Olympic Gym Chatter
Attending the May 1 final Olympic gym tryouts will be Avery
Brundage, president of the United States Olympic Association, who
came under fire of critics as a result of the winter hockey mix-up at
St. Moritz, Switzerland.
Nittany Gymnattics Coach Gene Wettstone discounts verbal
broadsides aimed at Brundage by saying, "He has spent thousands of
dollars out of his own pocket to
promote and maintain the Olym
pic spirit."
To help Lion fans gain an in
sight into Olympic operations be
tore they witness final gymnastic
tryouts May 1, we print the com
plete text of a release from
George L. Gardner, assistant to
President Brundage.
CONTRIBUTIONS DEDUCTIBLE
Contributions to . the United
States Olympic Committee now
are deductible by the donors for
Federal income tax purposes. The
ruling, approved recently by the
Commissioner of Internal Reve

year endeavor to settle the ques
tion.
The United States Olympic
Committee is dependent entirely'
upon public support for funds to
carry on its activities administer
ing, supervising and financing
this country's participation in the
Olympic Games, to be held this

14.
Virtually all the work for the
(Xympic Committee is done on a
voluntary basis and all of the offi
cers and executives serve without
remuneration. There is only one

games committees, the coaches,
managers, trainers, official s and
all persons having anything to do
with the Games, serve without
any pay.

Olympic Games, approximately
$323,000, show s that roughly 56
Per cent came from contributions,
24 per cent from the final try
outs, 117 per cent from various
benefits and meets, and 3 per cent
from post-Olympic meets.
USOC FINANCES
Money received by the USOC is
expended primarily in financing
