Show Bavarians Have The Words For Displeasure MUNICH Shee-bul- f "A blur came in front of me when I I said. Tture won't be heard the decision It's all over. no medal. Reginald Jones sat at a brown wooden table, head bow'ed, near tears and attempted to figure the whole tiling out. He had lost a decision to the Russian lightweight Valeri Tregubov; or had he? Or had it been taken away from Jones? 2 By American boxing standards the fight wasnt rtmotely close. Jones won the first round, got no worse than an even rating in the second and nearly pu. the Russian away in the third. Still he lost the fight. Why? S:1 knew I wron the fight, But Jones continued heh I heard the decision I closed my eyes for a second. I Thought about hitting somebody. Anybody. But I thought there is no sense in getting mad or starting anything here. . ,JJXhe fight is always going to be that way. T he boxing stadium erupted. There were boos and "Whistles.

Frankly, the Russians make no attempt to hide this.

There was no truth to those rumors, finally.

He needs it to breathe. Treadway said He was a little wheezy last week, so he took it. We thought it would be all nght for him to take it, since we had reported officially that he takes this medicine. We were under the impression that it was all right for a boy to take medicine of this sort if it had been reported, since the report would explain its presence in a urine test. De Merode said that a urine test of Demont taken after the 400 was positive and so was another test taken later. s ever that might translate back into Russian, the meaning seems cler enough. Despite all this the Russians are cooly polite, even to How the blacks, but they seem no more polite to anyone else, for that matter. Except in some events, such rs wrestling, they are not doing as well here as they have at omer Olympics. Coach Hank Iba of the U.S. basketball team, has attempted to dodge all remarks on officiating. He came here to win and. with a mediocre team, has done a remarkable job. "Officiating," says Iba, "is the hardest possible job He leaves the question there. in sports. After shutting off the Cuban fast break, the U.S. coach talked about the U.S. basketball role m international sports "We must share what we have with other countries. We owe them the knowledge we have. Some time we will not win the Olympics and that might be soon Hell, yes, we want to win every time. But there will be a time when we won t."
