In Equestrian Olympic Games
By PETER UEBERSAX
United Press Sports Writer
Stockholm, Sweden (U.R)
Germany's finely disciplined rid
ers and their expertly trained
horses were the favorites today
to win the equestrian Olympic
games ahead of strong-contending
Great Britain, but the U. S.
riders appeared completely out
ot it.
After the opening day of
dressage competition, Germany's
riders unofficially led the rat
ings with an average of 100.4
points per rider. Great Britain
was next with a 101.6 mark.
Best To Com ,
But Germany's best rider,
August Luetke Westhues, still
was to compete in the windup
of the dressage competition to
day and he was expected to
lower Germany's average below
100. The points are assessed
against riders for various penal
ties and the rider with the few
est points is the winner. '
The riders In the dressage
events bring their mounts
through a series of intricate ma
neuvers, 31 complicated school
figures, in a 20 by 60 meter
rectangle.
In other unofficial point rat
ings, Russia was third at 115,
Sweden fourth with 119.6,
France fifth with 125.6, Canada
sixth with 127, Switzerland sev
enth with 127.8. and Finland
eighth with 130.2. The Ameri
can were 17th in the field of 19
with a team average of 159. Only
Ireland with 159.6 and Spain at
170 8 trailed the Americans.
U. S. Bitter

privately were bitter over the
scoring. "I can't figure out how

Emeralds in
Second Spot
By RAY ANDREWS
United Press Sports Writer
The Eugene Emeralds gave
the big-inning technique a work
out in last night's Northwest
league baseball play and it paid
off with a 7-5 decision over
Wenatchee.
Eugene had been blanked for
seven innings by Chuck Lybeck
but in the eighth the Emeralds
sent up 12 hitters who produced
five singles, a triple, a double
and two walks for seven runs.
The victory moved the Emer
alds into second place ahead of
Lewiston.
Don Baker of Yakima al
lowed 10 hits but spaced them
nicely for a 6-2 victory over
Lewiston. The Broncs scored
one in the second on Joe Riney's
solo homer and got their final
tally in the seventh on Joe Ja
cob's double and a single by
Doug Osbourn.
Yakima got one in the first
and added three more in the sec
ond on a three-run homer by
Pete Mikacich. The Bears fin
ished up with two runs in the
eighth on two singles around a
double by Herm Lewis.
The two games were the only
league action although the Spo
kane Indians battled the Seattle
Rainiers of the Pacific Coast
league to a 5-5 tie in 10 innings
in an exhibition game.

Threats
In U. S. Open
Rochester, N.Y. U.PJ Ben
Hogan and Sam Snead, two of
golfing's gray-beards, came out
of the preliminary practice
rounds today as the men to beat
for the U. S. Open championship
starting Thursday.
Although neither has burned
up the tree-lined 6,902-yard Oak
Hill Country Club course thus
far, they are the names you hear
when you discuss the possible
winners.
Hogan Old Hand
It wouldn't be anything new
for the 43-year-old Hogan if he
won, for he has taken four U.S.
Open titles and is seeking to be
come the first man to win five.
But it "would be- something new
for the 42-year-old Snead, who
has won every title in the game
except this biggest one of all.
Snead, who has been runner-
up four times and is competing
in his 16th Open, isn't too happy
about his game right now, but
observed that he might "get hot
starting Thursday."
"I sure hope so," he said smil
ing. "It's about time I won this
one, isn't it?"

Among those who are picking
the Slammer from the West Vir
ginia hills is Ed Furgol, who won
Man Can Still
Lessons From
Washington As man shrinks
his world with faster and farther-ranging
aircraft, he can still
take lessons from the birds that
inspired his early yearning to
ay.
The earth's most tireless trav
elers, birds regularly perform
amazing feats of endurance and
navigation.
The Arctic tern, farthest voy
ager of them all, nests as far
north as there is any ground to
nest on. The other half of the
year it spends in the Antarctic.
Traveling more than 22,000
miles yearly, the birds fly south
along the coast of Europe and
Africa to the Antarctic Circle re
turning north by the east coast
of South America, over the At
lantic Ocean to Labrador and
Greenland.
One tern was found recently
on a beach near Perth, Australia.
It had been banded in Sweden,
10,000 miles away.
Plovers Navigate Expertly
While no other bird matches
the tern's journeys, many per
form prodigies of travel and ac
curate navigation.
Pacific golden plover nest in
Alaska and wintei in New Zeal-
land. They make the trip by
way of Hawaii and the tiny coral
islands of the Pacific, locating
them unerringly after flights of
2.400 miles over trackless ocean.
That is a respectable accomplish
ment for a pilot with intricate
navigation aids in his cockpit
and a half million dollars worth
of radio equipment on the
ground.
Bobolinks that arrive in the
United States in spring have
completed a 6,000 journey. From
their wintering grounds on the
pampas of Brazil and Argentina,
they fly over the vast forests of
the Amazon in early March,
swarming north to the Carib
bean. They traverse that sea in
a single night, visiting Cuba be
fore they arrive in New York
and New England in early May.
the Open title two years ago.
"This course is made to ord
er for him," Furgol said. "This
course requires a long hitter and
that's Snead. And if he's a little
wild off the tees with those
booming shots of his, it won't
hurt him for the rough is short
and easy to play from. You can
put your drive in the rough and
still have a good chance for a
birdie."
Snead played the Oak Hill
course for the first time Monday
and really scrambled. He tried
out a new putter, but after miss
ing several short ones, went back
to his old one. He didn't keep
score of the practice round, but
observed "It was pretty high.
Take Flying
the Birds
When fall comes, they make the
same trip in reverse.
In an ornithological experi
ment, a Manx shearwater no big
ger than a pigeon was carried
from its breeding ground in
Britain to Boston. Released in
territory none of its kin had ever
been, it struck out across the
Atlantic and arrived home 3,
200 miles away in 13 days.
What drives birds on such
journeys, and how do they find
their way? Many theories have
been advanced, none proved.
1.000 Miles to the Ounce
That birds are well equipped
for travel is evident in the effi
cient use they make of their fuel
body fat.
The ruby-throated humming
bird, no larger than a moth,
flies 500 miles nonstop across the
Golf of Mexico. The Atlantic
golden plover, flying more than
2,000 miles from Nova Scotia to
South America, uses only two
ounces of fat.
With all their ability, how
ever, birds sometimes need a
helping hand from their imita
tors. Early, cold snaps in Austria
sometimes kill thousands of mar
tins and swallows as they at-
