(UPI) Harry Edwards' dream of leading a Negro bovcott of the 1968 Olympic Games apparently vanished into thin air today. Lee Evans, one of Edwards' prime backers in the boycott movement which began nearly a year ago and caused all sorts of problems for the U.S. Olympic track and field com mittee, pulled the rug out when he revealed a secret vote taken a month ago in Los Angeles showed nearly 100 per cent of the Negro athletes eligible for the team wanted to participate in the games. Edwards, a former associate professor of sociology at San Jose State College, was supposed to reveal the outcome of the Los Angeles vote at a news conference in San Francisco three weeks ago, but instead chose to keep everyone guess- 17, three athletes will be picked to represent the United States for each track and field event. From 15 to 20 Negroes are expected to be on the team which goes to Mexico City. Evans said the idea to withhold announcement of the Los Angeles vote was an attempt by Edwards, as leader of the boycott movement, "to keep them guessing." "I think most people have the idea now that we will go to Mexico," said Evans. "I don't have any qualms about saying so." However, Evans said some sort of protest still will be made although he did not have any idea at this time what form it might take. Osborne Upsets Smith SOUTH ORANGE, N.J.
