SHEA AND JAFFEE
SURPRISE WORLD
Two American Skaters
Take Opening Events in
Winter Olympic Games
" Bv Edward J. 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. -

REED DEFEATS
METROPOULOS
IN PORTLAND
PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 5 VPt In a
fine exhibition of out and out wres
tling here last night, Robin Reed.

out of three falls. Both men -were

After tossing Metropoulos end over
end with a series of whip wrlstlocks,
clamped on a hammcrlock and rath
er than risk a wrenched shoulder,
iPete gave in. Metropoulus showed to
good advantage with reverse head
locks and leg splits in the second
BUinzn, taking tho fall in 20 minutes
20 seconds when he forced Reed to
hammer tho canvas from a wicked leg
split. Reed weakened in tho final
.session and Metropoulos was work
ing hard when he fell through the
ropes, landing on his head with a
stunning blow. Staggering back Into
the ring. Reed again rushed him
through the ropes. With his oppon
ent' so dizzy he could hardly stand.
Rood put on the finishing touches
with a series of whip wrlstlocks.
Dick Raines, 225 pounds, took the
-neml-flnnl from Al Sparks, 210 in tho
fourth round with a whirlwind hold

-PULLMAN, Wash., Feb. 5 W
Washington State and Oregon State,
leaders In the northern division bas
ketball conference meet hero tonight
in -the opening game of a series that
con change the complexion of the
title race. ,t ' , .
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.

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. Under any circum

and blow the works, as the rail
birds would say, at the eighth pole.

'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."
We are glad to have the report
on Mississippi and set the matter
straight. i i .
