PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Squaw Valley - (L'PIi - It was Russia against the field in the Winter Olympic Games today with a determined United States hockey team, a dedi cated skating beauty and a wayward skier keeping Uncle Sam from being a complete also-ran. But there was no catching Russia for the unofficial team championship. With seven days of competition still re maining, the blue-clad Soviet I We've 1 Moved to 1 103712 Court St. I I OF OMAHAIIf Largest Exclusive Health and Accident Company in the I World.

And they have won seven of the 24 medals already awarded -four more than any other na tion. What's more they were fa vored to pick up at least one more gold medal today, per haps two. There was no pros pect for a first place for the U.S. in today's three cham pionship events. Sweden Closest To Russia Sweden was closest to Rus sia with 29 points, followed by Germany with 28 and then the U.S. with 16. In the medal department it was three for the U.S. but none of them gold - only one silver and two bronze. But there is a gold one coming up Tuesday unless that skater, Carol Heiss, the "old lady" in the field at the tender age of 20, falls flat on the ice in today's final com pulsory figure or Tuesday s free skating events. And the U.S. hockey team made the championship round when it slaughtered Australia Sunday night, 12-1, to join Russia - yes, again - Canada, Czechoslovakia, Germany and Sweden in the title round. There wasn't much hope they would beat out the Russians or the Canadians, but at least they were still alive. As for the skier: Tommy Corcoran-who was fourth in the giant slalom Sunday - was born in Japan, became a U.S. citizen, went to Dartmouth and Harvard and now lives in Beacons field, Canada. Largest Winter Crowd There were more cheers for him Sunday than anyone else from the crowd of 47,000 - the largest ever to view a winter sports event in the United States-when he flashed down mountain KT-22, to honorably combat the favored European competitors. His time of one minute and 49.7 seconds wasn't good enough to beat 'em, but it came close. He was only six tenths of a second out of third place - the bronze medal -one fleeting second out of sec ond the silver and a mere one and four-tenths seconds away from the gold medal. For Tommy, it was a fare well to skiing - on the day of his greatest glory. '"I'm having my last fling," he grinned. "It's time to go to work." In the women's figure skat ing, the winsome Carol has amassed 625.8 points in the four compulsory figures which have been performed thus far, compared to 580.5 to Holland's shapely miss, Sjou kje Dikjstra.

Another U.S. lass, 18-year-old Barbara Ann Roles of Temple City, Calif., was in third place and another teen ager, Laurence Lorrie Owen, only 15 and from Winchester, Mass., was in fifth place. Double Winner Possible Today Squaw Valley - (UPD - The first double gold medal win ner of the winter Olympics was in prospect today with the running of the 1000-meter women's speed skating. Included in the entry list for the event were two gold medal winners - Helga Haase of Germany, who captured the 500 meter race, and Lidija Skoblikova, winner of the 1,500 meter race Sunday in world record time. In Sunday's 1500 meter race. Miss Skoblikova was pushed to victory by Helena Pilejczky of Poland who fin ished third in the standings on a time basis. The Polish lassie's teammate, E 1 w i r a Seroczynska, was only five tenths of a second off the Russian girl's world record breaking time. Downhill Race Glamour Event Squaw Valley (UPD The postponed men's down hill race was the glamour attrac tion today while the jump and ski specialists hit the lonely 15-kilometer trail at nearby McKinney creek for the Olympic Nordic combined crown. Switzerland's Roger Staub rated as downhill favorite off his win in Sunday's giant slalom race. The Nordic bat tle shaped up between the Russians, Norwegians and Finns. Staub prefers the downhill to the slalom in which he finally broke the jinx of being an "eternal second." He start ed eighth in a field of 66 skiers from 23 countries. His major competition in cludes first off Egon Zimmer man, the Austrian boy friend of U.S. Alpine princess Penny Pitou; Willy Bogner of Ger many; Austria's Josef Stieg ler, who finished second in the giant slalom, and Adrien Duvillard of France, an advo cate of the metal ski.

SOC gained possession of second place in Oregon Col legiate conference basketball and cinched a berth in the NAIA district tournament early in March. Following the second win over PSC's Vikings (the Raid ers won 74-50 Friday night) Schopf further elaborated on his initial statement. "Beat ing them our way was by the big score with good shooting and the fast break. "Saturday they slowed us down with the deliberate game and we gained the one point nudge in the final four minutes," added Schopf, "in beating them at their own game." It was in the last six min utes when Southern Oregon finally caught up after having never been more than four points down at any time. Take 35-31 Lead Dick Smith hit a jumper and gave SOC a 29-28 edge but PSC jumped right back in front 31-29 with a gifter and field goal before Gordy Carri gan put the Raiders in a 31 all knot. Smith and Brad Flanary added gift tosses and Glen Peterson tallied a tip-in to make the count 35-31 with 28 seconds remaining. Don Powell scored on a jumper for PSC with 18 sec onds left but Carrigan added the winning free throw when the time waned to six seconds. PSC called time to stop the clock with SOC in the lead 36 33. PSC set the play for Powell who drove for the bas ket as the Raiders cleared a lane big enough for a herd of elephants to mill through.

Carrigan gained the indi vidual point honors with 15 while Powell hit 14 for PSC. Smith was the top rebound er for both sides with nine while Don Bridges had eight for PSC. Tomorrow night the Raid ers bring their desire for the OCC championship to a full blaze when they play host to Oregon Tech in the Red Raider gym in Ashland at 8 p.m. A win for the men of SOC would give them at least a tie for the title and if Ore Tech were to lose a single game in their final series against Ore gon College, SOC would have the title all alone.
