upset of early season predictions by

basketball conlerence races has stc-ond-guessors

bridges. ,1
Dartmouth, conceded only a fair
chance to land the Eastern Inter.

of the field, and it will take heroic
action by Princeton, Columbia and

out of the running.

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.

(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.
Which is not to say, of course,
that our boys might not do a pretty
fair Job for themselves under any
circumstances and in boom times.

round at Toledo when the bell

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

"The Dempsey-GJbbons fight gave
me a thrill, not because of the fight
