EMPIRE ATHLETES
MATCH WITH UNITED STATES PROPOSED AT CONCLUSION OF PARIS OLYMPIC GAMES (Rec. August 15, 5.5 p.m.) London, August 14. The British Olympic Association is endeavouring to arrange a match between the United States and the British Empire ahtletes at Wembley at the conclusion of the Paris Olympic Games. Lord Cadogan, chairman of the association, suggests that such a meeting would form a fitting finale to the great athletic year, and he was sure it would be welcomed by thousands of the Dominions’ people present at the Empire Exhibition. The United Kingdom and the Dominions would compete at the Olympic Games as separate countries, but in the proposed match the full athletic strength of the Empire would be represented. He hoped it would cover almost the whole fold of sport. Alombers of the American Olympic Committee, who were recently in England, are in entire accord with the suggestion, and are confident that it would be received enthusiastically in the United States.—Aus.-N.Z.
