ILLS. Hockey Team Defeats Russia 3 to 2 in Olympic Cold War Game By HAL WOOD Squaw Valley -UPJ- An. em battled band of Yankee young sters bounced off the ice Sat urday to win the cold war of the Olympic Games by beat ing Russia, 3-2, to move with in one game of the Olympic Ice Hockey championship. The brother act of Bill and Roger Christian and of Bill and Bob Cleary accounted for the goals and then there was the raging defensive play of blond Rodney Paavola of Han cock, Minn., and the gutty goal tending of Jack McCar tan of St. Paul. It was more than a game. Those Yankee youngsters were trying to show the blue and white garbed Russians how free men can fight. They were blocking more shots with their hurtling bodies than they were with sticks and in the end they won it on guts alone. The Yanks took a one-goal lead early in the game when Bill Cleary scored on a pass from Bob. But the Russians, a grim-faced, veteran aggrega tion with slick passing and a rock-ribbed defense, hammer ed right back for two quick scores and the lead. The Yankees tied it up at 11:61 of the second period as a more than capacity crowd of 8,000 raised the roof of the open-end Blyth arena with their roar of approval. Then Bill Christian broke it up at 14:59 of the third pe riod when he drove home the clincher on passes from Tom Williams and his brother Rog er. Crowd Roars The crowd roared its ap proval every time the Yankee Jdds took the puck up the ice and it shook the building at 4:04 when Bob Cleary stole the puck from a Russian for ward, passed it off to brother Bill and the kid from Cam bridge took it all the way in and burned it past the Rus sian goalie. The Soviet skaters had a big delegation on hand, too, and they set up a continual chant of "Let's go, let's go," as it developed into a race- horse hockey game in which both goalies constantly were under fire. . ' McCartan, who made 27 saves during the game, final ly was pierced at 5:03 in a mad melee in front of the U.S. cage when the puck was de flected to Veniamin Alexsan- Boy RniMar fSnnnlu QUALITY BLOCKS Drain Til Brickt, Flue 727 W.

Jenkins trailed Karol Divin of Czechoslovakia going in to the final round of free style skating. But, after his performance on the ice, the United States had its second gold medal of the games. (UPI Telephoto) WIN SLALOM MEDALS Those who won the three medals in the ladies slalom race in the Winter Olympic Games at Squaw Valley on Friday were, from left, Betsy Snite, United States, second place; Anne Heggtveit, Canada, first place, and B.

There were groans from the crowd which jammed the aisles as Russia scored again at 9:37 for a 2-1 lead. Vladi mir Grebennikov took a shot and McCartan was set to block it but Mikhail Bychkov, sweeping in with the speed of a falcon, deflected it into the net. It was a wild one the rest of the period with Bob Cleary drawing, a two minute trip ping penalty and the short handed Yanks were all over the ice with headlong dives and wild stick work to hold off the determined Soviet - WAIT Closed Saturday OPEN SUNDAY GRANTS PASS 237 Hiway 99-S n. Week Days ' IT M David Jenkins wipes his players the defending Olym pic champions. Pinned around their own goal throughout the earliest part of the second period, the Yanks finally broke out with one lightning sortee which found a crack in the rugged Russian defense to tie it up at 2:02. Once again it was a brother act. Roger Christian whipped it out to brother Bill and he drove in and lit the red light in a vortex of thunderous sound. And those Yankee kids mobbed the black - haired youngster from Warroad, Minn., who had squared it up for them. Each team had to fight it out with one man short for two - minute penalties late in the period, Roger Christian getting his for slashing a Rus sian on the head with his stick. He was still in the penalty box, owing 25 seconds, when the third period opened. And once he got back on the ice it was a jam session in front of the Russian net. At about the three minute mark the U. S. team thought it had scored when in a goal line attack they pushed the Soviet goal tender right back into his lit tle corded den and Roger Christian seemed to have scored. Fifty seconds later the Yanks were in trouble again when Bill Cleary drew a two minute tripping penalty but his teammates held the Rus sians at bay with some of the wildest skating and fiercest blocking the games have ever seen. Then, back at full strength, they broke it open at 14:59 on Bill Christian's whistling shot into the cords which add ed the Delt of the Russian j Bear to their list of trophies. I Canada kept its hockey I championship hopes alive with a come-from-behind 6-5 victory over Sweden. The Swedes piled up a 4-1 lead in the first period, but could not hold it. Canada would have to de feat Russia today and have Czechoslovakia whip the United States to have . a chance. The two teams then would be tied in the sandings and the gold medal would be decided on the goal average. And Canada does not figure to have a good goal average today against the Russians. Two Gold Medals The United States has but two gold medals - picking up one Friday on David Jenkins' brilliant, come-from-behind victory in the men's - figure skating. The other gold medal, also in figure skating, went to Carol Heiss on Tuesday. The Yankees also have four silver medals and three bronze and are in second ijjace in the unofficial team standings. There is no chance to catch the rumbling Russian bear in the battle for team supremacy. But a second-place finish in the games, ending today, would be a new high for the U. S. in this international sports classic. In the first championship round game of the day, also ran Czechoslovakia defeated tailend Germany, 9-1. Earlier in the day, Knut Johannesen of Norway per formed one of the great feats of speed-skating history when he knocked nearly a minute off an eight-year-old record in the 10,000-meters event. Skating over the perfectly conditioned 400-meter oval on a 25-lap trip, Johannesen and four others bettered the recog nized world mark. Eight skaters bettered the Olympic record; and there were 10 national marks set in the jam boree. The race, staged in pairs against time, was considered in skating circles as one of the greatest of all time. Another gold medal went to Finland's Kalevi Hama lainen, a rank outsider, in the 50-kilometer (about 31 miles) cross-country race. Johannesen's time in the 10,000-meter race was 15 min utes, 46.6 seconds, compared with the world mark of 16: 32.6, set by Hjalmar Ander son of Norway in 1952. Four Minui Barrier In speed-skating circles the breaking of the 16-minute bar rier has been a goal second only to the four-minute bar rier for the mile run. Saturday Johannesen, a 26-year-old carpenter, cracked it but good and Viktor Ko sichkin of Russia was right on his heels at 15:49.2. The race, run in Pairs, got off to a rousing start when Kjell Backman of Norway, who ultimately finished third, shattered the old world mark with a clocking of 16:14.2. Ivar Nilsson, Swedden was fourth in 16:14.2; Terrence Monaghan, Great Britain, fifth in 16:26; and Torstein Seiertsen, Norway next in 16:31.6 Top United States finish was by Ross Zucco, a Holly dale, Calif., plumber, who broke the U. S. National rec ord with a timing of 16:26. The old U. S. mark was 17:26, set by Floyd Bedbury, St. Paul, Minn. Hamalainen's victory in the cross-crounty event was just about as stunning as Johan nesen's but for another rea son. - His coach forgot to tell him he was to compete in the race until Friday. "He didn't know until Fri day night," explained Finnish team leader Akseli Kaskela. "I just forgot to tell him." Never Headed Hamalainen, a midget as cross-country skiers go at five-foot-eight and 160 pounds, took the lead at the 15-kilometer mark and never was headed. However, he had to hustle down the home stretch as his favored teammate, Veikko Hakulinen, came charging after him. Hamalain en finished in front by about 100 yards after the grueling race with a clocking of 2 hours, 59 minutes and 6 sec onds. Behind the two Finns came three Swedes: Rolf Ram gard, 3:02.46.7; Lennart Lars son, 3:03.27.9; and Sixten Jernberg, 3:05.18. Pentti Pel konen of Finland finished sixth in 3:05.24.5. Top.U. S. finsher was An drew (Mac) Miller of Crested Butte, Colo., in 17th place in 3:17.23.2. Sweden, picking up 16 points during the day moved into second place in the unof ficial team standings as the United States dropped to third.

Springfield was rated 12th in the latest UPI poll. Cleveland, the third rank ing team in the state, was beaten 52-47 by 10th ranked Jefferson.

Ph. SP 2-21 1 1 - Court at McAndrews old Ottawa secretary, slashed ! down 'the steep slopes of Papoose peak on two occas ions Friday to win the Olym pic ladies slalom-and a bonus in the alpine combined world championship. It was a performance which just beat one Yankee maid and ruined the dreams of another. For when they started this two-run weaving and bobbing journey down the pair of pine -studded courses, pretty Penny Pitou, the glamour girl of the U.S. team, stood just the length of her blonde pony tail away from the world title. When it ended pretty Pen ny, of Laconia, N.H., had spilled and finished far out of the money all the way around while her brown-haired team mate, Betsy Snite of Norwich, Vt., had to settle for second place. The U. S. foursome couldn't even salvage third from Germany's Barbi Hen neberger. Miss Heggtveit, a Maple Leaf miss of Norwegian des cent, showed all the talent of her Scandinavian forebears as she zigged and zagged through the 53 gates on the first course in 54 seconds. Then, after side-stepping all the way back up that shining mountain, she zipped down through the 52 gates of the second course in :55.6 for a combined time of 1:49.6. It won. It also took the world alpine combined cham pionship awarded by the In ternational Ski Federation for best overall showing in the Olympic downhill, giant sla lom and slalom. For the five foot, five inch Anne had been 12th in each of the forerun ning events and her gold medal did it for her. It also blasted the hopes of the four American beauties in the race. Miss Snite roared down in :57.4 and :55.5 for a total clocking of 1:52.9 good for the second place silver medal; Beverly Anderson of Mullan, Idaho, had a first run spill for clockings on 1:13.1 and one minute flat for 2:13.1 and 26th place, while Renie Cox of Port Leyden, N.Y., had times of :59.4 and :59.8 for 1:59 and 9th place.
