The selected athletes will live, during their stay abroad, in the steamship cabins, as accommoda- tions for the athletes next year will be vastly improved over those of the United States participants at the Paris Olympic Games, during which this country's athletes, due to the presence in France of many tourists, lived in uncomfortable quarters.
