Boycott to threaten 1984 Games?
I
BUCHAREST, Romania
(AP)-Americans, Poles, Cubans and
Mexicans scored lopsided basketball
victories yesterday as the World
University Games began under storm
warnings of a new political dispute in
international sports.
The United States beat Senegal, 91-35,
Mexico downed Jordan, 138-33, Cuba
whipped Somalia, 114-54, and Poland
defeated Nigeria, 102-48.
BUT WHILE student athletes took to
the city's gyms and pools in the first
major international games since the
boycotted 1980 Olympics, Juan Antonio
Samaranch, president of the Inter-
national Olympic Committee, said he
was concerned that a planned tour of
the United States by the South African
Springboks rugby team could lead to a
black African boycott of the 1984 Games
in Los Angeles.
According to reports here, the U.S.
State Department has granted visas for
the Springboks to play threematches in
the United States after their current
tour of New Zealand.
Black Africans boycotted the 1976
Montreal Games because some com-
petitors had sporting links with South
Africa.
