Tommie Smith

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.

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.
