THE AMATEUR - Definition

Some facetious wag said the only difference between a professional

and an amateur was that the amateur would take a check.

With no desire to be as facetious as these other wags but having
the same second guessing privilege as the athletic minded, we
are offering President Avery Brundage of the A.A.U. a left-
handed suggestion which might have prevented a very serious
embarrassment in A.A.U. circles last summer. This, of course,
pertains to the much discussed Eleanor Holm Jarrett incident on

the S.S. Manhattan.

Both Glenn Cunningham and Ralph Metcalfe of the Olympic Track Team
declared that there were too many A.A.U. managers abroad. We
would suggest that Brundage should have employed the large extra
supply of free trip traveling A.A.U. managers as bartenders on

the S.S. Manhatten. With this great group of team managers on

the job at the bar-room Eleanor Holm Jarrett would not have had

a chance to have gotten near the bar for her so-called over in-

dulgences.
