And that wouio nut a Yank on the top pedes tal of the victory stand ior tne first times in the games. The U.S. team, point- blanked Monday in the un official scoring, also could pick up a bronze medal in this competition if Barbara Ann Roles of Temple ouy, Calif., can hold her third place standing after the com pulsory figures were com pleted Monday. And there is a chance that one of the beauty queens of the U.S. giant slalom ski team rmilH win a medal. It might be pigtailed Penny Piteu of Laconia, N.H., Ail-American beauty Betsy Snite or iNor wich, Vt., or Linda Meyer of Mammoth Lakes. Calif. All three have a strong chance.

The speed-skating members of the U.S. team are in rebel lion and it is doubtful that the Yankee skaters can be de pended on to give much of a challenge to the crack ath letes from Russia and the other European nations. Several of the U.S. team members complained to Irv ing Jaffee, former U.S. Olym pic Champion that they were getting no attention irom their coach or manager. Bingham is in the Olympic infirmary, recovering from a flu attack, and could not be reached for comment. Meanwhile, the Russians pushed ahead in their rout of the unofficial team champion ship.

Bill Bowerman In Spotlight as Distance Coach BUI Bowerman, the ex- Medford .high athlete and mentor who has risen into na tional limelight as track coach at University of Ore gon, gets further attention, along with his athletes in a Feb. 22 Sports Illustrated ar ticle, "Masters of Endurance." The article by Tex Maule compares Bowerman and Mi haly Igloi, tutor at Santa Clara Youth center, and tells of the competition of their distance runners. Bowerman is described as "a big, outgo ing man with a somewhat vio lent sense of humor." Igloi and Bowerman are termed two of the finest distance coaches in the business. The former Medfordite is credited with having devel oped more home-grown dis tance stars than any other American coach. Maule men tions Bowerman s deep re gard for the ' psychological problems of his athletes and says his success with his dis tance men comes as much from this aspect as from his considerable technical gifts.
