Olympic Games came from Lon- don, Ont., almost simultaneously with a statement from the execu- ilve committee of the Canadian Olympi-c Association, meeting in camera in Montreal.

The statement said Olynzplc rules regarding amateur status had hecn brought to the attention

of Mrs. Clyde Scott. Barbara Ann's tntzthcr. and the committee was informed by Mrs. Scott her

daughter would "take steps to re- turn the automobile" immediately on returning to the Capltabfrom a visit to London. ,

The committee expressed the Association's anxiety "to protect the eligibility" c-l‘ Barbara Ann fo: the 1948 Olympic Games "and also her amateur status." The committee has forwarded "a com- plate report on the matter" to J. 3. Edstrom. president of the In- ternational Olympic Committee at stockholm. at his request.

Nothing Irregular

Mayor Stanley Lewis said theta was “absolutely nothing irregular about the presentation." It was not a "prize". but "an expression oi appreciation for the distinction Barbara, Ann had brought Ottawa.

Mel Rogers of Ottawa, wast president of the Canadian Figure Skating Association, sol-d he had been informed the U. S. Olympic president, Avery Brundage, llao flied objection to the gift with president Edstrom of the inter- national body, and that Edstrom had replied he was "confident Barbara Ann diid nothing wrong."

Mf- Rvkers felt personally the Canadian committee should “come out and take a. strong stand"

C. H. Cummings. past president oi the Mlnto Skating Club of Ottawa which rponsora Barbara. Ann. said that at- the time oi the proposed gift the Canadian Figure skating Association had wired skating authorities l}; both the United States and England, and the Canadian governing body had bccn satisfied. apparently. tl-at such s gift was proper.

Today's announcement by the executive committee of the Cana- dian Olympic Association, did not say flatly that Barbara Ann had been ordered to return the car or be ruled ineligible. '

Tile statement referred to a ictter from president Edstrom re- our-sting a report and then quoted from rule no. 3 of "Olympic rules" dealing with "regulations regard- ing amateur status."

"Participants who have received hit-hey presents or advantages of nitltcriai character shall not be ad- ml-ttcd to the Olympic Games.’

Acceptance of tho automobile "apparently comes under this rule." continued the statement

and Mrs. Scott was so notified at London. Hopes No Mlsunderstandlng

". . . .She stated that, as it was Barabra Ann's most cherished ambition to compete in the next Dlffmnlc Games and to preserve her amateur standing. immediate- ll‘ on her return to Ottawa she Would lake steps to return the automobile to the City of Ottawa, and she hoped I-Ils Worship the Mayor and the people of Ottawa would understand that in doing strshe thoroughly appreciated the srlrlt in which lt was given. and hhued no misunderstanding would ensue.“

The statement was issued with- out comment by tho commrttee after meeting several hours about a round-fable in the thickly- rnrpcled, exclusive Mount Roval Club at. Sherbrooke and Stanley Streets.

Just before it was llued. Bar- bara Ann bald at London she had been notified by president std- hcl’ Dawes of the Canadian body that if she wanted to be a mem- her oi the 1948 Canadian Olympic team she would have to return the car.
