This state of affairs is not ex- actly to the liking of a great any hockey followers and playez of’ junior age.

Very little effort has been made to get a junior league going in later years. Why?

Olympic Games To Be Held Whether U. S. Competes Or Not

B! ERNEST G. FISCHER.

S’I‘. MORITZ, Switzerland, Aug. lklé-Pl-Siuusslna oir emphatic warnings of United States boycott, the Swiss Olympic Committee to- day accepted the entry of the American H o c k e y Associations squad for the winter Olympics and continued preparations for the Jan. lid-Feb. i) games.

After a four-hour executive ses- sion ending early this morning, the Swiss-Olympic Committee rul- ed in favor of the ‘A. H. A. over the entry of the United States Amateur Athletic Union, official representative o! the U. S.O.C.

“The action is irrevocable," the Swiss group said, adding that the international Olympic Committee could not intercede since the is- sues had been decided in accord- 111108 with Olympic rules.

The International Ccmmittee is to convene here Jan. 28-29 to con- sidcr any last-minute problems before the games.

The decision was based on the A.ll.A.'s membership in the Int- ernational ice Hockey Federation. The A.A.U. is not a member. The committee declared that under the rules of the International Olympic Committee only members of the International Federation would be invited to participate in the games.

The ruling brought a firm pro- test from Avery Brundagc, chair- man of the U.S.O.C.. who reiter- ated a threat to withdraw the other United States teams from ihr» winter games.

Brunclngifs (‘criinlittce has sorted that. the A.1I.A. is fessioznilLv-taintccl."

(“There is no change in our plans.“ Brundugc declared in Chl- cugo. "We contend that the Olym- pic rulcs stale that. foams must be vutorcd by Nuliuuul Clyunplc Com- millros. We will not outer un A. l-LA, loan). ‘The U.S.0.0. has cnicrcd a hockey team but the players arc yet to be urunccl from N.C.A.A. (National College Ath- letic Association) and A. A. U. ranks. As far as our committee is concerned this will be the official United States entry."

(The deadline for filing entries to the games was last Saturday midnight.

(Despite the Swiss O.C.‘s declar- nilon that the A.H.A.'s accept- zinrc was “finul,", Bruudagc de- vlziri-d "we don't think thcyllplav. If they do our looms uill go some place clsc. It's possible lhcrc might be cumpotilion of some kiiul some place clscfi‘)
