JAPAN EXPECTS TO SWEEP SWIMMING BOARD

IN SPITE OF ABSENTEES

HEIYO MARU ARRIVING WITH TEAMS

EARLY DEPARTURE ENDS

OF SUSPENSE

WEEKS

With their ranks slightly depleted by four last- minute withdrawals, Japan's Far Eastern Olympic athletes and officials, numbering 164, are approaching the Philip- pines on the chartered steamer Heiyo Maru.

Thus ends weeks of turmoil over the issue of ad- mission of Manchukuo and suspense over how the so-called patriotic agitation would weaken the bearers of the hopes of the Rising Sun.

Under a strong polico escort to prevent further assaults by boodlums, they motored from Koshien, near Osaka, and boarded ship.

Three athletes joined Shuhei Nishida and Shizo Takata in withdrawing as a patriotie gesture, but they were declared not to be connected with the Manchukuo issue which threatened for a time to keep Japan out of the games entirely.

The severest last-minute Joss meeting of representatives of local i was that of Chuhei Mambu, the clubs and associations, held at the world champion jumper who was a V.R.C. last evening.
