U.S. says 50nations
committed to boycott

United Press International
WASHINGTON — Despite re
ports support for a boycott of the
Olympics is crumbling, more than 50
nations have either publicly or pri
vately committed themselves to join
ing a boycott of the Moscow games,
the State Department says.
L-I 846-4714 & 846-1151
A survey earlier by UPI of political
and sporting attitudes among the
most important countries showed
that none was at the point of joining a
boycott.
The U.S. Olympic Committee
Athletes Advisory Council was sche
duled to meet with administration
officials at the White House today to
discuss the boycott.
‘Fantastic freshmen’
Aggies’2-0 win over USC
sp
State Department spokesman
Hodding Carter said despite
“noises” from various sports groups
that they will ignore President Car
ter’s call for a boycott, the United
States and at least 50 other nations
will not send teams.
“The official commitments are
given,” the spokesman said, “that is
to say, somewhere over 50 privately
or publicly are committed” to stay
away from the games because of the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Head baseball coach Tom Chand
ler sat back in his office chair with an
ear-to-ear grin.
He had just concluded one of the
most satisfying nights of his 22-year
Aggie coaching career, coaching his
team to a 2-0 victory over the Uni
versity of Southern California, a
team Chandler calls “the New York
Yankees of collegiate baseball,” in
the first night game ever played at
Olsen Field, in front of a record
crowd of 4,400.
“No question that it was one of the
highlights of my career,” Chandler
said. “Playing our first night game
and a win over Southern California,
it was great. ”
A little over two years ago, the Ags
and Trojans met in the first game
ever held at Olsen Field. The March
21, 1978 score was 5-2, in favor of the
Trojans. The Trojans were a power
house back then.
But this year the Trojans ran into
the Aggies’ super freshmen, pitchers
Rick Luecken, Robert Slavens and
Jack Miska. These three and sopho
more Bobby Taylor combined to stop
USC on five hits. Slavens picked up
his eighth win without a defeat.
USC came into the game with a
13-14 record, having lost four games
in a row to the University of Texas,
and splitting a double-header at
Texas Tech. Before the disastrous
Texas road trip, the Trojans were
ranked 13th in the country, three
slots below the Aggies.
“They have a lot better club than
their record indicates, Chandler
said. “They hit a lot of balls on the
nose tonight, but didn’t find the
holes to hit them in. Two years ago
they had an outstanding team, but
they lost a lot to the pros.
“It (the win) gave the boys a lot of
confidence, especially Taylor. He’d
been struggling.’
Taylor came in to pilch in the top
of the ninth and set the Trojans down
in order, picking up his second save
of the season. Taylor entered the
game with a 5.52 ERA, and had not
pitched in the last two weeks.
Luecken, 6-1, pitched the first
three innings, giving up one hit, be
fore surrendering the duties to
Slavens, who pitched anotherlM

“There may be some who wish to
march into that stadium in Moscow
so much that they are willing to
forget what that means to the Soviet
Union.
“When the day comes this sum

many other nations as well will also
have decided that marching into that
stadium is not worth the price and
what it says to the Soviet Union ab

Wednesday, the majority of players
stayed in camp and most clubs man
aged to hold full-scale workouts.
The Players Association Tuesday
decided to strike the remainder of
the exhibition games but open the
regular season on schedule next
week. They set a strike date of May
23 if a basic agreement between the
Association and the owners is not
reached by May 22.
“I’m confused,” said Cincinnati
Reds catcher Don Werner. “I
thought it (a strike) would be now or
later, not both. ”
Miller, executive director of the
Players’ Association, and Grebey,
the owners’ representative, will
meet today in New York with federal
mediator Kenneth Moffett. Free
agentry remains the major stumbling
block to a settlement.
“This could be the last roundup,”
said California owner Gene Autry.
“They’ve got the wrong quarterback.
Marvin Miller will lead the players
down just like he led the United
Steel Workers down. You can push
ownership only so long. ”
Angels’ Executive Vice President
Buzzie Bavasi, who refused to let
players use the club’s facilities or
equipment Wednesday, added:
'T’ve been in baseball for 4(1
and this is the first time I've
concerned about the futureo( ;

David Bandy, missed all of last sea
