Y., Feb. 4.—(?) —My sail of 110 feet through the air after cracking up in zigzag was the greatest thrill of my en- tire racing career. | The injury to my arm is noth- | ing at all.

German Bob Sled Captain Describes Sensation During Spectacular Crash der its responsibility to Germany in the Olympic games. During my 26 years of bob sled- | ding I've beén in five accidents, | not a bad average for any sport, ; but I never before took an air- if we really should have been killed through the air at terrific speed for 110 feet, then drop him 45 feet more into a thicket of trees, stumps and rocks, and you expect to find him dead. I feel some- thing like the cat with nine lives. Every member of my team is keen to get back into the game. I guess that’s what bob sledding does to you. You take hold of it and you can't let it drop—at least until it drops you. But I must say this is a won- derful place to have an accident if you must be injured some- games at least we can take our places with the German delega- tion at the ceremonies today. I would do that if I had broken winter games, the first ever held in the United States. So sleigh bells jingled, the gaily bedecked skiers wandered the streets and trails, heading for the opening ceremonies where a local boy, Jack Shea, waited to take the Olympic oath from Governor Roosevelt with all the athletes of all 17 nations, standing in a semi-circle behind him in salute. Shea was a favorite to win one of the three trials in the opening event, the 500 metres speed skating event, and the final after the morning hockey game between Canada and the United States. In the afternoon the 5,000 metres trials were scheduled, with the final following the hockey game between Germany and Poland. Ivar Ballangrud, of Norway, de- fending his Olympic championship was the 5,000 metres favorite, al- though Irving Jaffee, United States star, was expected to give him a tus- sle. Ins stamped him the country’s lead- ing Davis cup team hope. Vines likes tennis but the social ob- ligations that go hand in hand with the national title bore him. He gets sleepy at nine o'clock when most gatherings are called into session and he is ready to leave before 11, Usual- ly-he does. : He doesn’t care for dancing and he feels awkward on a floor. He likes bridge but doesn’t play much because he can’t find partners to go with his game. His friends either are too good or not good enough. He is willing to admit that luck, Perhaps more than any other factor, shot him to the top of the American tennis world last summer, but he wants it distinctly understood the same good fortune doesn’t account for: the fact that he is a good student. As far back as Vines can remember, finances have been his chief worry. He has been offered large sums to turn professional and he could use the money. But he is determined to remain an amateur and play as such. Vines lives in constant fear that someone will consider him “high hat.” BELFIELD ON: TOP IN COURT LEAGUE on a bob. You know, man and throw him AMERICANS AND CANADIANS RULE AS HOCKEY FAVORITES By Alfred Winsor, United States Olympic hockey coach. Lake Placid, N. Y., Feb. 4—(P)— The effort of the United States hockey team to put an end to Can- ada’s domination of Olympic compe- tition will, in my opinion, provide one of the finest contests of the entire winter games. We have a good team, a strong team, a well-knit organization we can't race in the from the Mosset. Mel Engles, Medina, drew with Dixie Miller, Sioux City, Iowa, over the four-round route. Mel started off well to win the first two rounds but Miller came back nailing with hard fights in the third to take the round by a wide margin. Engles ral- lied in the fourth but was shaded in that stanza as well. His early ad- vantage was good enough, however, to earn him a draw. Ray Gramling, Regan, and Bennie Rice, Mandan, flailed away with everything they had to fight four wild rounds to a draw. Bennie had the edge in boxing skill but Ray evened things up with his aggressive- ness and his habit of throwing leath- er from start to finish. In the three-round curtain raisers, ‘Ted Small of Bismarck outpointed Vern Gramling, Regan, and John Morris, Bismarck, won from Melvin Mutchler, also of Bismarck.

But past experience shown no hockey team is invinci- ble. For that reason, of course, Germany and Poland, the only other entries, might possibly come through but it seems unlikely on the record of past performances. Canada has the team we must beat. It is quite conceivable that Olympic rules will aid our chances, particular- ly if the tournament resolves into a Canadian-American fight. Olympic rules, which allow no forward passing in the middle or the offense zones, militate against the effectiveness of brilliant individuals, ‘CONFERS WITH IOWANS Towa City, Ia.
