BRITISH SPORT.
OLYMPIC ASSOCIATION.
A GOOD YEAR
(Reuter’s Telegram.) (Received March 2, 1 p.m.) LONDON, March L
At the annual meeting of the British Oympic Association, Lord Gadogan, the chairman, stated the association had never before had so strong and stable a year. It- finished with a balance of £1458. The association had gained strength owing to the policy of entertaining teams from the Dominions. The historic luncheon in honor of the AllBlacks was an example of what unity and combination in sport could do, indicating the possibilities ahead if the association were able to gather into its fold every one of the governing bodies of sport in Britain. He declared that the Olympic Games were far too ponderous, unwieldly, and -cosily. Drastic steps must be taken to reduce the programme to enable every country to have an equal chance. The council had been engaged in ascertaining the views of the governing bodies in that respect, and a precis of those views had been forwarded to the international Olympic Committee, which would review them at the congress at Prague next- May.
