Page 8 THE HERALD, Prove. Utah, Sunday. January 28, 197 Political Problems Continue to Plague Olympic Games By ALEX FRERE L'Pl Sporti Writer LONDON (LTD The readmission of China to the Olympics, recent Soviet political moves over the 1980 Moscow Games and a head-on clash with FIFA, one of the most powerful sports federations, will head the agenda when the executive board of the International Olympic Commitee meets at its headquarters in Lausanne next week. The nine-man board is also scheduled to sign the second part of the two-tier contract with Los Angeles for the 1984 Summer Olympics amid signs the IOC is not happy with the way the California organizing committee is being formed Other problems facing IOC president Lord Killamn and his executive board are the accreditation for journalists from Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty and the shortage and price of accommodation at Lake Placid during the 1980 Winter Games The re-entry of China to the Olympic Games China last competed in London in 1948 has become a matter of certainty following President Carter's move to re-open full diplomatic links. But China's re-appearance still poses a tricky procedural problem for the IOC which until now has been thinking of trying to ease Taiwan out gently The executive board will be looking for a diplomatic solution to put before the mam IOC session when it meets in Montevideo, Uruguay, in April.

But unless Taiwan is dropped completely, the IOC knows Peking will not rejoin the Olympic fold On the Moscow Games, IOC members have not been hiding their anxiety over recent political statements from Soviet leaders On a recent European tour, Soviet sports minister Sergei Pavlov stirred up a hornets' nest in West Germany when he said West Berlin athletes should be identified separately from the West German team. The Soviet Olympic Committee later issued a statement denying any such proposal But it was one of Pavlov's other remarks that caused considerable un-ertse at Olympic headquarters and some frenzied activity in Tel Aviv. Pavlov said the Soviet Union regarded as "serious provocation'' Israel's continuing ties with South Africa. The statement led some Olympic observers to believe the Soviet Union was considering fueling an offensive by Arab and African countries to get Israel banned from the Moscow Games In Tel Aviv, Yitzhak Ofek, president of the Olympic Committee of Israel, announced Israel was cutting its sporting ties with South Africa. But the next day after a stormy meeting, the committee softened its line.

IOC leaders now are awaiting Russian reaction. The threat of a black African boycott similar to the one in Montreal in 1976 appears remote because the Soviets are anxious for full African participation at Moscow. But the one cloud on the horizon is the South African Rugby tour of France in September this year It was New Zealand's rugby tour of South Africa that led to the Montreal walkout at the last moment and if the French rugby federation goes through with its invitation to the Springboks there could be similar trouble in Moscow "This tour could pose big problems for the Moscow Olympics," admitted Killanin. "It is quite possible that African countries could react as drastically as they did in Montreal." mm Bradshaw to Lead AFC Bid for Pro Bowl Win ii i We've juit complied our inventory and found a large number of d'tcontinued tif, oveniocki in torn sixes, factory pecioli, ono-of-kind special, iait year's whitewall deiigru, etc. We've yfOwpsd fhss tire end prited them to let! now.

Stop-in while the selection it complete and tave on your tiie. LOS ANGELES (UPi I The Pittsburgh Stealers' Terry Bradshaw, who almost singlehandedly beat the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII last Sunday, and the Miami Doiphis' Bub Griese will lead the AFC all-stars against the NFC All-Stars in the NFL's Pro Bowl Monday night. A crowd of 50.000 is expected to show up at the Los Angeles Memorial CnlisMtm for the national television (ABC) game at 6 p.m. After the Steelers' 35-31 victory in the Super Bowl at Miami, the Pro Bowl has a tough act to follow. Bradshaw, who will be playing his first Pro Bowl, had the greatest day of his nine-year pro career in the Orange Bowl by passing for 318 yards and four touchdowns on 17 completions in 30 attempts.

The AFC will be trying to take a 5-4 lead over the NFC in a rivalry that began with a 27-6 triumph by the NFC at Los Angeles in 1971. "I think," Bradshaw said, "we're definitely the better conference and I think we're definitely more exciting. I think it's a carryover from the old AFL.

This is my first chance to play in it and I want to do well A year ago, Walter Payton of the Chicago Bears was the Pro Bowl MVP after helping the NFC to a come-from-behind 1413 victory at Tampa, Fla. The AFC led 13-0 at halftime. Pat Haden of the Los Angeles Rams and Jim Hart of the St. Louis Cardinals were the NFC quarterbacks a year ago but neither one will be in this year's Pro Bowl. Roger Staubach of Dallas and Archie Manning of the New Orleans Saints will quarterback the NFC Monday night.

"There's a lot of pride that will be at stake," insisted Staubach, who will be appearing in his fourth Pro Bowl, "and we'll be trying our hardest to win. I know I'm looking forward to the game. "Sure, there was a letdown after losing the Super Bowl but I'll be ready by the time the game starts. There has been a new look to the Pro Bowl the last couple of years. The players who are out are really hurt.

Nobody calls up and cancels out anymore. "A few years ago, there was a mass exodus of players. But the league emphasized the importance of the game to the players and I think we all realize how important it is. Now a genuine conference rivalry is developing." Bradshaw will have one of his Super Bowl favorite receivers, Lynn Swann, who caught seven passes for 124 yards and one touchdown, in the Pro Bowl and Chuck Fairbanks, the head AFC coach, has said he will emphasize a passing attack because it is easier to pass than run in an all-star game. But the AFC does have pro football's running sensation of 1978, Houston Oilers' star rookie Earl Campbell, the former Heisman Trophy winner from Texas, led the NFL in rushing this season and then helped the Oilers reach the AFC finals where they lost to Pittsburgh.

For Fairbanks, it probably is his last NFL coaching assignment. He is attempting to bolt the New England Patriots and become the coach at University of Colorado. At Boulder, last Monday, District Court Judge Richard Dana decided to submit Fairbanks' contract dispute to league commissioner Pete Rozel-le. Fairbanks told Dana last week that he would not return to the Patriots no matter what the final decision was but this past week hedged on that when asked about his coaching plans after the Pro Bowl. "I really don't know," he told reporters.

But I've been healthy and I've been keeping in shape pretty much during the offseason" Questions about Sutter's health actually began when he missed part of the i977 season after a spectacular start. When he went on the disabled list, the Cubs' pennant hopes quickly faded. He still finished the season with a sparkling 1.35 ERA in recording 31 saves. Last season, Sutter was again the key man on the Cubs' pitching staff, but an assortment of ailments that some critics blamed on overuse of the forkball pitch caused Sutter's statistics to fall off from his 1977 levels.

Still, Sutter won eight games and recorded 27 saves and was the winning pitcher for the National League in the 1978 allstar game. "Oh sure, I have had some aches and pains," said the native of Lancaster, who now resides in Arlington Park, 111. "But that's part of playing the game." Sutter, who has developed what he calls a "split finger fastball" which has generally baffled batters during his three plus seasons, said he has not set a limit of how many games he can appear in for the Cubs this season. "I'll pitch in as many games as I can. I really can't say that I'm going to pitch in a certain amount of games.

It's going to depend on (Manager) Herman Franks." Sutter said Philadelphia, with the addition of Pete Rose, is still the team to beat in the division. "I've had some success against Pete, although I haven't struck him out very much," Sutter said. "I can get him out on ground balls. "But with Philadelphia and all that offense, they have got to be the team to beat."

The Chicago Cubs' ace reliever for the past three seasons cannot understand where reports that he has developed a sore arm got started.

"I'm feeling fine and strong," Sutter said. "Of course, I won't know my entire physical situation until the start of spring training, but I cannot see where these guys are talking about me having picked up a sore arm." Sutter has been mentioned in some trade talks during the offseason, but Cubs General Manager Bob Kennedy insisted there is no way the Cubs will be parting with the 26-year old righthander. But even talk of a trade doesn't bother Sutter as much as his physical condition. "If a trade comes, it comes, there's nothing you gain by worrying about it," Sutter said. "Bob Kennedy says I'm not going to be traded so that is my un- Bullets Team of Year PHILADELPHIA (UPI) The Washington Bullets, champions of 1977-78 National Basketball Association campaign, have been named the team of the year in American sports by 'Je Philadelphia Sports Writers Association.
