The week end series between Washing-ton's Huskies and the AYebfoots was one of the pivotal pair of the Northern Division scramble in that it was the test to indicate if Bill Borcher's men, riding on top with two straight wins, really were going anyplace in the race. - As it was, the Huskies steamrollered the Ducks in both engage mnts and made a mighty lunge toward the division crown and probably the Coast gonfalon . . .

Victor Gottschalk, a ski instruc tor, died Saturday of. suffocation after he was dug out of the ava lanche which swept away one sta tion of the resort's No 4 lift. The two persons still missing were identified as Arthur Gard ner, 39, New York City, and Stu art Fraser, 35, Ensenada, Mexico. The slide covers an area of about eight-tenths of a mile long and a quarter mile wide. Sun Valley had a record snow fall of 66 inches last week, high est total in 40 years.

(JP) Refusing to crack under the relentless pressure, Ted Kroll of New Hartford, N.Y., came through with an other sub par performance Sunday to win his first major golf tourna ment with a 12 under par 72-hole total of 276 in the $10,000 San Diego Open The New Yorker banged out a 70 that was a bright as the skies above and achieved one of those rare things in golf a win from wire to wire. Leads All the Way Kroll, 32, kept the lead all the way and shook off veteran Jim my Demaret's determined bid in the finale, finishing three strokes in front. Demaret started out four strokes back at noon, and along about the 12th hole he had pulled up to within two shots of the leader. Edres Oat Demaret Kroll was playing in a twosome behind Demaret. When Jimmy posted his 69, the pressure was on. But Kroll, whose eagle three on the eighth was one of the best shots of the tournament, birdied No. 14 and 16, the gallery sensed he was in. The win, registered over the none too difficult par 36-36 72 of the San Diego Country Club, brought Kroll $2,000, and Dama ret $1,400. The golfers soon dispersed, most of them heading to Arizona for the Phoenix Open next week. A few headed for Palm Springs and a pro-amateur invitational at the Thunderbird Golf Club. Turn Down Russ Hockey Petition ZURICH (JP) Rossla's applica tion to participate In the Olympic lee Hockey tournament was turned down Sunday by the International Ice Hocky Federation. Dr. Frits Kraatx, president of the 11HF, told a meeting of the Federation's Executive Committee that . the application had arrived too late for consideration at the Oslo Congress of the group next month Just before the games start. He added that a mail vote would be taken after the Oslo meeting, but that would be too late for the Russians to enter the Olympics. ELIS PROTECT RECORD NEW HAVEN .

Mrs. Lawrence, completing a performance seldom if ever equalled for consistency, won the women's slalom race In her typi cal dashing style from a field of Europe's best feminine skiers. This gave her a record of three firsts, one second and one third in five races in Switzerland and Austria against virtually all of the skiers she'll meet in the Winter Games starting Feb. 14. Beats Out German The 19-year-old whiz's time for Sunday's race down a tricky course winding through 38 gates was 1:43.3 for two runs. This was three-tenths of a second better than Mrs. Annemarie Buchner-Fischer of Germany, and a full second fast er than the time of Dagmar Rom, Austria's beautiful blonde and two-time former world's cham pion. - Together with Jannette Burr of Seattle, Wash., who placed fifth Sunday, Mrs. Lawrence gives the U. S. a strong chance of repeating the performance of the team's coach, Gretchen Fraser, who won the first u. S. medal in women's skiing at the 1948 Olympics Miss Burr, 24, who shaded Mrs. Lawrence for first in the combined standings of the Swiss Champion ships last week, finished the five races of pre-Olympic competition with a record of one second, two thirds and two fifth places.

But it was only one of the marks established by the Germans, one of the most fab ulous clubs ever to play the game. In 30 years, they won 792 out of 878 starts. From 1908 through 1910, they won 132 out of 134 starts, includ ing a consecutive string of 111. At one stage, they didnt lose a game for 11 years on their home court at the German YMCA. And in the old Oriole Hall (the team was known for a time as the Ger man Orioles), they lost but one game in an eight-year stretch.

The five unbeaten teams came through the week without incident. Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Duquesne and St. Bonaventure headed into the second half of the season with clean slates but only faint hopes of maintaining a perfect record by the time the NCAA and other re gional tournaments roll around in March. Iowa Racks Minnesota Iowa and St. Bonaventure were the only members of the Big Five to see action Saturday night, the Hawkeyes slaughtering Minnesota 75-59, and the Bonnies rolling along by an almost similar score of 77-58 over Cincinnati. Iowa's victory was the 12th for the Hawkeyes, one less than Kan sas has rung up. Illinois has won 11, as has Duquesne. Kansas Meets K-State Kansas, top-ranked in the Asso ciated Press' poll of the nation's top 10 teams, faces its most diffi cult assignment of the regular season next Saturday when it runs up against ninth-ranked Kansas State at the latter'i gym. Kansas State warmed up the battle last Saturday night with a 76-56 pasting of Iowa State. Illinois, ranked second just be hind Kansas, also is idle until next Saturday night, when they face DePaul, an 80-57 victor ov:r Beloit. Iowa, No. 4, must face troublesome Indiana again Mon day night at Bloomington. The other members of the Big Five also are in the AP poll of the 10 best, St. Bonaventure at No. 6 and Duauesne one notch lower. Wildcats Win Toughie Third-ranked Kentucky had a fairly close game with Tennessee before downing the Volunteers, 65-56: fifth-ranked St. Louis did not play; eighth -ranked Washing ton belted over Oregon, 64-39 and tenth-ranked West Virginia was an easy winner over Waynesburg, 87-57. In other coast games California whipped UCLA, 54-51, Southern California trimmed Stanford, 75 64 and Idaho won over Oregon State, 74-50. Huskies, Cal In Hoop Lead By The Associated Press The Washington Huskies led the Northern Division Pacific Coast Conference Monday and the Idaho Vandals were strongly in conten tion at a result of a pair of week end victories for each team. The Huskies climbed into first place with five wins and one loss after handing Oregon two lopsided defeats 64-39 and 4-36. Idaho was in second place with four wins and two losses. The Van dals made it two in a row by de feating Oregon State Saturday night, 74-50. Washington State will be the busiest team in the Northern Di vision this week, meeting Oregon State Monday and Tuesday and Washington Friday and Saturday. All four games will be at Pullman. Oregon plays St. Mary's at Eu gene Friday and Saturday in a non-conference pair of games. Ida ho is idle until next week. Southern Division quintets will take a week off before moving into intersectional competition at the end of the month. The surprising California Bears, took a firm hold on first place with a double upset over UCLA Friday and Saturday. The Bears will sojourn in Ha waii from Feb. 1 to 9 for exhibi tions with various island teams. Then they resume conference play on Feb. 15 against Southern Cali fornia. USC moved into a second place tie with UCLA over the week-end by twice knocking off Stanford, the pre-season division favorite. The defeats dumped Stanford into the cellar. other, seven still were around and able to attend a Buffalo Athletic Club dinner last falL Leader of the group is Al Heerdt, now 73 years old and the chief h i st o r i a n and record-keeper. Heerdt served the team during its entire lifetime as star, captain, coach or manager. Nat Holman once called him "the greatest basketball player of all time. Heerdt doesn't think much of today's strict interpretation of rules and the resulting whistle blowing that interrupts the game. He recalls one game against Canisius in 1912 when there wasnt a single foul called. The Germans won it, of course, 72 to 32.
