Tomorrow the athletes from nearly every country in the world will march in the parade of nations. The Olympic torch will be lighted with a flame carried by hundreds of athletes from the base of Mt. Olympus to the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City. The games have never been without incident since their modern inauguration on March 20, 1896, in Athens, Greece, where the ancient Greeks staged their Olympiac. Olympic Incidents The incident in Greece began when an American athlete placed his jersey on the side of the broad jump approach with the arm pointing toward the pit. The judge kicked it aside, and in so doing, aroused the anger of an American team member; but the judge happened to be Prince George of Greece, who had the support of the people, and the final say in his capacity as judge. The 1938 Olympics held in Germany proved to the world that the super race of Hitler's master plan were not superior to other peoples. The greatest example of this is the great human and moral victory of American Negro Jessie Owens, who defeated Hitler's best. Sex, Politics, Professionalism, Demonstrations The modern Olympics have even questioned the status of athletes being amateur or professional, whether the women had an extra gene in their chromosomes, or if the athletes were exploited and being used for political and international incidents. Today, the track teams of several nations are complaining because of the shoes they have to use. Of two major shoe manufacturers, the Mexican government has a contract with one to furnish all the shoes, while the athletes want the shoe produced by the restricted company. The Americans used a shoe with 68 brush-like spikes in the final trials at South Lake Tahoe in which several world marks were set. This is not allowed because the rules state that new equipment can not be used if it is brought before the International Olympic Committee within the year before the games. The threat of boycott by the Negro members of the American team has subsided. Sprinter John Carlos, on his arrival in Mexico City spoke vaguely of a demonstration. This could be taken several ways. Perhaps he met. is a display of the athletic abilities of the Black athlete as shown in Germany by Owens three decades ago. Student riots have wrought destruction and death throughout the summer in the Central American country. Recently, however, student leaders stated that no incidents of violence will impair the Olympics. Conference Games This Week In Big Sky games last week, Idaho State was idle, while cross-state rival Idaho Vandalized Pacific 31-14. Montana fell to the Aggies of Utah State in a lopsided 50-3 contest. Montana State couldn't stop the nation's leading rusher, Eugene Morris, who gained an NCAA record 340 yards, in leading West Texas State to a 35-20 win. Weber State smashed the Boise State jinx 44-3. League games feature Montana at Idaho, and Idaho State at Montana State, while Weber takes on winless Portland State. Idaho should win by 14 on the arm of Steve Olson. The young Bengals of ISU will come out on the short end by 7, and the Vikings will get snowed under by 45. 3 'V 5 -UD 'J y 1 TV "rt .. ,. ss r . . . ,- ' 'A The Weber State sidelines are very active during the game as the picture points out.
