JAPAN CpLD? ASK WINTER OLYMPICS TEAM . Skaters, Skiers Dispel Belief All Orient Is Sunny Land By Edward 4. Nell (Associated Press Sports Writer) LAKE PLACID, N. Y. W It. doesn't seem natural for the orient to produce formidable speed and fig ure skaters, ski jumpers and runners. but Japan has done it for the Olym pic Winter games starting February 4. "You " don't seem to understand here." patiently; explains Professor M. Sato, manager of the team, "that Japan consists of a series of lengthy Islands running north- and souths It Is the orient, true, but It Is not always very warm. The climate of northern Japan corresponds about to that of Canada." ' Professor, Sato, member of the -faculty of a university .in Tokio, says that skating Is very popular there, but that northern Japan holds the lure for skiers. The temperature there at times drops as low as 20 .to 30 degrees below zero. Only Two Indoor Kinks "Figure skating in Japan has not developed as far as speed skating and skiing," he explains, "because "This Is not as bad as it sounds, however, because all our figure skat ers come from tho&e two cities and naturally need only one rink for practice. The rinks at least are" where they are needed," Strangely enough Japan drew upon Manchuria, seat of the struggle with China, for three of the best speed skaters on the team. All three are Japanese living In the Chinese province and include the T. Kltanl, also from Manchurlai Is the captain. Along with T.
