Amerk Skate
Squad Hopeful
CHICAGO. Jan. 12 -UP)- The
youngest and strongest of United
States' Olympic speed skating
teams may sharply challenge the
favored Norwegians in the 1948
winter games at St. Moritz, Switz
erland Jan. 30-Feb. 8.
Headed by 25-year-old Bob
Fitzgerald of Minneapolis, who is
the Americans' best bet to grab
one of the four Olympic champ
ionships. Coach Pete Miller's nine-
member squad has six skaters who
were 12 or younger when the Nor
wegians swept the last games in
1936.
On the basis of record-breaking,
the American squad is rated the
best ever assembled and if the
youngsters can master the trick of
racing against time as required
on the Olympics course, Miller
feels they will have the stamina
and endurance to give the Euro
peans quite an argument.
Fitzgerald, who holds or shares
American records at 220, 440 and
800 yards, is expected to glide off
with the 500-meter race, the only
event which resembles a sprint in
the Olympic program.
