Rationing Made British Team Apathetic
Received Alondav, 7 p.m. LONDON, August 16". In a letter in tlie Times, Sir AdnJplnAbrahani^ wlio has been closely connected wrth the training and prejtara tiOn of British teams for the lust six Olympic Games, says he detected in this year's representatives, iu striking contrast to their jiredecessors, an apathv and lack of enthusiasm. Sn Adolplie says he eonsiders the war and its consequeuces ean be blamed for some of these detkiencies to a not incojisiderable extent. "1 think tlm dietitians have erred through over simplification," lie says. "Mere nutr: tion, -that is to sav, calorie value and adequate vitimins, is not the whole of the matter. The monotonv, the coniparativelv uninteresting and unpalat able meals, must have an effect upon a highly strung athlete who experts, in his training, varietv and liberality with freedom from any such preoccu pations as food rationing has imposed."
