l-l ir New eye test will decide Ilpenver lias lough to follow conic '76 act 1 An Olympics poser: rWhat is an amateur? i )) -4 AFTER FALL (AP) US 'fans' and gentlemanly we think they're the most likeable athletes here besides our own. GOODS CONSOLES BROTHER BOB got 'to know them well during those five games in the States," he said. "As individuals they are polite SPORTING if GOLD MEDAL WINNER BARBARA COCHRAN Soviet victory was sterling for he likes them as "We feel pretty close to: the' Russians because we By Crocker Snow Jr. idobe Asian Bureau Amid all the fun and games of, Asia's first Winter Olympics here, amid all the winners and losers, the international rivalries and ribaldry, two serious questions have emerged to go talong with the pleasant winter wonder-Uand memories. First is the long-standing dilemma, of finding a proper definition for athletic, amateurism.

Second and one of particular concern to an American journalist who has experienced the'happy Olympic spirit i first hand for the first time, is the question of what Denver can do for an encore in 1976. When the International Olympic Com-'mittee and its peripatetic president Avery. Brundage disqualified Austrian skier Karl Schranz, it triggered anew the difficult Jdebate of just where you draw the line jfcetween amateurism and professionalism ijin the sports world, especially in an event, i-as public and prestigious as the Olympic jGames. if It is no secret, of course, that in the ski jrwbrld international class Tacers are underwritten by their country's ski associations or equipment manufacturers, to Igreater or lesser degree. And it is no se-ixret that they are subsidized in training" for far more than the 60 days annually al- lowable under certain of the Olympic Committee rules.

Now Schranz has been used as a scape-' goat, the Lt. Calley as it were of the ski patrol, due to the flagrance of his com-i mercial endorsements and his open admission of it. By and large the skiers here profess great sympathy with the Austrian in his predicament. Even now Suzanne Chafee, i a US Olympic skier four-years ago, is trying to peddle a draft to Sports Illus-i trated magazine or any other takers, billed as a "ten point program for Olym-r pic awakening," to bring about an open Olympic competition for: amateurs and professionals alike. Like those who argue compellingly that marijuana should be legalized 'in order that laws dictating social standards catch up to some of.

the realities, Miss Chafee argues that the Olympic rules must be made consistent with athletic re-7 alities. "Alpine skiers are researching a new downhill technique as they are tired of racing in the 'hypocritical she writes. "That's an old European ski technique where you keep your ankles bent, your hips low and one hand under the table." Despite the current Schranz controversy, the past patterns and traditions of the Olympics a la Avery Brundage aren't about to dissolve overnight howeverl Nor should they. Brundage himself gets'outvoted on occasion by the Olympic Committee now. And he has announced his plans to retire after the Summer Olympics in Munich this year.

But he still commands some solid, though often silent, support. Maybe even a silent majority. Overall, the feisty old man should be. applauded for keeping pie! Olympics as perfect and apolitical as 'reasonably possible in a highly imperfect and political world. Nevertheless, the argument remains about where to draw the line between what is acceptable athletic sponsorship and what is unacceptable.

And should the Western countries, and most especially the 'US, be held to the strictest accounta-' bility on this simply because the Olympic Committee's power to control the Socialist bloc countries is nil? Canada has reacted to this inequity in ice hockey, the sport in which her national pride is most at stake. i Because Canada's prime professionals are ineligible to play in competition as compared to the more unofficial pros of such socialist countries as Russia and Czechoslovakia, she has refused to enter any hockey team at all in the last world championships and the Olympics this year. If the present circumstances continue, such a dramatic step may become the rule and not the exception. Assuming however that some kind of clarification and consistency in the Olympic definitions does come about by the time of the next Olympic cycle in 1976," what about the games themselves? Some of the biggest frowns seen in Sapporo are not found on the losing athletes but rather on the faces of the members of the Denver contingent who have been awarded the winter games four years from now. In a.

press conference about the "games; attention focused on the matter of public protest against them. Unaccustomed to' contemporary American fash- ions, foreign- journalists have been startled by the' 20,000 signatures against "the games which one Colorado woman has been circulating here. The Denver organizers are concerned about the opposition of and the extent that this may inhibit them in their uphill effort to match the magnificent organization and facilities which the Japanese have presented. "Face it, we can't compete with the Japanese in terms of facilities and man- power, and it would be a mistake to try," of the group confided privately. "I don't think there's any country in the world, right now that has this kind of skilled and disciplined labor force, which' can "put something like this together so well" Quite so.

The fact of the matter is that there is not at present sufficient social cohesion in America for a unified effort to make the Olympic Games the kind of un-: qualified success that they've been here. what a national showpiece the games can be and that 1976 will be nation's bi-centennial anniversary year, considering too the value of sporting activity in'general, the more's the pity. tlew England I OCIIYIUC rHnid vwiufcr run Tony's future BOSTON Tony Con- igliaro, who left the Cali- fornia Angels midway through last season be-. cause of failing sight in one eye, said today he 'will have the eye reexamined this week at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. He said he will have an announcement about his future in baseball after the examination.

Conigliaro has had trouble with his eye since being hit in the head with a pitch in 1967. He missed the entire 1968 came back and had two eood years with the Red Sox before being traded to California. Last year, however, he hit onlv .222 and four home runs before leaving the ball club.

233-7373 United Press International 1 SAPPORO Rooting for Russia was as American as apple pie for an ecstatic band of US hockey players yesterday. "It's the first time I've ever done it," said team co-captain Tim Sheehy of International Falls, Minn, and Boston College, while watching the Russians skate to a 5-2 victory over lovakia in the windup game of the Olympic hockey tournament. "I "always root against the Russians, but I'm overjoyed "nevertheless -that they're winning the silver medal for us." In an amazing ending to an exciting championship, Sweden was upset by Finland, 4-3, and then'' Czechoslovakia's loss to Russia. Had both Sweden and Czechoslavakia won their games, the US would have gone without a medal despite a 3-2 tournament record. "I feel we accomplished as much here as the '60 team that won the gold medal," said goalie Mike Curran of Green Bay, generally acknowledged as the most valuable Ameri- can player.

"These other teams have come a long way since then." The US players, who wound up their schedule with a 6-1 victory over Poland, 'sat together in the stands. Once Sweden had lost, the Yanks were anteed of a medal, but they would have had to settle for bronze if the Czechs won. "We played five exhibition games, against them in the States and got whipped pretty good," said defense-man Dick McGlynn of Medford, Mass. "But we got more out of those games than the, 45 we played against other teams. We took the embarrassment in the States for the glory over here." Murray Williamson, completing his i fifth and final year as coach of the national team, agreed.

"The five-game series with the Russians was a good lesson for us in European hockey," he said. "It's something we weren't exposed to before and we changed our style after those games. It paid off." -McGlynn said it really wasn't difficult for him to root for the Russians since SKIERS SPKIAl WEEKDAYS except holiday wkj INCIUDIS: All day lift ticket, sk! lesson and equipment rental.
