Eriksson Nabs
Marathon Run
Sweden Team Leader,
Finns 2nd, US 3rd
By Harold Claassen
RUMFORD. Me, Feb. 6 -i?V
Gunnar Eriksson, never a champ
ion in his native Sweden, became
the World Ski Marathon title
holder today.
The dark haired Swede, who
stopped six times for a drink of
warm water and honey, raced
through the SO kilometers (31
miles) in an unofficial time of 2
hours, 59 minutes and five seconds
as he and his countrymen swept
the first four places.
The marathon, raced in 10 de
gree temperature over a hard
course, completed the Nordic
phase of the World championships
sponsored by the Federation In
ternationale de Ski.
The Alpine events, downhill and
slalom racing, will be decided at
Aspen, Colo., starting a week from
today.
Only individual titles are de
termined in FIS meets, but if a
team title were decided on a 10-6-
4-3-2-1 basis for the first six
places the unofficial laurels would
go to the Swedes, 57 to Norway's
42 Vi. Finland would be third with
23.
In eight years of trying prior to
today the best Eriksson ever had
done in the 50 kilometer was a
second. But he had finished third
in the 1948 Olympic 18 kilometer
(11 mile race) and also had help
ed Sweden win the Olympic relay.
He kept out of the World Relay
race, which Sweden,' won yester
day, to be fresh for his individual
assault today.
In the unofficial team standings
the United States followed Finland
with three and a half points.
France came next with three and
Canada completed the scoring
with one. Yugoslavia, Switzer
land, Denmark and Austria were
shut out.

BOSTON, Feb. -(P)-Feather-

Hartford, Conn., scored a knock
down with each hand while out
pointing aggressive Roy Andrews
of Lowell, in their 10-round non-
utle boxing bout tonight before
a 7,259 crowd at the Boston Gar
den. ,
Tho stylish Hartford veteran,
who coasted during most of the
second half of the battling, first
dropped Andrews for a nine-count
with a straight left to the face
early in the second session.
And just as that round closed,
Pep followed two lefts and a right
with a bone-crushing right upper
cut that made Andrews topple
over backwards.

a comfortable margin over the
Cougars until the final minutes of
the game. They were ahead 51 to
45 with IVi minutes to go. Then
the Washington Staters let loose
with a furious barrage of shots.
They tried 'em all short shots
and fielders from way out, push
shots, hooks, lay-ins and they
eouldn't miss.
When they had racked up the
final score of 52 to 51, one minute
of the game remained.
The first half of the game was
comparatively slow, with the-
WSC men sinking only four Held
goals. The halftime whistle saw
Oregon leading 26 to 17.
The two teams matched baskets
for a while after the start of the
second half, but then Jack Friel's
Cougars, paced by Ed Gayda, got
hot. They whittled the lead to 38
to 32 after 8Vi minutes.
The referees called 41 fouls to
night 22 on WSC, 10 on Oregon.
