Surrounded by a clutter of red-white-and-blue equipment, gymnasts from 10 nations that boycotted the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics began limbering up Tuesday for what some consider their "alternative" competition. When the United States first proposed its boycott as a protest to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, there was talk of creating an "Alternative Games" for the boycotting teams. Those "games" were never organized, but the U.S. Gymnastics Federation did organize its-first three-day International Invitational Gymnastics Championships, which begins Thursday. The event was open to all boycotting nations, but only 11 teams entered, representing less than a third of the boycotting nations.

Another Olympian who stepped into the NHL was Ken Morrow, the de-fenseman from Davison, who was credited by coaches with helping the New York Islanders win the Stanley Cup. Because of the U.S.

hockey team's stunning victory over the Soviets, the 8-year-olds in his hockey school ask for Wells' autograph and he has made several trips on the promotion trail. But all Wells really wants is a fair chance. "When it's been proven to me that I can't play there (the NHL), then I'll take myself out of it If I don't produce, if I don't score goals, if I don't get assists, I'll pull myself out. I'll say, 'Hey, Ted (Lindsay, coach of the Red Wings), you're right, I can't make this club or any I'm strong enough I don't think I've ever been knocked completely out by a bigger man yet," Wells said. He was picked by the Montreal Canadiens in the 12th round of the 1977 draft while playing at Bowling Green, but the Canadiens released him earlier this month.

"I've got a lot of feedback, and all of it's negative," Wells said Monday. "I haven't heard a good word from anybody. And for me, it's hard to believe. "I've done well in my college years, I've done well in the Olympics, I feel I'm right up with the (Mark) Johnsons, (Steve) Christoffs and all of them (former Olympic teammates). "I saw the way they played in the NHL and I said, 'Oh, my God, if they can play that good, I can play that good because I skated with them all year Jong."

Many of his former teammates have skated on to the National Hockey League, but the 22-year-old St Clair Shores native is coaching at a youth hxkey school in Dearborn while he waits for the professional offer that has never come. Wells scored two goals and an assist as a center on the U.S. Olympic squad during its fight for the gold. But at 5-foot9, 175 pounds, he is considered small for the pros.
