Montana s ami, career on hold
SAN FRANCISCO (Af*) After iwo elbow oper
ations and months of rehabilitation, Joe Montana
still can't throw.
His return to the San Francisco 4<»rrs remained
on hold Indefinitely Monday due of fatigue and
lingering pain In his surgically repaired passing
elbow
Despite Montana's history of overcoming inju
ries he pulted off a dramatic return from
back surgery the persistent nulure of the elbow
problems, the cumulative effect of past injuries
and his age all raise serious questions about
whelher he can play again.
Montana was unavailable for comment Mon

turn a phone call and team spokesmen said they
had nothing lo say about Montana's status.

His Immediate future, however, could hinge on

lingham and other club officials to go over his
medical options The meeting was expected to
take place before the club's exhibition opener
Monday nigh! against Denver.
The options re|x>rti>dly include the possibility
of a third surgery In a last-ditch effort to keep
Montana's comeback hid alive.

Montana on Sunday and had him undergo a se

surgery in a last-ditch effort to

lo four Super Howl wins, Montana missed all of
last year with a tom right elbow tendon. It was re
i It ached during an October operation performed
by Dillingham. In May, Dillingham performed a
second procedure to loosen a buildup of scar tis
sue in the elbow.
There apparently has been a new buildup of
scar tissue in the elbow area, causing Montana
pain whenever he throws.
The San Francisco Chronicle, citing an unidon
lified source, reported Monday that Dillingham
ivas hesitant to rush into a third operation and
-ecommended that Montana try resting his arm
completely for two weeks.
Montana, according to the San Francisco lixani
ner, has told teammates that he wants to get to
he bottom of the problem now even if it means
joing in for another operation.
Ho reportedly wants to undergo surgery so he
:otild get his rehabilitation Iwck on track quicker
ind because the operation would be inevitable if
ho rest period didn't help.
The third operation would involve a cleanup of
tear tissue. The procedure is not as serious as the
nttial surgery, and Montana could possibly re
urn in about six weeks, the Chronicle said.

Too much fun for athletes
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Whoops and hollers resound
through the Olympic village, the sound of athletes partying the
night away. Others, though, want peace and quiet.
With more than half the 9,000 athletes living in the village fin
ished with their competitions, some have found un outlet in danc
ing, drinking and carousing. That can he a nuisance for those still
competing
"There has been a certain relaxation in the discipline and order
in the Olympic village," said Pedro Palacios, spokesman for the
Barcelona organizing committee. "We are concerned about the
complaints from some of the delegations."
Village administrators sent out notices Monday to all Olympic
delegations urging them to "respect the right to rest and silence."
"These are all young, generally noisy people," Armando Calvo,
the village director, said. "They go out into the city and they drink.
They’re not all coming track drunk Lot's say they come back very
happy. They are noisy and this creates problems for the athletes
who are still in competition.”
Calvo said no one in particular was to blame.
"Being Spanish. I would have thought the Latin American coun
tries would lie the noisiest," he said "But here the Scandinavians,
the Americans, Italians, they make noise, too. Generally, everyone
wants to be happy ”
Any athlete found drunk or disorderly should be dealt with by
his own delegation, Calvo said There are no plans to call in police
patrols.
"I don't want to use the police for that," Calvo said. "That could
be badly misunderstood."
