Formed in America New York, May 9.
The American Olympic Committee, in operation for the past 20 years, has adopted a new name and a new function, Representatives of 64 sports groups organized the United States of America Sports Federation, in order to gain jurisdiction over U.S, participation in the First Pan-American Games, scheduled to be held at Buenos Aires in November, 1942, A constitution for the new body, prepared in advance, was adopted without a dissenting vote, In essence, the organization will be the same self-perpetuating organization as the American Olympic Association, but with broader powers, The only major change provides that, instead of exercising its functions through the American Olympic Committee, it will operate through two similar committees, one to govern Olympic participation and one for the Pan-American Games, Avery Brundage of Chicago, Joseph E, Raycroft, of Princeton, N.J, and Gustavus Town Kirby, and Frederic Rubien of New York hold the principal offices.—Reuter,
