In addition to being known as the sharped-tongued spokesman of the Japanese Foreign Office, Mr. Eiji Amau to-day loomed as a potential reformer of the rules in aquatic competition.
In a modern version of the old adage that a prophet often goes unnoticed among his own people, Mr. Amau to-day found that be bad been catapulted into the head-. lines of American sports maga- zines, when the same idea, writ- ten and printed by a Japanese publication under his name, had failed to arouse even the mildest interest.

HILE this winter's indoor track and field WH
campaign has dropped a few hints that fire- works may be expected in the Olympic Games and the preliminaries next summer, it takes a thorough survey of the record books to show how much speed and strength the United States should have on hand.
Since the 1932 Games at Los Angeles, when most of the present Olympic standards were established, a concerted attack upon the world records has brought better performances in near- ly every Olympic event.
Considering only those performances since 1932 which have
been officially accepted as world records, the Olympic figures have
been surpassed in the 200-metre dash, 1,500-metre run. 110-metre and 400-metre hurdles, high jump, broad jump, pole vault, and shot put, by American athletes, while the 100-metre and 800- metre marks have been equalled. In addition, several better- than-Olympic performances have not yet received official recogni- tion.
