The next will appear tomorrow.) By ALAN GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK. VPh-To help rt the proper perspective en the Olympic situation, currently surrounded by a great deal of agitation in the United States because of anti racial or sntl religions activities in. Germany, it Is essential at the outset to realize the following- facts: 1. The Olympic games will be held In Berlin next year, whether or not the; States- partici pates. 2.

The games already are assured a spectacular success, with more countries entered, more athletes slated to compete, and more tickets sold in advance f.or all sports than ever before. IThe International Olympic committee, composed mainly of outstanding men from countries critical of Germany, if not actually antagonistic to the Nazi regime, has approved holding "the ganies iTyJSci-lin aft rr making a closer study of athletic conditions than any other organization concerned with the international games. By Federation 4. The games will -be conducted, not by Nazi Germany, but by the international federations controlling the various sports on the Olympic calendar. Berlin furnishes the setting and the facilities, but in no way influences the program or the handling of competition.

It is also a fact that the United States officially has accepted the German invitation to compete, that elaborate organizing plans already have been mapped out and that the American Olympic committee is definitsly going ahead with its program, even though it is a house somewhat divided against itself for the time being. In short, there is every reason to believe that this country will send its, teams to Germany unless further developments or agitation take a more serious turn insofar as the American attitude is concerned. A Two-Sided Question Germany, as well as everyone else, realizes that the Olympic games without the United States would be a competitive joke, even though American absence might not affect the gate receipts. At the same time, nonparticipation would be a blow to this country's athletic prestige. Under existing or alleged conditions in Germany, it is debatable whether the United States would serve the cause of sporting democracy more by taking part -in or withdrawing from tie games, On the one hand, there are those who fr el strongly and honestly that German measures affecting Jews and Catholics are sufficiently discriminatory to warrant America's withdrawal.

This country, they contend, always has stood for fair play and equal opportunity, regardless of race, color or creed. They insist that the broad issues at stake justify our refusal to compete; specifically, that Germs ny has violated Olympic pleges by, not giving equal opportunity to Jewish or Catholic athletes at home. Opposed to this viewpoint are those -who believe Germany's internal, affairs, athletic or- otherwise, should not weigh critically in American plans; that there should be a clear differentiation between political agitation and sporting facts. Conceding discrimination against Jewish and Catholic athletes, at least indirectly, they regard this primarily as the concern of Germany or the International Olympic committee, not the United States. Fin all: ri4 practically, the -view is held tl At the best service the United State can give to world sport is to seal its best talent to Germany, withoi-t prejudice, and demonstrate athletia superiority once more.

WV-A Washington State team, which Hashed its power only on the offensive, rolled up six touchdowns in the first four quarters of a six period scrimmage session with Whitman here today.

Whitman showed no offensive threat, but at times repulsed the Washington attach. ACE-JOCKEY. IS fame MARK LONDON. (A) Gordon Richards, great little British jockey who set a world record in 1923 by riding 259 winners in a season, threatens to f'To to tJ r-nrjr pr'iin this lie ia very little behind his record breaking schedule. When he scored his 147th victory late in August he was only three behind his total on the same day of 1933.

As it is calculated Richards will have around S50 more mounts before the season closes, he is given at least a fighting chance of equaling his record. His admirers declare he is a much improved rider in the last two years. Mrs. Richards recently gave birth to twins on the same afternoon her husband was scoring two winners at Esth. One of them died the next day, when its father rode one THREE WAY GRID GAME IS BILLED HAMILTON, N.

If Buddy Meyer, Washington second baseman, finishes the season on top of the American league batters, President Clark Griffith will present him with a gold medal. The only other member of a Washington outfit ever to win the loop's batting honors was Goose Goslin, who annexed the title in 1923. PVVA CONSTRUCTION MUST BEGIN DEC. 15 December 15 has been set as the, deadline date for actual construction work to begin on all PWA projects, according to instructions received by radio from Washing-' ton today. Applying this deadline to Honolulu's low cost housing project, it would appear that land agreements must be made and allotment of money confirmed in Washington by October 1.

Also plans and specifications and transfer deeds should be completed and checked by the local PWA office in time to advertise for bids, as formerly instructed, by October 22. These moves are necessary, it is pointed out, in order that contracts may be awarded and actual construction work started by December 15.

The surprise of the content was the defensive play of the Rough-riders.

America's chances of retrieving the Ryder cup in the professional team classic at Ridge-wood the last of September were not noticeably improved when England chose the two veteran Whit-combes, Ernest and Reginald, to fill out its team. Both Ernest, 45, and Reginald, 37, have for the past four months played some of the most consistently hot golf to be found in this part of the world. Whichever, of Walt Hagen's forces encounters either of them in the singles will discover he has drawn a very exciting afternoon. They Wanted "Young Blood" The point is that both of them had to be playing superlative golf to force their way on the team captained by their brother Charles. There was a hue and cry for "young blood" on the British side.

and the selecters heard it. They dropped a double handful of the old guard at the outset and picked Tip a quartet-cf the-island's most promising young stars Burton, Busson, Cox and Jarmsn. Then, with two places still open, they started looking for more new-talent. Nobody thought much about the two "elderly Whitcombes. The team already had one member of the family, which usually is considered about par.

Besides, the eldest brother, Ernest, had played on Ryder cup teams back in 1927 and 1931, but had not been considered quite good enough for the side that won the trophy in 1933. Reginald had for years been considered a spanking good medal player, but never had done much in hand to hand combat. He holds 10 course records in England and Scotland. That was how things stood when the two "leftover" Whitcombes began taking their professional colleagues apart. Week after week one or the other of them won some sort of tournament or came so close it wasn't funny.

Things finally reached the point where the selectors had to take on two more Whitcombes or tell somebody the reason why. They decided to base their selections on two tournaments, the Irish open and the assistant professi6nals event. That appeared to afford them a reasonable "out" on the epidemic of Whitcombes. It did. Ernest and Reginald calmly got together and tied for first place at the close of 72 holes in the Irish open.

Then they played it off and big brother Ernest won. The assistants' tournament was forgotten. So. it comes about that the "young" British team which will sail for America on September 14 isn't so young after all. The inclusion of Ernest and Reginald -boosts the squad's average age well over its previous 31 years.

Ernest will be the oldest player on either side, and Busson, who is only 23, the youngest. Thomas Edwards Of Kaneohe Dies 1 Funeral arrangements will be made Monday, for Thomas Edwards, retired horticulturist, who died early today at Kaneohe at the age of 85 years.

Edwards leaves behind him many friends who loved him.

Until his retirement 13 years ago, he was active in horticultural experiment' work in, Honolulu, his heme for approximately 55 years. Several years ago, sensing that his life was nearicg. its end, Mr. Edward3 went to the Borthwick Undertaking telling them that upon his death he wished to be cremated, his ashes to be scattered at the foot of a certain tree in Makiki forest. That wish will be carried Mr.
