UNITED STATES OLYMPIC TEAM
LACKS EXPER.IENCED ATHLETES'
On account of the fact that no
Olympic games were held in 1916, the
United States . delegation will go to
Antwerp next summer, with hardly a
half dozen men who have had previ-
ous Olympic game experience. Nearly
all the men who aided 'in scoring
America's great victory at Stockholm
in 1912 have given up competition al-
together. This is true of all but
three of the champions. The only men
who are now in active competition are
some of the younger men who were
just beginning to develop in 1912 and
three of New York's policeman weight
throwers.
