Top Skiers To Get Preview
Of Squaw Valley Olympics
San Francisco (U.PJ A pre
view of the 1960 winter Olympic
games will be presented by the
nation's top skiers this week end
when they compete in the an
nual national championships at
Squaw Valley.
For the first time in history
a national championship winter
sports event will be staged in
California and this one has at
tracted more than 100 entrants.
"It will be the biggest ever
held in the United States, with
the exception of the world s
championships held at Aspen,
Colo., in 1950," according to
Miss Pat Riley, Squaw Valley
attache.
Giant Slalom Added
What makes this meet so big
is the fact that the National Ski
Association has added the giant
slalom to the agenda for the first
time, to go along with the down
hill and the regular slalom. Men
and women will be competing
In both events.
This will be the initial look
at the site of the 1960 games for
most of the competitors. Also,
the ski runs will be looked over
by Robert Faure, vice-chairman
of the International Ski Federa
tion's down-hill-slalom commit
tee. He will come here from
France to assist in technical
matters.
The visiting world dignitaries
won't see exactly what they
want for Olympic competition
but it will give them an idea
of the potential.
"For instance," says Miss
Riley, "ski racers will have a 20
minute climb above the existing
lifts to Squaw Peak, top of the
downhill course; and an hour's
hike to the start of the giant
slalom above the Flying Saucer
lift.
Nw Lifts Planned
"Of course, by the time the
Olympics come around, two new
lifts will be serving these areas."
The downhill, most dangerous
of alpine events, will begin just
below Squaw Peak's summit
and drop 2500 feet to the finish
gate. The first 1400 feet will be
down a 60 per cent grade mak
ing speeds of 75 to 90 miles an
hour possible.
Along with the 100' skiers,
i will be about 100 officials, in
cluding course packers, gate
keepers, timers, starters and re
corders. The events are expected to at
tract the greatest spectator group
in Squaw Valley's history an
other important test for the
Olympic games, as many are
wondering what can be done
about the housing situation in
the Lake Tahoe-Squaw Valley
vicinity.

ed title on the line against the
challenge of the Proud Russian,
Kurt von Poppenheim, at the
county fairgrounds arena.
Chene was unable to be here
for last week because of sickness
in his family. Poppenheim ac
cused him of running out on
the match and flemended that
Chene put up the belt.
Larry won the title in an
elimination tourney in Portland
which Poppenheim refused to
enter claim to the title. This all
shapes up as quite a battle for
the local fans as both of these
men are great competitors and
they are at their best when the
blue chips are down.
The other one hour main
event ' will introduce Herbie
Freeman, from the Bronx, N.Y.,
against the arrogant Aussie, Irish
Jack O'Reilly. Freeman is a
terrific weight-lifter in addition
to being a polished wrestler. He
has been known to press 300
pounds.
He is a big boy standing six
feet and weighing 220 pounds.
Freeman is highly rated in the
east. O'Reilly looked impressive
last week in the team match.

Ortega Defeat
New York-4U.R) Hardy (Ba
zooka) Smallwood, upset victor
over Gasper Ortega in a bout
that had more wild pitches than
a spring baseball game, now
would like to settle accounts
with unbeaten Rory Calhoun.
Smallwood, a 2-1 underdog
from Brooklyn, outlunged Mex
ico's Oretga v,o take the unani
mous decision in Monday night's
widely televised bout at St.
Nicholas arena.
In his dressing room, Small
wood said his No. 1 objective
remains to get another bout
with Calhoun, the hard-hitting
young middleweight who has
won all of his 19 bouts. Calhoun
handed Smallwood a defeat in
Bazooka's third pro bout.
As for Ortega, who stands
5-10Vi but weighed only 152V4,
to Smallwood's 157, Monday
night's loss convinced him he
shouldn't fight middleweights.
Through a trainer who acted as
interpreter, Ortega said he is a
natural welterweight and from
now on will mix only with men
in the 147-pound class.
Warriors Meet
Pistons Tonight
Philadelphia U.PJ ne Phil
adelphia Warriors and the Fort
Wayne Pistons, each angry over
losing to the other, clash at
Convention hall tonight in the
third game of the best-of-seven
series for the National Basket
ball association championship.
The Warriors vowed to take a
2-1 lead in the series' and claim
ed they were "robbed" in the
second game when Fort Wayne
beat them, 84-83, Sunday night
But the Pistons, looking forward
to a "soft touch," at their home
court Thursday night, figured a
victory here would put them in
the van for the title.
The confident Pistons had
only to look at the Philadelphia
record of two victories and 20
defeats on the Fort Wayne floor
since the teams began meeting
in the NBA. The last Warrior
victory on the Pistons' floor was
in 1952, but Sunday night's set
back was as close as the Phita
delphians could get without win
ning.
Hal Perry of San Francisco
netted only one basket for two
points.

Globe Trotters, taking advan
tage of Tommy Heinshohn's
fouling out, came from behind

rack up a 90-83 victory over the
College All-Stars at Boston Gar
den. It was the Trotters' third
straight win over the colleg
ians. The All-Stars led 69-61 when
Heinsohn, Holy Cross' brilliant
player, left the court on fouls
with seconds left to play in the
third period.
The Globe Trotters outscored
the All-Stars, 20-14, in the final
quarter as the All-Stars' offense
and defense lapsed sadly. Until

important, looked tremendous
in his rebounding play.

went to Andy Johnson of the
Trotters, who pitched in 33
points, nine from the foul line.
Heinsohn led the All-Stars'
point-getting, while Si Green of
