Broiled Chicken Costs Victory New York OP) A broiled chicken may have cost the U.S. team a face-saving vic tory in its weight-lifting series ith Russia. Beaten 6-1 and 4-3 in two previous meets last week, the TJ.S. barbell crew split the first six matches rainst the Russian lifters in their final meet at Madison Square Gar den Saturday night. Then middle heavyweights Dave Sheppard of Washing ton, D.C., and Dr. Arkady Vorobyev took over for the final event which would de cide the winner. Each totalled l,00234 pounds for the stand ard three lifts press, clean-nd-jerk and snatch. Under trie rules of weightlifting, the, decision goes to the lifter who weighed less. Each weighed 1973,4 pounds Ibefore the match, but in the post-match weigh-in, Voroby ev scaled 19514 to Sheppard's 196 and thus was awarded the decision that gave the i visitors their third straight Victory. Later it developed that Sheppard finished his lifting chores before Vorobyev, and, while waiting for his opponent to complete his lifts, stepped out for a snack, which con sisted of a half chicken.
