THE OLYMPIC GAMES OF 1916.

PREPARATIONS IN AMERICA.

CONTINUOUS MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

There is undoubtedly a tendency in American athletics to overdo things, and this in part accounts for the new faces at the Olympic Games every four years, It is a noticeable fact that only two members of the Olympic team of 1908 competed again in 1912. Too many American athletes go stale after a low years. The prizes offered at the athletic Amateur sport is taken much more

MR. PREDERIC HARRISON'S SHARP CRITICISM.

The appeal for England to be represented by her hest £100,000 to enable athletes at the Berlin Olympic Games in 1010 is meeting with severe criticism in many quarters. Among the latest critics is Mr. Frederic Harrison, who writes. severely in the Timex :-

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE COMPETITIONS, The American amateur athleto begins his preparation to compete in future Olympic Games when little more than a duld in the schools. The workings of the Public Schools Athletic League of New York City give a fair example of the beginnings.

This strenuous competition in school and college days, which is always going on and which seems to be getting stronger with each succeeding year, explains why there is no need for special preparation for the Olympic Games in the past, and what will probably be done in the future, was to hold a series of games in different sections of the country about two months before the Games, and then to send the best men from these meetings to compele against each other shortly before the great contest
