Can Olympic games recover

Nebraska's defensive ends Dennis Gutzman (89) and Frank Avolio (40) converge on Utah Redskin quar
terback Ray Groth during last Saturday's 31-0 victory over Utah. Nebraska ends will be attempting the
same trick Saturday at Minneapolis against the Minnesota Gophers.

It looks as tf the 1963
Olympics will, like almost
everything else in this
tumultuous year, be held In a
besieged city under the pro
tection of armed , troops and
under threat from a diversity
of dissident elements.
There are those, such as
Harry Edwards, who see this
as a healthy thing, that
society is waking up and pro
testing the crass hypocrisy
around it. And, there are
others, such as Avery Brun
dage an international in
stitution in himself who see
It as a return to mob rule
and intolerant reaction.
NEITHER is wrong in a
general sense. The German
people were indicted after
World War II for not following
their consciences instead of
their political system, yet
Americans are jailed for
conscientious objection today.
But these are general phil
osophical considerations, and
the disruption of the Olympics
from within or without
Is a particular case and must
be viewed as such.
First of all, boycotts and
demonstrations are valuable
weapons of any "anti" group,
but only as long as they are
used sparingly and are well
timed. Thus, the Impact of any
such weapon at the Olympics
has already been destroyed.
It started out as a fairly good
Idea, when the Negroes on the
U.S. squad declared they
were going to boycott the
Gophers face Nebraska
with revenge motives
by Randy York
Assistant Sports Editor
If there is such a thing as
teams being optimistic after
a loss, the University of Min
nesota is one of those teams.
The Golden Gophers drop
ped their seasonal opener last
Saturday. But it was certainly
nothing to brood over since
it came at the hands of 0.
J. Simpson and Company
(Sometimes referred to as the
University of Southern
California or just plain ol
Southern Cal).
AND THE contest was a
real tussle before Simpson's
heroics produced a 29-20 Tro
jan triumph. So, the Gophers
will be on the rebound when
Nebraska invades
Minneapolis. They will be on
the rebound, not because of
the USC .setback but, because
of the horsecollaring
Nebraska administered last
year.
The Huskers inflicted one
of only two losses absorbed
by Coach Murray Warmath's
outfit. NU registered a 7-0 win
in Lincoln in 1967's second
game for both teams.
But the setting is different
this year. Warmath gets a
chance to tackle Nebraska
coach Bob Devaney on his
Minnesota field where no one
beat him a year ago. Then
Southern Cal came. And con
quered. Twice in a row before
the home folks would be hard
to swallow.
Seeking to repel the
Nebraska invasion are 16
starters returning from last
year's productive unit. Two
of those 16 are prime can
didates for Ail-American
honors. Ezell (Easy) Jones is
a typical Minnesota tackle
6-4, 245 pounds). He is the
man to watch in the Gopher's
offensive front wall.
Jones can create a big hole.
Fullback Jim Carter usually
runs through a hole and runs
through it well. He was the
Gophers' leading ground
gainer in '67, rushing for a
net of 519 yards and scoring
three touchdowns. He is
labeled a 'punishing power
runner with exceptional will
to win."
When it comes to punishing
and a will to win, Nole Jenke
is another. This year's Gopher
captain is rated one of the
best linebackers in the Big
Ten. A word of warning for
NU: don't make Mr. Jenke
mad. Wisconsin found that out
last fall. Jenke intercepted
three Badger passes in a
narrow 21-14 Minnesota vic
tory. JONES, CARTER and
Jenke own i mp r e s s i v e
credentials, but the real pro
blem for Nebraska will pro
bably come from Bob Stein,
senior defensive end. The 6-3,
218-pound Minneapolis subur
banite earned All-Big Ten and
All-American acclaim last fall
as a junior.
Stein's ability may be il
lustrated by his sophomore
statistics. He was no All
American that year. In fact,
he played in only two games
because of illness and injury.
Yet he still tied for third in
the Big Ten in number of
tackles for losses with eight, v
Biggest gap that Warmath
has to fill is the quarterback
spot where Curt Wilson, 1967's
starting signal-caller, has
graduated. Ray Stephens,
who logged 45 minutes at the
Minnesota controls in '67 is
back but does not start.
Stephens was in charge of
Minnesota for most of the
Nebraska game last year.
Phil Hagen, a seasoned
quarterback veteran, steers
the Gopher offensive attack.
The 6-2, 176-pound junior
started one game last year.
As a soph, he passed for the
winning touchdown late in the
game to sink Utah, 13-12. His
soph statistics yield
impressive indication: 27 of
56 passes for 337
two touchdowns.

Statistics
John Wintermute at left
halfback and Mike Curtis at
flanker, both starters a year
ago, join Hagen and Carter
in the backfield cast. Curtis
alternated last year, snagging
eight passes for 155 yards and
one touchdown.
Wintermute moved into the
starting halfback role midway
through his soph season and
sparked Gopher victories over
Ohio State and Northwestern.
The two-year letterman, who
also toils at flanker, . gained
135 yards in the 33-7 win over
Indiana, this year's Rose
Bowl representative for the
Big Ten.

the season against the defen

have its hands full.
Nebraska fails to lead the
Big Eight teams in any team
category, but the Cornhuskers
are holding second position in
four football team spots.

hold two victories, Nebraska
also is ranked third in three
team categories and fourth in
another.

Games In order to show they
were being used by what they
called the White Establish,
inent.
The threat worked and
scared -most Americans for a
while until the movement
split from within, lost
momentum and seems to
have disintegrated. That,
however, remains to be seen.
But then the whole idea was
ruined when upwards of 50
nations gave notice they
would boycott the Games if
South Africa were allowed to
participate, even with a
"mixed" team.
This had Brundage jetting
around the world trying to put
the pieces back together and
only a little backstepping by
the Olympic Committee saved
the Games from that
particular crisis.
THEN ALONG came the
Czechoslovakian Crisis, and
the cry began to go out that
many countries would boycott
the Games if the Soviet Union
was allowed to compete. This
still has not been resolved,
but it is generally assumed
now that most countries will
not go through with this.

Now the Games are
threatened by student
disorders in Mexico City. No
one is quite sure what the
students are protesting, and
the killing and serious gun
fighting between dissidents
and police has swept the con
frontation beyond the scope
of a mere disruption, student
or otherwise.
At any rate, the public is
now fed up with talk of a
"boycott" and the law of
diminishing returns has
rendered any show by
American Negores or anyone
else important as far as af
fecting public opinion on any
issue the group would feel
transcends the importance of
the Games themselves.
The fact is that the Olympic
Games have served as an
apolitical institution for many
years even during times
of great crisis and deserve
to remain so. God knows the
world has few enough of them
left.
But even if you don't agme
about the nature of f!,o
Olympics - that nothinp s
above the cause of justice a v
you see it the very numh r
of various groups trying to
play on the Games has
nullified any hope of returns.
Any move to disrupt tho
Olympics now would b t,
purely anarchistic in natur e
simply for the purpose of
destroying the Olympics.
The Olympics does not
deserve to die such a pathe'ic
death after all these years.
It is perhaps the only pie e
in the world where athletes
can meet the best fro-n
everywhere else to tet
against the ultimate standard,;
It should be allowed to live
and flourish.
