I1 . LAKE PLACID. N. Y., Feb. 5 (-r The 1932 : winter Olympics are ' Just one day old and yet the village of Laker placid already Is groggy from the surprises and thrills of the first of . these International struggles ever staged In the United States. - In the first place not even the most enthusiastic 'of all the natives had any Idea that-the -famed speedsters of Norway, .Finland and Sweden, with records of1 conquests lh past Olynv plOVlYictorles over time, form), ex perience and the world at large, could stand, so beaten as they do today. Two Surprise Wins Tet on the record of tho first day of the -Olympics stand -the amazing conquest of Irving Jaffee, a boy from . the .sidewalks of New York, who learned his skating In a two-by-four rink on 62nd street' while the Scan ' dlnavians were living on steeh blades outdoors, and the triumph of Jack ' Shea, a local boy "Who grew up on the. ice of Placid and Mirror lakes, Just down the road. - - Shea, a sophomore at Dartmouth,, won the 500 meters final and de feated by five-full yards Bernt Even en, .world champion, .record holder, , supposedly invincible at that dis ; tance. . . ..Jaffee, slim Wall street broker's clerk, was even more Impressive In the 6000 meters final, spotting all but one of the field a dozen yards In the last lap and still beating them to the finish line. Spurt Wins For "Jaffee , Trailing in fifth place a lap from home, Jaffee flew through a furious snowstorm, passed all but Eddie Mur ray, his team mate from Chicago, and then nipped htm by inches at the tape. In that group at his heels was Jvar. -Ballangrud of Norway, Olympic champion at tho distance In 1828, holder of -the world's record 'Which Jafee came no where near equalling. t: Overnight the United States became an outstanding favorite to sweep the games., although the hockey situa tion was not brightened by Canada's 2 to I overtime victory over the home brcds, while Germany was beating Poland by the same score. ..Today the 1500 meters trials and final were scheduled with Shea, :Ray Murray, Lloyd Guenther and Herbert Taylor facing the some foreign con tingents with growing confidence. Garwood Again Cracks , Record ; Heldjby K. Don MIAMI BEACH, Flo., Feb. 5 (JF) Gar Wood claimed a new world's speed boat record today with a two way -average speed of 111.712 -miles an hour on the Indian creek course here with -his Miss America IX. i He was clocked at 112.434 miles an hour on a southward run over the nautical mile, and 110.989 miles an hour on a northward run. The average of the two runs, as required by national yachtsman's association rules, gave him the average of 111.712 as compared with .the old record of 110.223 held by Kaye Don of England. The elapsed time for the southward run was 38.87 seconds, and for the northward run 37.35 seconds. . ( The average speed was figured in statute miles an hour. The run was made over a measured nautical mile 1 course. ' i ' Wood's speed was 1.489 miles an hour-faster than that of Don when he set 'the world's record -on Lake Garda, Italy, last July. International yachtsman's associa tion -rules required that 'he exceed Don's mark by ; half a mile an 'hour to establish 'a new record. The veteran racer said - he --was "happy to bring the world's 'speed boat record back to America." -- The -Indian Creek course Was In perfect condition for the run today. There was only a slight breeze, and the placid waters appeared almost without a -ripple. The speed was checked with elec trical timing devices. - Oregon Staters And Cougars To , Battle Tonight ,. . -VERTEBRAE BROKEN LAKE PLACID, N.

A -clean sweep for the Cougars would -shoot them well on the road for -the title, while a double win for the Beavers would send the leaders into second place, and clear the way for ties with second division teams. Baffled by Oregon State's peculiar but effective defense In previous en counters, 'the Cougars have perfected a new type of offense for tonight's game. It was developed behind closed doors, but Coach Jack Prlel said it should puncture any defense Oregon State has used this season. OUT OUR WAY . - ' ; By J. R. Williams vM y I SH' HOO'RE A f, vf .

To most observers It would seem that Sharkey cannot be much bet ter than he was in 1930, If, In fact, he Is as good.

'Ole Miss Boxing Strong Even If it's a trifle belated, may wo hasten to -say that it was Mis souri, - not Mississippi, where one of our scouts 'reported "four, 'wres tling fans to each boxing fanatic In 1931." One runs into another, of. course. . ..when -you are talking about rivers, -but 'this report con cerned our 'sports poll and the fact is that the two are for apart. "The truth 'Of the matter," writes Paul Tiblier, sports editor of the Bllqxl -Gulf port Dally Herald, "is we have been staging boxing matches here -since Feb. -7,. 1B82, when John L. Sullivan knocked out Paddy Ryan In nine rounds . at Mississippi City, npw a suburb of this city. . "Boxing matches - here and in Biloxl, Bay St, Louis ..and Posca goula, the four Mississippi coast cities, have v always attracted good crowds. Efforts to stage wrestling matches has failed, as the 'fans here don't think much of the wrestling game. They seem to know the 'names of every good boxer in the country ' and - are not interested in the 'rasslin' racket' even If they were guaranteed a straight show."
