to get the 1972 Winter Olympic. | Games ‘but politics also played | a large part iA the decision, | Canadian sportswriters Say. |

The International Olympic Committee,» meeting in Rome Tuesday, awarded the Games to | Sapporo, Japan. It also chose | Munich, Germany, over Mont- | Teal as the site of the 1972 sum- | mer Olympics

It was Banff's third attempt | to obtain the Games. Montreal | was making its first bid. |

Some sportswriters suggested | that the appeal of the Orient to foreigners and Japan's’ success- ful staging of the 1964 summer | Games at Tokyo helped to sway the decision. : |

Canadian wildlife and conser- vation groups opposed the selec- tion of Banff as the site hecause they felt the Games would harm |

“that area” of the | Rocky Mountains. j

Hal Sigurdson,, sports editor | ofthe Calgary Albertan, wrote: | “It was not Montreal that was | Olympic ‘72s most formidable | enemy or even the sincere but | misguided souls in those wild- life and. conservation groups. : In the final analysis, Banff | fell victim to the lure of ,the Orient, Even~Banff just can’t |

Phoenix, Cam McKenzie com- mented: “They say. politics doesn’t enter into the Olympics, but it would appear strings were definitely pulled: this time.~. > T} I don’t think the part played by the wildlife people alone was sufficient to turn the vote against the. picturesque Rocky Mountain resort.’

Hal. Walker of the Calgary Herald said: ‘“‘Much as the. In- ternational Olympic Committee likes to maintain it is not po-

Montreal Habs

In Trouble - By CHRIS ANNETT 662/38 %... Thats the percentages of games that Mon-

play 80% hockey to take the cup. Broken dow: ans the Habs must take four out of the five remaining\ga in the series and that is a large chore for any team. O con- solation though, Montreal has not lost four games in a row all season.

Nevertheless the way that things are going now the Habs are going to end up on the short end of the final count and they are going to have to come up with a Herculan effort this evening to get back inte the series. The Wings have skated with ‘the Flying Frenchmen throughout the series so far and there is no indication that they are about to stop. This checking game of the Wings had disrupted the Habs attack that still has not completely recovered from that cost- ly ten day layoff.

Abel is going with his youngsters throughout the game and so far the moves have been’ paying off. Nevertheless it has taken stependous work by Roger Crozier in the Detroit cage to keep the Habs at bay. f

Several reasons prompt me to say that Montreal is going to take at least one and perhaps two games out-of Detroit. (This is not prejudice, it’s just sound logic.) First

—;—and-foremost,-Montreal_is_ going to _be.away from the pres-_

sure of its home town fans and perhaps this will give them a boost of sorts.” Then “Montreal can’t play too—much—more badly and they are bound to break their slump soon. Detroit has been getting some breaks around the net and quoting the TV announcer, they got two of the wierdest goals ever seen in playoff hockey Tuesday evening. Montreal is due for some luck soon. Roger Crozier, star that he is, is bound to let down a bit soon. And finally the Wings are going to be a bit- overconfident holding a_two game lead and- playing—be- fore their own home fans. cee
