doesn't seem natural for the orient
to produce formidable speed and fig

Professor, Sato, member of the -faculty

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
