Newspaper Page TextU.. 'Officials (Dismissed Dn Latest By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Squaw Valley, Calif. - (WD -The 1960 Winter Olympic Games, which thus far have produced nothing but discord instead of the international goodwill and harmony they are supposed to promote, opened today. Here in a scenic little val ley of the Sierra . Nevadas, Vice President Richard Nixon was to declare the games offi cially open in a pageantry of pomp and ceremony equalled only in this quadrennial world athletic competition. Some 800 athletes from the 30 nations competing were to march in their brilliant uni forms with . their national flags held proudly aloft in what might be a snowstorm. More Snow Predicted - Six inches of snow was fore cast for this 20-million dollar resort built especially for these games. While that wouldn't hurt the ski runs it could hold down the crowd to less than the 25,000 expected. It was hoped that when Nixon said "I now declare the VIII Olympiad officially open" that all the strife which has marked the preliminary preparations will subside, But it didn't appear like it would work out that way. For on the eve of the open ing, one of the biggest rhu barbs of them all broke out -and there have been a lot of big ones. Five U.S. officials selected to serve as judges, referees and in other key capacities in the speed skating competition were dismissed by Sven Laft man of Sweden, vice president of the International Skating Union (ISU). Another Black Mark "We had to do it to bring order out of the mess here, Laftman told United Press International. "T h e American officials have been doing their best, but they are inexperienced to handle a big meet like this," he explained. "Most of them hav ehad no experience what soever in speed skating. To make the Olympic speed skat ing contests a success, it will be necessary to bring in men who know what it is all about and that will be done now." He reveiled that the U.S. officials were being replaced by one each from Norway, Sweden, Russia, France and Japan. . Laftman decided to take the drastic action which was another black mark on the way these games are being conducted after two days of final warmup tryouts in men's Sanctioned Hound Trial On Sunday Rogue Valley Field Trial ers will sponsor their first trial of the season on Sunday, Feb. 21. The sanctioned hound event cm the Oregon Field Trial circuit will be held on the Old Stage rd. one mile north of Jacksonville. Heat races are set for 9 a.m. Semi finals will follow and finals sire scheduled for afternoon ; From 100 to 150 entries are anticipated with hounds being brought also from other parts of the state. Owners will run their dogs seeking point toward state champion ship honors. The trial is one of several planned for this area by the local club. Members said that the public is "welcome to watch this trial and the others later. They stated that hound trials comprise the largest sport concerning dogs in the United States and are fast growing in popularity on the west coast. t. Jacksonville American Le gion post will operate the concession. The sponsors said neither they nor the land owners are responsible for loss at the trial site.- SALES MANAGER DIES New York -CPfr- Louis J. F Moore, 75, retired vice presi dent and sales manager of the Meeker Co., Inc., national radio and television advertis ing representatives, died Tuesday.

The competition was poorly organized, about one third of the times of the competing skaters were cor rected after being announced as official, and nothing seemed to go right. Blames The "Machines" Laftman declared, too, that the U.S. officials involved also depended "too much on ma chines." So the U.S. officials were sacked. It looked like there would be recriminations. Some of the top officials of the U.S. MedfordTrdbuxe SIP0DI1TS PRACTICE WITH TORCH - Andrea Mead Lawrence, right, one-time U.S. Olympic champion, hand Olympic torch fot Ken Henry, Chicago, one-time skating titlist, in practice for today's opening of the Winter Games at Squaw Valley. Mrs. Lawrence was to speed down Papoose peak with the torch. She was to hand it to Henry. He was to circle the ice area then light the sacred torch that will burn for the duration of the games. (UPI Telephoto) Crater High Slates Ashland, GP Frays Central Point - It's two bas ketball games on the road this week for the Crater high Comets who are intent on im proving their status in the Southern Oregon conference. The Comets go- to Ashland on Friday and to Grants Pass on Saturday. Crater is still in the race for a District 6 A-l state tour ney spot. The chance appears a very slim one but the Cen tral Pointers still desire a re spectable record for the year. Friday contention will have the Comets in a favored role Steel head Spread in Rogue River Portland -0IPD- The weekly report on fishing conditions prepared by the state game commission: Southwest: North Umpqua and main upper Umpqua fair to good; South Umpqua poor to fair; if weather clears an gling on Coos and Coquille systems should be good. Winter run of steelhead in the Rogue and Illinois is spread throughout; water con ditions have been ideal; a few fish being taken on the Ap- plegate; south coast streams dropping. Webfoots, Beavers Eye Week End Hoop Scuffles United Press International Oregon and Oregon State basketball teams, both hope ful of an at-large NCAA tour nament berth tapered off drills today for upcoming week end battles with Wash ington and Southern Cali fornia of the Big 5. Oregon meets Washington at McArthur Court Friday night and plays host to South ern California Saturday night. Oregon State meets the Tro jans at Corvallis Friday and Washington Saturday. Oregon is leading the North west independents with a 14-7 record while Oregon State is 13-7. - Unbeatable at Home Oregon so far this year has been unbeatable on its home court winning nine straight. Oregon hasn't played USC but lost a 63-57 decision to Wash ington earlier in the season Rhubarb Olympic committee told UPI they were not surprised. But they have been taking such a beating that they were ex pected to start defening them selves. Just what grounds they could defend themselves on were not known. The only thing known was that today at 1:30 p.m. (p.s.t.) the games were to be opened and on Friday actual compe tition starts. Maybe the 2,000 doves of peace which will be freed during the cremony will mark an end to the bickering. But no one was betting on it. but the game is rated a toss up at Grants Pass. Crater holds two wins this year over the Ashlanders. The Comets have won over GP twice at Central Point. They lost to the Cavemen at Grants Pass. With Crater's best record since A-l entry already es tablished, the Comets are now looking toward next season. Coach Lloyd Hoffine is doing quite a bit of work with the sophomores and juniors on the squad. This could mean quite a bit more duty, to gain game experience, for Jim Allen, a junior, and Jeff Anhorn, a sophomore. Juniors Tom White, Dennis Edwards and Loyal Higinbotham have been seeing quite a lot of service. Hoffine said that Allen and Anhorn likely won't be start ers but he wants to work them into games as often as possi ble. Grange News Butte Falls Grange An old-fashioned box social sponsored by Butte Falls Grange will be held at the Bill Thomas Community hall at Butte Falls Saturday, Feb. 20, at 8:30 p.m. Free enter tainment is planned. West Virginia was a part of Virginia until the beginning of the secession movement in 1861. at Seattle, Oregon State has lost to both the Huskies and USC away from home. The Tro jans downed the Beavers 84 59 in Los Angeles and Wash ington won 57-51. Oregon suffered a setback when forward Dale Herron broke his nose in a physical education tumbling class.

Purpose of the tournev is to determine who will play the Klamath- Lake county champ for the Nationalist China Bid Refected Squaw Valley, Calif. -JUPD-Nationalist China was barred from-the 1960 Winter Olym pic Games yesterday. The International Ski Federation- refused" to confirm both Nationalist China and In dia for competition because they did not follow proper procedure and join the FIS. Membership in the sponsor ing international sports body is necessary before competi tion is permitted in the Olym pic Games by the Internation al Olympic Organization. Neither Nationalist China nor India had applied to the FIS for membership until each country learned' that FIS membership was essential. Then Nationalist China tried to apply for membership, but India withdrew its one skier which it had entered in the games starting here today. Colonials Upset WV United Press .International West Virginia, ' Villanova and Dayton have collected plenty of press clippings this season-but nobody's yet found a way to win basketball games with newsprint. National ranking and tour nament recognition failed to impress the opposition Wed nesday night as George Wash ington surprised fifth-rated West Virginia, 97-93; St. Bon aventure stopped ninth-ranked Villanova, 72-70, and De Paul defeated NIT-bound Dayton, 70-66. West Virginia, which led 48-44 at halftime, came closest in the late stages when the Mountaineers trailed 92-91, but time ran out. Jerry West scored 40 points for the Moun taineers, but his efforts fell short in the face of one 11 point second-half outburst by the Colonials. Alaskan Movie Set For Centra!

Klamath Black Tornado Foe Games involving Medford high, Klamath Falls and Grants Pass will be the cen ter of interest this week end in the Southern Oregon con ference basketball campaign. Klamath vies at Grants Pass on Friday evening and Medford travels to Klamath Falls on Saturday. Medford, already certain of a trip to the Oregon Class A-l prep tournament, aims to sew up the conference banner. Klamath Union, still in the league title running, seeks to clinch a tourney berth. Grants Pass, out of the titular chase, tries to keep its slim , tourna ment hopes alive. Cougars Finale District 5B crown. If Prospect should win to night, it must play St. Mary's again on Saturday. St. Mary's, as Jackson B league regular season winner, has this oppor tunity of "second chance." Cougar Lee Williams tal lied four points in the last two minutes of play to give Pros pect the win. Quarter scores were 10 to 6 and 18 to 15 for the BF loggers and 28 to 24 for the Cougars. LaVern Baker of Butte Falls led the scoring with 24 and Bob Fitch picked up 13 for the winners.

Roger Hout scored the first basket of the game and the Crusaders led , all the way. Don Bradford with four points, topped the Bulldogs as they started the game right on the Crusaders' heels. But, the smooth working fast break put the Crusaders safely into the lead. Bradford paced the Bull dogs in first half action with six points. Dick Evans and Al Yates spurred the Crusaders with eight points each. . Bob Jacobs led the Bull dogs in second half point mak ing with five tallies, while Hout had eight for SM.

SMOOTH AS SILK JULIUS USilU CO.. UWIiEKGUUiiUKDlia tOMol!) Saturday The' Black Tornado of Med ford needs only to beat the Pelicans of KF to take the Southern Oregon and District 6 flag. Klamath can cinch no less than a tie for a tourney place by trimming the Grants Pass Cavemen and would earn the berth by whipping both Grants Pass and Med ford. A loss to KF on Friday would all but eliminate the Cavemen who have a fracas with Crater at GP on Satur day.;" Just One Game Medford has only the one game this week end. This fact enabled the Black Tornado to take the day off for rest. Coach Frank Roelandt put his Tornadoes through a light workout Tuesday and the squad had a fairly hard drill yesterday. Roelandt indicated that the Medford squad seems heathy and that Lowell Dean appears ' to"; have shaken off the flue which hampered him last week. The Black Tornado goes against Klamath as the favo rite after three victories over the Pelicans in other confer ence games this season. Two of the verdicts were by sub stantial margins but the last, on Medford's home floor, was a bit close for comfort. This time the Pels will have the home advantage. Two KF regulars were out of action when the Pelicans last played here.
