He is improving rapidly, says his coach, and looms as the cleverest prospect on the squad. To date the pair have scored 105 points for their team, Jensen nabbing 56 marks and Braun 49, shooting them out in front of a lot of busy cage traffic.

NEIL, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. I AKE PLACID, N. Y, January | 15.—A plea for snow and cold welled up from this Winter sports center today as an almost unprecedented thaw hampered preparations for the Winter section of the Olympic games, February 4 to 13. Already the warm sun and| balmy air had stripped the Adi- rondack mountainsides about Lake Placid of the snow that at this time of the year usually stands feet deep. Lake Mirror and Lake »lacid were almost bare of ice. There were green spots on brown | fields and lawns. No date for the bob sleigh pre- liminaries originally scheduled for today and Saturday can be set definitely until | cold and snow return. The ice 1ayer|‘ on the bob run, painstakingly frozen on | with sprayer streams of water to depths | as great as 10 inches, has wilted away | except on the upper reaches of the slide, the fastest and most spectacular run ever built. Much Freezing Needed. It is estimated that at least four days | of freezing weather will be needed to | put the slide back in condition. One four-man bob sled team is headed | by Billy Fiske, who captained the win- ning combination in 1928 at St. Moritz, | another by Henry Homberger of Saranac | Lake, who set a world record of| 1 minute 52 seconds for the 1l>-mile | run on the slide here last Winter, and | | | a third by Hunter Goodrich of Mil- | N waukee, a former winner of the grand national run on the Cresta course at| St. Moritz. Thus far the Winter Olympics delega- tion from Japan, a formidable looking outfit and the only nation already at full strength here, has been the center | of attraction. The Japanese brought two figure | skaters, four speed skaters, nine skilers and a complete retinue of cooks and at- tendants, and they were earliest in camp. Each day the skaters work out for hours in the huge Olympic arena on the artificial ice surface and their form has_aroused much favorable comment. The youngest competitor in the en- tire Olympic program that runs here from February 4 through February 13 and winds up in Los Angeles next Sum- mer is little Miss Cecilia Colledge, 11- year-old figure skater from Great Brit- ain, whe finished second in the British | national championships a few weeks ago. She arrived yesterday with her trainer. The girl who defeated her for the British title, 12-year-old Megan Taylor, is expected tomorrow. Finns, Swedes Due Soon. Only one member of the Finnish team, Marcus Nikkanen, figure skating champion, has arrived, along with a single representative of Sweden, W. Sven Utterstrom, world champion cross- country ski runner. The full teams of both nations are expected within a few 2ys. While the Norwegian team is miss- ing such a famous member as Sonja Henie, international women's figure- | skating champion, who will not reach here until February, it comes closest to Japan in ability to muster full strength | now. In the Norwegian camp, hoping | for an immediate turn in the weather, are Sigmund Rudd, who holds the dis- tance ski jump record, with a leap of 265 feet last year; Johan Grottums- braaten, only man to compete in both Troopers ;i'(;pple Talkative Typos 'YATTSVILLE, Md., January 15. —Union Printers literally talked themselves out of a basket ball game here last night when they suffered a 27-26 defeat at the hands of Company F, Na- tional Guard, on the armory court. The Typos were leading the Sol- dlers, 26 to 25, in the closing stages of the game, when Lieut. Sam Cros- thwait of the Guards was awarded a foul shot. The Typos protested Referee Milton Dix's decision so energetically that Crosthwait was given two tries. He made both of them good to put Company F ahead by a lone point. It was close all the wi with the Soldiers holding an 18-14 advantage at half time. A game for Company F for the armory court Sunday is sought with an unlimited class quint. Call Lieut.
