| Description | A generalization of classical theorems on the existence of sections of real, complex and quaternionic Stiefel manifolds over spheres is proved. We obtain a complete list of Lie group homomorhisms which reduce the structure group G_n=SO(n), SU(n), Sp(n) in the principal fibre bundle over G_{n+1}/G_n. |
