FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 19.~<United Press.) — America’s winter sports team, if there is any disposition on the part of the public to consider nothing worth while unless won, was a bust in the opening of the 1924 Olympic games. The American team finished fourth, behind Norway, Finland and on wrapping their sticks around American neck: The Americans got sore just be- cause one of the Canadian players said that: “We ought to beat them 10 or 12 to 0." Under the same conditions that prompted that Canadian player to make such a:remark, an American might have been twice as vehement and doubtly certain. The attitude and the actions of the American hockey players went to show conclusively that develop- ment of athletic ethics and stand- ards in this country has not yet passed the point where an Ameri can falls back on the old line: “You might beat me at your game, but I can Uck you.” eee Fourth place among the nineteen nations that competed was nothing to feel ashamed over. Sweden fin. ished fifth, Switzerland seventh and Canada ninth, and those three na- ions have niore natural advantages for the development of winter sports chan the United States, It might be well, however, for the American athletes of other classes t figure that the United States got a beating and made a bust in the opening of the games. It might make the others less cocky and they are all to cocky for comfort. ———— SPORT BRIEFS ST.

Accepting the principle of the American Olympic committee, which {is also being urged upon the public by the leaders of other sport bodies, that victory in competition, while desirablo, Is not essential to uphold our national prestige, the Americans lost with no disgrace. From a broad viewpoint and with a little thought as to what the American team went up against in aspiring to compete against cham- pions of sports in which they might be classed as second-raters, the Americans made a very fine show ing at Chamonix. Asking an American team to com pete against Norwegians in ski- jumping contests imposes the same handicap that Norway would have to carry in playing a game of base ball even against a champion base- ball team of Class B rating. Even at that, Anders Haugen, one of the American jumpers, made the best distance in the long jump, but he was ruled out because his style of jumping wasn’t as graceful and artistic as that of the Norwegians, The method of accomplishment means more, according to the rules quoted, than the actual accomplish- ment. The rule rewarding form, ch placed Haugen fourth instead first, exists no doubt and perhaps is vonsidered as just in the northern countries of Eucope, but it seems ST. PAUL, Minn.—E. Rice and W.
