SPORTS GRIPES
Rarely does one sportwriter Bill Glassford, Nebraska head
criticize his own profession for the
manner in which it handles the
reporting of sports events. But in
this writer's estimation, the cov
erage of the Olympic games by
the nation's sportswriters is de
veloping not into a strict reporting
of the news, but rather to a le
newal of the conflict between the
East and the West.
The Olympics, as far as the
track and field events are con
cerned, have been in session for
five days. In those five days a
majority of sports writers, re
porters, and columnists have vir
tually ignored a majority of the
nations represented at the games
in favor of featuring and coloring
the race between the teams of the
United States and Russia.
This type of reporting has
added a heavy handicap to U. S.
athletes. After being cautioned
that they will be constantly ob
served by not only Russia and
her satellite nations but also the
world in general and should act
accordingly, the United States
team has been handed nothing but
an unwholesome East versus West
type of coverage by the press.
Marvin Stone of the Interna
tional News Service is one of the
worst offenders in this new ver
sion of the East-West cold war.
For instance in a recent article his
lead paragraph states: "Old Glory
unfurled time and again in tri
umph Monday to mark a four
way sweep in track and field that
rocketed the United States into
the lead over Russia in the Olympic
games."
The entire article is filled with
personal U. S. victories over vari
ous individuals of the Russian
delegation.
Is this the type of reporting the
public should read or should the
public be given the type of cover
age of the Olympic games that is
in line with the orders given to
American athletes by their officials?
Perhaps newswriters should
take note of the attitude U. S. and
Russian athletes have toward each
other as a pattern for their ac
counts of the competition. Let
them watch Russians and Amer
icans walk arm in arm to the
winner's platform, wide grins
across their beaming faces ex
emplifying the true goal of the
Olympic games.
Officials who made the choice
tt the 53 players on the College
All-Star team which will meet
Im Angelei at Soldier's Field in
Chicago on August 15, have made
one grave error.
The officials, which include

Monday became the Big Sev
en's lone representative on the
College All-Star team.
Weatherall is one of 12 tackles
, named to the team which will
' meet the Los Angeles Rams in
Soldier Field August 15.
This is a slight on the Big Seven
conference by officials who leaned
heavily toward Southern and
West Coast teams in their choice
of playing personnel.
Individuals who are attending
the Olympic games in Helsinki,
Finland, have nothing but glow
ing reports and tremendous praise
for the hospitality of the Finns. :
The entire citizenry of Helsinki
has turned host to the visitors
from all parts of the world in at
tempt to carry out the true mean

Houses have turned into ho
tels; cars have turned into taxis.
Not only are the Finns polite and
helpful, but they go out of their
way to see that their visitors are
royally entertained. i

removed when Mrs. Fanny Blank-ers-Koen,
