Bid Rejected by AAU Over Reinstatement Bid
CHICAGO Central AAU late Tuesday night rejected a bid for William T. Smith to be reinstated after an Aug 23 decision declared the 1952 Olympic gold medalist ineligible for further amateur competition. Smith, 28, an auto driving instructor at Rock Island High School, had received 400 dollars for coaching, which the AAU said exceeded his 4100 annual salary. Smith’s Rock Island City Attorney Charles Marshall argued the money paid covered expenses for a wrestling instructor. Chris J. Davis, president of the Central AAU, said Smith may appeal to the National AAU, but Smith indicated no further appeals are planned.
