BERLIN, Nov. 25—Cancelation
of the winter Oympic Games sch
clued for Garmish Partenkirch
| on was announced by Hans Os
j ten, Reich ‘ports leader of the
i Gorman Olympic committee.
I The organization committee of
j '-he games took this action in
; view of the resolution of the Jn

that a belligerent country can
| not hold games.
Has No Authority
NEW YORK, Nov. 25 —Offic
j ers of the American Olympic
Committee said, Hans Osten is
not empowered to cancel the win
i er Olympics but could merely re
jjcct them in Germany’s behalf
j and return them to the Interna

| However, since the games
i must be held during 1910 and
j scheduled in February, it is ex
; treme y doubtful that the IOC
; will be able to award them to
| any other country in time for
that country to make adequate
preparations.
