FRIDAY, 9. 1976 47 Sports Features Taiwan is issue Olympic games face cancellation MONTREAL (AP) The International Olympic Committee (IOC) hinted today the Summer Olympic Games might be cancelled if a settlement is not reached in the controversry involving the Taiwanese team. A statement issued after a meeting of the IOC's Tripartite Commission said a meeting would be sought with (he Canadian government and added: "In an endeavor that this should not result in the IOC having no alternative but to cancel the Games of the XXI Olympiad, the Tripartite Commission is supporting immediate further talks with Canadian authorities and also with representatives of the Republic of China national Olympic Committee." The IOC acted as the bulk of the Taiwan team was barred from entering Canada by the Canadian goverment. Much of the team was in Boston with the remaining athletes, coaches and officials in Detroit or en route there. Under pressure from mainland China, the People's Republic of China, the Canadian government has said it will not allow the Taiwanese in unless they drop the name of the Republic of China.

Lord Killanin, President of the IOC, called a hurried meeting of the Tripartite Commission, which consists of the three vice presidents of the IOC and representatives of the internatonal sports federations and a i a Olympic committees. The statement said: "The Commission a i condemned the attitude of the Candian government, which has opposed the entry of a team of a national Olympic committee under the name duly recognized by the IOC, thus breaching the agreement given formally to the IOC when the Canadian government supported Montreal's application to hold the Olympic Games." A spokesman for the IOC said reports of an impending settlement were completely without foundation. He said no formula had been drawn up to suggest the Republic of China (Taiwan) team change its name at the Olympics or Scoreboard National League East Philadelphia Pittsburgh York St. Louis Chicago Montreal Cincinnati Los Angeles San Dlefjo Houston Atlanta San Francisco 52 44 45 34 34 25 Wesl 51 46 43 39 38 34 1 25 33 40 45 41 -19 31 37 40 44 44 50 DCl .675 57; .529 .430 .420 .338 .622 .551 .518 .470 .463 .405 gb 8 11 19 20 3SVj 12Vj 13 IB Yesterday San Diego 6, Chicago 3 New York 5.

Meanwhile, 25 members of the Taiwan team, barred from entering Canada but seeking training facilities in the event they are permitted to participate in the Games, arrived in Boston following a flight from Detroit.

Hang Hsu of the International Olympic Committee for Taiwan, told a news conference at Logan International Airport the team went to Boston "because we don't have the facilities in Detroit. This is the big city. Boston has better facilities for us. This is an emergency case." Speaking through an interpreter, Taiwan archery Coach T. P.

Kuo, Hsu stressed: "The most important thing is that we cannot get a visa into Canada." Hsu added that team morale was suffering because of the dispute. "We think that all this disturbance before the Games is seriously influencing our effort, mental condition and also the physical condition," he said. The team, escorted by several state troopers, boarded a bus and was taken to an airport hotel. Its plans still were unknown. Made it!

Miss Donnelly, a former cheerleader at Salpointe High School, qualified third in the women's 100-meter hurdles at the U.S.

"Relaxing here at the training camp is very easy," said Miss Donnelly in a telephone interview yesterday. "They're really very nice up here. We have free passes lo shows, and the food is surprisingly good.

It just seems like a combination small college and training camp." She excelled at figure skating and ballet as a younger girl and it wasn't until her sophomore year at Salpointe that Patrice Donnelly discovered her talents in track. "She just came up to me one day in high school when she was a cheerleader and said, 'Dad, I want to recalls her father, Mike Donnelly, her former coach and now an insurance man in Tucson. "We started right from scratch," continued Donnelly. "She began as a long jumper, then switched to being a sprinter but we saw that she had such beautiful balance we soon got into the hurdle events." In 1972 Miss Donnelly placed fourth in the Olympic trials and was invited to travel with the U.S. team to Munich as iin alternate.

Not terribly impressed with her own performance, she elected instead to leave immediately for Sweden and' spend ihe summer Europe. "The disappointment of not making the team in '72 was not too great," said Miss Donnelly. "I knew I wasn't ready then, and a 1 really didn't luive a chance."

The 19-year-old Ballesteros, who led after the second round with 136, shot a one- over-par 73 on the Royal Birkdale Course which was hit by winds and a brief rainstorm. Miller also added a 73 to his 36-hole total of 140 and was alone in second at 213, two strokes ahead of Briton Tommy Horton, who closed with an eagle on the final hole for a par-72 and third place at 215. Ballesteros fell two strokes behind Miller but regained the lead on the par three-fourth when he parred as Miller took a bogey by missing a 10-foot putt. Miller's tee shot had been far off line. The Spaniard picked up another stroke on Miller as the American bogeyed No.

Miller had taken the lead on the short, par-three seventh hole when he parred while Ballesteros bogeyed. Miller added another stroke to his lead when he birdied the 470- yard, par-four eighth. Ballesteros lost two strokes on the first two holes on the fast, dry course, which was not affected by rain. He missed a six-fool putt on the opening hole for bogey and then bogeyed No. 2 when he needed a putt from eight feet, Miller lost a chance to tie for the lead when he missed a four-foot pull on No.

"I've played enough this year," he said. "I just come out, put the uniform on and go to work. You have to do your work if you're in the lineup."
