Opening of 11th Winter Olympics Dims Dissension
Clouds of dissent over the Winter Games largely cleared as 50,000 spectators watched the opening ceremony in Sapporo. Austrian star Karl Schranz was expelled for earning money from advertising and did not attend. The Austrian team entered in red and white, saluting Emperor Hirohito as the Olympic flame was lit, signaling readiness for ice hockey eliminations and the games' start.

Emperor Hirohito Watches Opening of 11th Winter Olympics
AP Special Correspondent Will Grimsley reports Emperor Hirohito in Sapporo, 70, in a royal box for 52 minutes with a sphinxlike demeanor. He showed no smiles or applause, spoke only a terse opening line, and watched the Polish girls and Japanese skater Izumi Tsujimura, while aides whispered and urged him to move. The emperor remained rigid, turning barely at times, as events unfolded.

NCAA to Challenge 1.6 Rule by Court
NCAA officials say they will seek a rehearing to challenge a federal judge ruling that the 1.6 rule violated two Cal Berkeley athletes. The ruling is preliminary and could apply only to the California case, while the NCAA defends the rule’s validity and keeps it in force. Curtis and Brumsey, transferring to San Diego State, had argued the rule imposed an arbitrary standard and had not been applied equally.
