Organizers announced that the 1984 Olym- pic Games made a $150 million profit. (A far cry from the 1976 Montreal Games which left the city with a $1 billion deficit.) Harry Usher, Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee (LAOOC) general manager, said that 97 per cent of all tickets offered were sold, resulting in revenues of $150 million, $50 million more than was budgeted. One year ago, a $15.5 million dollar profit was projected from an estimated $513 million revenue. Revenues were actually. $619 million. The large surplus will be distributed to four areas. Approximately $75 million will go to the U.S. Olympic Committee to sup- port amateur athletics throughout the na- tion. Another $50 million will go to the newly created LAOOC Amateur Athletic Founda- tion to benefit amateurs in Southern Califor- nia. Twenty-five million dollars will go to the LAOOC reserve to cover costs of shutting down the Games as well as to cover finan- cial obligations. Officials are also looking at giving some money to the Third World na- tions that participated in the Olympics. A whopping $150,000,000! Just look at all those zeros! Yet organizers say that the Games were not marked by commer- cialism. By Anne MLQrQjko Peter Ueberroth, president of LAOOC, put his entrepreneurship to work and found a way to avoid public funding, turning the Games into the first "corporate Olympics." The LAOOC raised money from television contracts, commercial sponsorships and licenses, and sales of tickets and com- memorative coins. Ueberroth is to take over as commissioner of major league baseball next month. If he continues to carry on the way he handled the 1984 Olympic Games, he has nothing to worry about. Now, lets look at the 1988 Winter Olym- pics. Yes, there is a threat of another boycott. However, Roger Jackson, Presi- dent of the Canadian Olympic Association, said that the threat should not be taken seriously. As many as seven countries may join the boycott, protesting the International Olym- pic Committee's decision to extend the Calgary games to 16 days from 12. The boycott threat, by the International Ice Hockey Federation, is being lead by the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakian, Swedish and West German teams. Expected to join them are Finland, Yugoslavia and Austria. When will this business of boycotting end? It's becoming a little too predictable. Now when someone mentions the Olympic Games, conversation goes to "what coun 'l tries are going to boycott this time?" or "who's going to lead the boycott?" Better yet, "why?" If the games are extended an extra four days, then they're extended an extra four days. C'est la vie! `Stangs take wins and losses in three exhibition rounds The Clinton Junior C .Mustangs played three exhibition games this past week, drop- ping two and winning one. Norwich dominated the Mustangs during a Wednesday game. The Norwich team shut out the Clinton team, 9-0. During the Saturday exhibition game the Mustangs counted their first win with a 7-6 victory over Kincardine. According to manager Wayne Wiggins, the line standing out during the Kincardine game was that of John Thompson, Sean Ladd and Bobby Van Dongen. "We probably played better on Sunday when we lost, than on Saturday when we won," said Mr. Wiggins of the Sunday game against Wingham. "Penalties probably cost us the game. We were winning 6-4, then we took some penalties." He noted the line of Brad Armstrong, Doug Zimmer and Pete Willens was the best during the September 30 match. The Mustangs' regular season begins with an away game October 5. The first home game will be October 7 at 7 p.m. At that time the team will have been trimmed down to about 19 players from about 27, said Mr. Wiggins. At the local lanes Tuesday. Ladies September 25 saw Mary's Dolphins and Nora's Escargots of the Tuesday afternoon ladies' league pull ahead of the rest. of the teams by a two point margin. The rest of the teams competing in the league are not far behind, though, with Dale's Whales at 16 and Mert's Minnows a point behind them with 15 points. Karen's Krayfish and Alice's .Oysters are also tied in the middle of the pack with 14 Francyna's Lobsters have 13 and Sheila's Sharks have 12 points. Gwen Johnston had the high single with 279 points while Pat Taylor had the high tri- • ple with 744. The high average of 203 points belonged to Karen Pounder. ' Ladies scoring over 225 were Candace Elliott with 273, Pat Taylor with 271, 239 and 234, Lorraine Fisher with 260, Iva Reid posted a 241 and Karen Pounder had a 238. Iva Reid and Gwen Johnston also had high averages with 202 and 201 respectively. Lt ndesboro Men The Jaguars have taken first place in the Londesboro Men's League during action on September, 27.

"��.4 f',, Redrnen win first season match CLINTON - The CMS Redman recorded their first aeason win on September 26, defeating Stratford Central 37.6. "®The defence ,played real well and the of- fence played their best this season," com- mented Coach Iden Reidy. Austin Roorda lead the way offensively, scoring three touchdowns and kicking a single point. Doug McLean also had a good game for the Redmen. Travis Lyndon took a 30 yard pass from quarterback Don Hearn and turned it into six points, adding to the Redmen's. lead. Darryl Hoegy scored one touchdown and scored a two point convert on a reverse Ploy. Coach Reidy felt that the tone of the game was set in the first quarter when a Stratford player Was tacifle4 at the 10 yard line. Following this play, the Stratford punt was blocked giving the Ref/loon more en- thusiasm. The series( of plays resulted in a safety touch, The Redman will travel to Palmerston on October 4 where they will face Norwell. Stratford has defeated the Norwell team once this year, so the Redmen's chances look good. Darryl Hoegy (21) takes to the air in an attempt to block a pass and almost gets the football hitting his helmet. Hoegy, who played an important role in the Redmen's 37-6 win over Stratford last week, was all over the field. The Redmen travel to Palmerston on October 4 where they will face Norwich.
