- Athletic Director R. L. Browne of Southwestern Louisiana Institute will leave during the week-end for Jackson, Mississippi, where he will attend a meeting of the executive committee of the S. I. A. A.
Director Browne is back from New Orleans where he was present at a meeting of the Southern A. A. U. meeting. He stated today that one of the steps taken at this meeting was adoption of a resolution, voted unanimously, opposing participation by the United States in the Olympic Games in Germany. This move, he added, was based on the actions which the Hitler government has taken against Catholics and Jews and in same instances Protestants. - History Unfolded Contributor
