Hayes Jenkins Gains
Fioure Skate Mantle
By CHARLES RIDLEY
Ugited Press Sports Writer
Cortina, Italy (U.P.) Hayes
Alan Jenkins, 22-year-old Colo
rado dervish, earned America's
first gold medal in the 1956 win
ter Olympics today when he
won the men's figure skating
championship.
In a superb demonstration of
precise skating in icy weather,
Jenkins beat out 18-year-old
Ronnie Robertson or Liong
Reach. Calif., for the title, end
ing America's point famine that
had-existed through tne iirst j.
events of the Olympic program.
naviH Jenkins. Hayes' 19-
year-old brother, took third
place, giving the Yanks a 1-2-3
sweep. This harvest of 19 points
raised the Americans' total to
281 points and boosted them
from ninth to sixth place in the
unofficial team standings. "
Robertson's . free skating
figures were, termed more origi
nal by European experts, but the
judges gave Jenkins , a nigner
point score on the basis of his.
near-flawless execution. Jen
kins had opened a lead Sunday
in the compulsory figures of the
competition. He maintained his
advantage with his brilliant ex
hibition in the free skating phase
that completed the champion
ship. Women's Ski Event
A Swiss girl and three untir
ing Finnish women's skiers won
the two other Olympic cham
pionships on today's schedule.
Madeleine Berthod, Switzer
land's "skiing milkmaid," cele
brated her 25th birthday by win

race by a record margin over
her closest rival. In this event,

the 1956 winter games.
In the women's 15-kilometer
cross country relay race, Siiri
Rantanen, Finnish mother of
four children, overcame a six
second deficit on the final leg to
provide her nation with a smash
ing triumph over Russia's world
champions.
Miss Berthod, a young farm
girl from the western Swiss Alps
country, won a gold medal in the
downhill event after misfortunes
had ruined her chances in two
previous slalom races. A leading
favorite in both events. Miss
Berthod missed a gate and wound
up fourth in the giant slalom last
Friday and then finished far back
in the field when she fell in the
special slalom last Monday.
Three On Team
Sirkka Polkunen, Mirja Hieta
mies and Siiri Rantanen com
prised the Finnish threesome
that covered the 9.3 mile course
on the Campo Plain southwest of
Cortina in one hour, nine min
utes and one second for their
victory.
Russia's1 team, made up of
Lubov Kozyreva, the 1956 Olym
pic 10-kilometer champion; Alev
tina Kolchina and Radja Kro
china, placed second, and Swe
den was third. The race was part
of the Olympic program for the
first time. Nine nations com
peted, Romania withdrawing at
the last minute.
Mrs. Rantanen skied away
from Russia's Miss Krochina on
the final five-kilometer leg to
climax one of the biggest upsets
of the winter classic to date. Mrs.
Rantanen was approximately 20
yards behind her Soviet rival
when she took over on the final
leg.
No U.S. Team
The Russian trio was clocked
in 1:09.28 and the Swedes in
1:09.48. The United States did
not enter a team in this relay
race, a traditional northern
European ski specialty.
Norway placed fourth in
1:10.50; Poland was fifth in
1:13.20 and Czechoslovakia won
its first point in the 1956 Olym
pics by taking sixth "place in

Is That So?
Although the land may be
locked in winter's grip, man, the
perennial optimist, is constantly
on the lookout for the first signs
of spring. And happy is the man
when he sees and proclaims his
first migrant bird, his first nest
with eggs, his first shoot of
green, his first blossom, his first
insect rising from a mountain
stream. Cherished as his beliefs
may be, they need questioning.
To do it, here's a helping of facts
vs. fallacies.
Fallacy: Birds have a premoni
tion of early spring and spring
is on its way when the first mi
grants arrive from the south.
Fact: Birds cannot predict the
weather witness the hundreds
of thousands destroyed by
storms they fly into during their
migrations. More accurately,
they are stirred to migrate by
the amount of ultra-violet in the
sky which seems to affect their
glands and that increases as the
sun ascends the heaven and days
get longer. -,
Also, bird migrations are spac
ed. Some birds migrate" early,
others late. When snow is deep-
est in February, look for the
first prairie horned larks to ar
rive. They will be moving north
in full numbers before the end
of . the month to reach their
northland home to nest and sit
on their eggs even before the
last snowbank is melted.
If you live in the east, then
you may see some robins and
bluebirds leading the parade . . .
in the west, perhaps the hum
mingbird. In other sections, the
red-winged blackbirds are early.
They precede their prospective
brides by several weeks to set up
territories to the square foot and
proclaim with exultant cries:
OK-Meee! OK-Meeee! OK-Meeee!
Nesting No Indication
Fallacy: All right then, winter
ends when the first pair of birds
have mated and nested and are
brooding their eggs.
Fact: Not so. Before February
is out, the great horned owl will
have paired and the female will
have laid her almost round white
eggs in a. nest usually usurped
from a hawk. From the moment
the first egg is laid, one of the
pair .will be on it constantly to.
guard against enemies and the
biting cold. After three days, the
second egg is laid. But this is far
from the end of winter in hold
ing their vigil on the nest, some
of these birds will be covered
with a six-inch fall of snow and
perhaps experience the coldest
day of the year.
Fallacy: Surely then, winter
comes when the plants awaken
from dormancy.
Fact: The skunk cabbage sends
out its first spears from partially-
frozen swampland in mid-Febru
ary. Even before this, brown
willow buds will have burst in
January pushing out their white
furry blossoms; the catkins of
alders will droop and grow long
in mid-February; and the buds
of the elm enlarge long before
mid-March. .
Mistaken Notion
Fallacy: Surely then, we can
look for signs of spring from water-dwelling,
creatures whose
temperatures are more stable.
Spring must be on the make
when the salmon run is on the
urge to push up to the headwa
ters to spawn where they were
born . . . when insects hatch in
mountain streams . ... When
trout rise to a dry fly.
Fact: Sorry, friend. The com
monly-held belief that there is
but one salmon run to the stream
is. a mistaken notionThere are
many;; perhaps a stream may
have a hundred in the course of
a year. And they may occur any
month of the year!
As for insects hatching, the
stone fly knows no seasons
some hatch the year 'round and
snow fleas seem merriest when
hopping about along snow-covered
banks. .
Happy "to say, I have" taken
rainbow, cutthroat and i brown
trout with-a No. 16 dry fly . on
Montana's : -.Yellowstone ' river
while the snow was flying and
I was standing ' on 1 a six-foot
snowbank!
It adds to this:, the "signs of j
spring have sprung a leak. '

Collegiate Coaches Disapprove
24-Second Rule in Basketball
By SCOTT BAILLIE
San Francisco (U.R) The 24
second rule which now has be
come a key part of professional
basketball never will get into
the college game if the coaches
in this part of the country, can
help it.
A sampling of opinion at yes
terday's session of the Northern
California . Basketball Writers
wound up with the 24-second
gimmick drawing a large "zero.
For those who are not too
casaba minded, the National Pro
fessional Basketball Association
makei, it mandatory for a team
to take a shot within 24 seconds
after getting possession of the
ball or else lose it to the other
side.
Coaches Pete Newell of Cali
fornia, Phil - Woolpert of USF,
Walt McPherson of San Jose
State and Howie Dellmar of
Stanford are among the coaches
who voiced opposition toward
making a club hurry its shots.
Rule Challenged
Newell, whose Bears pulled
an eight -minute stall against USF
last Saturday "dn a vain bid to
halt the Dons' drive toward 40
straight victories, challenged the
rule on two counts:
- "We don't waat to shoot if we
don't want to and we don't want
to start an era of zone defenses
which would result hi . teams
packing around 'under' the bas
ket," Newell said.'
Woolpert, citing Cal's: freeze,
said. "The 24-second rule could
be . the worst' by-product of that
stall. And if it. were introduced
it would penalize the game for

outstanding contributions to
sports in Oregon during 1955.

Cherberg Says Outside Influence
Factor in Dismissal as Mentor
Seattle U.R) Johnny Cher
berg, recently fired as Univer
sity of Washington football
coach, indicated here last night
outside influences were a factor
in his dismissal.
"Could it be I was fired be
cause R. C. (Torchy) Torrance
was faced with losing control of
some of the players?" Cherberg
asked during a 22-minute simul
cast over a Seattle radio-televi
sion station KING.
Torrance is a key athletic re
cruiter for the school. Cherberg
claimed Torrance could have
put down last year's so-called
"player rebellion" when he first
met with the disgruntled play
ers. an incident that never may hap
pen again."
McPherson, speaking for the
smaller , schools, summed it up
by saying,. "I'll, start voting
against the 24-second rule today
if . necessary because if ever it
went through, the smaller insti
tutions like San Jose never
would be able to latch onto the
type of ball player who can
shoot like a pro. The big schools
would get them all." .
Dallmar declared that the rule
"has taken something out of the
game as far as I'm concerned."
Newell Defends Tactics
Newell spoke at length on de
fense of his tactics against USF
and said that he felt his first
responsibility was winning
games at California and not los
ing to appease critics who were
upset thai Cal had not gone
down in the orthodox mariner.
"When you take the element
of trying to win out of basketball
I don't want to be in it," the
grim Newell said.
Woolpert, who 'sat beside him
at the end of the dining table,
backed his old friend up and
once more said the freeze was
"excellent strategy" oa Newell's
part. ;

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN
Torrance could have stopped
it "in his apartment or office,
wherever he met with a couple
of disgruntled players," Cher
berg said.
He also insisted Harvey Cas
sill, athletic director, and H. P.
(Dick) Everest, the school's vice-
president, could have stopped
the controversy last Nov. 21
the first time the players made
a formal, complaint against
Cherberg.'
Takes Advice
Cherberg said Cassill, acting
on Everest's' advice, informed
him not to have his assistant
coaches at a meeting where the
situation was to be talked over
among the players.
"Cowboy" Johnny said at that
meeting the son of a prominent
downtown alumnus buttonholed
players outside the door . and
told them to ' ask questions and
keep the discussion alive. ,
"I found later the boy who
opened with questions and kept
the discussion alive had been in
Cassill's office just prior to the
meeting," Cherberg said.
Cherberg said Cassill told him
after the meeting "John, you
handled yourself admirably. I'm
all for you."
A Recommendation
Cherberg said he would rec
ommend the school operate
along the line prescribed by Pa
cific Coast conference regula
tions and not have the players
looking beyond the coaches and
athletic department for counsel.
Both Cassill and Torrance de
clined to commont on Cher
berg's talk. The station has of
fered equal time to any member
of the school's athletic depart
ment for rebuttal.
"I'm here because I believe
I'm right," Cherberg said in be
ginning his talk. "I don't want
anybody to feel sorry for me.
please, because football has been
really good to me."
