THE OLYMPIC GAMES
APPLICATIONS FOR TICKETS PROCEDURE ANNOUNCED BY COMMITTEE Rec. 9 p.m. LONDON, Dec. 4. The Organising Committee for the Olympic Games has announced that the general public may now make application for tickets. Season tickets will not be issued, but a complete series of tickets is available to enable visitors to attend every session of any particular sport. The public is asked not to send money for tickets at this stage, but to write to the Olympic box office stadium for information. Prices of tickets for most events range from two shillings to two guineas. The highest priced session ticket is for the boxing finals, for which the charge is three guineas. Seventeen countries so far have entered for the sailing events, to be held with the games, and other entries are expected. The sailing events were first added to the Olympic Games programme in 1900, when Britain won the chief event.
Since then 10 different nations have been among the prize winners, Norway leading with 11 victories. Classes of boats to be used in next year’s contests, which will be sailed at Torbay, are the international six-metre, the international star, the Dragon, the Swallow and the Firefly classes.
