ-
ual sabre.
Levis in the individual foil and Calnan's 3rd place in the
epee, with Milner arriving in the final epee were the outstand-
ing performances of the American Fencers, unequalled by any
past American Olympic Fencing Team.
In the team competition the 3rd place won by the 1920
Foil Team still stands to be bettered.
On the whole, the U. S. Fencing Team at the IXth Olym-
piad was the best balanced in all weapons in my experience of
American Fencers at the Olmypiads. The future policy is
obvious. Scrap the old men or use them sparingly and build
future teams of young men. We have a good nucleus for
future teams.
Foils—Calnan, Levis, Every.
Epee—Calnan.
Sabre—Huffman and Cohn.
We should find the material for the next Olympic Fenc-
ing Team in these men and other men now in college.
In Rene Pinchart and George Santelli, we have had the
best coaches possible. They have worked without ceasing
with the available material. The progress of our Olympic
Fencing is largely due to them, I believe their excellence will
206 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

be further demonstrated by the future International perform-


ance of American Fencers. To Mr. Grasson, the Yale coach,
great credit is due for the development of Every and Huff-
man, his pupils.
To show the gruelling test of a good fencer in the Olym-
pic Games we may cite the case of Calnan. He fought 103
bouts: Won 66 victories—suffered 37 defeats and made 4
double touches.
17 nations were represented by Foil Teams.
20 nations were represented by Epee Teams.
13 nations were represented by Sabre Teams.
Altogether 22 nations were represented in the fencing.
organization of the matches by the Dutch Fencing
Federation was excellent. The specially built pavilion adja-
cent to the main stadium was the best location for Olympic
Fencing I have seen. All the arrangements were carried out
with efficiency. Messrs. Schoon and Anspach with their col-
leagues deserve great credit and the thanks of all concerned.
It is a reasonable hope that the conduct of future Olympic
Fencing competition be characterized by a higher chivalry
than was attained at the last three Olympiads. Of course,
Fencing is a combative sport. The will to win is developed to
a high pitch. It should not be otherwise. But always there
should be maintained that spirit of courtesy and sportsman-
ship for which the art stands. The code of the game should
require a fencer to acknowledge a touch received. It should
restrain him from claiming by word or gesture a touch which
he does not make or a touch which he does make. The pre-
requisite for attaining this desirable state of conduct by com-
petitors is impartial and efficient judging. Judges should not
be controlled in their decisions by the acknowledgment of
competitors. But such acknowledgment is to my mind a re-
quisite manifestation of the chivalry of our sport. No honor-
able fencer desires to receive credit for a touch he did not
make, nor is willing to disregard a valid touch made against
him. No greater honor was gained for his country in the
Fencing at the IX Olympiad than the spontaneous admiration
created on all sides by the sportsmanlike conduct of Duchet
of France who unfailingly acknowledged all valid touches
against him and made no unseemly manifestations of any sort
NINTH OLYMPIAD 207

throughout all of his arduous matches. His victories or de-


feats are forgotten. His honorable and sportsmanlike con-
duct always will be a pleasant memory to those who partici-
pated in the Fencing of the IX Olympiad.
The success of the Fencing was due in no small part to
such excellent presidents of the jury as the masterful Major
de Jong of Holland, Biscoe of England, Cuomo of Italy,
Lajoux of France and Anspach of Belgium. Much of the
judging was good. Some of it was decidedly incompetent.
And some of it lacked that impartiality without which fencing
competition becomes a very disagreeable spectacle and ex-
perience.
Finally, it is a pleasure to report the growing popularity
of our great sport. Fencing nations recently appearing in
Olympic competition made a splendid showing and demon-
strated the widespread growth of the art. Argentine was
represented by a strong team of young men expert in the
Italian school. Likewise, Egypt sent for the first time a team
of strong fencers and fine sportsmen. We hope all of the na-
tions represented at the IX Olympiad will come to Los An-
geles in 1932.

REPORT OF FENCING TEAM COACH


RENE PINCHART
The American Fencing Team as a whole did all that was
expected of them If not more; the young men especially.
One must realize that America is still very young In this
sport compared to other nations. Fencing is very popular in
Europe. Over there they have international competitions al-
most every week during the season. In this way they get
good experience and get used to the ways of the directors,
(some directors give the right-of-way to the attack, others
to the stop, etc.). Under these conditions a fencer will always
try to fence in accordance with the views of the director
governing the bout. These advantages the Americans lack.
The competitions they hold are all in the United States be-
tween themselves and usually in the same town. In this way
they do not get used to the way and methods of foreign fenc-
ers as well as to those of the judges and directors.
208 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

The American Fencing Team's good showing is the re-


sult of their combative spirit and the intensive training they
went through a month before the Games. This training was
well suited to the younger members who could better stand
the grind. In competitions the older men were brilliant in
spots but were not as steady and reliable as the younger men
whose recuperative powers were greater.
One thing that was overlooked was the climatic condi-
tions. A few of the fencers had the grippe which hampered
them to quite an extent.
Of the team that went over we have about five good men
to form a nucleus for the next Olympic Games, and these men
under the guidance of as able a leader as the present one
should do still much better.
Finally this Olympiad has been a great boon to fencing
in the United States, It has helped to make them feel that
they have good hopes of becoming the equal of any other
nation.

REPORT OF FENCING TEAM COACH


GEORGE SANTELLI
The Olympic Games of 1928 in Amsterdam brought to-
gether twenty-four fencing nations. This was the most num-
erous fencing Olympiad since the Olympic Games are in ex-
istence. Every nation came with a complete team, in which
every member was very well trained; and in these Games the
American team made its best showing, up to now.
In four years, fencing improved enormously in the States.
The whole fencing world which, up to this year's Olympics,
did not count the States as a fencing nation, had to recognize
our enormous improvement; and after these Olympics, the
American fencing sport will have a great reputation. If one
takes into consideration that, throughout all the games, the
team had the hardest luck that any team has ever had, the
United States can be proud of its fencers, I will not go into
detail of the different fencing matches, because the captain of
the team will make an exact statistical report of the whole
fencing Olympics. I will write about the things which I re-
marked during the games.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 209

First, I have to cite Lieutenant Calnan of the Navy. He


was unquestionably the best man on the team. With a bad
cold and fever, he fenced and fought indefatigably. As our
best man, he had to fence in every foil team match. This
naturally tired him for the individual foil competitions, so he
could not develop his best form there and only for that reason
did he not make a place in the individual foil competition. He
is as good as the best of the European fencers in foil and epee.
He is still young and it is certain that some day he will bring
more honor and victory to the United States. In making
third place in the individual competition in epee, he had just
recompense for his serious preparation.
The foil team did wonders, and, had they not had the bad
luck to be drawn in the last semi-finals with Italy first and
France, second, they would have certainly been entered in the
finals and might have taken a respectable third place. Even
under these circumstances, we took fifth place, leaving behind
us many nations which have a much older fencing culture
than we have.
The foil team competition gave us a revelation in the
person of Joseph Levis. He is the first American fencer in
the history of the Olympics to reach the finals In Individual
competition. With his youth, he was able to overcome the
fatigues of an Olympic competition. I am not exaggerating
in saying that he will have a great future as a fencer.
But not only Calnan and Levis fenced well; Colonel
Breckinridge also competed remarkably well, using his head
more than his physical strength. He beat several opponents
who have great names as fencers. Major Rayner, Every and
Peroy did their best to help score our victories.
The epee team scored higher than the foil team and, with
a fair judging, we should have been in the finals and taken
third place, with the Italians first and the French second.
I have seen many competitions but never have I seen such bad
decisions given as those against our epee team when they
fenced with the Belgians, It was so evident that the judges
were helping the Belgians that even the neutral spectators
made some comment. Only our fencers did not say a word,
showing their opponents real fencing chivalry. Colonel
Breckinridge's attitude, in particular, was so remarkable that
210 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

he gained everyone's sympathy and esteem. As a result, later,


everybody wanted an American fencer as referee; and again
Colonel Breckinridge, who judged throughout the whole sabre
individual finals, made the greatest impression with his im-
partiality and fairness and gained the title of the best inter-
national judge.
Returning to the epee competition, I could see that, ex-
cept for Italy and France, our team was the best. Calnan,
Milner, Lyon, Colonel Breckinridge and Major Rayner all
fenced marvellously. In the team work, very remarkable was
Mr, Arthur Lyon's Fencing, who, in his epic bout with Buch-
ard, twice European Champion, beat him two to one.
In the sabre competitions we had a misfortune. Our first
match was against the Hungarians who won the first place.
They were unquestionably the best team. But that Poland
beat us by a very small margin (one touch), was only due to
the mischance that two of our fencers, Mr. Lyon and Mr.
Van Buskirk, fenced very much below their usual form. Very
often the best of fencers are beaten because of nervous depres-
sion and the psychological effect that a match has on them.
Had this not happened we could easily have beaten the Polish
team which, in the finals, took third place. Nickolas' Muray
was the best man on the sabre team, winning most of his
bouts. But really remarkable was the fencing of the two
youngsters, John Huffman and Norman Cohn. They fenced
wonderfully and made a very good impression on the Euro-
pean fencers, In the individual matches Cohn and Huffman
reached the last semi-finals. If they had more routine they
surely would have reached the finals. John Huffman tied for
the finals with the French champion, Lacroix, and he went
out for two touches. Cohn beat Dr. Combos, a European
champion, for the past two years in the semi-finals, with a
score of 5-1. . . and Captain de Jong, a military world cham-
pion, by the flattering score of 5-0. But not having exper-
ience, he lost several bouts from 4-4. Both boys are under
23 years of age. This was their first Olympic experience, and
last year they were still Junior fencers.
I should not forget Miss Marion Lloyd. She is the first
American woman fencer who came through the preliminaries.
In the semi-finals she also fenced very well, beating Miss
NINTH OLYMPIAD 211

Elena Mayer, the Olympic champion. She was one of the


few women who fenced with perfect fencing style and good
form, thanks to her instructor, Joseph Vince.
All the fencers did better than in the past Olmypic Games
because all the preparations were made in a perfect manner.
The Fencing League, following a very good policy, gave the
advantages to the younger fencers. This is a very wise course
since only a young man can withstand the fatigue of these
competitions, I do not mean that, for the future, we have
eliminated the older fencers from the Olympic Games. We
can use them to great advantage in teams for short matches,
in which they can use their greater experience and do not tire
so easily. I hope that the Fencing League will follow these
good policies, bringing this country a couple of more good
fencing instructors as they did in the past few years, continu-
ing to give the young fencers opportunity. The Italian fen-
cers clearly demonstrated that Youth was the most important
attribute. I must salute my colleague, Rene Pinchart, who
gave all his energy and good will to making the American
team a success.

time at which each pool starts.
At the hour mentioned the president of the jury named by the F. I. E. will call over the names
of the fencers or teams he is to judge. If at the first calling-over a fencer or a team is absent or
a team is incomplete the calling-over will be repeated twice at the interval of a minute. If a
fencer or a team is not effectively present at the twice calling-over such fencer or team will
be irrevocably debarred from taking part in that competition and no appeal against this deci-
sion will be entertained.
Article XVIII
In all pools every fight will be clearly announced beforehand so that every fencer may have
time to get ready. If after this announcement the fencer whose turn it is to fight does not
present himself at the first demand of the president of the Jury he shall be irrevocably debarred
from taking any further part in the pool.
Moreover a fencer who abandons a fight and leaves the piste will be irrevocably debarred
from taking any further part in the pool if he does not present himself at the first demand of the
president of the jury. This demand must be made at once. In this case of recognized "force
majeur" (f.i., broken weapon, disarranged clothing, accident, indisposition, etc.) the President
of the Jury is authorized to allow the necessary time before he makes his demand.

REMARK —It is advisable to have the lines marked visible and with a rainproof substance.
Article IV
Goals, Posts, Etc.
There shall be a goal at the center of each goal line, and it shall consist of two perpendicular
posts 3.64 meters (4 yards) apart (inside measurement) joined together by a horizontal crossbar
2.17 meters (7 feet) from the ground. The goalposts shall not extend upward beyond the
cross-bar nor the cross-bar sideways beyond the goal posts. The posts shall be 0.05 meters
(2 inches) broad and not more than 0.075 meters (3 inches) in depth and the posts and cross-
bars shall have rectangular edges to the sides facing the field of play. Nets shall be attached

In front of each goal shall be drawn a white line 3.64 meters (4 yards) long, parallel to, and
13.65 meters (15 yards) from the goal line. This line shall be continued each way to meet the

220 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

Article VIII
Boots, Etc.
No player shall wear any dangerous material such as spikes or nails, etc.
Article IX
Bully
The game shall be started (and restarted) after each goal and half time by one player of each
team together bullying the ball in the center of the ground. If the play is momently suspended
it will be restarted bullying the ball also but off on a spot to be chosen by the umpire and
generally there, where the ball was on the moment of suspending the play. To bully the ball
each player shall tap first the ground on his own side of the ball and then his opponent's stick
three times alternately; after which one of these two players must strike the ball before it is in
general play. In all cases of bullying the two players who are bullying shall stand squarely
facing the sidelines, the goal at their right side. Every other player shall be near to his own
goal than the ball is (except in the case of a penalty bully) and no other player shall stand within
2.73 meters (3 yards) of the players participating in the bully. An ordinary bully in the circle
shall not be taken nearer than 4.55 meters (5 yards) from the goal-line. For any breach of this
rule the "bully" shall be taken again.
Article X
Goal
For a goal to be scored:
1. The whole ball must pass entirely over the goal line under the bar and between the goal
posts.
2. The ball whilst within the striking circle must have been hit by or glanced off the stick
of an attacker.
If the ball passes between the goal posts after having been struck by or having glanced off the
stick or person of a defender, or defenders, subsequent to being hit by or glancing off the stick
of an attacker within the circle a goal is scored. Should the goal posts or bar become displaced,
and the ball pass at a point which, in the opinion of the Umpire, is between where the posts
or below where the bar should have been, a goal shall be scored.
REMARK—It must be observed that a goal is not scored if the ball has not been struck by or
glanced off the stick of an offender within the circle.
Thus (a) It is not necessary that the offender will be within the circle; (b) but the ball must
be struck by or glanced off the stick of an offender within the circle (c) If the ball, struck by or
glanced off the stick of a defender passes the goal line, no goal shall be scored but a corner or penalty-
corner will be given depending of willfulness or not.
It is to be understood that the penalty circle includes the lines enclosing this circle. The
ball shall be considered to be within the circle if not any part of the circumference does not pass
the circle lines.
Article XI
Off-Side
When the ball is hit, or rolled in from the side-line, any other player of the same team as the
striker or roller-in who is, at that moment, nearer his opponent's goal line shall be off-side
unless there be at least three of his opponents nearer than he is to their own goal line.
A player who is off-side may not play or attempt to play the ball nor in any way interfere
with any other player until the ball has been touched or hit by one of his opponents.
No player shall be off-side.
(a) If he is in his own half on the ground, or
(b) If the ball was last touched or hit by one of his opponents or by one of his own team
who is nearer the opponent's goal line than himself.
Penalties (Inside or Outside the Circles) .—For any breach the penalty shall be a free hit by
one of the opposing team on the spot where the breach occurred.
REMARK—Never there will be given a penalty for off-side if a player does not in any way
interfere an opponent or really take part of the game.
A passing via the goal post to one of the attacking team will be considered as a direct passing
and the off-side rule will be in force.
Article XII
General Details
The ball may be caught or stopped with the hands, but if caught must be immediately
released to fall perpendicularly towards the ground. The foot, if used for stopping the ball,
shall be removed immediately.
The ball may not be picked up, carried, kicked, thrown or knocked on or back except with
the stick.
The flat side of the stick only shall be used and no player shall in any way interfere with the
game unless his stick is in his hand. There shall be no charging, kicking, shoving, shinning,
tripping, holding or striking at sticks.
Hooking sticks is only permissible when the stick hooked is within striking distance of the
ball.
A player shall not obstruct by interposing himself between an opponent and the ball, nor by
interposing himself or his stick in any way as an obstruction, nor shall he tackle from an oppo-
nent's left, unless he touches the ball before he touches the person or stick of his opponent.
The goal keeper shall not be penalized if in stopping a hit at goal the ball does not fall per-
pendicularly, having in the Umpire's opinion merely rebounded off his open hand. He shall
also be allowed to kick the ball, but only in his own striking circle. In the event of his taking
part in a penalty bully these two privileges shall not be allowed him.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 221

Article XIII
"Sticks"
When striking at the ball no part of the stick shall be raised above the shoulder either at
the beginning or end of the stroke.
Article XIV
Undercutting
No player shall intentionally undercut the ball. The scoop stroke, which raises the ball is
permissible (except as provided for in Rule 15) but the Umpire shall penalize it in any par-
ticular instance if it is dangerous in itself or likely to lead to dangerous play. The ball may
be hit whilst in the air (except as provided for in Rule 13),
Penalties for Breaches of Rules 12, 13 and 14:
1. Outside the Circles.—For any breach the penalty shall be a free hit for one of the opposing
team on the spot where the breach occurred.
2. Inside the Circles.—(a.) For any breach by the attacking team the penalty shall be a
free hit for the defending team.
(b) For any breach by the defending team the penalty shall be a "penalty corner" or a
"penalty bully" on the spot where the breach occurred.
A penalty bully shall only be given for a wilful breach of a rule or when, had the breach not
occurred, a goal would probably have been scored.
Important Remark.—1. A penalty bully must be given for a wilful "stick" to prevent a
goal, although paragraph (b) mentioned above, seems to show the contrary. In this case the
breach of the rule "sticks" must have prevented a goal.
The general opinion is that a penalty corner can only be given in case of a wilful fault to
prevent a probable goal. However, the rules are much more exact as a penalty-bully must
be given: (a) for a wilful fault; (b) and also if a goal would have been scored if no breach
(wilful or not) had occurred.
3. Inside or Outside the Circles.—In the event of two players being simultaneously at fault,
the Umpire shall give a bully at the spot where the breach occurred.
REMARK.—It is especially recommended to the Umpire and Captains to observe that those
players, who generally make "sticks" or "undercutting" and specially if clearing their end, shall
get out of these had habits as both of them are most dangerous for all the players.
However a certain toleration must be bewared relative the "kick." It will only be a fault if the
player's foot is in movement on the moment that the ball is struck by, or if the player gets a direct
advantage.
Faults as obstructing, charging, tackling from the left, must be prevented and if occurring be
severely penalized by the umpire.
Article XV
Free Hit
When a free hit is being taken, no other player shall stand within 4.55 meters (5 yards) o £
the striker. Should, however, the Umpire consider that a player is doing so in order to gain
time, he may allow the hit to be taken at once.
After taking a free hit the striker shall not participate in the game until the ball has been
touched or hit by another player.
The ball must be hit fairly, the scoop stroke not being permissible in this instance.
Should the striker hit at but miss the ball, the hit shall be taken again provided he has not
given "sticks."
Penalties—If any player, other than the striker, be within 4.55 meters (5 yards) of the ball
at the time of a free hit, the Umpire shall order the hit to be taken again, except as specially
provided for in this rule.
If the striker, after taking such hit, participates in the game again before the ball has been
touched or hit by another player.
1. Inside the Circles.—The Umpire shall give a "penalty corner."
2. Outside the Circles.—The Umpire shall give a free hit to one of the opposite team to the
offender.
If the ball is not fairly hit:
1. Outside the Circles.—The Umpire shall give a free hit to one of the opposite team to the
offender.
2. Inside the Circles.—The Umpire shall give a "penalty corner."

Article XVI
Penalty Bully
A penalty shall be taken by the offender, or by any other player of the defending team if the
offender is incapacitated, or has been suspended for misconduct, and by any player of the
attacking team, on the spot where the breach occurred.
All other players shall remain beyond the nearer 22.75 meters (25 yards) line until the
penalty bully has been completed.
If during the progress of a bully the ball passes wholly over any part of the goal line, which
is within the striking circle, other than that between the goal posts, off the stick or person of the
offender, the penalty bully shall be taken again.
If the ball passes wholly over the goal line between the goal posts off the stick of the attacker,
or stick or person of the offender, a goal shall be scored.
In all other cases, as soon as the ball has passed wholly outside the striking circle the game
shall be restarted by a bully on the centre of the nearer 22.75 meters (25 yards) line.
222 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

Penalties:
(a) Breach of Any Rule by the Offender (Except Rule 9).—The attacking team shall be
awarded a penalty goal, which shall be of the same value as an ordinary goal.
(b) Breach of Any Rule by the Player Selected by the Attacking Team (Except Rule 9).—The
defending team shall be allowed a free hit.
(c) Simultaneous Breach of Any Rule by Both Players.—The bully shall be taken again.

Article XVII
Roll In
When the ball passes wholly over the side line, it shall be rolled in (and not bounced)
by hand along the ground, in any direction, from the point where it crossed the side line. The
roll-in shall be taken by one of the team opposed to the player who last touched the ball.
Players may cross the 6.37 meters (7 yards) line immediately the ball leaves the hand of the
roller-in. The ball may be rolled in at once, but no other player shall stand (himself or his stick)
within the 6.37 meters (7 yards) line or outside the side-line. Should the Umpire consider that
a player is standing within the 6.37 meters (7 yards) line or outside the side line, to gain time,
he shall not stop the game. The roller-in must have both feet and stick outside the side line,
and may only play the ball again after it has been touched by another player.
Penalties;
(a) Breach of the Rule by the Player who Rolls In.—The roll in shall be taken by a player
of the other team.
(b) Breach of the Rule by Any Other Player.—The roll in shall be taken again except as
specially provided for in this rule.
REMARK.-— The Umpire must carefully take care that the player, who rolls in, really rolls
the ball over the ground, as many players bounce it.
The rule of 6.37 meters (7 yards) line must only be taken strictly, when one of the players gets a
real advantage by breaching of it. It is important that no time will be lost.

Article XVIII
Behind
(a) If a ball is sent over the goal line by one of the attacking team or glances off the stick
or person of, or in the opinion of the Umpire is unintentionally sent over the goal line by,
one of the defending team who is farther away from his own goal line than the 22.75 meters
(25 yards) line, it shall be brought out 22.75 meters (25 yards) in a direction at right angles
to the goal line from the point where it crossed the line and there "bullied."
(b) If the ball glances off the stick or person of, or is, in the Umpire's opinion, unintentionally
sent over the goal line by one of the defending team who is behind the 22.75 meters (25 yards)
line a corner shall be awarded to the attacking team.
(c) If, however, the ball is intentionally, in the Umpire's opinion, sent behind the goal line
by any player of the defending team from any part of the field, the Umpire shall give a penalty
corner to the attacking team.
REMARK.—1. A corner can never be given if the defender unwilfully has touched the ball
outside the 22.75 meters (25 yards) line.
2. But a penalty corner must be given if the ball has been wilfully hit "corner" even outside the
22.75 meters (25 yards) line.
Article XIX
Corner
A player of the attacking team shall have a hit from a point on the side or goal line within
2.73 meters (3 yards) of the nearest corner flag, and at the moment of such hit the feet and sticks
of all the defending team must be behind own goal line, and the feet and sticks of all the attack-
ing team must be outside the circle in the field of play.
Provided that no player shall stand within 4.55 meters (5 yards) of a striker when a corner
hit is taken, and that no goal can be scored from a corner hit by the attacking team unless the
ball has been stopped (not necessarily motionless) on the ground, or has touched the person or
stick of one of the defending team before the last stroke of the attacking team. A player taking
a corner hit cannot participate in the game again until the ball has been touched or hit by
another player. On taking a corner hit, if the striker miss the ball he shall take the hit again
provided he does not contravenue Rule 13 (sticks).
Penalties;
If any member of the attacking team takes a flying hit at goal without attempting to stop
the ball, the Umpire shall award a free hit.
If the striker after taking such hit participates in the game again before the ball has been
touched or hit by another player the Umpire shall award a free hit.
REMARK.—-The players and Umpires must carefully note that the ball, in a direct passing,
must be stopped before shooting.
Article XX
Penalty Corner
A penalty corner hit shall be taken from any point on the goal line, on either side of the goal,
at a distance of not less than 9.10 meters (10 yards) from the nearer goal post. In case of a
wilful "corner" the penalty corner hit shall be taken from any point on the goal line on the side
where the ball has passed the line but at a distance of not less than 9.10 meters (10 yards) from
the nearer goal post.
All prescriptions and penalties relative to the "corner" are in force with "penalty corner."
NINTH OLYMPIAD 223

Article XXI
Umpires
There are two Umpires. Each Umpire shall take half the ground for the whole game without
changing ends. He shall also take one side line and give decisions as to the roll-in in both halves
of the ground. He shall give decisions as to "corner" only for his half of the ground.
The Umpire shall allow (the elements permitting) the full or agreed time, neither, more or
less, deducting all wastage, and keep a record of the game. In the event of a penalty-bully
failing to be taken of the call of half time or time, an Umpire shall allow extra time until either
a goal has been scored or the penalty bully has been completed. The ball is in play until the
whistle has been blown. If there be only one Umpire, there should be two linesmen to give
decisions as to the ball passing over the side lines, and as to where and by which team the ball
shall be rolled in.
Umpires and linesmen are debarred from coaching during a game.
Umpires shall refrain from enforcing a penalty in cases where they are satisfied that by
enforcing it they would be giving an advantage to the offending team.
The Umpires shall give all decisions without waiting for an appeal.
A ball striking an Umpire shall remain in play.

Article XXII
Rough Play and Misconduct
For rough play or misconduct the Umpire shall have a discretionary power to warn the of-
fending player, or to suspend him from further participation in the game.
Article XXIII
Accidents
When a player is temporarily incapacitated, the Umpire shall suspend the game. If a goal
is scored before the game has been suspended, it shall be allowed, if in the Umpire's opinion it
would have been scored had the accident not happened.
When an Umpire is temporarily incapacitated, the second Umpire shall suspend the game.
If a goal is scored before the game has been suspended, it shall be allowed if in the second Um-
pire's opinion it would have been scored had the accident not happened.
When the game is resumed the ball shall be bullied off on a spot to be chosen by the Umpire
in whose half of the ground the player was hurt, subject to Rule 9.

Broad and Long Horse Jumping and a Team Drill.
Our gymnasts are named herewith in the order of their
rating after the Olympic contest.
Points
1. Alfred Jochim......... 218.75 5. H. G. N e w h a r t . . . . . . . . 209.375

These men were unable to score high enough in any sin-
gle event to "place" said places being won almost entirely by
the three leading teams, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia and
Jugoslavia,
We were denied more specific information as to the final
rating of our men, with the explanation that same would be
mailed to us in about two months from Paris headquarters of
the International Federation.
In the Federation meetings, our officials were assigned an
active part with Messrs. H. Panzer, Joseph Oszy, A. H.
Picker and M. H. Trieb appointed as Judges over the three
day period.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 225

A modern school house with yard was placed at our dis-


posal and we were permitted to install our apparatus, making
training facilities ideal. We are indebted to the Narragansett
Machine Co., Providence, R. I. for loaning said apparatus to
us, from the date of our tryouts through the Olympic contest
period.
The plan of having our gymnastic team at the scene of
action two or three weeks prior to their competition, worked
out well and should be followed in future but the final tryout
should not exceed two weeks before date of sailing, and pre-
ference, if any, given to men from clubs which feature gym-
nastics as a major sport.

REPORT OF TRAINER. GYMNASTIC TEAM


HERBERT G. FORSELL
Viewed from almost any angle the Gymnastic Team,
which represented America at Amsterdam, was a most suc-
cessful one. Under the careful supervision of Mr. Roy E.
Moore our boys left these shores fit for the strenuous com-
petition of the Games. Training aboard ship could hardly be
considered very effective but with favorable weather condi-
tions we were able to set up our apparatus and keep up train-
ing to a certain extent.
At Amsterdam we were given the use of a modern school-
house, equipped with gymnasiums and a playyard, in which
we were permitted to install our apparatus and were enabled
to train under fairly favorable conditions. The lack of shower
baths, however, was a severe hindrance to the conditioning
of our men.
In competition our men were allotted late afternoon
periods and in many instances were decidedly handicapped by
the unfavorable winds which swept across the Stadium, mak-
ing balance movements practically impossible. As individ-
uals we were unable to win honors but as a team made
seventh place in the entire tournament.
The Swiss gymnasts, as was generally expected, proved
superior but America's Team was recognized by authorities as
having made the greatest improvement since the Paris
Olympiad.
226 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

The amendments made in 1926 to the A. A. U. rules


governing gymnastics, which now call for prescribed exer-
cises on apparatus, resulted favorably in preparing our can-
didates for the competition. The plan of having our men on
the scene two weeks before competition certainly met with
the approval of the team, and I recommend that in future
Olympiads we continue this same procedure.

GENERAL REGULATIONS
A.—INDIVIDUAL AND TEAM COMPETITIONS
(MEN)
1° Drill:
Voluntary exercises; the teams to perform for 10 to 12 minutes; each
nation is quite free in its choice of these exercises which are to consist
228 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

of marches, turns and preliminary exercises with or without hand apparatus


according to the system of each nation.
2° Apparatus:
One set and one voluntary exercise on Horizontal Bar, Parallel Bars,
Pommel Horse and Rings.
3° Jumps:
(a) A set vault over horse sideways with pommels and stiff springboard
10 cm. high.
(b) A voluntary vault over the long horse without pommels and with
springboard with bar or with springs, height of horse above springboard
1.40M. Set exercises may be done optionally but entirely to the left or to
the right.
On the apparatus each gymnast may repeat a compulsory exercise or
vault once and the best performance will be taken into account.
Voluntary exercises may only be performed once and judged finally.
Each section competing shall be under the direction of a leader standing
out of rank during the whole of the competitions. The duty of the leader
is solely to lead his section before the Jury. He may demonstrate the drill
and command the team. Before the exercises take place he must see that
the apparatuses in order and he may stand near the apparatus in order
to prevent any accident but he must not give any help to the competitors.
His name and qualifications shall be enumerated on the nomination list of
gymnasts forming the section. His work is not taken into consideration
and no points are allotted for his performance. He is the intermediary
between the jury and his section.
The order of the sections competing shall be determined by drawing
lots. A timetable shall be drawn up according to which the groups shall
be ready for the contests.
At the appointed hour for the start of the contests all members of the
Jury and the competing teams must be on the ground in their allotted
places.
The teams must arrive and depart together.
All members of the Jury must be at the competitions and may not
accept functions which will take them away from the ground and thus
hinder the regular course of events.
Any gymnast leaving without permission from the Jury cannot re-enter.
It is not allowed to substitute one gymnast for another during the compe-
titions.
Gymnasts must take notice of the observations of the Jury.
Any illness or accident must be immediately reported by the leader and
verified by the Doctor.
In order to allow an injured gymnast to recover he or his section may
stop their performance for 20 minutes at the most, if after this time has
expired the incapacity continues he or his section will continue or the
gymnast will be eliminated.
Any claim concerning the participation of a gymnast must be made at
the opening of the competitions or as soon as cause has arisen.
All gymnasts of one section must be uniformly clad; members of the
same section shall all wear the same distinctive badge. No particular
gymnast may perform barefooted.
The ground for the competitions shall be entirely isolated and only
accessible to the members of the Jury, gymnasts and leaders.
CALCULATION OF POINTS
1°. Drill:
There shall be five judges of different nationalities if possible who shall
NINTH OLYMPIAD 229

award 50 points as a maximum and multiplied by the co-efficient


6 equals = 300
The method is as follows:
1. Individual execution, 2 judges give 20 points each of which
the half is 20
2. Combination and difficulty ditto 20
3. Execution as a whole, one judge gives 10 points. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10
Total 50
Multiplied by 6 300
Minimum time of display 10 minutes, maximum 12. 10 points will be
deducted if this time is exceeded or shortened.
2°. Apparatus:
Each exercise shall be judged by three judges each awarding a minimum
of 10 points, therefore a total of 30 points may be awarded for each
exercise.
3°. Vaults:
Each vault shall be judged by three judges each awarding a maximum
of 10 points. The total thus obtained shall be divided by 2 so that for
each vault 15 points will be given.
POINTS AWARDED TO TEAMS
1. Drill: 5 judges award 50 points X 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 300
2. Apparatus: 3 judges X 10 points X 8 apparatus X 6 gymnasts. 1440
3. Vaults: 3 judges X 10 points X 2 vaults X 6 gymnasts = 360
divided by 2 180
1920
POINTS AWARDED TO INDIVIDUALS
The classification of individual competitors will be made according to
the number of points obtained at the apparatus and vaults.
1. Apparatus: 3 judges X 10 points X 8 a p p a r a t u s . . . . . . . . . . . . 240
2. Vaults: 3 judges X 10 points X 2 vaults. 30
270
Individual classification at each apparatus is made according to the
number of points obtained in the set and voluntary exercises. The maxi-
mum is therefore 60.

MATERIALS
Each nation may use its own apparatus which shall be transported and
installed at its own risks and expense.

REPORT OF MANAGER, LACROSSE TEAM


CHARLES L. ORNSTEIN
America's representative in Lacrosse—Johns Hopkins
University of Baltimore, Md.—has, we believe, the privilege
of claiming the world's championship in the first organized
effort to promote International Olympic competition in this
sport. This claim is based upon developments in the com-
petition among the championship teams of Canada, England
and the United States in the Olympic Stadium at Amster-
dam on August 5, 6 and 7, 1928.
The results of this competition were as follows:
1. On August 5 the United States defeated Cana-
da by the score of 6 to 3.
2. The following day the United States was de-
feated by England by the margin of one goal, 7 to 6,
3. On August 7, England, playing, like the
United States had done, its second game on successive
days, was badly beaten by the Canadians, who had had
a day of rest after their hard struggle with America on
August 5. The score of the Canada-England game
was 9 to 5.
The officials in those games—referee, judge of play and
goal umpires—were furnished by the contesting nations, the
referee in each game being supplied by the idle team. Thus
an English official refereed the Canada-America game, a
Canadian official the England-America game, and an Ameri-
can the Canada-England game.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 237

W. Wilson Wingate, of Baltimore, Md., refereed in the


England-Canada game, and acted as judge of play in each of
the other two contests.
As the scores given above indicate, the series at Amster-
dam did not bring about a clear-cut decision as to the supre-
macy among the contesting nations.
However, with a view to breaking what some may
choose to call a deadlock, the manager of the American team^
Charles L. Ornstein approached the managers of the Cana-
dian and English teams—D. K. Mackenzie, of Canada, and
W. Scholes, of England. Mr. Mackenzie agreed, but Mr.
Scholes dissented, asserting that prior business engagements
made it impossible for certain members of the English team
to remain longer in Amsterdam.
Yet, despite the failure of our effort to effect an arrange-
ment for further games, an analysis of the point score in the
three games played reveal certain interesting facts in support
of the American claim to an edge over each of the other two
twelves.
First, it will be seen that each team scored a total of
twelve goals in its two games. But, in total goals allowed
the opposition America has the best record. Our team had
scored against it only 10 goals. Canada had 11 scored
against it, while no less than 15 shots by the American and
Canadian attacks found their mark in the netting behind the
English goal tender.
England played under exactly the same conditions as did
America. That is to say, the English played their two games
on successive days. Yet, our record, despite our one-goal de-
feat at the hands of the English, is five goals better.
Canada, defeated decisively by America, had a day of
rest between its two games, and was fit and ready to adminis-
ter the one-sided defeat meted out to the English players,
who, unable to come back after their terrific struggle with
America the day before, were noticeably lacking in the snap
and dash so essential to success in lacrosse.
But, notwithstanding the advantage the draw gave Can-
ada, America finished with a better record by one goal.
The idea of having lacrosse demonstrated in the 1928
Olympic Games originated with the proposal made to the
International Olympic Committee and to the Dutch Olympic
Committee by P. J. Mulqueen, of Toronto, Canada.
238 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

Information to this effect was in due time placed before


the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (the
present governing body for lacrosse in America) at its an-
nual meeting in November, 1926, by its president, W, Cas-
pan Wylie, of Baltimore, Md. Mr. Wylie was then dele-
gated a committee of one to investigate and assist in carry-
ing the matter to a successful conclusion,
In this connection, Mr. Wylie, while on a trip to Europe,
conferred with Dutch, English and French Olympic and
lacrosse officials.
The selection of the American team was made through
the American Olympic Committee, co-operating with the
United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association. The
American Olympic Lacrosse Committee was appointed by
Major-General Douglas MacArthur, President of the Ameri-
can Olympic Committee, in November, 1927.
This committee was composed of Charles L. Ornstein,
member of the American Olympic Executive Committee,
chairman; Dr. Ronald T. Abercrombie, N.C.A.A.; Laurie D.
Cox, Syracuse University; Commander Jonas Ingram, U. S»
Naval Academy; Albert B. Nies, Princeton University; Wil-
liam C. Schmeisser, Johns Hopkins University; R. V. Truitt,
University of Maryland; Charles W. B. Wardell, Crescent
Athletic Club; W. Caspari Wylie, Mt. Washington Club;
Major Harlan Mumma, U. S. Military Academy.
This committee proved to be the moving spirit behind
the plan which brought about in America the most hotly con-
tested campaign lacrosse has ever known anywhere. Out of
some 40 college and club twelves which late in March or
early in April began the season, there emerged at the end of
the free-for-all on June 2 six teams which, in the opinion of
the American Olympic Lacrosse Committee, were the cream
of the Nation's stick combinations.
In this connection it might be stated that the Committee
had decided before the season opened that a team as a unit,
rather than a group of all-stars, would be chosen to repre-
sent America at Amsterdam.
The six American twelves standing out at the close of
the regular season (Hopkins, Mt, Washington, Maryland,
Army, Navy and Rutgers) then entered a three-round play-
NINTH OLYMPIAD 239

off elimination, which got under way with a double-header at


the Baltimore Stadium on June 9.
On that date Hopkins defeated Mount Washington, 6 to
4, and Maryland won from Rutgers, 7 to 2.
The following Saturday, June 16, Hopkins and Maryland,
respectively, met Army and Navy, which had obtained first-
round byes. A crowd greater even than the large gathering
which had sat through a cloud-burst at Baltimore Stadium
on June 9 saw the games on June 16 at the Central High
School Stadium, Washington, D. C, where Hopkins defeated
Army, 4 to 2, and Maryland triumphed over Navy by 6 to 2.
The finals of the play-off on June 23 at Baltimore Sta-
dium drew the greatest crowd that ever saw a lacrosse game
in America and the spectators were rewarded with a magni-
ficent entertainment. Hopkins, continuing the sensational
work which it began with its regular-season victory by 6 to 1
over Maryland on May 26 again triumphed, this time by the
score of 6 to 3, over a twelve which throughout the long
campaign lost only to Hopkins.
In every respect the play-off elimination was an unquali-
fied success. There was no hitch anywhere, no arguments,
no disputes, no recriminations. Tremendous interest wher-
ever the game is played in the United States was aroused and
large crowds were on hand on each of the three occasions,
making it possible for the lacrosse committee to turn over to
the American Olympic Committee more than enough to pay
the way of the "baby" sport in its first Olympic venture.
In this connection it might be interesting to note that
while the Olympic Lacrosse Committee agreed to pay all ex-
penses of the American lacrosse team including all of its
transportation, equipment and such incidentals as were neces-
sary to demonstrate the game at Amsterdam and other coun-
tries which was estimated to be about $9,000, the Committee
was delighted when it was able to turn over to the American
Olympic fund a check for $19,000.
Much credit for the success of the play-off was due to
Charles L. Ornstein and the men who served with him on the
play-off committee: Dr. Abercrombie, Mr. Wylie and Henry
Iddins, all of Baltimore—also to the officials, headed by Lewis
Jay Korn, of Philadelphia, who worked the games and to such
240 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

lacrosse writers as Mr. Wingate, Baltimore Sun, Mr. Cassell,


Baltimore Evening Sun and Mr. Merrill, Baltimore Post.
Besides Mr. Korn, who refereed all five games in the
playoff, the other officials were Mr. Wardell, Crescent A. C,
judge of play, and Theodore Cypioa, Crescent A. C, Roy
Taylor, New York, and Mr. Nies, Princeton, goal umpires.
The roster of the winning Hopkins team and the list of
the players who went to Amsterdam follows:
Ray Finn, goal; Carroll Liebensperger, point; Gardner
Mallonee, cover point; William Kegan, first defense; Robert
Roy, second defense; John Boynton, third defense; John
Lang, center; Louis Nixdorff, third attack; James Eagan,
second attack; George Helfrich, first attack; Thomas Biddi-
son, out home; William Logan, in home, and reserves
Charles Brownley, Purnell Hall, Howard Caplan, Frank Dot-
terweich, W. G. Herpsberger, Larkins Farinholt.
The student manager who accompanied the team to Am-
sterdam was Deeley Nice. The head coach was Dr. Ray Van
Orman and the advisory coach was William C. Schmeisser.
W. Wilson Wingate was the American official and Charles
L. Ornstein the manager of the team.
This was a splendid lacrosse team, one that was truly
representative of the best the game knows in the United
States. The work of this team both at home and in Amster-
dam was a tribute to the type of lacrosse played in the
United States and particularly to the Schmeisser-Van Orman-
Hopkins system.
It was in versatility and adaptability, founded upon a
sound and rounded technique and upon brains, that the Hop-
kins twelve repeatedly, both at home and abroad, demonstra-
ted its superiority over its opponents. The team faced every
style of attack and defense and every system of lacrosse
known to the game and was never "stumped."
The players, all college youngsters (in marked contrast
to the veteran casts of the Canadian and English twelves),
always were intelligent enough to change details in their style
to suit the occasion and to make the change with prompt and
certain decision. They had a counter for every opposing
threat, no matter what its nature. In this respect, one is
justified, it seems, in according the United States twelve an
unique place in the history of lacrosse.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 241

Because of certain unforeseen developments over which


the lacrosse people and the Dutch Olympic Committee had no
control, the demonstrations at Amsterdam were not all they
might have been.
For instance, on the day of the opening game (Sunday,
August 5), with approximately 40,000 persons gathered in the
Olympic Stadium the lacrosse game was held up for more
than two hours by the prolonged struggle for the girls' Olym-
pic high jumping championship. Then, when the contest be-
tween the United States and Canada finally got under way, a
further delay was necessitated by the finish of the marathon.
Resuming at a late hour, the contending twelves found
themselves encroaching upon the dinner hour of the specta-
tors, with the result that a large portion of the crowd began
leaving the Stadium before the game ended.
The two succeeding games were given late starting hours
and again at the finish, which was well after everyone's din-
ner hour, the crowd had thinned out.
Nevertheless, there can be no doubt that the spectators
liked lacrosse and, notwithstanding their complete unfamili-

LACROSSE EXHIBITION, CANADA vs. UNITED STATES


242 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

arity with the game, enjoyed the exhibitions immensely. In


substantiation of the observation we are incorporating in this
report a translation of a Dutch newspaper article on the
Canadian-American game. This translation of the article in
the Algemeen Handelsblad (Amsterdam) of Monday even-
ings August 6, follows:

LACROSSE
A Stimulating, Interesting and Very Lively Game
"The Lacrosse demonstration in the Stadium yesterday
was certainly an interesting event.
"Exactly what lacrosse is and how it is played was ex-
plained to our readers several days ago. And yesterday we
all had the opportunity of seeing the game played by a Cana-
dian and a U. S. A. team.
"In our vicinity in the stands we heard quite a little com-
ment on the game—some of it adverse in a way. So, appa-
rently in sporting circles, as elsewhere, the proverb holds:
'What the farmer does not know he does not eat.'
"There can be no doubt that the opinion which most pre-
vailed among our uninitiated was that the players were just
there to beat each other up with the sticks. We ourselves
have heard that the sticks frequently clashed with not a little
force, Yet, it appeared to us that this was only in accordance
with the nature of the game. Through all that we also heard
upon occasion a sound which was not exactly one resulting
from wood meeting wood.
"The referee whistled five times in those instances to call
"fault." So far as we could see the official adequately en-
forced the rules of the game, and those rules at the same time
seemed sufficiently stringent to prevent untoward accidents
—as a general thing. Certainly everyone was able to ascer-
tain that all the players retained their general good health to
the finish.
"We heard some people around us call the game rude.
That's a matter of taste.
"To us it looked like a particularly lively, highly enter-
taining and stimulating game—solely suitable, however, for
NINTH OLYMPIAD 243

very good sportsmen, we might add by way of a mental re-


servation. But when all is said and done our verdict is that
the game, as it was played yesterday, seemed very attractive.
"Of course, it must be said that to a Dutchman it seemed
a bit strange to see a player poke an opponent into the pit of
the stomach with a stick, to see two rivals push each other
out of the way like a pair of street urchins, or to see them
chase each other with sticks like charwomen with carpet-
beaters,
"But all the same this gives a picture of the tremendous
pace of the game and the tension which is maintained to the
end.
"It was distinctly amusing also to see how the players
sometimes fall over each other and tangle in small heaps;
how as they scoot along, unable to stop because of their
great momentum, they tumble into the heaps of sand in the
jumping pits outside the field or come a cropper on the cin-
ders of the running track encircling the lacrosse grounds
proper.
"But most remarkable it was to see how clever they are
at catching the little ball in their nets and how expert they
are at keeping it there, as if it were glued in place. And it
was exhilarating to witness the duels around the goals, as the
side on attack attempted—many times vainly—to send the
ball into the opposition's goal or conversely to watch the de-
fense try to regain possession of the ball.
"Very often the players danced around or jumped up and
down in front of each other. But behold the moment when a
defensive player thinks he has an opportunity to get posses-
sion of the ball! There is a wild dash and if the sortie is
successful the next move is to pass the ball far out to a
teammate who has maneuvered into position to receive it.
Then the process may be repeated.
"There is no doubt that lacrosse could be played very
roughly, if untrained and undisciplined players were to try
the game. Sound training is necessary before bringing two
teams against each other.
"In conclusion we want to repeat that lacrosse, as it was
demonstrated yesterday, gives the impression of being an in-
teresting, stimulating, exciting and very fast game. It de-
244 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

mands great speed, quick decision, initiative on the part


of the individual and a world of backbone and a firm hand."
In concluding this report, we would like to call attention
to the steps taken in Amsterdam to put lacrosse on a firm
International basis and facilitate the growth of a game which
we believe worthy of widespread recognition on the part of
sportsmen everywhere.
At the instigation of Mr. Charles L. Ornstein, on the
evening of August 6, at Amsterdam, Holland, there was or-
ganized the International Federation of Amateur Lacrosse.
The following officials were named:
Patrons—Major-General Douglas MacArthur, U. S. A.;
P. J. Mulqueen, Canada; Lord Rochdale, England.
President—Leonard Smith, Canada.
Vice-President—W. Caspari Wylie, U, S, A.
Secretary-Treasurer—C. C. Lee, England.
Executive Committee—William C. Schmeisser, U.S.A.;
D. K. MacKenzie, Australia, and W. Scholes, South Africa.
Before closing we wish particularly to express our
thanks to Major-General Douglas MacArthur, president of
the American Olympic Committee, whose interest, advice
and co-operation in the movement was in a large measure
helpful towards the success of the effort. His attendance at
the games and direction of many phases of the sport during
the entire season will always be remembered by the lacrosse
people of the United States.
We add a word of appreciation for the material assist-
ance accorded America's Olympic lacrosse venture by Fred-
erick W. Rubien, Secretary of the American Olympic Com-
mittee; Edward Stuart, President of the United States In-
tercollegiate Lacrosse Association; W. Caspari Wylie; Dr.
Ronald T. Abercrombie and Henry Iddins of Baltimore.; Dr.
Ray Van Orman, Head Coach; William C. Schmeisser, Ad-

REPORT OF MANAGER, MODERN PENTATHLON TEAM


MAJOR HAROLD M. RAYNER
As manager of the Modern Pentathlon Team, the follow-
ing comments and recommendations are submitted.
1. That the War Department be again asked to accept
the responsibility of selecting and supervising the training of
candidates for the 1932 Olympic Team.
2. That complete details of this event be obtained from
the International Olympic Committee and furnished the War
Department at as early a date as possible.
3. That pending such information the War Department
be requested to publish to all concerned full information of
the 1928 event and the results obtained therein. (This is
necessary to serve as a basis for individual training, which
should start at once.)
4. That the War Department arrange for a competition
annually at certain designated centers, as at West Point, N.
Y., and The Cavalry School, Ft. Riley, Kansas. (This will re-
sult in gradually forming a qualified group from which final
selections could be made.)
5. One year prior to the 1932 Games ten or twelve of
the best qualified prospects should be assembled at a selected
point for intensive training.
6. That the team be selected at least two months in ad-
vance of the Games, so as to enable the final training and con-
ditioning to bring the Team to its peak at the time the Olym-
pic event is held, and not at the final tryouts, as unfortunate-
ly happened this year.
7. That the place selected for final training should pos-
sess proper facilities for this event. (This year no facilities
were available for steeplechase training.)
In conclusion it is desired to state that the importance of
long and careful preparation for this event cannot be over-
emphasized. Individual training should be started this Fall
and to assist such training, full information of this event and
the results of the 1928 Games, together with the President's
NINTH OLYMPIAD 247

report, should be furnished the War Department, so that the


Service at large may be informed.
No comments are made as to the transportation, housing
and final training at Amsterdam as these details were en-
tirely satisfactory.
The Pentathlon Team desires me to express their deep
appreciation of the courtesies and aid extended them by the
Committee and the various coaches who helped prepare them
for this event.

Events
1. July 31st—Shooting: 20 shots in 4 series of 5 each pistol or revolver on target at 25
meters, in Amsterdam.
2. August 1st—-Swimming: 300 meters free style, in Amsterdam.
3. August 2nd—Fencing: Sword, in Amsterdam.
4. August 3rd—Athletics: 4000 meters cross country, in Hilversum.
5. August 4th—Horse Riding: 5000 meters cross country, in Amersfoort.
The competition will consist of the following trials:

Swimming: 300 meters free style.
Fencing: Sword.
Athletic: Cross country, 4000 meters.
Equestrian Sports: 5000 meters (cross country), over changing ground with obstacles.
Each of these trials will have its own particular day in the order given above.
The starting order of the competitors will be determined by drawing lots. There will be a
special drawing for each trial.
The final classification of the event will be determined by totaling the places taken in each
of the five trials. In case or a tie, in points, the number of victories will constitute the decisive
factor. If the tie still persists, the respective positions of the competitors will be determined
by the amount of their relative places in the five trials in the following order: cross country,
swimming, shooting, fencing and cross country riding.
SPECIAL REGULATIONS
I. Rapid Firing (at 25 meters)
1. Arms: Any revolver or pistol of any make with open sights (all special stocks or ortho-
pedic (fitted) stocks are forbidden). Rapid fire guns are forbidden.
2. Number of shots: 20 shots in 4 series of 5 shots.
3. Target: Figure (divided into zones) one meter 63 centimeters in height.
4. Initial position: Arm extended down toward the feet, the mouth of the weapon directed
towards the ground, the stock of the gun touching the thigh of the shooter.
5. Firing: Shooting commences at the command of "Feu." The use of two hands is for-
bidden. When the command is given, the target appears for three seconds, then disappears
for ten seconds, during which time one may reload. The shooting continues in this manner
until the end of the series. A stop is made after each serie to mark the shots.
All shots not fired during the appearance of the target will be counted, as misses.
The classification is made by the number of center shots. In case of a tie in center shots, the
valuation is based on the number of points. The value of the shot is determined by the side
of the point of impact. In case the tie persists, the result will be determined by the number
of center shots of the last series, then by the number of points in the same series. If the tie
still continues, the valuation is based on the next to the last series, and so on. In case of the
248 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

ties in center shots and in points the number of place is given which is determined by the
average of the places which the competitors having the same result, would have obtained if
there had been no tie. If, for example, three competitors have the same result, giving them
the right to the sixth place, they will get:

The competitor coming immediately after, will get the place equal to the number of com-
petitors who have obtained a better result, plus one, which would be, in the above case, the
9th place. In every other contingency, the special regulations of international matches hold
good.
II. Swimming (300 meter course, free style)
The special regulations of swimming are obeyed with this difference, that the competition
is divided into series without finals. The result will be determined only by the time. In case
of a tie of the same time, the same place is given (see Rapid Firing).
Ill. Fencing
The Sword Competition, in one hit, will take place in the Fencing Pavilion.
The rules of the Federation Internationale d'Escrime will be applied with the following
exception:
The fencers eliminated in any round, and having the same position in their respective pools,
for instance Nos. 6, 7, etc., will fence a barrage until they have been classified. The general
classification of the eliminated fencers is arrived at by placing the Nos. 6 of the various pools
before those having the No. 7, the numbers 7 before the Nos. 8 and so forth.
Example
60 Fencers
First Round; 6 Pools of 10 Fencers.—Those having the numbers 1 to 5 in each pool pass on
the next round. The numbers 6 in each pool fence together as well as the numbers 7, 8, 9 and
10, until a classification is obtained.
In the general classification, the Nos. 10 will have the Nos. 55-60, the Nos. 9, the Nos. 49-54,
etc.
In this way, 50% of the fencers are definitely classified.
Second Round: 3 Pools of 10 Fencers.—Nos. 1 to 5 of each pool are qualified for the final.
Nos. 6 to 10 fence together in the same manner as the same numbers of the first round.
After this barrage, they obtain successively the numbers 16 to 30 in the general classification.
IV. Cross Country (running)
1. Course: The course is laid over broken ground, the way being unknown to the com-
petitors and marked immediately before the trial with red and white ribbons. The start and
the finish will be in the stadium.
2. Starts: These will be individual and one minute apart.
The starting order of the nations will be determined by means of drawn lots. Each nation
will designate the starting order of its own competitors and will warn the Organizing Committee
of this order in advance. All the numbers 1 start successively, then all the numbers 2, etc.
Classification is made by time. In case of a tie in time, the same place is given.
For everything else, apply the special regulations of athletic sports.
V. Equitation
1. The starting order of the Nations is drawn by lot. Each nation will designate the
starting order of its own competitors, and will warn the Organizing Committee of this order
in advance.
All the numbers 1 shall start successively, then the numbers 2, etc.
2. Habits: For officers, undress uniform. For gentlemen, hunting costume,
3. Weight: 75 kilos. Saddlery free.
4. Horses: They will be supplied by the Organizing Committee and are provided with
English saddlery and drawn by lot. They may not be tried before the Cross. (15 minutes before
the start.)
5. Course: Will not be more than 5000 meters in length. The course will be shown not later
than the day before the Cross. The obstacles (natural and artificial) will be marked by fanions
between which the rider must pass. The obstacles will not be more in height than 1.10 meters
and in width than 3.50 meters.
6. Start: The starts will be individual and 5 minutes apart.
7. Speed: This will be 450 meters per minute. All exceeding the required time will be
penalized a half a point for each two seconds lost. During the Cross the rider may not receive
aid from anyone or wait to make a pump with another rider.
8. Points: Each competitor receives at the start 100 points from which may be subtracted
the following:
3 points for the first refusal halt, or breaking out.
6 points for the second refusal or breaking out.
50 points for the third refusal or breaking out, after which the rider, without having taken
the obstacle in question, and in spite of the rules below relative to errors on the course, has the
right to continue to the next obstacle.
5 points for the fall of the horse or of the horse and rider.
10 points for the fall of the rider alone.
The faults mentioned above—refusal, fall of the horse, fall of the rider—will not be counted
except within a limit of 25 meters on both sides of the obstacle marked with two fanions:
If the rider does not take the obstacles in the indicated order, or if he does not jump between
the two fanions, he must recommence his course at the place where the fault occurred. Other-
wise, he will be disqualified for having committed a mistake in course.
The rider who, after three refusals at the same obstacle, continues, without clearing it, to the
next obstacle, will not necessarily be disqualified.
In case of a tie in points, the result will be determined by the time.

REPORT OF MANAGER, ROWING TEAM


HENRY PENN BURKE
I have the honor to report that our rowing team won the
Olympic Regatta, having achieved two decisive victories, viz:
the Eight Oared and the Double Sculls; we also won two sec-
ond places and one third place in the total of seven rowing
events on the Olympic program.
No other nation won more than one first. England was
our closest competitor. A summary showing how the various
nations placed in the final result is given herewith:

There were TWENTY nations represented in the regatta
with a total of 67 enteries. This is more than twice the num-
ber in any previous Olympic Regatta in addition to which a
much higher standard was evident among the entrants as a
whole. The competition was therefore much harder and the
winners are entitled to corresponding credit.
Furthermore, the competition of the oarsmen was con-
tinued for a longer period than of that of any other Olympic
contestants—viz for 8 days—thereby subjecting them to the
most extreme nervous tension. This long continued competi-
tion was necessitated by the fact that the rowing course was
only 105 feet wide, or enough to accommodate only two crews
at a time, in addition to which a system was in effect which
re-admitted to competition crews which had been defeated
once. We have no complaint regarding this system but men-
tion it as a condition which had to be met and overcome; in-
cidentally this system was of no advantage to us but rather
the reverse.
As an illustration of the prolonged and strenuous com-
petition, I will cite what our Eight Oared crew had to ac-
complish to emerge victoriously.
Our Eight Oared Crew—The University of California—
Ky Ebright, Coach—defeated separately the champion Eight
Oared crews of Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Canada and Eng-
land—-five distinct races. A mistake in any one might have
been fatal. A race with all of these crews together in one con-
test such as the Intercollegiate Regatta at Poughkeepsie
would have meant just one fifth of the physical and mental
strain which this crew experienced in winning the champion-
ship of the world. The English Eight which we defeated in
NINTH OLYMPIAD 253

the final from the Thames Rowing Club—was the winner of


the Grand Challenge Cup at the recent Henley Regatta, was
the unquestioned champion Eight of Great Britian and con-
tained a number of individual rowing stars, notably Jack
Beresford, four times winner of the Diamond Sculls, Gollan,
notable single sculler, Guy Nickals, 2nd et-al.
Our Double Scull Crew—Penn A. C. Philadelphia—Cos-
tello, stroke and McIlvaine, bow—Frank Muller, coach—won
all of their races decisively; defeating Switzerland and Aus-
tria twice and in the final defeating Canada, represented by
Wright and Guest, the two best scullers in Canada, and young
Wright fresh from the English Henley Regatta in which he
won the famous Diamond Sculls. In winning this race, Paul
Costello has, I believe, made an Olympic record as this is the
third Olympic Regatta in which he has been a winner in the
Donble Sculls race.
Our Four Oared Crew without Coxswain—Pennsylvania
Barge Club, Philadelphia—Karle, stroke; Miller, 3; Healis, 2;
Bayer, bow—Samuel L. Hunter, coach, defeated Germany,
France and Italy and came within one yard of beating Eng-
land in the final. England had drawn a Bye in the semi-final.
This crew put forth a mighty effort to win. They gave all
they had—more than that no man can do.
Myers, our Single Sculler, from the Bachelors Barge Club
of Philadelphia gave a good account of himself throughout.
He defeated in succession the champion of S. Africa, England,
Switzerland and Holland. He was beaten in the final by
Pearce of Australia, a most extraordinary young man, whose
father and grand-father were rowing champions of the Anti-
podes. Pearce, by heritage, strength and skill and every other
qualification necessary for a great oarsman, far surpasses
anyone I have ever seen.
Our Pair without Coxswain—Pennsylvania Barge Club,
Philadelphia—McDowell, stroke, Schmitt, bow and Hunter,
coach—defeated Belgium, England and Italy; they were de-
feated by Germany, however, in the semi-final; the system of
re-admission after one defeat mentioned above, permitted Eng-
land to get into the final with Germany who won the race.
This German crew was an exceptionally good one. The sys-
tem of re-admission worked a hardship on us in this race as
254 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

we only placed third with England second, notwithstanding


we had beaten the English crew previously.
Our Four with Coxswain—Harvard University—Lawrence,
stroke; Hubbard 3; Mason, 2; Cushman, bow; Belisle, Cox-
swain and Edward Brown, coach, was defeated by four fifths
of a second after a very hard race in the first day of trials; in
re-admission, defeated Japan, and in the seconds trials was de-
feated by Switzerland who finished second in the final.
Our Pair without Coxswain—Penn. A. C, Philadelphia,
Dougherty, stroke; Goetz, bow and Mack, Coxswain—this
crew never placed, being defeated by Italy and France.
The Netherland Rowing Federation, which had charge of
the arrangements for the Regatta deserves the highest praise
and credit for the splendid and thorough manner in which they
provided every detail for the convenience and comfort for the
visiting oarsmen as well as the officials and representatives of
the press and the spectators. The races were rowed on a
canal at Sloten, a small village about six miles from the cen-
ter of Amsterdam. The course was absolutely straight; the
distance for all races was two thousand meters or 13 yards
less than a mile and a quarter. There was no current in the
canal and the prevailing wind was favorable to the oarsmen.
The arrangements were not only the best ever provided
for any previous Olympic Rowing but were more complete
and thorough in all respects than any we have ever had for
any regatta in America. We have only the highest praise for
our hosts in Rowing who have shown us a standard to emu-
late in the Olympic Regatta to be held in Los Angeles in 1932.
Our Rowing Team represented the very best type of
American manhood, all native born and with only a very few
exceptions their parents are native born Americans. Our Row-
ing Team averaged 23 1/3 years in age, 176 pounds in weight,
6 feet, ½ inch in height. This average is the ideal rowing man.
This is the first Olympic Regatta in which America has
been represented by a full Rowing Team and all the members
of our team join with me in expressing their thanks and ap-
preciation for this privilege and for the excellent arrangements
and accommodations provided for us on the S. S. President
Roosevelt and for the transportation of our men daily from the
ship to the rowing course and return.

REPORT OF MANAGER, EIGHT-OARED CREW


BLAKE H. WHARTON
Expressing the sentiments of the American Eight-Oared Crew—
the Univ. of California Varsity Crew of 1928.
There is no doubt in the mind of any member of this
division of the American Olympic Team but that the Ameri-
cans were by far the most favorably and efficiently equipped
and accommodated aggregation at the Ninth Olympiad.
Since we have returned many rumors have been heard to
the effect that incorrect food for training purposes was served
to the athletes. Let this rumor be silenced as it is entirely
without foundation. The food was perfectly satisfactory for
training purposes, each trainer being allowed to select his own
menu. If the ability of any athlete suffered because of incor-
rect diet, it was because he, personally had disregarded train-
ing regulations.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 257

Quartering aboard the Roosevelt while at Amsterdam


was the most satisfactory arrangement possible, considering
the crowded and noise-some conditions prevailing in the city.
On the other hand may we offer a few constructive sug-
gestions for the future?
Non-participating passengers should be, insofar as possible
placed in a position secondary to the participating members.
Various conditions affect the mental attitude of competitive
athletes. Their living accommodations, therefore should be
the best possible. When a particular group has become a
homogeneous body, they should be placed together. Thus in
dining and living together they are able to constructively
criticize each other and offer encouragement. Athletes first
in dining and rooming—passengers follow in importance.
Concerning any eight-oared crew specifically—-care of
physical condition is paramount. Therefore provision for the
crew's own trainer should be made. He knows the men—all
of their individual characteristics. A track trainer might
easily spoil a crew man. Without their own trainer the eight-
oar crew would have been seriously handicapped in the last
Olympiad—yet he was given passage only after great
difficulty.
In a college eight-oar crew it would always be wise to
take an assistant coach. If the regular coach should become
disabled, a college crew would not be able to coach itself as
would a crew of more experienced oarsmen.
These last two points are especially important in regard-
ing an eight-oar crew where co-ordination, the result of pro-
per conditioning and coaching is of greatest importance. In
the case of the California Crew no little credit should go to
assistant coach Russell Nagler, and trainer Charles Volz,
whose assistance to Coach Carroll Ebright in perfecting co-
ordination and condition was invaluable. Neither of these
positions were provided for in the Olympic Crew allotment,
and although the University of California was willing to care
for their passage, it was only after much difficulty that they
were placed, though it was apparent that many non-participat-
ing passengers were booked.
General Douglas MacArthur commands the admiration of
the whole crew for his just, and impartial executive ability.
258 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

His task was no small one. We, of the American eight-oared


crew, unite in extending a hearty welcome to our state to
those attending the Tenth Olympiad in 1932.

REPORT OF ROWING COACH


CARROLL M. EBRIGHT
I am glad to report that as far as the eight oar crew is
concerned, the trip of the American Olympic team to Amster-
dam was satisfactory. It was well arranged and efficiently
handled and the management of the team seemed to give con-
scientious effort to supplying our wants. Our accommoda-
tions aboard the Roosevelt were good enough although they
became tiresome.
The lay-out at Sloten was good and it was a nice place to
row. The regatta was well organized and progressed smooth-
ly though it was slightly drawn out. However, the most im-
portant thing is that the races were won and as conditions
were such that this was possible, we are happy.

REPORT OF ROWING COACH


FRANK J. MULLER
The elimination trials for rowing were held at Philadel-
phia on the Schuykill River July 5, 6, 7, 1928; there were
seven crews selected to represent America. These crews
were: single scull, double scull, pair-oared with coxswain,
pair-oared without coxswain, four oared shell without coxs-
wain, eight oared shell and the four oared with coxswain.
Of the seven races, America won two which were, Dou-
ble Scull and Eight-Oared Shell and were also second in the
Single and Four-Oared Shell without coxswain. The pair
with coxswain and the four with coxswain were eliminated
and did not score any points for America.
The double that represented America and won the
Championship were: Chas. McIlvaine, Bow, Paul Costello,
Stroke, representing the Penn A. C. and both from Philadel-
phia, Pa. Costello also rowed in the 1920 Olympiad in Belgium
with John B. Kelly and also in 1924 Olympiad in France with
John B. Kelly. Paul Costello is the only American oarsman
who has rowed and won in three Olympic races, 1920, 1924,
1928. He was coached by me in all his Olympic races.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 259

The rowing arrangements at Amsterdam were the best


of all the Olympics that I have attended, which were Belgium
1920, France 1924. Everything was carefully arranged and
the rowing committee of Holland should be highly congratu-
lated for their very fine work.
There has been some talk of the American athletes being
underfed, which frankly is absurd, as every one on the Ameri-
can Team had plenty to eat.
It seems to me that some people think that America
should win all the Olympic events and if they don't, then
some nice person comes along with some nasty criticisms,
who does not know the first thing in regard to training an
athlete.

REPORT OF ROWING COACH


SAMUEL L. HUNTER
As Coach (Amateur) of the Pair-oared shell without cox-
swain and of the Four-oared shell without coxswain, which
represented the United States in the Ninth Olympiad at Am-
sterdam, 1928, I submit the following report as to the training,
competition and the results of competition of the two above
mentioned crews.
The quarters and training facilities aboard the "President
Roosevelt" were excellent. Every assistance was given to en-
able the men to keep in condition during the trip to Amster-
dam.
At the Games, due to the Rowing course being located at
Sloten (a small village on the outskirts of Amsterdam), it was
necessary to transport the men from and to the ship each day.
Of the gentlemen in charge of this transportation I can only
have praise, I would like to express through you my thanks
and appreciation of the courtesies shown by them.
The Dutch arrangements for Rowing were the finest I
have ever seen; the officials in charge showed us every con-
sideration.
On August 2, 1928, the first day of the Regatta, the Pair-
oar defeated Belgium rather easily. On August 6th they de-
feated England after a hard race. In the semi-final on August
8th they were defeated by Germany, who eventually won the
260 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

Pair-oar championship. Since England defeated Italy this


same day, the Pair had to row Italy for third place on August
10th. This race they won. (An interesting feature arose—
the crew which got second place was defeated by the crew
which got third place.)
The Four-oared shell on August 3rd defeated Germany.
On August 6th they were to have rowed France, but due to
the illness of one of the French crew, France withdrew.
America was then (about a half hour before the race) given
the privilege of rowing over the course alone and winning
from France by default or of racing Italy, who had drawn a
"bye". As, however, under the repechage system used in the
Regatta, a crew had to be beaten twice to be eliminated, de-
feating Italy would have served no purpose; we chose the
"row-over." On August 8th the Four-oar rowed Italy and
won, while England drew a "bye." On August 10th the Four-
oar was defeated in the finals by England by one second, after
a very hard race. (I have made no mention as to time, etc.,
because conditions, especially as to wind, on the Sloten course
changed very suddenly and rapidly.)
While neither crew won, I feel that both made a very
creditable showing of American rowing and sportsmanship
while representing America in Holland.
In my opinion, the Rowing races lasted for too long a
period. Rowing takes too great a toll in both physical and
nervous energy to be prolonged over any great stretch of time.
For this reason, no Regatta should last over three days; also
"byes" should be prohibited.
I wish to take this opportunity of expressing the thanks
of my crews and myself to Mr. Henry Penn Burke, Manager
of Rowing, for the earnest and efficient manner in which he
handled our interests. Mr. Burke did not spare himself in any
way, and his efforts on behalf of the rowing men were untir-
ing. What we did accomplish, I feel should be in no small
measure attributed to him.
I have also to thank the American Olympic Committee
for their hearty support and cooperation, both direct and
through our Manager, Mr. Burke.

RULES GOVERNING ROWING COMPETITION


DEFINITION OF AMATEUR OF THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF
ROWING SOCIETIES
An amateur is he who because of taste and for distraction participates in rowing without
receiving any pecuniary profit whatsoever from it, either directly or indirectly and who is a
recognized amateur by the Federation of his country.
In consequence, those are absolutely not recognized as amateur rowers who are or have been:
1. Professional rowers, seamen (with the exception of officers, student officers, employees
of the Navy Department, recognized as officers by their Federation), boatmen, ferrymen, state
fishermen, dock-watchmen, salaried teachers of rowing, constructors and artisans of boats,
and rowers who compete or have competed for prizes. An instructor paid especially to teach
rowing, jointly with and over and above scholastic instructions, to his pupils does not lose the
standing of amateur.
2. Rowers who have taken part in an open race with the persons mentioned in the above
paragraph.
3. And anyone who is a professional in another sport.
And besides, all rowers are considered amateurs who outside of their travelling expenses
resulting from their participation in regattas are provided for their daily needs through the
proper channels. In this regard, the President of the Federation under whose standard the
rower has entered in International regattas is personally responsible for this entry.
Trainers, monitors, instructors, or coaches teaching the sports for gain or for any pecuniary
profit direct or indirect, may not compete, or be judges, members of a committee or of a jury.

Article II
DEFINITION OF AMATEUR
(See Definition Above)
Article III
The coxswain and the rower at the bow of each team (bowman) shall carry on their backs
the number corresponding to that given them in the programme.
Article IV
The organizing Committee of the Regatta (Art. 12 of the General Regulations) shall appoint
the Umpire. His function may include that of starter or of Course Judge. The Umpire alone
shall judge whether or not a boat stays in its own course, if a boat should be taken out of the
race for breaking a rule, if a race should or should not be recommenced in case of abnormal
conditions. In the case where the Umpire considers it necessary to confer the function of
Starter to another person, the latter shall always be under the direction and control of the
former.
Article V
The Umpire judges the regularity of the course of the boats. He may warn rowers on the
point of committing an error of a nature such as might injure a competitor or cause an accident.
In the exercise of their functions, the Jury or the Umpire may take disciplinary measures
which they think just towards teams who break the rules or who refuse obedience or deference
to instructions given them. Disciplinary measures may consist of the following: in being
taken out of the race for infractions of the rules or for not following the orders of the Jury, and,
for grave cases, disqualification, and consequently, temporary or definite exclusion of the team
(or of the Nation to which the team belongs).
The decisions of the Umpire or of the Jury are without appeal concerning the events of the
race.
Appeals may only be made against decisions contradicting stipulations of the International
Code; these appeals shall be judged by the Central Committee of the F. I. S. A.
Article VI
Competitors must be at their places before the hour of starting fixed by the program. The
starting signal shall be given without waiting for late arrivals.
After being assured that the teams are ready by the question "Are you ready?" the starter
orders the start by the command "Go!", at the same time lowering his flag.
If the starter thinks the start irregular, he may, within twenty seconds following the start,
call the boats back to their starting point.
All stops in the race, either by the Umpire or by the Starter, is made by waving the flag and
ringing a bell.
The Umpire has a white flag, and the starter a red one.
Number one is always beside the Jury stand.
Article VII
During the race the boats must stay in their own respective courses; they must not cut the
route of competing boats to inconvenience them or to hinder them from following their own
route.
The boat that goes out of its course does so at its own risk and peril.
The route or course of a boat consists of the most direct line to be run by the whole group,
taking into consideration the course of each boat, allotted to that boat and occupied at the start,
and the place which it must leave free for the other boats.
Article VIII
The competitors may not, in any fashion, let themselves be followed during the race, by
- other boats in order to receive council or encouragement. The Umpire may take out of the race
any team, any member of which conducts himself in an improper manner.
Article IX
In case of a disagreement on the interpretation of the text, the French text alone is authori-
tative.
TIME TABLE
The first day, if the number of competitors in the race is even, all will start. If the number
is uneven there will be a bye.
The second day, all the losers of the first day will start.
The third day, all the winners of the first day, the bye of the first day, and all the winners of
the second day will start.
The fourth day, all those who have only lost once will start whereas those who have lost
twice or only once in a race for reclassment are definitely eliminated. After the third day no
races for reclassment will be held.
The fifth day, the winner of the third and fourth days will start.
The sixth day, the winners of the fifth day will start.

REPORT OF MANAGER, SOCCER TEAM
ELMER A. SCHROEDER
I beg to submit to you the report of the Manager of the
United States Olympic Soccer Team:
Prior to the departure for Europe, the United States
Olympic Soccer Team was assembled in the Prince George
Hotel, New York City, on May 9th. On the evening of the
same day, the American Olympic Committee tendered a fare-
well banquet to the team and its officials. The team sailed
from New York on May 10th aboard the S. S. De Grasse and
after a calm pleasant voyage and adherence to a definite sche-
dule of training, arrived at Havre, France on May 19th. The
team travelled immediately by rail to Paris and was quartered
in the Hotel Terminus. The afternoon of the 19th was taken
for sightseeing by bus. The players saw Paris from the Eifel
Tower, and in the evening the team attended the theatre. On
Sunday, May 20th, players of Catholic faith attended Mass in
the world famed Cathedral, Notre Dame. The delegation
proceeded to Amsterdam at noon of the same day on the
"North Star Limited" passed through the northern part of
France, crossed Belgium through the district of the famous
battlefield of the World War, and arrived at the Hotel de
Haas, Amsterdam, in the early evening of the 19th. At Ant-
werp, Belgium, the team was met by Mr. Hoover, American
attache and son of the American Consul General in Amster-
dam. Mr. Hoover accompanied the team to Amsterdam and
on a number of occasions thereafter.
In Amsterdam, the field and other facilities of the Ajax
Club, were placed at the disposal of the American delegation.
Daily morning practices were held there in preparation for the
game with Argentine, and a schedule of training was religious-
ly adhered to by all players.
272 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

On May 21st, the team was the guests of the Carre Thea-
tre, where the players were given seats of honor draped with
the flags of United States and Holland. As a further courtesy,
the American National Anthem was played immediately after
the team arrived in the theatre.
On May 23rd, a trip was made by automobile to Marken
and Vollendam, two old fishing villages about twenty miles
from Amsterdam, where the quaint and picturesque old Dutch
costumes are still worn, including the wooden shoes.
On May 24th, the team played its first practice game
against one of Holland's best combinations, the Ajax Club,
the game ending by the score 1 goal to 1.
The famous diamond factory of Amsterdam was visited
in the afternoon of the 25th, and in the evening, at the request
of the Dutch hosts, a baseball game was played with the Ajax
Club which resulted in the score 29 to 4 in favor of the Ameri-
cans. The game was well attended and accompanied by much
enthusiasm.
The second practice game was played with the Ajax Club
on May 26th, and the result was 6 goals to 6.
On Sunday the 27th, the players attended Church, those
of Protestant faith, attending an old famous English-Ameri-
can Church which is interesting historically.
The Olympic Game with Argentine was played in the
New Stadium on the evening of May 29th, at seven o'clock,
before an audience of possibly 15,000. The American team,
led by the Captain, Robert Aitkens, entered the field amid an
enthusiastic and welcome ovation. The team wore white
jersies bearing the American colors and the American Olym-
pic emblem, white pants, and red, white and blue stockings.
The team appeared before the officials' section, gave the Ameri-
can Olympic call, exchanged greetings with the opponents, and
took positions for the game. Argentine scored first after four-
teen minutes of play, and again ten minutes later. It was at
this point, that Cooper, the American goal keeper, was injured
and suffered a slight concussion of the brain. He was re-
vived and only spirit and courage enabled him to continue in
a dazed condition. Half time score stood 4 to 0 in favor of
Argentine, and the final score 11 to 2.
It was unfortunate that the American team was drawn to
play Argentine in the first round. The Argentine team had
NINTH OLYMPIAD 273

recently defeated Uruguay for the South American Champion-


ship, had traveled for a long period in Europe, playing games
prior to the Olympiad, and consisted of an almost perfect
combination, believed to be professional, but of which each
man was a finished artist. The team possessed the finest for-
ward line of the Olympic teams, a defense slightly less effec-
tive than that of Uruguay but in the writer's opinion, despite
tive than that of Uruguay but in the writer's opinion, despite
Olympic tournament. It can be stated candidly that Ameri-
ca could have produced no combination, amateur or profes-
sional that could have carried the colors into the second
round with Argentine as an opponent in the first.
Had the American team been fortunate enough to have
drawn any one of the aspirants with the exception of Uru-
guay, Argentine or Germany, there would have been a happier
story to relate. Of these, America could have defeated one-
half, and of the other, the results would have been very close
and the winner questionable. The score 11 to 2 affords a wide
margin, but it should not be forgotten that in other games the
scores stood 7-1, 11-3, 6-0, and the like, and that America
was but one of ten teams which were eliminated before the
opening of the second round.
The American players lost gracefully and as true sports-
men. The players fought consistently for the full time of the
game and despite their realization in the closing minutes that
defeat by a large score was inevitable, they continued to give
their very best efforts and to play in a manner which was an
honor to the country they were chosen to represent. It took
courage and no man fell short. If ever my heart and sym-
pathies went out to another, it was then—to a team which
gave its best to its Country's cause for world good will—to a
team which fought so honorably but which was beaten by
superior ability and longer experience—to a team which was
conscious of the disappointment back home—to a team which
feared unjust criticism from those at home, who would not
understand because they cared not to understand. The daily
question was: "Will we be received as friendly, as willingly,
as sympathetically at home after defeat as we are now re-
ceived in Holland?" That is a question for America to decide,
but Europe has decided that America should be proud of its
team.
274 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

Immediately following the game, the American players


attended a reception given by the Netherlands Football As-
sociation in the "Y" Pavilion. On the 31st, a trip was taken
by automobile to Zandvort, a seaside resort, and to numerous
places outside of Amsterdam.
On June 1st, the Holland Olympic team defeated the
American team 3 goals to 2, in a game in which the play was
equal. The team officially visited the American Consul on
June 3rd, and left Amsterdam by rail on June 5th, for Bremen.
On arrival in Bremen, the team was greeted by the
American Vice Consul, Mr. Black, and a German delegation
who presented the manager with a bouquet of flowers, a mark
of German courtesy and friendliness. After being quartered
in the Park Hotel, places of historical interest were visited,
and an elaborate dinner was served in the Rathskeller of the
famous old Rathshous of Bremen. Silver pencils were pre-
sented to the players by the North German Lloyd. On the
morning and afternoon of the 6th, the team went sightseeing
by automobile, and visited the Kaffe Hag, and Goldina Cho-
colate factories. The game in Bremen with the Werder Club
was scheduled at 7 o'clock. After an effective ceremony, dur-
ing which the Manager was presented with a banner of the
Werder Club, the teams gave their calls and marched around
the field behind the American colors which received a great
ovation. The game was won by the American team 3 goals
to 2, and was followed by a banquet in Jacobie Hall, which
was attended by the Vice Consul and the President of the
Bremen Senate.
On June 7th, the team flew by aeroplane to Hamburg, a
distance of approximately ninety miles, in forty-two minutes,
and arrived in Hamburg safely where the delegation was cordi-
ally received. The team was quartered in the Kaiserhof Hotel
and on arrival the players were greeted by thirty or more
boys, members of a junior team, dressed in soccer suits, who
stood rigidly at attention and formed a lane of honor in front
of the hotel entrance through which the American delegation
passed. On the 10th, the team was received by the American
Consul and again the program consisted of sightseeing and
elaborate dinners. The American team lost to Altona 4 to 3,
in a game in which the majority of play was credited to the
visitors. Following the game, a remarkable banquet was
NINTH OLYMPIAD 275

given to the United States Team, and the manager was pre-
sented with the banner of the Altona Club.
The team left Hamburg on the 10th, went to Berlin, and
there boarded the Transcontinental Express for Warsaw. On
June 11th, the team was greeted in Warsaw by the officials of
the Polish Football Association and members of the Military
Staff of the President of the Republic. The team was escorted
to the Bristol Hotel, had dinner, and at five o'clock played the
Polish National team a 3-3 game which was attended by the
President and members of his official staff. The American
team, following the American colors, appeared before the
President's Box, saluted and gave the Olympic call followed
by "Niech Zyje Polask!" (Long live Poland). The thousands
of Polish spectators cheered wildly, and the manager of the
American team was presented with a silver cup by the Vice-
President of the Polish Football Association, the leading law-
yer of Poland. It may be added that the President of the As-
sociation is a general in the Polish Army. The President of
Poland, Prof. Dr. Mosciski then requested that the Manager
and Captain of the American team be presented to him, which
was done, and the honor and pleasure were theirs to engage
in a short conversation and exchange of greetings with him.
Newspaper reports of a riot or exhibition of hostility to the
referee in this game are unfounded. The game turned from a
victory into a draw in the last half minute of play, when a
penalty was called against the American team which was
scored. The team was honored by a banquet in the evening.
Two games were lost 6-0 and 7-0 in Lodz on the 12th and in
Poznan on the 13th. These defeats to inferior clubs can be at-
tributed to the fact that the team was tired and sustained in-
juries in Warsaw. The schedule was burdensome in Poland,
but the only condition under which the team could travel to
Poland was that three games be played there. Banners were
again presented ceremoniously in Lodz and Poznan. The
team was quartered in the Grand Hotel in Lodz and in the
Continental Hotel in Poznan.
After leaving Poznan on the 13th, the team arrived in
London via the Hook of Holland on the 14th, and were
quartered in the Victoria Hotel. Four players. proceeded to
Scotland and the remainder enjoyed the many interesting
sights of London. The team sailed for the United States
276 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

from Southampton on Board the S, S. America on June 17th,


stopped for a short period at Cobh, Ireland, and after a stormy
trip arrived in New York on June 26th. Enroute to America,
the ship was circled by the trans-atlantic plane "Friendship"
which 'endeavored to drop messages on board. On arrival in
New York, the team was greeted by President Brown, Secre-
tary Cahill and Asst. Secretary Sansom. The players im-
mediately left for their homes.
By those who look upon the sport from a strictly competi-
tive standpoint the Olympic mission may be termed a failure,
for at first blush 11 to 2 appears to be an humiliating score.
For these, the writer holds a deep sympathy for their short
vision. But those who know the whole truth, who appreciate
that an Olympic mission is a mission of good will to foreign
neighbors, who place above victory or defeat, the significance
of creating a favorable, friendly and sportsmanlike impression,
the American Olympic team was an unusual success. The
sixteen players who composed the American contingent re-
turned home better than they went. They returned with
a greater sympathy for foreign people and their customs, with
a broader vision of the world, enriched educationally by travel
and helped tremendously by association with foreign people of
culture, who are courteous, polite and sympathetic. The
American players were truly ambassadors of good will for
they left behind them a better understanding of American
sportsmanship. These sixteen crusaders were loyal, clean liv-
ing, earnest and gave all they had to the purpose for which
they were sent. There was no single instance of discredit, no
misbehavior, not a word of discontent or discord. A finer
group of men could not have been chosen to represent Ameri-
ca, and America should be proud of them. What more could
any one ask?
Dr. Manning well expressed the purpose of sending the
American team abroad at the meeting of the Federation In-
ternationale de Football Congress, when in substance he re-
marked, that although America fully realized that the team
was young, comparatively inexperienced and stood no chance
to win an Olympic Championship, nevertheless America
chose to bear the burden of expense of sending a team, to show
American good will and to support the Olympic movement,
and that America chose to lose, rather than to sacrifice her
NINTH OLYMPIAD 277

honor in not conforming strictly to the amateur regulation


imposed upon the contestants. Dr. Manning's address was
received most favorably by the Congress, created a deep last-
ing impression, and was repeated by football men, who appre-
ciated its significance in every city which the American team
visited.
It is recommended that the advisability of sending
twenty-two players to Olympic Games to facilitate training,
to permit exhibition games to be played frequently and to
guard against weakening the team by injuries, be considered
in the future by the Olympic Committee. It is recommended
that lighter weight shoes be provided for the players since
those provided for in the present equipment were unusually
heavy and were a handicap.

Art. 11. The fact of a player being dealer in sporting-articles, does not make him a pro-
fessional.
Before being allowed to play in matches such a player ought to be in possession of an authori-
zation from his National Association. This authorization may only be given when the National
Association is convinced that the rules on amateurism have been observed.
Art. 12. It is strictly prohibited to an amateur to advertise or to authorize advertisement
by means of his name or by his qualities as a football-player.
Art. 13. It is prohibited to an amateur to authorize a commercial firm to advertise by means
of his photo.
13a. A professional cannot be reinstated by his National Association as an amateur within
a period of one year after the date he has requested to be recognized as an amateur and after
having proved that he gives up his status of professional.
A player who has become twice a professional cannot be reinstated as an amateur.
RULES ON THE ALLOWANCE OF COMPENSATION FOR BROKEN TIME
(See the "Official Communications" of the Federation Internationale de Football Association"
4th Year No. 29, September 16th, 1927)
Art. 4. (Regulations) says:
It is not allowed to pay compensation for broken time excepted in some well circumscribed
cases to be fixed by each National Association.
However full compensation for broken time shall never be reimbursed and it shall not be given
in such a way that the player will be tempted to put sport before his work.
The regulations of National Associations concerning this matter shall be previously ap-
proved by the Executive Committee, who will take account, in fixing the number of days for
which the compensation may be given, the idea mentioned here above and the geographical
conditions of each country.
The National Associations are at liberty to allow the above mentioned limited compensation
for broken time or not.
The Executive Committee decided to be prepared to consider the regulations of the National
Associations on this subject if the following rules were observed:
1. The demands must be made to the National Associations by the players personally and
be accompanied by all the necessary proofs and documents.
2. The National Associations must keep records of the full names and residences of the
players allowed to receive partial compensation for broken-time, the amounts which they have
received and on which dates. These records must be put at the disposal of the Executive
Committee at once after its request.
3. Maximum indemnity. Unmarried players supporting their family and married players
shall receive 90 per cent of their wages at the maximum; the limit for unmarried players Is
fixed at 75 per cent of their wages.
4. The indemnity may be given exceptionally for playing International Matches and final
competitions for a National championship or a National trophy (for instance final and semi-
finals of National cup competitions).
The Executive Committee will decide In each case, what is to be considered as the final
competition of a National championship or a National trophy.
Excluded will be International interclub matches and district league championships.
5. Maximum number of days: The Executive Committee will fix for each country the
maximum number of days, which shall not exceed 20 days in each year.
(When oversea associations, who are permitted to allow limited compensation for loss of
salary send a team to the Olympic Games, 1928, at Amsterdam the number of days of the
duration of the voyage to and from Europe may be added to the allowed number of days).
6. The indemnity must be paid directly to the employer.

ment on the interpretation of those laws the English text will prevail.
Entries and Quality of the Players
Section 3
Each nation Invited by the Organizing Committee can enter only one team. The National
entry form must be received by the Organizing Committee by April 15th, 1928. Each nation

Official Delegate
Section 4
Each country has to state the name and title of its official delegate. That delegate will alone
be qualified to represent his country, and must have full powers by his Olympic Committee.
System of The Tournament
Section 5
The tournament will take place In eliminating rounds; the opposition In matches will be
obtained by the drawing of lots. The system of this drawing of lots will be fixed by the F. I.
F. A.
The winners of the first eliminating round will be opposed to one another by the same prin-
ciple, also by the drawing of lots and so forth. The team, winning the last match by the succes-
sive elimination of the other competitors, will be given the first place, the losing team in the
final having the second place. An additional match will oppose the losers of the two semi-finals,
the winner being placed third.
If the number of competitors happens to be 8, 16 or 32, there will be no exemption to the
first eliminating round. If there must be exemptions, these will be drawn by lots. Their number
will be such that, added to that of the winners of the first eliminating round, a total of 8, 16 or
32 competitors is obtained for the second eliminating round. The Delegates of the Nations
partlclpating s as mentioned In section 4, will be called to witness each drawing of lots.
Duration of Matches and Matches to be Replayed
Section 6
Each match will last 90 minutes (two half times of 45 minutes), with a rest as provided for by
the rules of the game.
Section 7
In case of a draw at the end of the full time, the game will be prolonged by 30 minutes, with
a 5 minutes rest at half time, that is after 15 minutes of play.
If this extension has not brought about the desired result of splitting the teams, then the
match will have to be replayed at a later date fixed by the F. I. F, A. If this second match
gives no result after the full time, it will also be prolonged by 30 minutes. In case the tie
should persist after this second extended match, the F. I. F. A. will decide eventually for a third
match if the calendar permits it. In case of a material impossibility, the F. I. F. A. may resort
to the drawing of lots to decide which team will be considered qualified for the next eliminating
round.
Calendar of Matches and Grounds
Section 8
The sequence and the dates of matches will be determined by the P. I. F. A., having the right
to bring about any alteration it sees fit in the interest of the tournament, until the last moment.

284 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

REPORT OF MANAGER, SWIMMING TEAM


JOHN T. TAYLOR
American swimmers, both men and women, retained
Olympic Championships by decisive margins and fully lived
up to the high standards established by their predecessors.
Ten of the fifteen swimming and diving events at the Ninth
Olympiad in Amsterdam were won by the United States.
The 1928 team was the strongest that has ever represented
America and accounted for no less than six new records. It
was selected entirely from the final tryouts—the fairest meth-
od possible and the most free from criticism—and contained
every out-standing performer in the country. I recommend
the continuation of this means of selection for future Olympic
teams.
Living quarters on the S. S. President Roosevelt were
ideal and the food throughout was of the very best. Members
of the team are loud in their praise of conditions. Transpor-
tation for practice was also of high order. I might state that
arrangements in general were decidedly superior to Paris in
1924.
All members of the swimming team conducted them-
selves at all times and places as representative American men
and women and no complaints have been brought to my
attention.
My chief constructive criticism for the future is that the
practice pool should be chosen at least six months in advance
by an experienced swimming official who understands exactly
what is needed for swimmers and divers. This same sugges-
tion was made by me in 1924 but apparently passed unnoticed
as no swimming authorities were consulted about arrange-
ments at Amsterdam with the result that two practice pools
were provided that were totally unfitted. It was necessary
for Miss O'Mara, Mr. Reilly and myself to spend two entire
days in locating a satisfactory place. The only desirable pool
was at Haarlem, a distance of sixteen miles, which required
too much travel each day. This same condition prevailed at
Paris in 1924 and immediate steps should be taken to guard
against recurrence.
In water polo America had the misfortune to draw Hun-
gary, which had won the European championship, for our
first match and we were defeated decisively. Two outstanding
NINTH OLYMPIAD 285

faults are evident in American water polo; first, there is very


little competition in this country and secondly our National
Championships and Olympic Tryouts are held in small, in-
door pools. Consequently our players are handicapped when
placed in a large outdoor pool. Unless leading athletic clubs
foster out-door water polo and provide more competition, it
would be useless for us to enter another water polo team in
the Olympics.
Swimmers throughout the world have shown great im-
provement and from now on we will face even closer competi-
tion. It is gratifying to note that those who furnished our
chief opposition at Amsterdam had received the benefits of
American coaching and competition.
I desire to commend publicly Coaches Bachrach, McGil-
livray, Kiphuth and Brandsten for their efficient and untiring
services, also Assistant Managers Dr. M. F. D'Eliscu and
Miss Doris O'Mara and the chaperones, Mrs. Alice Lord Lan-
don and Mrs. Ada Taylor Sackett.
The splendid cooperation of your committee was of great
assistance to the swimming team for which I express thanks
on behalf of the entire squad, especially to President Mac
Arthur whose interest, advice and presence at competition
and practice helped to maintain the high morale that stands
out as one of the bright features of our 1928 swimming team.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT MANAGER, SWIMMING TEAM


DR. FRANCOIS D'ELISCU
The success and experience gained from the recent Olym-
pic trip to Amsterdam, Holland, has convinced educators in-
terested in the progressive development of athletics, to many
important changes, results and observations noticed for future
teachings.
The tremendous organization necessary to move any
army from one place to another, and the success of the plans
being completed, does not depend alone on those heads guid-
ing and directing, as much as the individuals who are expected
to do the actual work. This evident result was clearly shown
on board the athletic ship. In many instances there was an
abundance of super-organization that sent those suborinates
286 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

under orders to many directions, causing a great deal of per-


sonal discomfort. This no doubt was understood and ex-
cusable. There were so many heads expected to do some-
thing, in order to maintain the dignity and position allotted or
voted or given to them, by the organizing body, that it had to
be done. It was also in keeping necessary to give orders,
whether it was right or not. To those accustomed to routine,
office organization, business methods, and gentlemanly treat-
ment, one cannot help but personally appreciate the fortunate
position we held as subordinates, having as its head, one of
the finest, best cultured, fair and world famous men, in our
own great athlete and leader, Major General Douglas Mac
Arthur. He alone, can be set aside, as an inspiration for other
athletes to follow. Just sit with him as a spectator! Quiet
and reserved; firm and forceful, friendly and sympathetic, and
a born leader! Major William C. Rose, proved a wonderful
assistant and the man who in his "iron mask" accomplished
the great bulk of work that many attempted, tried, gave up
and could not understand. He had a definite organization, as
Mr. Rubien had. These two men produced and there were no
titles or speeches necessary. It was order and then action!
Many attempted title holders, tried but failed. This however,
is to be expected with such a tremendous problem, to fulfill
daily for the press and the public. Then folks back home
were interested in their own athletes and their doings, and
not, the official visits to other countries or petty misunderstand-
ings, that made it very embarrassing to men and women who
made the trip to serve and work. But this too, is to be ex-
pected as routine becomes monotonous to those disinterested.
Ambition has caused many a man to be misunderstood, criti-
cized, and crucified, yet at times, this evident ambition for
publicity and notoriety has been found to be both cheap and
uncalled for, where men are more educated, ideals higher,
environment finer, than that class of individuals whose limita-
tions are evident. However, this must also be overlooked as
it was only a mixed group in charge of athletes.
The many evident weaknesses in the super-organization
calls for suggestive changes that can be considered, if they
will, for the next Games. Although these suggestions are
only from one individual, yet it is only fair to say, that practi-
cal experience makes this possible. Too many teachers and
NINTH OLYMPIAD 287

not enough pupils in the school would make an overbalanced


system. However, the organization of the swimming team,
that actually functioned, was ideal and perfect. With Mr.
William Bachrach, one of the greatest coaches living to-day,
and supposedly the head man, together with his assistants, the
program as outlined was definite, accurate and good. A man
of his experiences, practical business ability, and keen knowl-
edge of swimming, was far more capable of controlling and
directing meetings, suggesting officials, or at least his counsel
asked, and attending to details necessary for both athlete and
manager. This would have been more practical from every
viewpoint rather than individuals that had no identification
with swimming but assumed the position, authority, title
which made it both embarrassing for coaches and managers.
Again, this may be overlooked as ambition and over anxiety
to be seen, makes some men very forgetful.
Mr. Robert Kiphuth of Yale University, who coached the
women swimmers, was not only effective, efficient but very
capable in his handling of the women swimmers. He had the
full respect of all swimmers and officials. A leader with per-
sonality, ability and whose sole interest was to make a good
showing at the Games. Always in the background and not
interested in himself. Mr. Kiphuth, personified in my estima-
tion the finer things that makes sports and athletics as it is
to-day. A gentleman with everybody, a good coach, a real
American and one, whose extensive travels around the world
has made him the outstanding educator both in physical edu-
cation and his hobby, swimming. The committee is to be com-
mended in securing the volunteer services of so good a man
who was responsible for such a wonderful showing of the
girl's team. Every member of the American Olympic Swim-
ming Team, including coaches, managers and chaperones felt
the same way. He is an inspiration to youth and Yale Uni-
versity is fortunate in having such a capable educator guide
the athletic program of its students.
The two coaches did remarkably well considering the
facilities and difficulties that awaited them in arriving in Am-
sterdam. At this point it might be seriously emphasized that
each nation, have their pools both for swimming and diving,
READY months before the expected contests and an organ-
ization arranged to permit all the visiting teams to use the
288 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

same both for practice and time trials. This is very important
and serious. The time wasted, the money expended, patience
and long unnecessary riding and transportation, irregularity
of meals, due to this makeshift program; lack of interest, etc.
all tend to spoil the morale and make the work seem drudgery
and disheartening. The writer has had the personal experi-
ence of supervising under orders, all these changes and it
would be best that these changes be considered, if practical.
It might be said at this time that the clothing of the swim-
mers were perfect and practical. From a physician's viewpoint
everything was done for the safety, care and physical super-
vision of every athlete. At times, where extra clothing, suits,
food or other necessities were needed, the good congenial
Major Rose or reliable Rubien's counsel was sought, and in
every instance, both men showed a keen sympathetic interest
in helping and assisting with the definite problem. Both men
were real organizers and effective workers.
The treatment of the athlete could not have been better.
The sleeping accommodations, the cabins, and the general
comfort o'f the swimming team was the best. It can be
honestly said that no criticism can be made of the accommo-
dations as the committee were very considerate. They were
more than satisfactory.
The question of food and a training table would have
been more advisable, but not with mixed groups, of athletes
and non-athletes. This suggests another thought, for the
future. Experience has found that the mixing of two or more
organizations, inside of one, entirely different in makeup,
viewpoint, purpose, or interest, tends towards a general mis-
understanding, disorganization, and the loss of individual
team morale. This was true of this trip. It would be better
to have each organization function by itself, away from other
teams, and hold a certain man responsible for his organization
to the super man, in charge. For example, when we arrived in
Amsterdam, and were shocked at the place selected for us to
practice, and when a suitable place was finally found, it would
have been better to have moved the entire team to that place
and live there. Surely it would have been more practical
from every angle. There would have been better organiza-
tion, more work, less travel, and less interference and more
accomplished. Supervision would have been more practical
NINTH OLYMPIAD 289

and away from other interests and other sports, there would
have been less opportunity for things other than swimming
and diving. Mental diversion plus a keener interest in the
work and winning would have been seen. Better morale of
officials as well. Because of participating in Olympic Games
does not signify that we must live different lives. This was
very hard for the girls. Many so called chaperones and offi-
cials took trips for changes, which was fortunate, as a boat
does become monotonous at times. There is no doubt but
that the morale of the group would have been higher. This
was shown with the California crew. It is not supposition,
it is a reality proven !
Never in the history of athletics have a finer group of
men and women ever been selected as this special team that
represented the finest and best in the United States. It can
only be said by the writer who had the extreme honor and
privilege to be on the starting line and take care of the per-
sonal wants of each swimmer and watch their positions; that
the comments of distinguished people, athletes and officials,
were so pleasant and inspiring, that it made one proud not
only to be an American but happy to be with such a team.
Every swimmer was considered a gentleman or a perfect
lady, respectively. They all won a place in the hearts' of offi-
cials and spectators, and it is sincerely hoped that some day
when they return to these United States, that we can demon-
strate, prove and express, the same appreciation as they have
manifested throughout our entire meetings.
It is furthermore hoped that a very careful group of dis-
interested men and women, who have no personal gain or ax
to grind personally; no desire for spreading publicity, be
selected to act as representative Americans when the time
comes for selection. Let us agree that the next team will be
free from petty politics. At times it seems almost impossible,
in these days of commercial athletics, but there are many,
many nations, and personages, that still carry on the honest,
real and approved amateur ideals, with the inner hope of
giving to the younger generation, an opportunity for self ex-
pression, honest endeavor and determination for a better phy-
sical goal.
The Olympic Games are not only contests, but provides
all those identified with the stupendous sports program of a
290 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

further opportunity for study and education. The experi-


ences and friendships formed can only be secured through
travel and hard work. The greatest reaction of the Games, in
reality, is the unique and interesting attitude, the Games have
internationally. The writer visited the Orient and just re-
turned with four prominent swimmers. Our reception, treat-
ment, hospitality, courtesies, were that of diplomats. Wher-
ever we appeared in competition or exhibition, thousands of
appreciative men and women with cheering children, unable
to speak our language yet capable of expressing their feelings,
interest and appreciation in the waving of the American flag.
The athlete to-day is the real international diplomat. The ath-
letes to-day should be the real inspiration for the youth of
America!
"Come experience, show me the way,
Teach me righteousness, fair play!
Show me the place where I should go,
To learn the truth, where friendship glows,
Make me strong, religious, clean,
Obedient, respectful, firm, serene,
Help me make good, so I can plan,
An ideal life, a real true MAN."

REPORT OF ASSISTANT MANAGER, SWIMMING TEAM


MISS DORIS O'MARA
America's girl swimmers performed in a manner to sat-
isfy the most critical, winning five out of seven first places.
Before the Olympics, aquatic experts predicted that we
should capture both free style swims, the two dives and the
relay; that we were outclassed in the breast stroke and un-
likely to place in the back stroke. Such proved the case and
United States mermaids still rule the water by a wide margin.
While the general result was as expected, we faced far stiffer
competition than had been anticipated. European countries,
particularly Holland, have made almost unbelievable progress
in women's swimming and every American victory came after
unprecedented opposition.
As far as the girl swimmers were concerned, the Olympic
trip was in every way successful. Accommodations aboard
the S. S. President Roosevelt were excellent. The girls were
NINTH OLYMPIAD 291

allotted comfortable, secluded quarters on "A" deck where It


was always possible to obtain adequate rest. Food was satis-
factory throughout the trip. Officials were at all times cour-
teous and considerate. As a member of the 1924 team, I can
state positively that 1928 conditions were much better than on
the Paris Trip. Members of the 1920 team to whom I have
talked rate 1928 the best of all. With such arrangements it is
only natural that the morale should have been excellent. From
the women's standpoint, I cannot recall a single incident of
the entire invasion open to criticism.
For the future I recommend the same method of select-
ing our team as prevailed in 1924 and 1928—the leading place
winners of final tryouts held as close to the date of the Olym-
pic games as travel and the closing time of entries permit.
No fairer, more democratic system can be evolved. Alter-
nates should always be avoided as they are certain to cause
discord.
Coaches, managers and chaperones should be appointed
six months or more in advance, so that they may familiarize
themselves with, and advise, the prospective candidates, and
also complete all details for the tour at their leisure and
thereby avoid last minute confusion and oversights. Practice
sites should be approved long in advance by experienced
swimming officials and whenever possible the Olympic pool
or one with like facilities should be obtained. Living quar-
ters should be close to practice and long travel for training
must always be eliminated.
Rigid training rules for girl swimmers are not advocated.
An athlete proficient enough to make the Olympic team with
the present high grade competition must know how to care
for herself. There should be no compulsory retiring or rising
hour. Every girl should be placed on her honor and given an
opportunity to lead her normal existence. I doubt that this
trust would be misplaced. This suggestion is offered as a
means of ensuring a happy frame of mind for the girls and is
not intended as criticism, for there was no quarrel with the
1928 procedure. However, it might prove helpful to have the
girl athlete's point of view as a matter of record.
Some simple entertainment should be provided nightly
during the entire training period with dancing in moderation
unless prohibited in particular cases by the coach. It is no
292 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

easy task to keep a girl at her peak for a considerable period.


There must be wholesome diversion.
Our girl swimming teams of the future and, in fact every
team, should travel separately on fast steamers, each under its
own distinctive management. First class passage should be
provided. Living and training arrangements for each sport
should be completed by an experienced official, thoroughly
cognizant with every need of his or her branch. As a general
rule, you cannot bring every sport to a common level. What is
beneficial to one may handicap another. Travel by the entire
team as a unit is desirable—excluding the economic angle—
only in the case of a city like Amsterdam with its peculiar cli-
matic conditions and limited hotel space.
All Europe is profiting from America's swimming meth-
ods. The opposition will become stronger with each Olym-
pics and American supremacy may be threatened seriously
in 1932. We must build for the future. My suggestion is to
specialize. Keen rivalry no longer will permit a girl to take
part in two or three events of different styles or distances.
Let us inaugurate our Olympic campaign now by the de-
velopment of more back stroke and breast stroke swimmers,
without, of course, neglecting the free style or dives. Entry
in national championships and major meets should be
encouraged.
This report would not be complete if I failed to thank
publicly in the name of the team the Olympic Committee for
its foresight and kindness in providing the training period at
the Paris Olympic pool where three days of practice under
ideal conditions did more than anything else to fit the squad
for the Olympics.
In conclusion I thank the committee for honoring me
with the first Olympic managerial position ever held by a
woman.

REPORT OF DIVING COACH


ERNEST BRANDSTEN
In the 1928 Olympic Games the American divers were as
overwhelmingly victorious as they were in the two previous
Olympics of 1920 and 1924. However, it is significant that the
latest American victory is more than a mere duplication of
NINTH OLYMPIAD 293

the other two. In addition to redefeating their competitors of


previous Olympic Games, the Americans, by decisively defeat-
ing the Germans, once and for all disposed of the claim of
German superiority. This claim, originating in the German
spring board victories of 1908 and 1912, had been able to per-
sist through German failure to participate in the Olympics of
1920 and 1924.
A summary of the results of the last Olympic contest
shows that the United States' divers won nine out of a possi-
ble twelve places in the combined two men's and two women's
diving events. Even this does not show the true extent of the
triumph of American diving. Simaika, of Egypt, who placed
second in high fancy diving, and third in springboard diving,
though Egyptian by nationality, is purely a product of Ameri-
can diving. He received all of his training and competitive
experience in the United States. Therefore the only purely
foreign achievement was the third place in women's plain high
diving won by a Swedish contestant.
The outstanding American diver was Pete Desjardins,
who, by having won both the springboard and the high diving,
a remarkable feat, shares with Williams of Canada the dis-
tinction of being one of the only two double winners of the
1928 Olympic Games.
Unfortunately a mere summary of results fails to show
the quality of the American performance in diving. It was
the sensation of the aquatic program of the Olympic Games.
So outstanding was the work of the American contestants
that the diving authorities of the other competing nations
were unanimous in saying that the standard of performance
shown by the U. S. divers was actually above what they had
regarded as perfect.
The result of this is that the Europeans have at last
recognized the necessity for the same thoroughness as we use,
in training their divers.
For this reason we must not feel that we can relax our
efforts. On the contrary I earnestly urge that we start even
earlier and train even more rationally for the Olympic Games
diving at Los Angeles in 1932.
In planning the preparation for the next Olympic Games
we should remember that the good condition and consistent
performance of our divers was largely due to the group train-
294 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

ing that the candidates for the team received at Stanford Uni-
versity in the favorable climate of California, beginning two
months previous to the national Olympic Games tryouts.

REPORT OF COACH, WOMEN'S SWIMMING TEAM


R. J. H. KIPHUTH
In any comment I may make on the 1928 American Olympic
organization, please allow me first of all to express my appreciation
of the privilege accorded me by my appointment as a member of
the coaching staff in swimming.
I was extremely satisfied with the competitive results gained by
the women's swimming team, I am sure that these results are
listed in detail elsewhere. In addition to these figures it was a
source of great gratification to me to have so many of the girls
better their try-out time. Of the thirteen team members, nine
bettered their Olympic try-out time, one equalled, and but three
failed to come up to their best.
In the main, I feel the general organization and administration
of the Olympic party was excellent. There are but a few com-
ments I should like to make. It would seem that the arrangements
and facilities for workouts during the pre-game period might have
been better. From the experience of the swimming team evi-
dently nothing had been arranged for. In the matter of food and
medical supervision there was an evident lack of organization or
rather cooperation between the units concerned. This last com-
ment does not refer to the quality in anyway, which was excellent.
In closing I wish to say again what a great pleasure it was to me
to be associated with the 1928 Olympic Group and especially with
the swimming.

REPORT OF CHAPERONE, WOMEN'S SWIMMING TEAM


MRS. ADA TAYLOR SACKETT
The United States might well take pride in the young
women it sent to the Olympic Games at Amsterdam to re-
present it aquatically.
While they were chosen primarily as athletes, and in
that capacity they fully justified their being picked, the selec-
tion included young women whose behavior, in public and in
private, gave no cause for criticism by the most critical
observer.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 295

The young women swimmers, half of them from thirteen


to eighteen years of age, were found to be obedient to rules
of training and conduct and added proof, if it were needed,
has been given of the fine qualities developed in young
women through athletic training.

REPORT OF CHAPERONE, WOMEN'S SWIMMING TEAM


MRS. ALICE LORD LANDON
The trip of the Women Swimmers to the 1928 Olympics
at Amsterdam was a successful one from all standpoints.
The girls themselves were all seriously interested in being in
the best condition possible for the Games and for this reason
they co-operated with all orders from their chaperones and
coaches and what is more—stayed cheerful about it.
The trip over was delightful and when we arrived at
Amsterdam everyone was eager to begin hard training. It
was a matter of a few days before a pool which fitted the
needs of the swimmers was found but from then on practice
went on with regularity. The divers met a situation far
more serious but Mr. Brandsten has covered that in his report.
Shortly after our arrival at Amsterdam a trip to Paris
was planned for the girls and all but three of the divers went.
These three had an opportunity to go after their events.
During our stay there training was continued as usual but
there were several interesting sight seeing tours arranged
and also some time for shopping. This trip was a great help,
I believe, in keeping the girls contented when, later on, they
watched all the others go through their competition and then
leave on trips of their own. Of necessity, the days, and
particularly the evenings on board boat grew monotonous
but all that was possible was done to relieve this.
The eighteen members of the girls smimming team were
indeed a credit to their country and I have enjoyed my rela-
tions with each one personally.

French text will prevail.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
DESCRIPTION OF THE EXERCISES
Spreading With Both Arms (Two Hands Military Press)
First Motion.—The bar is laid horizontally in front of the athlete's feet, gripped with both
hands and brought with a single distinct motion up to the shoulder while either lunging or
springing on bent legs. The bar is then rested on the chest or on the arms closely flexed, the
feet brought back on the same line not more than 40 centimeters apart.
Second Motion.—-When in this position, hold a two second stop, standing still. The bar is
then lifted up vertically until the arms are completely raised, without any jerk or sudden start.
When the motion is completed, another stop of at least two seconds is required, the arms and
legs stiffened. During this whole performance, that is, the uplifting proper, the athlete's body
must constantly stand in the vertical position.
Important Remarks.—As a rule, the bar must touch the chest before performing the second
motion, which must not commence until the judge gives the signal by clapping his hands.
Those athletes who are unable to rest the bar on their chests must inform the jury of this fact
before commencing the test. For this class of competitors, the starting point of the bar, as
far as the uplifting proper is concerned, shall be indicated by the meeting point of the collar-
bone with the sternum.
Incorrect Motion.—-Any departure of the body from the vertical position; any foot work
(heel lift, etc.) and any bending, however little, of the legs; uneven raising of the arms during
the uplifting.
Wrenching With Both Arms (Two Hand Snatch)
The bar is laid horizontally in front of the athlete's feet, gripped with both hands, pulled
with One motion from the ground to the end of the arms raised vertically above the head while
either lunging or springing on bent legs.
The bar is passed with a continuous non-stop motion along the body, of which no other part
than the feet must touch or graze the ground while the drill is being performed.
The up lifted weight is held for two seconds motionless in the final position, the arms and
legs stiffened, and the feet on the same line not more than 40 centimeters apart. This motion
must be done while the hands are extended direct from the shoulders; the hands may in no
case be displaced along the bar during the drill.
Important Remarks.—In this drill, the fundamental principle is a single motion, no slowing
of movement shall be at all admitted until the wrists turn over, which shall not take place until
the bar has quite plainly reached higher than the top of the performer's head. Suspension
wrenching is unlawful.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 311

Shouldering and Uplifting with Both Arms (Two Hands Clean and Jerk)
The bar is laid horizontally in front of the athlete's feet, gripped with both hands and brought
with a single distinct motion from the ground to the shoulders while either lunging or springing
on bent legs.
The bar must not touch the chest before reaching its final position of the shouldering, there
to rest on the chest or on the closely flexed arms.
The feet are brought back to the original position, that is, on the same line. Then the legs
are bent and both legs and arms are then stiffened suddenly so as to lift the bar to the end of
the vertically raised arms.
The weight is held motionless in this final position for two seconds, the feet on the same line
and not more than 40 centimeters apart.
It is forbidden to repeat the uplifting.
Incorrect Motions.—Leaning with a knee on the ground or any shouldering in the course of
which the bar should touch any part of the body before finally reaching the shoulders.
General Particulars
1. In all shouldering, wrenchings, and upliftings the leg work may, at will, consist of an
unlimited lunging or springing, the extent of which is not defined.
2. Hooking. The trick called "Hooking," shall be lawful. (In drills, closing the fingers
over the last joint of the thumb of the same hand when gripping the bar.)
Number of Trials
Each participant has the privilege of three trials for each scheduled event (and not for each
weight).
The increase of weights between each trial must not be less than 5 kilograms, except the last
one when it may be 2 kilograms and one-half only.
A premature increase of two and one-half kilos denotes the last try. In no case may the par-
ticipant carry out a trial with a weight less than that employed in the preceding trial. The
trials must be correctly performed in accordance with the rules of the Federation Interationale
Halterophile, the participant holding the bar at the end of the arms raised vertically above
the head, the feet on the same line, until the judge says "bon."
A repeated lift is forbidden; only one lift is authorized after a correct shouldering.
Weight
The weighing in for each category is determined at the time of the event. A participant who,
at the issue of this weight, finds himself in a category other than the one in which his engage-
ment was made, may not participate in this new category unless there is a free place.
Material
The only authorized material in International Competitions and at Olympic Games shall
consist exclusively of bars which must be so built as to have a maximum of 0 m. 211 clearance
between the bar proper and the ground; w.o.w. that the diameter of the greatest disk is 45 c m .
and of the bar 28 m.m.
Effort
In all drills, the judge shall register as a trial any attempt not completed in which strain
was evidently exerted especially attempts in which the implement reached the height of the
knees.

TIME TABLE
Saturday July 28th, 9, weighing in and demonstrations of the exercises prescribed; 18-24,
competitions. Sunday July 29th, 13-17, competitions; 19=24, competitions.

REPORT OF MANAGER, WRESTLING TEAM


C. W. STREIT
The Olympic Try-Outs and the National A. A. U. Wrest-
ling Championships were held together at Grand Rapids,
Michigan on July 4th, 5th and 6th under the auspices of the
American Legion, Furniture City Post No. 258.
The United States was divided into Twenty-Six Sections
in which Try-Outs were held, in all over 2,500 men competing.
Only winners and second place men from the Sectional Try-
Outs were eligible to take part in the Finals. For the Finals
we had 188 men competing, representing practically every
state in the union.
The American Legion Furniture Post No. 258 and their
General Chairman, Mr. Ted Booth, and their Chairman, Mr.
Roscoe D, Bennett, deserve a great deal of credit for the many
details and the wonderful manner in which they handled the
Olympic Try-Outs,
The 1928 Olympic Wrestling Team was considered by
many to be far superior to any other team which has repre-
sented this country in the Olympic Games, but due to incom-
petent officials and a misunderstanding as to the interpreta-
tion of the rules regarding what constituted a fall caused us
to lose many decisions. In the United States we use a Pin-
Fall, and in the Olympic Games they insisted on interpreting
the rules to permit Rolling-Falls.
314 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

We are very much In hopes that before the Olympic Games


in 1932 that the International Wrestling Federation will
clarify the rule regarding what constitutes a Fall.
Due to business, the writer as Manager was unable to ac-
company the Team to Amsterdam. However, his duties were
handled by Mr. Charles H. Brennan of Detroit, whose report
is also included,
As Chairman of your Wrestling Committee, I wish to ex-
press to General Douglas MacArthur and his committee our
appreciation of the consideration given the members of the
Wrestling Team. If the writer has been of any service to you
as Chairman and Manager, it has been a pleasure.

REPORT OF ACTING MANAGER, WRESTLING TEAM


CHARLES H. BRENNAN

The American Olympic Wrestling team consisting of


fourteen contestants—two representing each class weight—
the winners and runners-up—as determined at the final try-
outs conducted in the States, accompanied with Trainer,
Coach and Manager, departed from New York, July 11th,
1928 aboard the S. S. President Roosevelt with the other
teams representing the United States to compete In the
Ninth Olympic Games at Amsterdam, Holland.
The second day at sea our team resumed Its training
aboard ship with drill exercises and wrestling bouts both
morning and afternoon. This work continued until we en-
tered competition at Amsterdam.
The selection of one entry from each class was deter-
mined from performances In action on an agreed date to
which team members were advised, the selection resulting In
accepting on performance the original first place winners In
the final tryouts conducted at Grand Rapids, Michigan.
With the opening of competition at Amsterdam our
team won all preliminary classes, survived semi-finals with
loss of one class, and reached the finals in six classes.
The competition encountered in the final was too great
for our boys and the results place one first and one second
winning to our credit.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 315

The failure of our team in not recording greater results


in the finals is largely due to the rules governing free style
wrestling in foreign countries. In our country we regard the
pin fall with both shoulders placed down and held at same
time. However, in Europe they regard a rolling fall as out.
Our team was in excellent condition when entering com-
petition at Amsterdam.
The accommodations afforded us aboard the S. S. Presi-
dent Roosevelt for our training throughout the trip were
ideal in every way. The comforts placed at our disposal dur-
ing the voyage receive our highest praises. Our living ac-
commodations and meals provided afford each and everyone
of us every necessity available throughout the trip.
We extend words of congratulation to the American
Olympic Committee for the excellent manner in which they
planned our comfort.
My suggestion is as follows:
Appeal should be made to the International Ama-
teur Wrestling Federation for a greater distinction be-
tween free style and Greco Roman wrestling and avoid
the rolling fall ruling in support of Catch-as-Catch-Can
development.
S.S. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
At Sea,
August 16th, 1928.
From: American Olympic Wrestling Team.
To: President American Olympic Committee.
Subject: Expression of appreciation for co-operation of
and courtesies shown by American Olympic Committee.
—1— The American Olympic Wrestling Team
wishes to take this opportunity to thank the American
Olympic Committee for the extremely satisfactory
training conditions provided on board the S. S. "Presi-
dent Roosevelt." Nothing conducive to training and
conditioning was neglected.
—2— The whole hearted co-operation of the en-
tire American Olympic Committee was a most helpful
morale factor and is greatly appreciated by the coach,
members and those connected with the American
Olympic Wrestling Team.

REPORT OF COACH, WRESTLING TEAM


GEO. M. PINNEO
Catch-as-catch-can wrestling is the newest form of the
oldest combative sport. In some form it has existed from the
dawn of Civilization as proved by holds now in use demon-
strated in bass relief murals far antedating the Christian era.
Catch-as-catch-can wrestling in modern times has been
fostered as a sport by Switzerland, America, England, Canada,
France, South Africa, Australia, Sweden, Finland, Germany,
and roughly developed in the order named. Switzerland has
probably held it as a National sport in its present day form
for the greatest length of time. They more than any foreign
nation have learned the use of the legs as well as the body.
The South Africans and Australians wrestle orthodox Catch-
as-catch-can style. The English practice the game extensive-
ly, but are neither strong nor aggressive, and have won but
one second and one third place in the last three Olympics.
The Scandanavians by their native strength are worthy oppo-
nents always because of the sheer strength of their arms and
chest. They make practically no use of their legs but use
chanceries and body holds with telling effect. The Canadians
are coming fast in this sport, and may be expected to enter
the winning column strongly in future Games.
The present day development of Catch-as-catch-can
wrestling is undeniably American. Every phase of the game
has been perfected to a point that is a revelation to all Nations.
The use of the legs has reached a point in finesse which is
absolutely baffling to the wrestlers of every other Nation.
Of the holds developed by the wrestlers of the New
World, the body and head scissors are the outstanding feature.
These holds, perfectly legitimate in every sense of this type of
wrestling, have been barred from the holds allowed in the
Olympic Games, and this for no other reason except that it is
a decided advantage to the American team. From the begin-
ning of the modern form of wrestling there has been one
mooted question that perennially appears, the rolling fall. In
Greco-Roman wrestling where only the arms are employed,
athletes may remain in a position so that fast falls may be al-
lowed. With the lower body and limbs always free one may
usually prevent a roll, and if not, can very easily bridge. When
NINTH OLYMPIAD 317

the legs are tied up as they are much of the time on the offen-
sive used by a number of nations in the modern development
of the game, the high bridge is impossible and rolling falls for
this reason must work a great unfairness to them. Flying
falls should probably be allowed. By flying fall is meant that
while on their feet an opponent picks his man up bodily,
throws him squarely on his shoulders, and although the touch
may be only momentary, it is a fall. When the men are on the
mat with one man on the offensive, or behind his man as it is
called, then the pin fall should be required and the shoulders
held to the mat for a perceptible length of time.
In the last Olympic Games this was the agreement as to
the governing of the rules, but the interpretation in every case
save one, when American athletes were eliminated, was that
any roll however fast, meant a fall. Unfortunately, as ap-
peared later, the United States wrestlers in the preliminary
rounds with two exceptions met men who were more or less
our own style. Berryman met Kapp of Esthonia, the final
winner in the class. Berryman took his opponent to the mat
immediately and in the fastest possible rolling fall was called
down. To the protest made, the answer was that it may have
been a mistake and that while the decision could not be re-
versed that it would not occur again. The other six men on
the team won their ways to the finals by work that was most
remarkable. The work done by these men can only be under-
stood by the record of their performance in these matches.
Up to and including the finals, twenty-six bouts were con-
tested and but four men went behind them or put an American
athlete on the defensive. And of these four men not one re-
mained there for a period of one minute. Every man without
exception outwrestled and took his man to the mat in the finals
only to be eliminated by decisions that had never been allowed
in Olympic competition before and which all admitted should
never be allowed again. With rules interpreted as they have
been in former Olympic Games the Wrestling Team should
have had at least six championships. In the face of such con-
ditions the wonder is that anyone won, Allie Morrison was
so superior that no man could go behind him and no man could
roll him. He simply could not be denied and greater glory is
deserved for it.
318 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

A committee was appointed to meet next year, composed


of the six Nations most interested in Catch-as-catch-can
wrestling. It is promised that rules will be passed which will
for all time preclude the possibility of a repetition of the in-
justice of past games. This can in no way undo the wrong
done the men of the 1928, the best balanced and most talented
team that ever represented any Nation in the Olympic Games,
but it is hoped that it may safeguard the future.
One thing came out of the Olympic Games which is of
value to all those interested in this sport. Great numbers of
the followers of Catch-as-catch-can wrestling, and the writer
was one of them, have felt that the double wristlock was one
of our greatest weapons both offensively and defensively. It
was clearly proved in these Games that it is of very doubtful
value. Men of the remarkable physical strength to be met are
absolutely impervious to this hold. This was demonstrated
several times and in the future it seems we may expect little
help in the use of a hold that has won many National Cham-
pionships in our own country.
The lesson to be learned from these games is that the
strong, aggressive and "tight" wrestlers are most effective in
Olympic competition. The opponent must be taken to the
mat and either pinned or kept there. All then that must be
asked, and all that was to be desired for an overwhelming vic-
tory in the present Games, is the elimination of rolling falls.

REPORT OF TRAINER, WRESTLING TEAM


W. E. CANN
Fourteen college men representing the pick of the Catch-
as-catch-can wrestlers of the United States, were selected at
the National Championships which were held at Grand Ra-
pids, Michigan, to represent the United States Olympic
Wrestling Team.
We sailed on the President Roosevelt with the other
athletes on July 11, for Amsterdam, Training conditions on
the boat were exceptionally good and we soon adapted our-
selves to conditions. The men trained faithfully under my
supervision, and I can report that the team selected, and
which represented us in the Olympic Games were in as good
NINTH OLYMPIAD 319

a condition as is possible to get a team. I also believe that


the personnel of the team was equally as good as the team
which I had the honor to coach in the 1924 Olympics.
Our defeat was caused by the foreign Olympic Commit-
tee permitting fly falls to count. We wrestled under the
same rules as we did in 1924, but Mr. Streit, who managed
the team at that time, insisted that a demonstration of a fall
take place and made them adhere to a stop before a fall was
counted. We believe that had Mr. Streit been writh us the
same conditions would have existed in 1928. It is regret-
table that a team such as represented us in the past Games
had to work under the rules which they used.
Mr. Brennan acted as acting manager, but, owing to the
fact that he was only selected for that position while we were
on board ship, he was not in a position to take any active part
in the meetings which should have been held, or demonstra-
tions of falls which should have been shown. We believe
Mr. Brennan did a very excellent piece of work under the cir-
cumstances in which he was placed, not being familiar with
wrestling conditions.
After finishing our bouts at Amsterdam, the team com-
peted against the Swiss team in Geneva, Switzerland, and
where pin falls were counted only, and we won over the
Swiss team decisively.
I would suggest, in the future Olympics, that all teams
should be placed on a training table diet while conditioning
themselves, and that each coach and trainer sit at and select
the diet for their athletes.
Mr. George M. Pinneo acted as coach of the team and we
worked harmoniously together.

REPORT OF CHAIRMAN, YACHTING COMMITTEE


CLIFFORD D. MALLORY
As Chairman of the American Olympic Yachting Commit-
tee, I desire to report to you the results of our trials in the
selection of a Six Meter Yacht to represent this country in the
Olympic Games to be held in Amsterdam, commencing August
2nd. Also our recommendations as to an Eight Meter Yacht
to represent this country during the same races, and a Helms-
man to represent the United States in the International 12-
foot Dinghy Class.
The sport of yacht racing is in a very healthy condition,
and since the Great War has developed rapidly, particularly
along International Lines. In 1920, the Seawanhaka Corin-
thian Yacht Club arranged a series of contests with Great
Britain, and for this purpose adopted the International Six
Meter Class for a series of five races. The first contest was
held in the waters of the Solent, England—1921, and the fol-
lowing year on Long Island Sound, off Oyster Bay. There-
after the races alternated in the two countries each succeeding
year. The series ended with Great Britain the winner. These
contests stimulated an interest in the International Rule of
Measurement, whereas this country has been racing under a
rule known as the Universal Rule of Measurement. Thirty
odd Six Meters were built in the United States.
In 1927 an American Six Meter Committee was formed
and a new series of contests arranged with Great Britain.
During the summer of 1927 races were held off Oyster Bay on
Long Island Sound for the Scandinavian Gold Cup, which had
been brought to this country by Herman F. Whiton with the
Yacht "Lanai." Seven foreign nations were represented, in
addition to the United States, and this cup was won by the
NINTH OLYMPIAD 331

Swedish Yacht "May be." During the same season, races


were held for the Seawanhaka Corinthian Cup, which was
won by the Norwegian Yacht "Noreg."
The American Six Meter Committee also arranged to send
yachts in 1928 to contest in Sweden for the Scandinavian Gold
Cup, and to Norway for the Seawanhaka Cup, and in view of
the yachting events of the Olympic Games to be held in Am-
sterdam, it was decided to appoint a Selection Committee for
the purpose of choosing from the available Six Meter Yachts
those to represent this country in the various events enum-
erated above. The American Six Meter Committee therefore
appointed: Clifford D. Mallory, E. Townsend Irvin, Butler
Whiting as members of this Selection Committee.
The series of races were held, commencing the 5th of May
and continued through the month. The committee which I
represented followed these events personally and after a long
series of contests selected four Six Meters, viz: AKABAR,
LANAI, REDHEAD, HERON. The yacht FRIEDA, owned
by Mr. Herman F. Whiton, and designed by Clinton H. Crane,
was selected to represent this country at the Olympic Games.
The Eight Meter Class is a new one to this country and is
the first time this country will have representatives racing in
these waters in 1928. Owen B. Churchill of Los Angeles has
placed an order with Starling W. Burgess, yacht designer, for
an Eight Meter Yacht to be built in Germany and delivered
in time to contest in the yachting events of the Olympics, and
our Committee has designated this yacht to represent the
United States in these contests. The rules covering "yacht-
ing" specifically provide that the yacht representing a nation
does not have to be built within the confines of that nation;
therefore, there can be no question as to this yacht conform-
ing with the rules.
As there were no other entries in the Eight Meter Class, it
is impossible to hold elimination contests, and our Committee
feel fully justified in making this selection.
The other yachting event scheduled in the Olympic Races
is that of the International 12-foot Dinghy Class. The rules
for this class provide one amateur only. Our Committee have
been giving careful consideration to the applicants for repre-
sentation in this class and have selected Dr. Manfred Curry,
332 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

an American citizen, and a member of the Beverly Yacht Club


of Marion, Mass., and an amateur, to sail and represent this
country in the International 12-foot Dinghy Class. In this
class the boats are provided by the Olympic Committee, and
do not have to be owned by the nation contesting.
In closing we wish to draw your attention to the fact that
this is the first time in history, so far as we can discover, that
the United States has been represented at the Olympic Games
in any of the yachting contests, and we trust that our selec-
tions may be acceptable to your Committee and make a good
showing in the events in which they are entered.

REPORT OF GUSTAVUS T. KIRBY


Representing the American Olympic Committee at the Winter Sports
Saint Moritz from 11th to 19th of February, 1928
Figure Skating
It was generally considered that the greatest figure skaters
of the world were gathered together at Saint Moritz. Mr.
Meyer, one of the greatest of the professional skaters and an
instructor of world renown, joined with Salchow, the Presi-
dent of the International Skating Federation, in stating that
those present were not only the best of the amateurs but also
far excelled the professionals.
In none of the events did the Americans place better than
third, this honor going to Miss Beatrix Loughran in the wo-
men's singles. In this event Miss M. Vinson was a close
fourth but a few points behind Miss Loughran; Mrs. Blan-
chard performed most creditably also. It can be stated with-
out fear of contradiction, that the chances are that the world
has never seen a more finished, graceful and dexterous skater
than little Miss Sonia Henie of Norway, who was the uni-
versal choice for first place.
In the men's singles, Mr. Grafston of Norway, while close-
ly pressed for first honors, also excelled. In this event, Mr.

Representative of the American
Olympic Committee at the II
Olympic Winter Sports.

SKELETON RACE
NINTH OLYMPIAD 341

Badger and Mr. Turner finished high on the list, but not with-
in the points.
In the mixed couples, a remarkable performance was given
by Miss Joly and Mr, Brunet of France, Miss Loughran and
Mr. Badger finishing a close fourth to the two Austrian
couples, Miss Brunner and Mr. Wrede; Miss Schulz and Mr.
Kaiser.
Mr. Henry W. Howe as President of the U. S. Figure
Skating Association and Mr. Joel Liberman, its designated
judge, were given every facility to officiate and every demand
or suggestion of the United States representative was graci-
ously received.
Speed Skating
As with the figure skaters, so with the speed skaters. The
best In the world were present and competed.
In addition to this, in the 10,000 meters race, Jaflee was
drawn against Evenson of Norway, the champion, and after a
great race, won from him by not less than 10 meters and made
the fastest time of any of the time trials which had been held.
One more trial was skated after that of the Jaflee and Evien-
son's trial and then it was officially announced through the
loud speaker that the race had been postponed. This was be-
tween one and two o'clock. Later in the afternoon, news-
papermen informed the writer that they had heard that the
race had been or was to be declared off and that Mr. Jaffee's
time would not stand. Acting upon this information and at
the suggestion of Mr. Hanson, the Manager of the skating
team, a protest was lodged. Dr. Messerli, the Secretary of
the Swiss Olympic Committee, the Marquis de Polignac of
the International Olympic Committee and many others all
stated to the writer that his protest was well taken and his
suggestions timely.
It happens that the Jury on the ground and the Jury of
Appeal consisted of one man, a situation to which the Swiss
Olympic Committee had taken objection on the ground that
all of the other International Federations had appointed three
men for its Jury of Appeal. Mr. Salchow, the President of
the International Skating Union, informed me that the matter
could be appealed to the Council of the Federation, which will
meet somewhere on the Continent in May. I strongly advise
that the United States Skating Association make such an ap-
342 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

peal and am personally of the opinion that it may reverse the


one man's decision and Mr. Jaffee be awarded first place in
the 10,000 meters.
It is suggested that careful consideration be given to some
possible modifications of the American method of skating races
to meet the continental demand for races against time.
We should endeavor to convince European skaters that
their method of only two men in lanes in time trials, is not the
only fair method, their main point being that the lane needed
by a skater is so wide that one cannot go by him fairly with-
out swinging very wide and that with a field of several, much
unfairness and risk would thereby be added.
Skiing
America has no need to be ashamed of the results of the ef-
forts of its three skiiers at Saint Moritz. A detailed report to
be presented by Doctor Dewey will be both critical and con-
structive. Perhaps in time, we can with our skiiers and our
fencers develop those to match our skill and stamina against
the many generations of European development, but today,
except for grit and perseverence, we are outclassed. At every
Olympic Games, we learn much and grow better.
Certainly the example of Ralph Monsen, outjumping
Haugen and being within the first ten of the real best, was an
inspiring performance, especially when it is considered that
he had a badly wrenched knee and had been warned by the
doctors that another injury might incapacitate him for life.
'Young Charles Proctor gave his best, displayed fine form and
will certainly take back to Darthmouth and New England
many valuable suggestions for the improvement of ski racing
and ski jumping in that locality.
Bobsleigh and Skeleton
Here Americans triumphed in the Cresta run. The two
Heatons, J. and J. R., finished first and second with the Earl
of Northesk of Great Britain, third, greatly to the surprise of
all, for Northesk holds the Cresta record and up to the Olym-
pic Championship and covering a period of many years, had
never been defeated. The Heatons, whose family comes from
New Haven, Connecticut, are fine sportsmen, who took their
victory modestly, though be it, that in achieving the same, they
had accomplished well nigh the impossible.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 343

The skeleton is really a single bob all metal in construc-


tion, weighing from 75 to 100 pounds, with no steering device
and a sliding seat which is laid upon by the rider and used by
him to shift his weight forward and back so as to better steer
and balance himself on the many steep, sharp and abrupt
curves, which are a hazard of this steep run. The rider has
securely fastened to the toes of his shoes rakes which are steel
spikes with which to check his speed and assist in steering.
Except on the curves where the course widens, the Cresta run
is about five feet wide. O'ne skeleton goes down at a time and
is electrically timed by broken contacts made at the start and
finish. The United States had two bobsleigh teams, each of
five and also entered five substitutes. One of these bobsleighs
was captained and piloted by Mr. Fiske and the other by Mr.
J. Heaton. Mr. Fiske's bob ran first and Mr. Heaton's second,
the results of which were not surprising nor gratifying as these
two teams had been winning in most of the other bobsleigh
events. It was unfortunate that a strong protest against the
method of drawing for position had to be made, which how-
ever, prevails and brought forth the method suggested.

344 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

Pair Skating
Rating Name
4th Miss Beatrix Loughran
Mr. Sherwin C. Badger
(3 points earned.)
9th Mrs. Theresa Weld Blanchard
Nathaniel W. Niles
There were thirteen final entries in this event.
The figure skaters therefore earned a total of ten points
for the United States in the Olympic Games.
The April, 1928 edition of "Skating", the official maga-
zine of our association, contains a detailed article on the
Games, with a full record of the scores.
The contribution of the figure skaters to the Olympic
fund was $7000 gross, which was derived principally through
receipts from two carnivals, one held in New York at the
Madison Square Garden and the other in Boston at the Arena,
both under the auspices of the United States Figure Skating
Association. This sum was entirely dispersed to the six
skaters named above and to the writer who was nominated as
judge, representing the United States in figure skating at the
Olympic Games.
Our association entered into a financial campaign im-
mediately after the entries had been approved by the commit-
tee and upon the assurance that one-half of the expenses
would be contributed by the Olympic Committee, provided
our association raised the remaining necessary funds.

REPORT OF MANAGER, SKI TEAM


DR. GODFREY DEWEY
The first Olympic winter Games were held at Chamonix
in 1924 as a part of the Eighth Olympiad at Paris, Their suc-
cess was immediate and established them firmly as a part of
the Olympic program. As Holland could not offer in con-
nection with the Ninth Olympiad at Amsterdam a suitable
climate or terrain for winter sports, the Second Olympic win-
ter Games were awarded to Switzerland and after keen com-
petition between the leading Swiss winter resorts, particularly
Engelberg, Davos and St. Moritz, were awarded to St. Moritz.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 345

In response to semi-official inquiries from members of the


American Olympic Committee as to whether Lake Placid
Club would be prepared to receive the 1932 winter Olympics
if they should be awarded to the United States in connection
with the Tenth Olympiad at Los Angeles; I arranged to visit
Chamonix and a dozen of the leading Swiss winter re-
sorts culminating at St. Moritz, for an intensive study of the
problem. At the same time I consented to act as manager of
the proposed United States Olympic Ski Team which, even at
the date of my sailing, January 14, was not yet assured in
spite of the most active efforts on the part of the Eastern Ski
Association and of Lake Placid Club and the American Olym-
pic Committee.
At the last possible moment we succeeded in sending an
accredited team of 3 skiers: Rolf Monsen of Brattleboro Out-
ing Club, Charles Proctor of Dartmouth, president of the In-
tercollegiate Winter Sports Union, and Anders Haugen of the
Ogden Dunes Ski Club of Chicago, the latter selected by the
National Ski Association, For the Skiing events the rules
permitted a maximum of 40 entries or 20 actual competitors,
including the military patrol demonstration, and counting the
18 kilometer race, and the 18 kilometer race and jump com-
bined as separate events. To supply these 20 competitors we
had 3 entries. Norway had 22, each man a specialist picked
and trained for a single event,
In the military patrol race, scheduled as a demonstration,
not as a part of the Olympic competition proper, we were, of
course, not represented. This is a cross-country ski race of
25 to 30 kilometers for squads of 4 men in full military equip-
ment, who are allowed to help each other, time being taken
only when the last man of the squad crosses the finish line.
Nine teams were entered.
For the 50 kilometer race none of our men entered. This
was an entirely wise and sportsmanlike decision as with their
brief training period they had not the slightest chance of plac-
ing and the attempt could have served only to reduce greatly
their effectivness in the remaining events, One of the sur-
prises of the whole meet was the decisive victory of Sweden
over Norway in this event, due chiefly to better judgment in
waxing for the thawing conditions which prevailed through-
out the greater part of the race.
346 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

In the 18 kilometer race our 3 men finished last of the 44


who qualified out of a field of 80. Haugen finished quite fresh
with little effort. Proctor did his best though realizing that
he had no chance to place in such a picked field. A fall
paralized his elbow so that he had to throw away one pole but
he finished gamely within the time limit. Monsen had
sprained his knee badly in a practice jump on almost the first
day of his arrival at St. Moritz, a week before the Games and
nearly two weeks before the jump. He had been going daily
to the best specialist in the region, at Celerina, doing his ut-
most to get in condition for the jump, although deprived of
practically all his training on the grounds. In such a condi-
tion he had, of course, no chance in the 18 kilometer race, but
felt, aside from the sportsmanship of entering to do his best
that to qualify and jump in the morning competition of the
combined event might help him for the principal competition
in the afternoon. He therefore went through the 18 kilometer
race gamely although he had to side step down the more dan-
gerous slopes to save his knee and finished last of those to
qualify; in fact the judges had left the finish line when he ar-
rived and I was able to qualify him only because the last
checking post had checked him and sent their list in to the
judges by him.
The jump for the combined event took place Saturday
morning, February 18, the independent jump Saturday after-
noon. Both morning and afternoon competitions were de-
layed 20 to 30 minutes by arguments between the jumpers and
the judges, the Norwegian jumpers particularly refusing to start
from the top, fearing lest their best jumpers might overjump the
hill. As a compromise, both morning jumps and the first after-
noon jump were started from a rope 6 meters down the run-
way, and the second afternoon jump about 3 meters down the
runway. It is only fair to the Norwegians to say that their
contention was largely justified by the outcome. The Olym-
pic jump at St. Moritz is a modern carefully engineered hill
specially built at large expense for the Olympics, with a land-
ing slope of 37 degrees 30 minutes which changes at about 71
meters to an outrun curve of 80 meters radius. Such a hill, of
course, would be excellent for jumps of 60 meters and practic-
able for jumps of 65 meters but dangerous for more. In the
actual competitions only 18 jumps out of about 160 exceeded
NINTH OLYMPIAD 347

60 meters, and only one exceeded 66 meters, but when Jacob


Tullin Thams, the Norwegian who won the 1924 Olympic
jump at Ghafnoriix, made his final jump he reached 73 meters
and received a terrific fall impossible to escape, which might
easily have been fatal. It is interesting to note that with
the pushing of the internationally accepted world's record
above 70 meters (on the Bernina jump at Pontresina the
youthful Swiss jumper, Bruno Trojani, jumped 71 meters on
Jan. 1, and later 72 meters or 236 feet, on Jan. 15) there is
growing in the F. I. S. (International Ski Federation) a deft-
nite movement to restrict championship jumps to a range
around 50 meters, for the best interests of the sport.
The morning jump in the combined event meant nothing
of course except practise to our American team, in view of
their low position in the 18 kilometer race. Their jumps were
all about 50 meters, as compared with an average for the 6
winners of about 55 meters.
In the main jump in the afternoon Monsen, Proctor, and
Haugen placed 6, 14, and 18 respectively out of 49 entries, and
40 contestants actually jumping. Haugen although twice
holder of the world's record and maker of the longest jump at
Chamonix in 1924 was out jumped both by Proctor and Mon-
sen. Proctor jumped very creditably both as to form and
distance, finishing in the first third of a picked field. Monsen's
efforts were superb. The thaws earlier in the week had made
the outrun at the bottom hard and slippery and difficult to
stop on, in spite of the best efforts of the authorities. Monsen
made one beauiful jump in the morning but in order to stop
without wrenching his knee chose to take a straight fall at the
end of the horseshoe, which knocked him cold for a minute,
but saved his knee from further injury. In the afternoon in
spite of his crippled condition he made two beautiful jumps
which placed him on the table of honor as number 6, the only
point won by our ski team this year. He did this although
his knee was so bad that he had to hobble uphill sidewise to
reach the start. An Englishman whom I had seen several
times during the Games remarked in my hearing that he con-
sidered Monsen's superb jumping when he had to limp uphill
sidewise to reach the start the gamest exhibition in the whole
meet. Certainly his sportsmanship throughout the whole
period was beyond praise.
348 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

The most striking feature of European ski hills as con-


trasted with the American is the increasing tendency to build
the best hills with little or no tangent immediately preceeding
the take-off. The Olympic jump at Chamonix, and the world's
record Bernina jump at Pontresina, have no such tangents,
and the latest improvements to the Olympic jump at St.
Moritz shortened the preceding tangent considerably. Speak-
ing as an engineer rather than as a jumper I regard the design
with no tangent as superior to the prevailing American prac-
tice for the tangent represents an unquestioned loss of speed,
and a uniform curve of a large radius (80 meters to 100
meters) from the upper hill to the take-off is equally as good
as a tangent in avoiding the slightest disturbance to the jump-
er's poise. Our jumpers all expressed themselves as well
pleased with the ease of the Olympic hill, and Proctor jump-
ing in a post-Olympic event on the Bernina hill reported that
while he failed to find the take-off in his first jumps, in his
last jump of 59 meters he found the hill entirely easy and
satisfactory.
It was interesting to note that in nearly every community
which I visited they had recently lengthened or were plan-
ning to lengthen their local hill from 35, 40, or 45 meters to 5
or 10 meters longer, by moving the take-off up and back and
lengthening the upper hill, at the same time that the in-
ternational authorities are becoming increasingly insistent on
limiting the length of championship jumps.
In cross-country skiing the most striking contrast is, of
course, that due to the ready accessibility and consequent
emphasis on the high open slopes of the Alps, as compared
with the eastern United States, winter sports conditions are
regarded more as a matter of altitude and less of latitude.
Downhill races are still relatively infrequent, but the British
skiiers under the leadership of Arnold Lunn are seeking to
establish them as an integral part of the ski championship
program. The consensus of opinion among skiiers of several
nationalities seemed to be that our cross-country skiing condi-
tions resembled much more nearly those of the Scandinavian
countries, particularly Sweden, Much emphasis is laid on the
importance of correct waxing in which the Norwegians are
generally regarded as past masters, although the Swedish vic-
NINTH OLYMPIAD 349

tory in the 50 kilometer race was due directly to their better


judgment in waxing for the event.
All in all, the second Olympic winter games at St. Moritz
in 1928 represent a notable contribution to international good-
sportsmanship, There were inevitably, various minor unto-
ward incidents to be regretted, but these trivialities so often
overemphasized by the cynical or prejudiced observer, were
far outweighed by the major constructive contribution to in-
ternational goodfellowship and winter sports.
Looking forward to the 1932 Olympic winter games and
summarizing my study of the whole situation, I may say that
with respect to those indispensable features which money
cannot buy, such as climate and terrain, and with respect to
those equally important features which are the product of time
and money and long experience, such as skating rinks, cross-
country ski courses, and ski jumps, we need offer no apologies
to the best European resorts, except in the one field of coast-
ing runs, and in that field there is ample opportunity to con-
struct a bob sled run fully equalling the best European stand-
ards. There is at least one ski hill in the eastern United States
which is as perfect for jumps of from 40 to 60 meters as any
that present engineering and skiing knowledge have yet pro-
duced anywhere in the world. If the established precedent
brings the Olympic winter games to the United States in 1932,
they can be held here in a manner fully equalling or surpassing
the high standards which have been set abroad.

REPORT OF MANAGER, BOBSLEIGH & SKELETON TEAMS


JAY O'BRIEN
It is with great pleasure that I forward my complete re-
port of the activities of the Bobsleigh and Skeleton Teams
which participated in the Second Winter Olympic Games held
in St. Moritz on February 11th, 1928.
The two events which were put in my hands to organize,
I am happy to say, scored a complete success as my teams
with two entries in each event finished first and second in
both.
The men whom I selected were fine types of pure ama-
teur sportsmen brought together by me throughout Europe.
350 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

They also gave to the training, etc., for these games their full
and undivided support, I cannot speak too highly of them
and even the results achieved do not tell the full story of their
sincere efforts.
I think it is only justified that I call attention to the fact
that the training and participation of these teams did not cost
the Olympic Committee one penny in the way of expenses.

REPORT OF ACTING CHAIRMAN OF FINANCE


COMMITTEE, MURRAY HULBERT
Owing to the protracted illness of the late Major Prout, the
Committee were necessarily delayed in organizing the cam-
paign for the solicitation of funds and there were many who
felt that this delay would imperil its success.
The provisions of our Constitution makes the Treasurer
the Chairman of our Finance Committee and requires each
organization member to nominate its representative thereof.
NINTH OLYMPIAD 363

The Preliminary Committee consisting of yourself, Dr.


Manning and the writer, after a survey of the situation, recom-
mended that $400,000.00 be set as the goal and that each city
having a population in excess of $25,000.00 be assigned a
quota equal to one cent for each person of population, in order
to raise this amount.
An effort was made to induce the Mayors of each of these
275 cities to act as the Chairman or to designate a prominent
public spirited citizen to do so but within the limited time
available, it did not prove to be practicable to organize ef-
fectively along these lines. Consequently the Preliminary
Committee suggested the appointment of a Chairman to or-
ganize a committee in the centers of population. Mr. William
F. Humphrey, First Vice-President of the American Olympic
Committee took charge in San Francisco. Mr. Robert S.
Weaver, Second Vice-President, did likewise in Los Angeles.
Federal Judge Rufus E. Foster, Fourth Vice President, per-
formed a similar service in New Orleans and George W.
Wightman, Third Vice President, accepted the Chairmanship
for all of New England.
When the nominations from each organization member had
been received, Mr. Raskob was in Europe and you requested
me to act as the Chairman of the Finance Committee.
For the first time in the history of the American Olympic
Committee a separate committee was appointed to solicit the
co-operation of the colleges, and Mr. Gustavus T. Kirby, form-
er President of the American Olympic Committee accepted the
Chairmanship. Judge Frank Smith was appointed Chairman
for Philadelphia. Edward J. Kelly, President of the South
Park Board, was appointed Chairman for Chicago; Charles
H. Brennan for Detroit; J. Rodgers Flannery for Pittsburgh;
Major General Anton Stephan for Washington, D. C.; Harold
D. Jacobs for Baltimore; C. W. Streit for Birmingham; Al
Doonan for Atlanta; Reginald H. Parsons for Seattle, Wash-
ington; C. N. Churchill for Memphis; Judge Fred L. Hoff-
man for Cincinnati; M. F. Hilfinger for Syracuse; Joe Utay
for Dallas, Texas; and T. K. Seiberling for Akron, Ohio.
Mayor James J. Walker appointed a committee in New
York City with Grover A. Whalen as Chairman and Joseph
A. Reilly, President of the Metropolitan Association of the
364 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

A. A. U. and Major William Kennelly, President of the New


York Athletic Club conducted independent drives. I beg to
refer you to the financial report printed herewith in detail,
showing the results.
In many communities, the district officials of the A. A. U.
served as members of the local committee but the following
worked independently:
Connecticut Association $ 1,520.00
Western Association 976.05
Florida Association 266.00
Midwestern Association 332.00
Pacific Northwest Assn. 412.27
Metropolitan Association 51,559.50
Intercollegiate, Finance Comm. 25,390.22
South Atlantic Ass'n 500.00
Pacific Association 3,000.00
Niagara Association 650.00
You will note that the Amateur Athletic Union has raised
considerably over $100,000.00.
Mr. Raskob has on hand a balance of $41,131.31. The re-
coupment on charter party by sale of space to members of the
families of the athletes, committees and tourists amounted to
$33,765.24.

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR OF THE AMERICAN


OLYMPIC ASSOCIATION TO THE EXECU-
TIVE COMMITTEE OF THE AMERICAN
OLYMPIC COMMITTEE
Before going into the terms of the various accounts and
financial committees, I respectfully make the following obser-
vations and suggestions for whatever use they may be to fu-
ture Olympic Committees:
There has been much talk of a permanent fund from which
might be derived the expenses of American athletes to every
Olympic competition in the future. In my opinion, this policy
has certain fallacies at the base thereof. It is true that it has
certain advantages, such as relieving future Olympic Commit-
tees and Sub-Committees from the severe strain of raising
these funds, but there would be such a lack of popular appeal
NINTH OLYMPIAD 365

and spontaneous fervor If such a permanent fund were estab-


lished that the Olympic Games themselves, in my opinion,
would fail to arouse the same enthusiasm as heretofore. It
must be borne in mind that at a time of this kind, there is a
certain spontaneous enthusiasm which is ever present when
funds are urgently needed and a patriotic appeal is made. An-
other most important result would be the great lack of free
publicity and advertising by reason of the non-necessity of
getting funds together. Even the smallest contributor is in-
terested when he sees and hears these appeals made to his
spirit of sportmanship and patriotism when the funds are
needed.
It might be pointed out that sufficient funds have always
heretofore been raised to cover the needs of the teams so much
so that there was a balance remaining over and above the ex-
penses of the 1920 expedition and over and above the 1924 ex-
pedition, $25,447.29 and over and above the 1928 expedition,
$79,693.54 including accounts receivable of $4,796.99, very
few of which are deemed uncollectible.
With this in mind it has become, in my opinion, a very im-
portant thing, and I hereby lay stress upon the necessity of the
final report distributed by the American Olympic Association
or Committee, as the case may be, containing an exact list of
the individual contributions, be they from an individual as
such, a partnership, a corporation or an association, with the
amount contributed set forth alongside the name of the con-
tributor. This has sometimes been done in the past and
should be done in future reports for two reasons. First: It
gives a better opportunity for outsiders to check up the
amounts of money which are received by the Olympic Associa-
tion for a specific purpose whether these outsiders have con-
tributed or not, for the reason that they are all interested as
citizens of the United States. There is no doubt but that many
persons wonder how this money is raised, how much is raised
and whether all the money that is raised goes into the trea-
sury. They are not so much interested in what is done with it
after it reaches the treasury because once it is there it cannot,
or should not get out without a complete record of what it is
used for. I think the more publicity the finances are given the
better, as the public has become more or less suspicious of all
money raising operations in the United States owing to the
366 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

enormous quantity of organizations that raise money at the


present time. Second: It gives due credit to the person who
pays for the expenses of those taking part in the expedition in
the Olympic Games. The most important part of an Olympic
program is the raising of funds. It is easy to get a team to-
gether and to have officials to do the work if the funds are
available, and too much stress cannot be placed upon the
acknowledgment to the individual donors of the payments re-
ceived from them, and less upon the various personal and un-
necessary advertising at the public's expense of a lot of officials.
With reference to the Financial Report of the Intercollegi-
ate Finance Committee of the American Olympic Committee,
I have to say that I have examined the report as presented,
consisting of "Part One-Report"—and "Part Two—-Financial
Summary together with Appendixes from A to G inclusive
and from 1 to 4 inclusive Subsequent Thereto," and find the
same to be correct according to the figures attached, and have,
therefore, attested to the correctness of the same by signing the
Report as Auditor of the American Olympic Association.
The Report was splendidly prepared with sub-reports,
copies of letters and other data which makes it a valuable
record.
I find by the Report that the total amount actually col-
lected by the Intercollegiate Finance Committee was the sum
of $28,909.16, this amount having been turned into its treasury,
but the total amount reflected as received by or through the
influence of the Intercollegiate Finance Committee amounts to
$33,843.61, the difference being represented by amounts re-
ceived by other organizations and turned over directly to the
treasurer of the American Olympic Association, which
amounts were credited directly to the districts from which the
amounts were received by the treasurer.
The amount turned into the treasury of the American
Olympic Committee up to the time of my auditing the report
was the sum of $25,390.22. The percentages, therefore, paid
into the treasury from the amount actually collected and re-
ceived in the treasury of the Intercollegiate Finance Commit-
tee is 87.68% of the total actual receipts.
The disbursements, as shown by the report, amount to the
sum of $6,264.03, but owing to the contribution of $1,745.09 by
Mr. Gustavus T. Kirby and $1,000 by Mr. A. C. Gilbert, mak-
NINTH OLYMPIAD 367

ing a total of $2,745.09, this disbursed amount was reduced to


a net expense to the Intercollegiate Finance Committee of
$3,518.94, representing 12.32% of the actual amount received.
These special contributions just referred to are set forth under
Columbia University and Yale University under Appendix E,
marked by an asterisk, and have not been included in the total
of such contributions as having been received by the Intercol-
legiate Finance Committee.
There was raised by contributions for the 1928 Olympic
expedition, the sum of $371,597.05 and there was an additional
amount from the sale of transportation of $44,099.94, making
a total of $415,696.99. The funds were raised in various
parts of the country, from individuals, organizations and in-
stitutions; some of them reflect a tremendous amount of credit
in the raising of funds and others more or less of a disap-
pointment, and while the report which is printed in full below,
speaks for itself, it might only be fair to point out some of the
fine work done by many of the associations and institutions in
their work of raising funds.
San Francisco is entitled to credit for its enviable showing
as reflected in the report of Mr. William F. Humphrey, Chair-
man of that committee in sending to the Olympic Committee
$31,721.50 without any expense whatsoever to the Committee.
This was unique with reference to the big cities as being the
only big city to turn in a fund without any expense charged
against it.
The report of the New England Division through its
Chairman, Mr. George W. Wightman, was very gratifying.
They used various methods for collecting their funds, such as
accepting contributions along the marathon race, holding golf
and boxing exhibitions, printing and distributing program,
which alone netted the sum of $10,000.00 and most important
of all, held the Olympic Tryouts in Boston at a total expense
of only $4,677.80 whereas they turned over to the American
Olympic Committee the splendid sum of $45,509.10, for which
they have been given full credit. The New England Division
is also entitled to an additional $5,000.00 by reason of funds
turned over to the Intercollegiate Finance Committee by col-
leges and college men. This makes a total for New England
in excess of its quota of $50,000.00.
368 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

Exceptional credit is also due to the State of Illinois, which


raised through its Chairman, Mr. Edward J. Kelly, the fine
sum of $41,300.02, the net amount after deducting the very
small and reasonable amount of expenses in the sum of
$1,523.15.
Credit for the largest individual amount received from any
organization, individual or corporation, is due to the Metro-
politan Association of the Amateur Athletic Union of the
United States, through its President, Mr. Joseph A. Reilly.
In various ways and by holding various meets, it has contrib-
uted to the American Olympic Committee the net sum of
$55,784.22, having expended the sum of $4,254.72 in order to
obtain this net sum. Thus there has been a splendid target for
future local fund raising districts to shoot at.
It was also very pleasing to realize how well his Honor
James J. Walker, Mayor; Commissioner Grover Whalen and
the committee appointed by the Mayor, took hold of the rais-
ing of funds for the district of Manhattan. So well and ef-
ficiently did he work with his committee that the sum of
$23,308.63 was turned in to the American Olympic Committee
at a cost for this sum of only $2,105.53.
Philadelphia, through its Chairman, Honorable Frank
Smith, sprang a surprise, turning into the American Olympic
Committee far more than was expected, in delivering the Com-
mittee the sum of $18,053.95 at an expense for raising] this net
fund of $2,487.40.
From past experience, about one-half the sum that was re-
ceived from Michigan, was expected. This State, through its
able and efficient Chairman, Charles H. Brennan, turned in
the enviable amount of $18,022.00, which was almost one-third
more than the amount received in 1924. This money was
practically all realized from the Olympic Tryouts held in that
section under the chairmanship of Mr. Brennan.
Credit should be given to the Olympic Lacrosse Committee
for its efforts in holding successful Lacrosse Tryouts in the
cities of Washington and Baltimore with the result that the
sum of $18,937.37 was turned in to the American Olympic
Committee as a contribution to the fund.
Great credit should be given to Al. Doonan of the Atlanta
Athletic Club for his efforts in successfully arranging to have
NINTH OLYMPIAD 369

Bobby Jones and Watts Gunn play in exhibitions in various


parts of the South as a result of which, the American Olympic
Committee received the total of $7,776.18.
Probably to John J. Flaherty belongs the credit of turning
in the result of the most popular subscriptions of all. In the
State of New Jersey, through his efforts, there was raised the
sum of $8,420.85 and this came from practically every town in
the State of New Jersey, the people in the various localities
contributing anything from a dollar upwards.
To little Maryland, through the efforts of Harold Jacobs,
its chairman, the very fair return to the American Olympic
Committee of $5,488.03 was made.
It is gratifying to note that some of the Middle States who
have not yet heretofore been interested in the Olympic move-
ment, came forward with substantial amounts; for example,
Missouri raised $943.05 and Nebraska and Iowa combined, the
sum of $2,084.48.
Among the localities sending in smaller amounts, might
be mentioned the State of Florida which turned in the sum of
$1,022.00 through its Chairman, Colonel Robert M. Thompson;
the City of Seattle, Washington, which turned in $2,796 with
special mention of the name of Mr. Reginald H. Parsons, who
himself contributed of this amount, $2,000.00; the City of Pitts-
burgh, Pa., which turned in the amount of $4,080.00, to which
the Chairman, Mr. J. Rodgers Flannery, made a very generous
contribution; New Orleans, Louisiana through Judge Rufus
E. Foster and L. di Benedetto, raised the sum of $2,210.00.
California seems to be a lucrative district for the raising of
funds, except that the expenses of raising these funds seem to
have been inordinately high; for example, to Los Angeles
goes the credit for raising the largest gross amount of any
district, organization or otherwise, having raised the sum of
$77,884.39 but when there has been from this sum deducted the
amount of $48,583.39 for expenses, only leaving the net amount
of $29,301.00, which was received by the Committee, the re-
sult is an extreme disappointment.

428 AMERICAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

REPORT OF THE
INTERCOLLEGIATE FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Intercollegiate Finance Committee was formed in November,
1927, by vote of the American Olympic Committee for the purpose of
raising funds from and solidifying interest in the Olympic movement
at the colleges and universities of the country. The open break of
certain college groups with the administrative forces controlling
American participation in the Olympic Games gave rise to the necessity
of enlisting college men who would be able to convince their college
friends of the real value of the Olympic games. To the end that this
might be accomplished a committee was formed under the active leader-
ship of Stanley dej. Osborne, recently graduated from Harvard, and
with the writer as chairman. This Committee consisted of graduates
of various large universities who were interested in the movement and
also of five undergraduates, G. Norman Scott of Cornell; Willard J.
Slagle of M. I. T.; John J Tucker of Princeton; Richard L. Kennedy
of Princeton, and Lee O. Combs of Southern California, who gave full
or part of their time to this effort.
The work was carried out by various methods. First and foremost
by personal interviews with the heads of the larger institutions. To
this end a member of the Intercollegiate Finance Committee interviewed
representatives of every large college in the East, West and Middle
West. It is fair to say that every large college of any importance was
approached personally by some member of the Committee. The general
disaffection with the administration of American participation in the
Olympic Games was halted in part and at least until the end of the
games, and almost every large college contributed something.
Secondly, printed or personal letters were sent by the chairman and
vice-chairman to more than 100 women's colleges and preparatory
schools, and over 600 to colleges not interviewed. Also, appeals were
sent out to about 65,000 graduates of our leading universities from the
graduate lists, from the graduate club lists and from the various lists
on the files of the Intercollegiate Association in New York.
Thirdly, a small bulletin, the "Intercollegiate Olympic Journal," was
published to the end of acquainting a large number of people with the
work being done in the colleges and the final issue of which contains
this article.
Fourthly, the vice-chairman, Mr. Osborne, traveled to several parts
of the country for the purpose of speaking at meetings of various college
conferences and in large measure succeeded in bringing many of these
back into line despite their previous open break with the Olympic
Association.
Without expense to the committee, several of its members were, sent
to Amsterdam and there worked in various capacities, especially in the
carrying out of office and other detailed work which seemed necessary
to the Committee.
As for results, the accompanying financial statement will show that
over $34,000 was raised, with a net return of over $29,000 to the
American Olympic Committee. The expenses seem large for the net
return, especially when it is considered that all services were donated
and disbursements for general office space and similar purposes speci-
fically contributed, and also that the cost of the Olympic Journal was
a special contribution of the I.C.A.A A.A.; but by word of explanation
it may be stated that in this work where many personal interviews were
necessary a member of the Committee well acquainted with all angles
of the Olympic movement had to be on hand, and this necessitated
many miles of travel. By suggestion of General MacArthur, it was not
NINTH OLYMPIAD 429

so much the amount of money to be turned in but the moral support


of the colleges which was of primary importance, and to this end
attempts were made to have every college in the land know and under-
stand the Olympic idea and to squelch the suspicion in the Middle
West and elsewhere of underhanded politics in the Olympic manage-
ment. As an aid to accomplish this, over seventy thousand letters and
circulars were distributed, and such methods are necessarily costly. A
going concern should operate at far less cost than one built over-night,
and if the campaign is to be repeated in 1932 and voluntary service
can be again secured, the disbursements will be materially lessened.

REPORT OF A. JOCELYN H. MAGRATH


Acting Treasurer at Amsterdam, Holland
Owing to the impossibility of your Treasurer, Mr. John J. Raskob,
being able to be in Amsterdam, I was appointed by General MacArthur
to act as Acting Treasurer during the journey of the team from New
York to Amsterdam and return. I received from the Treasurer a sum
slightly in excess of $50,000.00, of which the receipts and disbursements
are most specifically set forth below. I think it only fair to say at this
time, that had it not been for the loyal and whole-hearted backing of
General MacArthur and the splendid assistance given me by Mr. Fred-
erick W. Rubien and Mr. James Simms and at times the purser on the
ship, it would have been absolutely impossible for me to have handled
the situation.
While the same conditions will not obtain for the Olympic Games
of 1932 by reason of the fact that they will be held in the United
States, I would sincerely urge upon any future Olympic Committee,
where the Games are to be held abroad, to have a fully paid assistant
to the person who acts as Treasurer, who should give his entire time
to assist the Treasurer in the carrying out of the very arduous duties
that are absolutely necessary. It so happened that the accounts had
to be carried on as in this instance, often in five different kinds of
money; dollars, guilders, pounds and French and Belgian francs, and
this condition might easily obtain again, no matter where the Games
are held, so long as the country is a foreign one.
Another plan that all future Olympic Committees, including that of
1932 should take in hand, is the payment of athletes' expenses to and
from their homes, so that if possible one responsible department should
take care of these expenses, and some uniform method of athletes'
expenses be adopted. In the present instance, many athletes coming
from far distant points, were paid varying sums of money, although the
points were the same. A college or an athletic club would pay in many
instances sums far in excess of the amount allowed by the American
Olympic Committee, and this does not seem altogether fair and created
a great deal of ill feeling. Furthermore, in many instances, these insti-
tutions paid the athletes their return expenses, and when the matter
was brought to the attention of the Olympic Committee and it was
pointed out that the requested reimbursements exceeded the limit
allowed by the American Olympic Committee, there was further ill
feeling. The following is the report of the amounts received and
disbursed by me as Acting Treasurer:
Respectfully yours,
A. Jocelyn H. Magrath.
