Portland and Linfield Tommie Smith May Compete NEW YORK — Sprint star Tommie Smith of San Jose Col lege, one of the most vocal and outspoken athletes supporting a Negro boycott of the 1968 Olympic games, has admitted that he will participate if a ma jority of the outstanding Negro Olympic prospects do Stating his views in an article in the current issue of Sport Magazine, Smith said: “1 believe that total agreement, or some thing close to total agreement, is necessary for success in this. If my brothers and the majority of the outstanding Negro Olympic prospects can not con cur in this resolution and are not prepared to accept such ac tion. then I will go on to fulfill my ambition to become an Olympian.” Among the abuses Smith would like to see corrected be fore he decides whether or not to try out for the U.S. Olympic team, are the opening of the all white membership roles of the New York Athletic Club to Ne groes, the barring of Southern Rhodesia and South Africa from Olympic competition, the ap pointing of an additional Negro coach to the Olympic coaching staff and the appointing of at least one Negro to the United States Olympic Committee. ‘T am not entirely sure of my actions,” Smith continued. “No one could be. But I have search ed my conscience and I am act ing as I believe I should act. I would be less than a man if I did not act for what I believe. “Black comes first. I say it flatly and simply. If there is a Negro boycott of the Olympics. 1 will participate in it willingly. If there is not, I will go to the Olympics and I will go to win,” he concluded. rnoio ny tun Aiiwonn HOW TALL IS LEW ALC1NDOR? He's more than the 7-1'.: he's listed in the UCLA press booklet, that's for sure. Emerald sports staffers D. L. Sonnichsen (6-4) standing, and Kick Fitch, were dubious about the actual height of the All-American center when the Bruins played in Eugene 11 days ago. As Alcindor walked to the showers following the game, his head brushed against the side of this pipe, and the keen-eyed Sonnichsen marked the spot where the top of his head had passed. The Emerald finally got around to measuring the distance from the floor to the mark, and sure enough—big Lew is 7 feet, 2 5 8 inches tall. Oregon Basketball Statistics VARSITY BASKK.TBALL (Won 5.
