Kansas, i last year's champion, has been toppled from the favored posi tion and the hopes of Iowa State and Kansas State also have faded.'

Weather Causes Bobsled Delays Iii Winter Games By Roland' Alston LAKE PLACID, N. Y., Feb. 12 VP) The bad weather Jinx, active here all winter, hovered over Lake Placid and the third winter Olympic games again today. Rain, whlcft swept down on the Adlrondacks yesterday, brought about two postponements of the four-man bob sled races, one of the big fea tures of the games, and right now It lopks as If they won't take place until Sunday. The first two heats, originally scheduled - for yesterday morning, were put off first to today, then as the-rain continued, to to morrow or Sunday. . Four Championships Remain This second postponement of the bob races had the effect of jamming the schedule for the end of the meet. Four major championships are yet to be determined. The four-man bob sled, the. ski Jump, winner to be ac claimed Olympic champion; the Paris figure skating; and hockey. The skat ing and hockey events can be run off on the artificial ice of the arena. The Norwegian team, led by the formidable Ruud brothers, Slgmund and Birger, were favored to have an easy time in today's ski Jump. The American entries were rated consid erably, below the Norwegians. They Include Caspar Olmon, John Dwight Steele, Roy Mikkelsen and Pedar Fal stead. The only other event on today's program is the pairs figure skating event, in the arena tonight. Seven pairs, representing four nations, are entered. Kiirdpean Skaters Favored In this, as In. the other figure skating . events, .European skaters were .favored. Mr. and Mrs. Pierre Brunet of France, who won the title In the 1028 Olympics, were general ly expected to repeat but, the United States with Sherwin C. Badger and Beatrix . Loughran and George E. B. Hill and Marl be 1 T. Vinson, was ex pected to wla some, of the higher places. The Canadian pair of Mont gomery Wilson and his sister, Con stance Wilson Samuel, also were rated high. Today's program, outside of the hob sled possibility, Includes the 50-kUo-meter ski race and two hockey gomes. Canada, so. far undefeated, and the United States will clash In the final and probably the deciding game of the hockey contest while Germany and Poland Will battle for third place. ...

Could (Associated Press Sports Editor) The rush of the American Olympic winter forces, led by Dartmouth's flashy Jack Shea; Is the tlpoff on what is quite likely to happen all along the Olympic war fronts this year. Uncle Sam's boys and girls, en trenched in their own back yards of competition, have a big advantage to start with. In conditions alone. On top of that, the Invading talent is much less numerous, even though It Includes 'most of the outstanding foreign stars. Of course it won't be any runaway at Lob Angeles. The Finnish bri gade, led by Faavo Nurml, Lourl Lehtinen and a few others, will at tend to that, if the others don't. But the Americans, .in full force and confident, will possess advantages that should mean a bigger share of track and field titles for the U. S. A. than in any Olympiad since 1804.

' T1II1II.I, MAX PEMPSEY "Two of the moat thrilling sport ing events 1 have covered," wrote Larry OrUl: of the Phoenix (Ariz.) Gazette, In answer to our question naire, "were the Willard-Dempsey fight at Toledo and the Dempsey Glbbons fight at Shelby. That first round at Toledo when the bell Jammed and saved Wlllard from a knockout after Referee Ollie Pecord had counted him out was one of the most dramatic scenes in pugilistic history. (By the way, did you know that Pecord has retired after 43 years of refereeing?) "The Dempsey-GJbbons fight gave me a thrill, not because of the fight Itself, but because of the Intense hostility of the crowd toward Demp sey and Kearns. There was elec tricity in the air and had Dempsey stopped Tommy there might have been trouble."
