FAILURES AT INNSBRUCK PLACES BURDEN ON OLYMPIC TRACK STARS CHICAGO (ANP) TLe Inept showing of U. S. athletes in the Winter Games in Innsbruck, Au stria, places a massive burden on our track and field stars who must now relied upon to roll up tre mendous victories to offset our present losses and thus rescue Un cle Sam’s prestige in the upcoming Olympics in Tokyo this October. Every loss by the U. S. ski, bob sled and hockey teams at Inns burck increases the burden for our tracksters. Lucikly, the U. S. is cur rently blessed with an abundance of topnotch track and field athletes, particularly a fine array of tan stars who will do doubt carry the load at Tokyo. But the question might be asked: Are we continually ex pecting too much from our track starsT Isn’t It about time we started balancing the ath letic sheet by embarking on an unrestricted recruiting program in uhleh Negroes as well aa whiten will be sought out and trained In the search for the talent tint is lacking in our Track has long been integrated and has continuously supplied the nation with a abulous supply of talent. The exploits of Jesse Owens, Ralph Metcalfe, Mel Walker, Mai Whitfield, Harrison Dillard, Wilma Rudolph, Rafer Johnson, and oth ers In the past, are matched and sometimes surpassed by such cur rent stars as world sprint champion Robert Hayes, champion hurdler Hayes Jones, pole vault tltllst John Pennell, broad Jump ace Ralph Bos ton, high jump specialist John Tho mas, and runners Jim Beatty, Pe ter Snell, Jim Dupree. Ulls Wil liams and Tom O'Hara. The latter group will, I believe, carry the United States to victory over Russia and the other nations at the Tokyo Games. The question still remains, however, of whether our overall track victory will be large enough to offset the losses at Innsbruck. I hope so. Judging from the dismal head lines (or the U.S.) coming out of Innsbruck, the U. S. niust have sent a sorry team to the Winter Games. I am not knocking the ath letes personally. They are doing their best I am sure. But I am questioning the type of program ming and training which produced the current crop of winter athletes. At best something must be wrong with our method of recruiting and training when a great aports power such as the United States falls so miserably in winter athletic compe tition. I, in particular, cannot help wondering if race might have some thing to do with it. I can't help wondering what might have been the results if tan skiers or bob iledrn were competing in Inss A* GJHOtUVUOI RALEIGH. N.

The Bears lost the first throe games in the conference attar the Christmas break, but are now back on the winning trail In their last three games the Bears have been victorious in their meetings with Allen University, non-conference; St Augustines’ College, and Fay etteville State. Coach Spann has all week to prepare the Bears for the important game with ART. In their first meeting at Greensboro, brock? This brings ua to the ques tion of selection. One reads occasionally of a few Negroes skiing for kicks, but as far as is known, none have been recruited for, or competed in any of the major AAU ski contests. Needless to say, none tried out tor the current, pathetic U. S. Olympic team. “No Soul Brothers are in the lineup,” one tan observer com mented comically on our winter Olympic team. And this brings up another question: why haven't Ne groes, integrated such winter sports as skiing and bobsleding? ? “SPECALIZING IN FRONT END ALIGNMENT * MUFFLER & TAIL PIPE Complete Brake Service EASY FINANCING Honrs: 8 - 6—Mon.
