The President requested Mr. Reichel to reply to the address of Mr. Bonnat.

11. Opening of the A,ssembly by the President.

The President opened the Congress by addressing the Assembly as follows: GENTLEMEN:

Since we met in Antwerp last year comparatively little has occurred within the athletic world. The Hon. Secretary and myself have had communications with all of you. Congresses of great importance will take place within the next few days at Lausanne. The Council will put before you the proposals as to our standing to the various questions regarding these Congresses.

Regarding the relations with the International Olympic Committee, I am glad to notify you that said relations are developing in the most friendly way. Your President has been elected member of said Committee and has ascertained that in future the influence of our Federation on the Olympic Games will be a strong one.

The motion of the Council was unanimously adopted.

IX. Proposed Modifications in the Athletic Rules and Regulations.

Proposed modifications in the a!hletic rules were submitted by the Rules CommIttee. Mr. ChaIrman of the Committee moved that the report be consIdered the next day (May 28) that the rules be carefully considered, on account of the many important changes proposed.

The Congress took Mr. Rubien's advice and adopted his propositions.

I,

X. World's Athletic Records.

Acting on the motion made by Mr. Rubien, Chairman of the Records Committee, the Congress decided to defer this matter until May 28.

7 XI. Proposed Modifications in the Amateur Statutes.

Congress adopted the proposition of the Council. .amateur statutes drawn up by the Special Committee at 111 held good since. These statutes are rigId, but tHe CounCIl consIdering it necessary to maintain very rigid rules for amateur sport, proposed that Congress adopt anew this statute without alteration.

If proof be given that one of the national federations has not observed the amateur statutes, the International Federation will make, after inquiry, the necessary remonstrance to the faulty federation.

Mr. Merrick asked that the national federations be invited to apply in their own countries the amateur statutes of the Internationa! as soon as possible..

President proposed that thIs .questIOn be put off for exammabon the same evening and submItted anew to the Congress the next day (May 28) with ' the advice of the Council.

The Congress adopted the proposition of the President.

XII. Invitation to send Delegates to a Congress of the Union

Cycliste Internationale.

The Council received an invitation from the Union Cycliste [nternationale to send two delegates to a Congress to be held at Lausanne 31 and.

1, 1921. Twenty of the leading liport federatIOns were mVIted to send delegates. The object of the .Congress .was to form a Union of International Sport Fed.. Article 3 ?,f the. proposed states the object of saId Umon to be: ProvIde mutual assIstance for the various or unions affiliated; to create 'bands of lastmg frIendshIp between them, thereby increasing the influence' of lastly, to. consid.er the question of promotmg great 111ternatlOnal events, 111 particular world's championships in each sport, and the taking part in Olympic games."

The Council was in doubt whether such an organization was needed. The Union would include a number of sports which are excluded from the Olympic Games, such as automobile sport and aeronautic sport, and also includes purely professional sports, such as the International Boxing Union. The Council finds it difficult. to these extreme interests together. The CouncIl thought It deSIrable, however, that the Federation be represented at the Congress and appointed its President and Hon. Secretary as delegates. It asked the Congress to confirm this decision and election.

After a long discussion, in which the President, Messrs. Merrick, Reichel, Friman, Barclay, Longoni, Genet, Suter

and Stankovitz took part Congress decided on the motion of President to put off question for investigation by a special committee composed of the President and Messrs. Genet, Merrick and Friman. This commission to report to the Congress on the next day (May 28).

before the Council proposals regarding the international jury, the field, referees, etc. The committee will be composed of members of the Council of the International Federation and the games will be conducted by this Committee, designating officials, etc.

See Rules 1 and 2. Events are open to men only.

XIII. Invitation to the Olympic Congress (of Lausanne), I un, 2 to 7, 1921.

Proposals for the Olympic Games.

Mr. Rubien read the programme that the Rules Committee had drawn up. (See pages 16 to 20.)

A motion of Mr. Merrick, that the number of participants in the Marathon Race be brought back to four, like the other individual competitions, was defeated by 7 to 5.

A discussion arose about Walking. The President explained that the International Olympic Committee wished to see it struck from the programme. The Rules Committee proposed to strike off 3,000 meters and keep the 10,000 meters walk. Mr. Longoni, seconded by Mr. Furstnow, accepted the report of the kules Committee, but demanded the addition of the Marathon Walk.

The propositions of the Committee were finally adopted.

Mr. Reichel proposed the elimination of the 56-pound weight.

The vote was a tie, 6 to 6, and President Edstrom cast the deciding vote to please the International Olympic Committee, who wished to shorten the programme. The Congress decided to drop the 56-pound weight event from the Olympic programme.

The Commission was divided on the subject of whether to keep or do away with the Tug-of-War, and asked the Congress to decide.

Mr. Reichel, seconded by Mr. Kirby, proposed to drop it, and the Congress agreed.

Apart from these exceptions, the proposed program was accepted.

Mr. Merrick proposed to adopt without discussion the daily programme proposed by the Committee, bearing in mind the elimination of two events. The Congress adopted this motion.

Mr. Rubien, as Chairman of the Rules Committee, read and explained each of the Athletic Rules, corrections and amendments embodied in the rules as herein printed. President Edstrom called for a vote on each rule.

The international situation is somewhat different from that of last year. Austria has been admitted as a member of the League of Nations. Hungary and Turkey probably will be admitted at the September¡ meeting of the League. The German athletes have in no way. tried to push themselves forward. They are patiently waiting f.or the time to come when they will be able to meet the athletes, of the. world. Under these circumstances the

The International Olympic Committee invited the Federation to send two delegates to the Olympic Congress at Lausanne, to be held June 2-7, 1921. At this Congress .of the of Olympic programme were proposed, espeCially with the shortening the programme. Thus it was pr?posed to do entirely away with shooting, yachting, lawn tenms, football and the optional sports. Regarding the athletic programme it was proposed to us to lessen our programme by eliminating walking and tugof-war.

The Olympic Committee asked us to send tw<? delegates. At the unofficial Congress held at Antwerp we deCided to ask f.or five delegates. In consideration of important part of ?-thletlcs in the Olympic programme, the PreSident of the OlympiC Committee Blaron de Coubertin was inclined to allow us five delegates, 'but as most of the other federations claimed five, at:Jd as this would aa-ain demand numerous alteratIOns of other detatls in the Olyml?ic t:> our after !"taving conferred with the leadmg offiCials of the SWlmmmg, Cychng and Amateur Boxing Federations, decided to, acce.pt only two delegat.es.. The Council supported the President s actIOn. The Congress IS tnvlted to settle that the Federation takes part in the Olympic Congress and send two delegates there. Our President asked the CO!-ll1cil not to name him, because, as a member of the Intemab0!lal Olympic Committee, he already has a seat at the Congress. 1 he Council, therefore, proposed two names to be on the following day. Mr. Merrick moved to 3iccep! the mVltat!on and await appointment of before diSCUSSion of. questIOn..

Committee As has been previously pomted proposes the omission of the competitIOns m W Tugof-War to be reported upon by the Rules Committee.

Other proposals by the Committee embrace a daily programme for Olympic Games.. Also special rules regarding the selection of heats 111 the r.unmng events and other co .petitions and the number of entnes and In order t? be carefully provided for the.

OlympIC. Games the Council proposed that a special commlssl0!1' be appotnted to. take charge of the athletic part of the OlympIC Games, and which shall put

Council did not think it necesary that any special steps should be taken against the athletes of the Central Powers. This al.so because some of the Allied Powers, such as Czecho-Slovakla, Jugo-Slavia and Italy even wish to compete with the Central Powers. Also the neutrals wish to do so.

The Council proposed, therefore, to-pass over the question without any discussion.

The Congress adopted the Council's proposition, France's representatives abstaining from voting.

Concerning the second proposition of the Spanish member of the Federation (institution of a universal medal), the Council proposed to the Congress .to reject this motion.

For these two propositions, the Congress adopted the motion of the Council.

XVI. Propositions submitted to the Congress by the Council. (a) An application blank for admission as member of the Federation, presented by Mr. Reiehe1, was adopted by the Congress. It will also have to be signed by the present members of the Federation. (See Page 62.)

An application blank for record presented by Mr. Reichel, was adopted.

A proposition of the Council asking that a list of officials (starters, timers, judges, etc.) for international and Olympic Games be established and adopted.

The Council proposes that the expenses of athletes traveling to attend international games never be paid to them directly, but always through the Federations. This proposition was adopted.

The following proposition was adopted: The I.A.A.F. very positively asked that its members take all necessary measures to expel temporarily or for life those managers or athletes who by any machinations aim at violating the sporting regulations and especially at circumventing the rules adopted for the dennition of an amateur. (b) Sweden, through Mr. Friman, withdrew her proposition. (c) Bty Spain. Reduction of rates in hotels and on railroads. (d) By Spain. A universal medal.

Senor Lafhe of Spain proposed that the Federation should take measures to serve the interest of international sport by trying to obtain for the athletes reduced fares on railroads and in hotels all over the world. This proposition is very important.

The National Federations have tried to obtain these advantages, but only with discouraging results. If united efforts are made it is possible that they will more successful. Because of the financial and political uncertamty of the present hour, the Council suggested that the time is not favorable to such a demand and proposed to postpone the question until the next Congress.

XVII. Election of the Council.

Mr. Merriek proposed that the Council should present, to be elected at the sitting of May 28, the name of a member of the Council to replace a resigned member. This proposition was adopted.

XVIII. Election of Special Commissions.

The 'Congress decided to ask the Council to present propositions for these Commissions.

The programme of the day not being completed, the meeting adjourned until May 28, at 10 A. M., in the same place.

May 28, 1921.

Adjourned meeting.

The President, after having opened the meeting, proposed the discussion of the articles left pending the day before.

Article l2-Invitation to a general congress of the sport federation of the world by the International Cycle Union.

The following report of the Commission entrusted with the study of this question, read by Mr. Genet, Chairman of the Committee, was adopted and its conclusions given as instr\lctions to the delegates of the Federation of the. Congress mentioned.

Preparatory to presenting the invitation of the U.F.I.S. to the General Conference of the LA.A.F., the Council of the Federation carefully examined the proposal and objects of the u'F.I.S. and could not see what additional advantage to ama:teur sport could be obtained through the plan outlined.

It is already conceded that the Olympic Games programme furnishes an opI,>Ortunity at certain definite periods to decide the world's athletIC championships.

Under the fostering influence of the Olympic Games movement international sports governing bodies have been organized and enlarged. In most cases they have practically covered the whole world in their membership in particular sports. They have also devised machinery to determine their international contests and have already established their applications considering the reasons set forth above.

12 The Congress decides' that the I.A.A.F. could only become a member of an association composed solely of amateur federations, but out of courtesy to the promoters designated their President and Mr. Rubien to attend the conference.

The proposition of the Council to send as delegates to this Congress Mr. Edstrom and Rubien (with Mr. Kirby as substitute) was adopted.

Article 13-Resuming the decision taken at the Congress the previous day. the Council proposed to send as delegates to the Olympic Congress for: (1) A demand for the elimination of rifle shooting and yachting.

(2) A demand for the admission of Rugby football among the Olympic sports.

(3) A demand for the elimination of all other optional sports.

The Swiss Federation submitted a resolution concerning the attributions and composition of the International Olympic Committee.

The President declined the discussion of this resolution, which is outside the attributions of the Congress.

Article I9-Mr. F. W. Rubien presented the report of the Rules Committee, over which he presides, concerning the amendments proposed. (See Athletic Rules, pages 21 to 49, as finally adopted.)

A resolution of the Dutch Federation tending to amend the jumping rules in certain imperfect conditions was rejected.

The report of the Rules Committee was adopted without change.

Mr. Franz Reichel presented a plan for the classification of the "Decathlon," which was handed to the Rules Committee to be examined and submitted to the next Congress.

The Congress decided that the regulations adopted at the present Congress concerning athletic rules, become effective on January 1, 1922.

Article IO-Records. The Commission proposed, and the Congress decided, that the decimal tenth be the only fraction of. a second accepted for records.

The list of world's records (new and old) proposed by the Commission, was adopted with the exception of walking rpcords, and those of the Achilles' Club team on two miles relay, which were sent back to the committee with power for fu,ther decision.

13 Article ll-Mr. Merrick submitted the following proposition: "The nations are invited. to accept the amateur regulations of the Federation and to consider them as theirs. This definition can be discussed and such¡ restrictions as thought to be necessary by the National Federations can be considered."

This proposition, after being examined, was sustained by the Council and adopted by the Congress.

The Congress, discussing the motion presented by Mr. Reichel, by which the Amateur Federations could alone control and represent the professional athletic sports, suggested that: "There is no reason for the Amateur Federations to concern themselves with professional sports, that it is even desirable that none of these organizations should have anything to do with the so-called professional sports; and, therefore, decides: That all rings, grounds and organizations of the Amateur Federations will be forbidden to professional contests."

Article I7-Election of the Council.

Mr. Merrick, seconded by Mr. Rpbien, proposed that: (1) The Council be elected to hold office until after the date of the next Olympic Games.

(2) That Mr. Tisseau be elected Assistant Secretary of the Federation.

(3) That thanks be voted to Mr. Tisseau for accepting, upon the spur of the moment, 1l,J.e position of Secretary of the Congress.

Those propositions were adopted.

The Council proposed that the Congress meet immediately before and immedIately after the next Olympic Games. Adopted.

Mr. Reichel (France) proposed that Mr. J. S. Edstrom be re-elected as President, and Mr. H. Kjellman as Secretary.

This proposition, seconded by Mr. Barclay and Mr. Rubien, was adopted unanimously.

Mr. Merrick proposed, seconded by Mr. Friman, that the four retiring members of the Council be re-elected. Adopted.

The President read a letter of Mr. Max Kahn, who resigned and asked to be replaced by a delegate from Belgium. The President explained the reasons why tne Council prefers to an Italian or Belgian representative, the delegate from Canada, Mr. Merrick, because of his high technical l.<nowledge.

A center tape shall be affixed to the center of the rope, and six feet on each side of the center tape a side tape shall be affixed to the rope. A center line shall be marked on the ground, and six feet on each side of the center line a side line parallel thereto. At the start the rope shall be taut and the center tape shall be over the center line and the competitors outside the side lines. During no part of the pull shall the rope be tied or in any way crossed by the anchor man, nor shall he wilfully place either hand on the ground. (b) In all Tug-of-War Competitions there shall be one Judge and two Inspectors who shall be responsible for seeing that the rules are properly carried out. The Judge shall start the competition by word of mouth and take charge of the center and the side lines, and give effect to the result of any pull by blowing a whistle. The Inspectors shall take charge of the teams and see that members of such teams do not wilfully touch the ground with any part of the body other than the feet, and report to the Judge any infringement of this rule.

It shall be in the discretion of the Judge to disqualify the offending team and award the pull in question to the opposing side, or he may disqualify the offending team from the competition. A pull shall be won when one team shall have pulled the side tape of the opposing side over their own side line, or if any portion of the foot of any competitor of the opposing side goes beyond the center line. In the event of both teams leaving go of the rope before either side has pulled the side tape of the opposing side over their own side line, the pull shall be declared no pull and shall not constitute one of the requisite number of pulls. No competitor shall make any hole in the ground with his feet, or in any other way, before the start. In all competitions confined to certain weights two Clerks shall be appointed wh6 shall be responsible to the Judge for the correct weighing of the competitors before the

Article 3 of the proposed Rules states the object of this Union in the fgl10wing terms :-" To bring together for mutual help the different International Federations or Unions; to crente II bond of lasting friendship between them, in order to incl'euse the inl1uellce of each adhcl'ent body; lastly, to consider the possibility of promoting great international events-notnbly"'wodd IS chumpionships in c:.lch sport ami participation in the Q!ym·plads." , The Coullcil was in doubt whethel' nn Ol'gnnisntion of this kind was necessat:Y. The Union would include 11 certain nUlllllt'r of sports which arc excluded from the programme of the Olympic Games, for example, Aeronautics and hlotoring, and would, moreover, incllJde professional sports, such as boxing, represented by the International Union. The Council considered that it would be extremely difficult to reconcile interests so diverse, At . the same time, the Council thought it desirable that the Federation should be represented at the said Congress, and hnd selected as delegates the President and the Secretary. The Council asked the Congress to confirm this decision, and the election of these two delegates.

I After a long discussion, in which the President, Messrs, Merrick, Reichel, Friman, Barclay, Rubien, LOIlf!oni, Genet, Suter and Stankovits took part. the Congress decided, on the prdposal of the President, to refer the question for consideration to :a special Committee composed of Messrs. Genet (president), Me'rrick and. Friman. This Committee would submit 'its recommendation to the Congress on the next day (28th May),

The President having opened the mcctmg, proposed the <lIscussion of the Articles lert 0\'(:" f\'Om the previous day.

All the memhers Ilresent on the previous day were in .attendance.

I11'vitatioJ1 by I.C.V. The following repol·t of the Commiltee to consider this question was read by Mon, Genet, (Chairman of the Committee), and was adopted; its conclusions were be re.garded as instructions to the !JeIegatcs to thc Congress m questIOn. Preparatory to p"csenting the invitations of the V.F.r.S. to the General Conference of the I.A.A.F. the Council of the FeJe'ration carefully examined the proposal anu objects of the U.F.I.S. and could not see what ar.hlitional advnlltage to amateur .sport could be obtained thr-otlgh the plan outHned.

It is already conceded that the Olympic Games programme furnishes an opportunity at certain definite periods to decrae the world's Athletic -championships.

Under the fostering influence of the Olympic Games movement international sports governing bodies have becn organised and enlarged. In most cases they have practically covered tl]e whole world in their membership in particular sports. They have also devised machinery to determine their international -t:ontests nnd have alread,y established thcir applications con· sidering the reasons set forth above.

The ,Congress decides that the LA.A.F. could only become a member of an association composed solely of Amateur Federations, but Ollt of courtesy to the promoters have dcsignated tlieir President and Mr. Rllbien to attcnd the Conference.

J'he pr-oposal of the Council to send, as delegates ,to this -Congress Messrs. Edstrom 'and Rubien, with l1r. Kit'by as .substitute, was confirmed. !

This proposal, :dtP!" fresh considerntioll, was supported by the .

Council aJl(1 adopted by the Congress.

Regarding the motion presented by M. Reichel that the: Amateur Federation should have sole power to control antI l'epresenl proressional athletes, the Congress was of the opiniolll that: to accept and :Idopt

There is no reaSon why the Amateur Federations should interest themselves in professional sport and it is undesirable that organisations should concern themselves in any way with professional span. The Congress therefore decides that tracks-. grounds and organisations of Amateur Federations should be barred to professional meetings.

ARTICLE 17 (Coll/illued).

Mr. l\Iet'rick, seconded by 1\'11'. Rubien, proposed;1. That the Council be elected up to a date subsequent to lhe next Olympic Games.

2. That M. Tisse<}u be elected Assistant Secretary to Federation.

3. That a vote of thanles be accorded to M. Tisseau for having acted, at very short notice, as Secretary to the Congress.

These proposals ,were adopted, The Council proposed that the Congn.·ss should meet immediately before and immediately aftel' the next Olympic Games, This proposal was adopted, M.

Seconded by Mr. Friman and adopted, The President read a letter from M, l\fax Kahn tendering his resignation and asking to be replaced by a Belgian delegate.

The President explained that the Council would prefer Mr. Merrick, the Canadian delegate. to an Italian or Belgian sentative, because of his hi,:{h technical efficiency. The proposal was adopted, and Mr. Merrick elected, The Council is, therefore, constituted as follows;J. S. Edstrom. p,csident.

As it is not :l]lproprialt· for tile !\malc'\1I' Ft'uprntionf> to occupy themselves with professional sJlorts, it is desirable that none of their organisations be placed at disposal of professToll.al sports, and consequently it is decided: that the arenas, grounCls nnd organisations of the Amafeur Fedel'ntions shoultl be closed to professional matches.
