(Coach of the United States Ski-Running and Jumping Team.) By the Assoclated Press. AKE PLACID, N. Y., February 4.—For the many years that the Winter Olympics cover, the ski runners and jumpers of Norway and Sweden have ruled the world. We hope to glve them the stiffest opposition they have yet faced in Olympic games, but these two na- tions still carry the banner of cham- plons. The burden of proof is on us. We should make our best showing this year in the ski jumps, despite the presence of the famous Nor- wegian brathers, Sigmund and Bir- ger Rudd, and Kaare Walberg, &s well as Ericsson of Sweden, Should Give Norwegians During the last two weeks I be- lieve that Casper Olmen, twice United States national champion, has been jumping as well as the invaders. They have consistently bettered 200 feet, but so has Oimen, despite the handicap of an injured shor\’ud:ar. Roy Mikkelsen also has jumped beyond the record of 198 feet for the intervale jump here. Switzerland offers a rslr of stub- born contestants in_the jumps in Fritz Kauffman and Cesare Chiogna. Bronisiaw Czech of Poland is dan- gerous. Norway has a double de- fending Oympic champion in Johan Brottumsbraaten, in the combined running and {sxmplng and the 18- kilometer events. Against him in bothg of these struggles we will send EY J.
