Game Called Off Last Saturday's scheduled Bismarck- Minot game was called off when the local high school squad, traveling by automobile, ran into heavy roads and were forced to turn back after getting 4 as far as Wilton. Blocked roads also forced the can- cellation of the Phantom-Beulah a game at Beulah Saturday night but ’ the local independents got through to Glen Ullin Sunday and emerged froin the game with a convincing 47-35 vic- tory.

S. Speed, Figure Skating Squads Face Big Odds in Olympic Wants to Beat pects of the United States teams entered in the 1936 Winter Olym- pic games in Germany. Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, name for ii—the Olympics. But back in 776 B. C., when the great athletic festival came into full swing, the wor- shippers of Zeus knew little of ice skating, bobsledding, hockey, and skiing; rather, they tended to athletics in a clime that enabled them to wear (NEA), Jan. 27.—The Greeks had al loin cloths, or less. But since 1924, winter games have held a place in modern Olympics and here, from Feb. 6 to 16, Uncle Sam will battle the best of the world. Back in 1932, when the winter games were held at Lake Placid, Uncle Sam's charges annexed the bob- sled and speed skating honors, leav- ing the hockey championship to Can- ada, the skiing glory to Sweden, Nor- way, and Finland, and the figure skating titles to Sonja Henie of Nor- way and Karl Schaefer of Austria. Despite agitation against participa- tion in the 1936 Olympics that arose in the United States a few months ago, Uncle Sam has shipped squads across to compete\ in all winter sports. The task that confronts these teams is Herculean, because they are invading a section where skiing, bob- sledding arid skating are second na- ture, and where hockey is catching on like a forest fire. Probably the most difficult assign- ment is that given the speed skating team. This squad, composed of Eddie Schroeder and Leo Freisinger, Chi- cago; Robert Peterson and Delbert} Lamb, Milwaukee, end Allan W. Potts of New York, is faced with racing for the first time under a strange sys- Skaters Race Pop Time The 1936. Olympic speed skating races will be run against time, with the competitor turning in the fastest time winning. This doesn’t shape np with the style use in the 1932 races at Lake Placid, in which the man finishing first against the whole field was declared winner, and under which Jack Shea won the 500 and 1500-me- ter races, and Irving Jaffe the 5,000 and 10,000-meter events. Under the European style, all skat- ers are banded together. Two names are pulled from a hat and the two racers compete on the 400-meter track in a short race. The course is laid out in two lanes, separated by a wall of hard snow. There is one break in the wall, and at that point the two competitors cross lanes and change, the elapsed time in covering the distance, after all duos have raced, determines the win- ner. Americans, other than Eddie Schroeder, who was invited to skate in Oslo in 1933, and won only after he had mastered the European style of racing, are inexperienced in this type of skating. Although they have trained diligently under Bill Taylor, Olympic coach, in Norway, it is doubt- ful if they can master, the new style of skating well enough to cope with such bladesmen as Ballangrud, Even- sen, Stiepl, Wazulek, and Mathiesen from the cold countries, who are ex- perts at skating against time. Schroeder U. 8. Hope Even at the odds the Americans are honors rests between Norway and the United States, as it did in 1932, The Americans have two expert skateys of Olympic experience in Potts and Schroeder, and the latter is ac- quainted with the European system. If they can stave off the challenges of the cold country reliables, they may turn the tables and win a couple of races and some points for Uncle Sam. In the field of figure skating, the outlook is nearly as dark as in the speed skating division. America’s main reliance is on the two national title winners, Maribel Y. Vinson of Boston, and 15-year-old Robin Lee of St. Paul. Both these skaters have real talent, but, compared with such stars as Sonja Henie and Karl Schaefer, they seemed unequal to the task. Europe is the place where figure skating originated. Germany, France. Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and England long have considered the art of cutting capers on the curved blades as poetic pageantry and it is improbable that the American team —others on the squad are Erle Reiter, George E. B. Hill, Lester Madden, Audrey Peppe, Louise and Estelle Weigel, and Grace Madden—can win an event that has been taken by rep- resentatives from Austria, Norway, Sweden, and France since its incep- tion.

OUT OUR WAY a Games Griffith, Big Ten Reports Absolve Buckeye Athletes Grid Stalwarts Obtained Work on Own Initiative, Investi- gation Shows Chicago, Jan. 272—(4)—In a double barrelled ruling Monday, 15 Ohio State football players whose names appeared on the state payroll at Col- umbus were absolved from all charges and insinuations, Two individual reports were made, one by Major John L. Griffith and the other by the Big Ten committee, on the infraction of rules, acting as © @ high court of inquiry, Investigation resulted from a state- ment attributed to Governor Martin L, Davey of Ohio last October, when he was quoted as saying: “We have done éverything we can to help the Ohio State team and have most of the football squad on the state payroll.” Only Joking, Says Davey Later Gov. Davey explained in sub- stance that he was only joking, but the investigation was demanded of Major Griffith, Big Ten commission- er, by the Ohio State athletic board. “After careful investigation and close study of the evidence,” Major Griffith’s report read, “it seems clear, first, that the 15 football men who were employed by the state of Ohio from November 1, 1934, to Nov. 1, 1935, obtained their appointments on their own initiative and through the help of personal friends; second, that they were paid at the same rate as others who were not engaged in ath- letics; third, that there was no dis- Portion in the number of jobs held by athletes, and fourth, that their work was so arranged that it would not in- teffere with their university tasks.” Major Griffith found that many students wer employed as pages and bill clerks in the house of representa- tives and in the senate. Other Students Employed “Some students from Capitol Uni- versity at Columbus, were also em- ployed by the department of public works,” the report continued. “The highway department gave employ- ment to a number of athletes, some of whom were enrolled in universities, other than Ohio Statt. For instance, I found that Joseph Clauss of the University of Wisconsin, and Robert Purdy, were employed during the last two summers by the Ohio highway department.” In summarizing the report Major Griffith {ound that the work per- formed by. the faptball players was the same as that performed by other reg- ular employes, that the athletes were paid the same as were non-athletes holding similar jobs; that the per- centage of students not engaged in athletics but who were employed by the state was far in excess of the number of athletes employed and that all athletes in question obtained their jobs on their own initiative and with the aid of friends. Football-Polo Makes Debut in Hollywood Hollywood, Calif. Jan. 27.—(?)— Football has jumped into the saddle in the movie colony. Putting the players on horses and using football rules along with a few borrowed from polo, Victor McLeglen, the athletic actor, is working out a new game, which probably will have its premiere in about two weeks. Punting will be done by the ponies from a placement position on the ground. To tackle a ball carrier, the tackler must “tag” the rider in much the same manner that “touch” foot- ball is played. ‘The pass from center will be made with the ball originally resting on the ground and propelled by a player leaning down from the saddle. As- sisting the actor. in the development of “horse football” are three former football players, Ted Key, Homer Grit- fith and Irvine (Cotton) Warburton.
