JUNIOR OLYMPICS ADVOCATED BY U.S.

London, November 21.

The United States would, it is reported, like to sco the staging of a junior Olympics to be held every four years like the Olympic Games. This suggestion' has not met with wide support `in British sporting circles, where it is felt that hard competition between youths would ultimately do more harm than good. While in Britain in horse-racing, horses ore raced from carly in their career, much to their de- triment, according to many critics, the human race is given considerable time to develop and 100 much junior competition is frowned upon.

Promising young athletes are often ruined in their school days by being over-raced in the view of many athlete of tigials, and it is the policy of the British Amatrus Athletic Association to see, as far as it is in their power, that prome- ing athletes are brought along slowly and carefully.

English Readers In Favour Of Paper Without Sports

London, November 21. Sports editors in Britain and large numbors of the British sporting public had a great shock last wook when they saw the result of the vote taken by the "Daily Express," the nation's largest daily newspaper, of its readers as:to whether they were in favour of abolishing the sports' page. More than 60 per cent were in favour of doing away with it and having a newspaper without any sport in it. "Unbelievable" was the comment of one Fleet Street sports editor. Others took the view that Just 06 American polls had proved completely false in the recent American election, this poll was equally unreliable. much to believe It seems too
