Page 12-Wedneday, July 19, 1978-The Michigan Daily IOC REJECTS FINAL OFFER: No LA Olympics By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles ap- parently lost its long fight to host the 1984 Olympic Games without risk yesterday when the International Olympic Committee rejected the city's final take-it-or-leave-it offer. "That proposal having been declined by the IOC," Mayor Tom Bradley wrote to the City Council, "I am recommen- ding that the Council withdraw the city's bid for the 1984 Olympic Games." ASKED WHETHER the council would approve Bradley's recommen- dation, Council President Bob Ferraro said, "I'm sure it's certain. I don't think there's any possibility the mayor's recommendation will not be accepted." Thus ended the city's months-long struggle in which the city's politicians tried vainly to satisfy the public demand for government thrift while satisfying the demands of the men who run the Olympics, the nine-member AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST W L Pct.

City leaders who favored bringing the Olympics to Los Angeles felt they had found their solution in the proposal that a private Olympics committee accept responsibility for the Games, rather than the city itself. But the IOC stuck to its guns on Rule 4, which states that the host city must bear ,financial liability for the Olympics. IN A LETTER to Mayor Bradley, IOC President Lord Killanin said that allowing Los Angeles to deviate from the rules would prompt future host cities to make similar demands. "The IOC must protect itself for the future and not compromise itself with other cities," Killanin said in the letter from Lausanne, Switzerland. KILLANIN SAID the IOC wanted Los Angeles to host the Games and respec- ted the city's wish to be free of financial risk. "We are the first to strive for minimal operational costs," he said. But because Los Angeles refused to budge from its demand that the private group accept financial responsibility, Killanin said, "I must therefore con- firm that the proposals are not accep- table." Gopher grid program underinvestigaton By TheAsociated Press MINNEAPOLIS-University of Minnesota officials have ordered an investigation into reports that football coach Cal Stoll made loans to players and allowed payment of a player's personal phone bill. The university newspaper, the Minnesota Daily, reported in a copyright story yesterday that Wendell Avery, a junior and starting quarterback, received undisclosed amounts of money from Stoll both before the start of the 1977 season and during the season. An unnamed source close to Stoll and Avery said Stoll called Avery into his office the week before the Gophers faced Wisconsin in 1977 and told him he would be absolved of his debts to Stoll if Minnesota won the game, the ar- ticle reported. Stoll denied the charges made in the article. "There's no truth to anything that's in it, to my knowledge," he said, ad- ding that the article "is nothing but innuendos and hearsay. "I didn't even know if Wendell was going to start in the Wisconsin game," he said. The article also said one unidentified player claimed Stoll paid $900 of his $1,000 phone bill four years ago. Stoll called that charge "completely false, an out and out lie." "We have every reason for confidence in Coach Stoll," said University Vice President Robert Stein. "But because of the questions these allegations raise about the integrity of our football program, we are taking this matter very seriously. "I am requesting Athletic Director Paul Giel to undertake an immediate investigation of these allegations and to report back to me as quickly as possible," Stein said. He said results of the investigation will be made public. The university basketball program was put on probation by the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1976 for more than 100 rules violations committed between 1971 and 1974 in the program headed by Bill Musselman. Further violations were found in 1976, and the NCAA extended the probation to all university athletic programs. LOS ANGELES SECOND BASEMAN Davey Lopes missed this tag on the Cubs' Ivan DeJesus, but the Dodgers' stretch for the National League West lead gets closer as the season wears on. Although DeJesus stole the base, Los Angeles kept the game, 4-3, to pull within three games of San Francisco.
