TERRACE BAY NEWS Aid November 9, 1967; SPORTS BEAT By Glen May Olympics 1968 A suggested title for the 1968 Olympics might be: "Please Don't Eat The Tacos." For the past few weeks there has been a mountain of contro- versial copy written about the 68 Olympics scheduled for Mexico. And most of the arti- cles have centred around the food and altitude problems fac- ing the athletes. Before we' go any further, let me remind you that the Sports Beat revealed some weeks ago this would be the case. _Now American officials feel they have solved the problem of Mexican food. It is feared that Mexico City's altitude of 7,350 feet will create serious problems for the competitors, and although this is the most talked about medical problem, lack of hygiene threatens to be an even greater hazard to the athletes' ability to compete at peak condition. Although figures on Cana- dian competitors aren't avail- able, a report published by the World Book Encyclopedia Sci- ence Service Inc. says: "One out of every three Americans who venture south of the bor- der become victims of gas- troenteritis, caused by bacteria and characterized by violent and persistent diarrhea, stom- ach cramps and general weak- ness."' This upsetting of the system has become popular among tourists and athletes alike. The last time your scribe was in the land of cactus it was fondly referred to as the Aztec Two- Step or Montezuma's Revenge. However, let's not evade the subject. You know very well what it is -- the trots -- no matter .what pet name you might have for this disaster. In order to combat this un- pleasantness the United States has selected the Olympic Medi- cal and Training Services Com- mittee to investigate the situa- tion. And their findings have FOR SALE - well equipped printing shop.

In fact, the committee went even fur- ther, and suggested the Ameri- can contingent be supplied with its own cooks, equipment and dishes. However, nothihg has been definitely decided. The Canadian team is ex- pected to buy food from the Americans. It could well be that our team will sup with the U.S. squad in order to guard against any physical disorder. This might be an excellent plan as our athletes could un- doubtedly gleam a few useful tips on how to win. At least they will discover how the champions act away from the playing field. The importing of food was first done at the 1965 "Little Olympics" in Mexico City when the French ~ brought along their own culinary ex- perts. They had their food pre- pared at a French restaurant and all of their athletes were healthy and performed reason- ably well. There is one hitch to the American plan. Certain U.S. State Department and Olympic officials feel the plan is impol- ite. Such is the world.of proto- col. "Tt is doubtful that we'll fol- low any of these recommenda- tions," Medical World News quoted a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee - board of directors. "They would surely be an insult to the Mexicans." | This is probably true. i . But it would certainly be an | insult to our athletes and sup- porters if the competitors veered from the finish line - tape to set a 100 metre record racing to the nearest wash- room.
