Durable In Saturday's Olympic Oslo, Norway (U.B - Little Finland's durable distance skiers won everything in sight in the Winter Olympic games Saturday but Norway virtually wrapped up the team championship with only two more events remaining today. : Undefeated ' Canada clinched the hockey championship for all practical purposes with an 11-2 conquest of Norway. The once beaten U. S. team downed Czech oslovakia, 6-3, and plays the Canadians in the final game to day.- But even in the case of tie. goal totals will decide the championship and Canada is way out in front with 68 to 48 for once-beaten Sweden, which licked Switzerland, 5-2 Saturday. Dominate Day .The hardy Finns, both men and .women, utterly dominated the next to last day of the 1952 games by racing off with the gruelling 40 kilometer (24 miles) cross-country men's relay and coring a grand slam of all three medals in the women's 10 kilo meter (six miles) cross country race run as an Olympic event for the first time. : A plucky U. S. men's relay team, cheered mightily for its courage and Olympic spirit al though hopelessly outclassed, wound up a dead last among the 12 nations that finished the ex hausting test. Even Finland's first three women skiers, headed by pretty blonde Lydia Videman, toured the identical distance on the same course in faster times than any of the four Americans on the relay team. Finland picked up a total of 31 points Saturday, zooming from fifth to third place with a total of 72, but American forces still held a tight grip on second place with 84 Vi. Norway added six mora points for the lead at 107 and only a complete disaster to day could prevent it from win ning the team title. : Norwegian special ski jumpers are prohibitive favorites to dom inate that colorful event at Hoi- menkollen. The U.S., however, till can pick up scattered points In .hockey and in the jump in which Art Devlin of Brooklyn is a threat. They were almost cer tain to hold second place when the games wind up. The Finns were magnificent Saturday in their specialty, weeping every medal they pos sibly could. Before 60,000 fans, many of them on skis at vantage points long the course, Finland's relay team of Heikki Hasu, Paavo Lon kila, Urpo Korhonen and Tapio Maekaele led every step of the 40 kilometers for a victory by three minutes and three seconds ever Norway. Sweden was third. We'll buy the unused mileage in your worn tires!

Duluth, Minn.; John Burton of Wayzata, Minn.; Ted Farwell of Montague City, Mass.; and Wendall Broom- hall of Rumford, Me. The only American consola tion was the fact that Bulgaria's anchor man broke a ski and couldn't finish, thus placing the U. s. lZth instead of 13th. But the Scandinavians paid the courageous Yanks a tremen dous compliment those few who remained to see anchor man Broomhall cross the finish line as he vowed to do "if it takes me all night." A half dozen fans lifted Broom- hall in their arms and three times tossed him high into the air, a Nordic tribute normally reserved for winners. "It was a great race at that." Broomhall said with a smile.
