ST. JOSEPH, MISSOURI SECTION Sunday, October 13, 1968 SPORTS- -WANT ADS ST. JOSEPH NEWS-PRESS Troubled Olympic Games Officially Under Way Police on Guard as Opening Ceremonies Are Performed MEXICO CITY (AP) The 1968 Olympic Games, born in chaos and rent by dissension and political strife, opened peacefully Saturday in a setting of old world splendor and without incident. While sailors stood shoulder to shoulder outside the massive, saucer shaped Olympic Stadium, built over a lava bed, and police milled through the crowd of 80,000, Mexico President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz officially declared "the Games open at 12:33 p.m., Mexico City time. The cordons of police were sombre reminders of the recent bloody student riots that left scores dead and hundreds injured and threats of possible new violence to embarrass the Mexican government.

108 Teams Entered More than 7,400 brightly attired athletes from 108 nations -most ever to compete in the Games--marched crisply around the 400-meter synthetic track and stood erect in the infield as 6,200 pigeons and 40,000 balloons soared aloft into the bright, sunny skies. Active competition starts Sunday, with the Games ending Oct. 27. The sun broke through rovercast skies just as the Mexican president, bespectacled. and smiling, took the podium with Avery Brundage, straightbacked 81-year-old president of the International Olympic Committee, and Pedro Ramirez Vasquez, the famed Mexican architect who headed the organizing committee.

The Mexicans regarded the sun as a symbol that the Games would go through the next fortnight with peace and success. The Mexican Games have been plagued by controversy ever since this high city was selected. It started with the boycott threat surrounding the admission of apartheid South Africa, later rescinded; the cloud of a possible boycott by United States athletes, and squabbles over ev-1 erything from shoes to sex. There was not the slightest demonstration by America's Negro athletes, who walked around the circular track with their white teammates, a few holding their fingers aloft in the for victory sign made famous by Winston Churchill and also used by members of the Czechoslovakian team, who received the biggest ovation of any foreign delegation. Senorita Carries Torch In a concession to the fairer sex, a pretty Mexican senorita, Enriqueta Basilio Sotelo, a member of the Mexican track team, became the first woman ever in the Olympics to light the sacred flame that burns throughout the duration of the Games.

Wearing a white track suit and a white head band and holding the torch in her right hand that had been lit on. Mount Olympus in Greece, she ran up 90 steps to the big urn-like torch. There she stood for a moment holding the emblem aloft and then touched off the big flame. The crowd chanted "Meh-heco, Meh-he-co."

The oath of sportsmanship was taken on behalf of all competitors by Pablo Garrido, a Mexican distance runner. The huge American numbering 393, and the giant Soviet delegation of 401, had to yield popularity in the parade the host 'Mexicans and the Czechs. The Czechs, who a few weeks ago were invaded by the Russian army, another Warsaw Pact nation, drew the loudest applause from the gay, festive Carry Flags The host Mexicans, the women in white with trimmings of various colors and the men in red and white, carried small flags of all the other nations. A Close-Up View One of the most interested spectators at the opening ceremonies of the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico Saturday was Bill Leonard of St. Joseph.

"The ceremonies were the most beautiful thing I have ever seen," Leonard reported by phone Saturday night, "I've gone to a lot of sporting events of different types but this was by far the most thrilling." Mexican police and militia stood guard outside as Mexican president Gustavo Diaz Ordas officially declared the Games open, but Leonard saw no signs of "We have been in the country three days now, and the atmosphere has been most peaceful and friendly," Leonard said, "We have seen some soldiers with rifles, but that has been all." The lighting of the Olympic flame by pretty senorita Enriqueta Basilio Sotelo and the parade of the teams were the high points of the ceremonies, Leonard stated, and the American team was well received. "The Americans got a lot of Leonard said, "But the Czechoslovakians got a standing ovation- was really something." The Russians, according to Leonard, received only polite applause. Leonard plans to remain in Mexico City through Monday taking in the Olympic soccer, boxing, basketball and water polo events. While the arena was filled to capacity today, Leonard reported no difficulty, either in finding his way across Mexico City or in finding his reserved seats. "We're staying in a hotel completely across town-12 miles-from the arena, and today we took a bus to the opening ceremonies.

It cost us three pesos-24 cents." Leonard reported. Busses are marked by color as are seats within the arenas and most restaurant menus are printed in both Spanish and English, for the convenience of tourists. Leonard has found, however, that his son Todd has been quite an attraction in his own right. "Todd has red hair and the Mexican people are quite fascinated by it," Leonard said, "Wherever we go the people just want to run their fingers through his Kansas Wins, 23-13 Sixth-Ranked Jayhawks Have to Rally to Whip Huskers STATISTICS Kansas Neb.

After a running play gained one, Kiepert missed connections on three straight passes, and Purdue was done. It was a futile battle of field goals in the first half, with Ohio missing attempts of 21, 40 and 25 yards, and Purdue failing tries twice from the 32. The Buckeyes, winning their third against no defeats, took giant stride toward a trip to the Rose Bowl Jan. 1. The Bucks also enhanced their national stature with their convincing triumph.

He personally threw Phipps. for long losses twice, and the Purdue quarterback was drought down for losses at least a half dozen times.
