There will be fewer events, fewer medals and fewer athletes. But even greater changes to the Olympic movement will take place during the next 12 months, as a result of the Olympic Congress and meeting of the International Olympic Com mittee (IOC) during the past week, IOC President Lord Killanin said today. The IOC decided to trim the summer games by 10 events and to cut back the number of com petitors in six sports during its meeting but other changes — the redefinition of amateurism and the possible expansion of the games over a wider geographical area, will be tackled during the coming months. Killanin said the Congress — at which the IOC listened to the views of the 26 international sports federations and 92 national Olympic committees — ac complished “a greater unity between the three groups.” At the Congress, the federations made a strong bid for more say in the running of the Olympic Games and at one point, Killanin admitted, seemed to have taken the initiative from the IOC.” “I think we were on a slippery rein for a while,” said Killanin. “But we are no longer on some Olympian cloud. Our feet are firmly on the ground without our heads, fortunately, being buried in the golden sands of Varna.” The IOC met after the Congress and whether intentionally or not, did not conform with the wishes of the federations on many key points. The federations asked for a specific amateur rule to be passed which the IOC said it “was considering.” The federations also came out strongly in favor of spreading the games throughout an entire country but Killanin told a news conference: “The games should be allocated to a city, in my personal opinion, and that city could be stretched into a zone. The basic idea of a city is not wrong provided you are given a good deal of latitude,” said Killanin. Football fans opt for TV instead NEW YORK (UPD—Close to 40.000 fans—the second highest figure in the four-week National Football League season—failed to use their tickets to sold out games Sunday. There were seven sold-out games Sunday and with at tendance figures available for six, 38,056 fans did not use their tickets and presumably watched on home television. The only week which surpassed Sunday’s figures in no-shows was the first Sunday of the season when over 50.000 fans took advantage of government legislation against blacking out of sold-out home games. Miami’s no-shows led the parade once more as 16,097 fans stayed away as the Dolphins routed the Jets 31-3 in sunny 80 degree weather. Nearly 50,000 persons who bought tickets have stayed away from the Dolphins’ three home games so far, by far the highest no-show figure in the league. The game between San Francisco and the Falcons at Atlanta had 7,743 no-shows in sunny, 80-degree weather and at Kansas City, 7,097 stayed away from the Chiefs-Broncos game in sunny weather. The Vikings-Lions game in Detroit, a key National Con ference Central Division game, had 4.874 fans stay away in sunny, 70-degree weather while 1,555 did not use tickets at Pitt sburg in the Steeler-San Diego game, played in sunny, 60-degree temperatures. The lowest no-show figure Sunday was at St. Louis where only 690 fans did not use tickets as Oakland edged the Cardinals. No figures were available for the New York Giants-Green Bay game at the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Conn. The Yale Bowl does not have turnstile facilities— tickets are taken by hand—and no-show figures were not available Sunday night. The Giants had been averaging about 5,000 no-shows at Yankee Stadium and the figure was expected to be much higher since many fans were expected to skip the 75-to-100 mile trip to New Haven. The Monday Night game at Washington between Dallas and the Redskins was the final sellout of the weekend.
