Poge 3
Olympics:
Officials
Expedient,
Not Fair
By WALT SWITZER
' Guest Sports Writer
Avery Brundage and his fellow
Olympic officials last week saved
themselves from being the ill wind
that blows no good.
Many sports fans were calling
for replacement of amateur ath
letic officials after- they placed
a ban on any further amateur com
petition by this country's top miler
Wes Santee.
But last week Wes was forgotten
as the Olympic tryout officials con
sented to let Dave Simc and Bud
Held compete in events for which
they had failed to qualify.
Held, the United States's leading
javeline thrower, with srtop mark
of 268 plus ft., has been suffering
from several injuries the past few
weeks.
Sime, who qualified for the 100
meters tryouts, prilled a leg mus
cle during: the 200 meter race in
the NCAA meet and failed to qua!
ify. Sime had broken all existing
records for the 220 yard dash this
spring.
The only question raised now is
that if the athletes are forced to
bide by the rules, how can the
officials see fit to over-ride their
own rules?
Of course everyone wants to see
the U.S. represented by the best
team poaaibl. And yet. is it fair
to the other contestants who had
- to see that they were ia top shape
to qualify. The fact remains that
they participated in- the NCAA,
AAU and Allr Service meet know
ing that they had to finish "in
the money' to advance to the try
outs.
Ia the fianl analysis, consider
ing the testimony of those who say
that Santee ia sot the only athlete
guilty of accepting more money
than the officials allow, and the
possible excuses of other besides
Sime and Held who failed to qual
ify, it seems that the action of the
amateur officials points clearly at
giving favcv to some and turning
against others.
However, all this will be for
gotten if the U.S. continues to dom
in ate the track and field portions
of the Olympics.
Gardner Tells
Greater Need
Of Geography
There Is a need for more instruc
tion ki geography not only for
those who will become airline em
ployees but for all students since
men are now living ia the air age
together.
This belief was expressed at a
University Air Age Education
workshop Tuesday by Geor e
Gardner, superintendent of edu
cational services for Pan Ameri
can World Airway.
In discussing global geography,
Gardner pointed out that important
air routes of the future are bound
to cross over the Arctic because
that offers the shortest distance
between important traffic points.
Gardner said there are six fac
tors which have made long-range
flight possible. These are: (1) use
of multiple engine planes; (2) im
provement in design of planes and
engines; (3) fuel conservation; (4)
taking advantage of the winds;
(5) navigation Jjy dead reckoning,
celestial navigation and radio
guidance; and (6) the engineering
formula, HowgozSt, for charting a
flight in terms of distance covered
and fuel used. " . I
