Y., was criticized Thursday by Julius Blegen, coach of the United States team, who recommended that a pro- test be filed with the international skt federation. Blegen directed his criticism at Dr. Francois Laco of France, one of the three judges, asserting that his scor- ing unfairly shunted Casper Oimen, from third to fifth place. Oimen, who lives at Minot, N. D., skiis for the Canton, 8. D., club. The coach made his recommenda- tion in a report of the competition, in which Norway made a clean sweep of the first four places, to L. Deyo, of the Bear Mountain Sports asso- ciation of New York, president of the National Ski Association of America. Blegen said ski jumping was one of the few events in the Olympics which did not result in dissension during some stage of the competition and that he is reluctant to protest except in the interest of obtaining better judging in future meets. “Oimen was awarded an abnormal- ly low style rating on the first of his two jumps by Dr. Lacq, so low in fact that it is laughable when compared with rating given to other inferior jumps,” Blegen said. “In the second place, it was found that figures on the score sheets had been changed. For instance, Walberg of Norway, who was put in third place in the final list, was rated at 174 points for style, out of a possi- ble 20, and later the figures were changed to 184s. “It was the concensus among most ski experts that Oimen was entitled to third place in the final standings but instead he was engineered into fifth place.” Blegen praised the judging of John Klerker of Sweden and did not com- ment on that of Sigurd Lockerberg of Canada.

Both teams showed the effects of games the previous evening and the lack of enthusiasm which results from small crowds of spectators was reflected further in the: contest. ‘Tuesday evening the Phantoms had thumped the Jamestown college quint and the Vikings had lost a tough struggle to the Dickinson teachers by @ one-point margin.

Regular Quint Enters At the beginning of the second quarter McLeod sent his regular quint into the fray and the margin of superiority over the Vikings was in- creased considerably. The Bismarck- ers led 16 to 8 at the halfway mark. The Valley Citians spurted at the beginning of the second half but the Bismarck machine began to click soon and the threat from the visitors was stopped in short order. The game afforded local fans a chance to see three former Valley City high school stars, who partic- ipated in colorful high school basket- ball tournaments a few years ago, in action. These were Thoreson, who was the main Viking scoring threat Wednesday evening, Owens, who also Played a good game, and Ferguson. If the Vikings had an outstanding pond it was Thoreson. ‘or. the starting Phantom five, Leonard “Sheik” McRae at center carried the most heavy duties. In- cluded-in the shock troops were two sets of brothers, Fay and Henry Brown and Eddie and John Spriggs. George Heidt Brilliant George Heidt, at guard, played his usual good floor game and in addition, contributed to the Phantom scoring, while Mike Geston was able defen- sively. Gus Schwartz, center, and George “Shaky” Schaumberg and Karl Thornburg, forwards, did not reach their usual fast-breaking click- ing offensive play.

S. London, Feb. 18.—(?)—Despite the death of Sir Thomas Lipton, who was believed ¢o be the only British yachtsman who could af- ford to challenge for the Amer- ica’s cup, there are strong indica- tions that another British chal- lenge for this historic trophy may be forthcoming soon. ‘The British Racing Union has adopted a resolution, addressed to the New York Yacht club, which holds the trophy, requesting that suggestions be considered modify- ing the present rules of construc- tion of the masts of Class J yachts, the cup class. After the Enterprise, carrying a duraluminum mast, outraced Shamrock V in 1930, a minimum weight rule for masts was passed, that they must weigh at least 5,800 ‘The sug- gestion made by the British Union yesterday was that the masts be made either of wood or steel and that the minimum mast weight tule be altered to cover all fittings attached to the masts for sails and rigging. The si were believed to be the first indication of a new British challenge for the cup.

The “Little Giant,” as he is known around training southern gridirons, is Groom Stanford Junior For Great ‘Iron Man’ Stunt in Track Events . ‘The first half-mile Ben ran in practice he was clocked in 1:52.2. ‘Templeton thinks Ben will be ready this season to break the world’s records both at 440 and 880 And he thinks the youth will be one of the “big guns” of the Olympics at Los Angeles. For his part, Eastman neither is dubious nor over-confident. He says he’s “just going to run.” He has no hobbies and admits he’s not a “personality kid.” He is an average youth, of good family and well behaved. He is majoring in economics. Ben's older brother, Sam, is a miler on the Stanford squad, but is not such a star as Ben. How- ever, Ben said he got more thrill out of watching Sam win a race last year than he did in running the last lap of a mile relay in which the Stanford team set a new world’s record of 3:12.6. In running that lap, Ben whiz- zed around the track in 47 sec- onds flat. Later, in practice, ‘Templeton clocked him at 21 3-10 seconds in the 220-yard dash, less than a second over the world mark, now in New York for a career on the mat.

The Stanford junior, who startled the track world last year by tying the world’s record for the quarter-mile and running the half in only a shade over record time, is being primed by Coach Dink Templeton to do almost everything except high jump and throw the weights in the ap- Proaching outdoor campaign. The sandy-haired, studious youngster is going to run the 220, 440, and 880-yard distances and carry the baton one lap on Stan- ford’s mile relay team. Such a campaign promises to put him in fine fettle for the Olympics. Last year he ran the quarter- mile in 47 4-10 seconds to tie the world’s record establsihed by Ted Meredith.
