Sacred Heart Academy's gymnasi um draws the big game ol the week (or County B League basket bailers tonight as coach Dino Obis so's SHA Trojans host the defend ing champions, the Malin Mustangs In a battle for first place. Last week, Merrill Invaded the Academy territory with a perfect 2-0 record, and the Trojans dumped the Huskies by a 19 point margin. But Mallrr is setting its sights on a third straight league win when the two clubs collide. Lawrence Makes Bid For Medal CORTINA, Italy (UP) Skier Andrea ..icad Lawrence, deiend ing champion In the women's giant sla.oui bui a "dark horse," never-the-less, makes a bid for Ameri ca's first gold medal today while other U.S. hopefuls also begin competition in three other events of the Winter Olympic Games. Tne women's mant slalom and the men's gruelling 30-kilometer cross-country ski race involved the only two gold medals actually at st&tLe today but the Russians and Finns are expected to monopolize the laUer event. American chances were some what brighter in two other events on today's program the first and second nea,s of the two-man bobsled competition and a hockey game between the U.S. and Czech oslovakia. The ohly other events scheduled are hockey games between Cana da and .tustria, Italy and Ger many, and Russia and Sweden. Mrs. Lawrence, a 23-year- old mother of three children Irom Parsbal, Colo., was the only American to win two gold medals In the 1952 winter games, but the majority of experts did not figure her to beat favored Madeleine Berthod of Switzerland today. IMPRESSIVE Andrea, or "Andy" as everyone refers to her, made her last prac tice run Thursday on the 1,700 meter- Canalone Delle Tofane slope where the women's giant slalom will be held and looked impres sive doing so. She had a little bell fastened to one ' of her ski poles and wore the same boots that brought her a double cham pionship at Oslo in 1052. . ., . "I have no Idea," she. replied when asked whom she thought would win the event. "The com petition is so good from so many quarters I couldn't make any pre dictions." Mrs. Lawrence will defend her title against 61 other entrants from 15 countries. The Olympic Games started offi cially Thursday with two hockey matches. In them, Canada, paced by Jerry Theberge's three goal "hat trick," defeated Germany, 4-0, and Italy came from behind to tie Austria, 2-2. But even as the hockey matches squabble was taking place behind the scenes over the "seeding" of competitors in the men's giant sla lom sk: race, scheduled for Sun day. WALK OUT The heated argument. In which American, Russian, French and officials of other nations took part, was climaxed when the delegate from Iceland walked out of the meeting in disgust. The argument arose over the fact that 21 skiers from 10 coun tries were "seeded" the advantage of starting earliest over the perish able course. The remaining field of 74 was practically condemned to defeat in advance by receiving whatever was left of the starting numbers. Vyacheslav Zachavtne, the lead er of the Russian ski team, be came so angry that only one of his team of four got a choice plac ;r lng that he shoved his translator t aside and started shouting at Jury members in Russian.

Center Dick Wickllne and guard Dean Michaells were re ported to be hindered by touches of the flu this week.. Wickline was absent from school at midweek. In the other county basketball action tonight, Chiloquin plays host to Bly, Merrill Is at home to the winless Grizzlies of Gilchrist and Henley travels to Bonanza for a non-league game. Chiloquin was beaten last week by Bonanza, in overtime, and will be out to regain their hold At the .500 mark. Merrill is favored to bound back from, their drubbing last week by the Academy to trip Gilchrist for the Grizzlies third straight defeat. Henley's A-2 Hor nets are picked to slip by Bonanza, but the Antlers are expected to make Henley work for their glory. Saturday night, Sacred Heart hosts one of the most powerful A-2 basketball teams In the state as they face St. Francis of Eu gene in a non-league ballgame on the academy maples. St. Francis holds a 9-1 season record and is 5-0 in their leagueMEmeraldi. Jim Souza, coach at Sacred Heart last year, is directing the St. Francis ballclub this season.

Jim Demaret Snares Lead In Golf Open PALM SPRINGS, Calif (Pi The main topics of interest in this usu ally sunny desert resort today were Jimmy Demaret. and the weather. Demaret led a field of 42 pros into the second round of the $15. 000 Thunderbird Tournament thanks to a 7-under-par 64 in the opening fire. It rained so hard last night that the pro-amateur sideshow was post poned until Saturday. Demaret had a lead of two strokes going into today's play over the 6.843-yard, par 36-35-71 Thunderbird Country Club course. His nearest foes were Gene Lit tler, Julius Boros, Doug Ford and Bo Winingcr. all with 66. Demaret won the event here in 1953 when it was a 64-hole tourna ment. He beat out Ben Hogan with a birdie and an eagle on the last two holes. Three strokes off the pace at 67 were Cary Middlecoff, Gardner Dickinson Jr., El Paso's Fred Haw kins and Jimmy Hines, Thunder bird's club pro. Seven were bunched at 68, In cluding Art Wall Jr., Jack Burke and Byron Nelson. The casualty list in a round that produced 26 sub-par scores Includ ed the three players who fought it out lor the S2.0O0 top money a year ago. They were Shelley May field, the ultimate winner in 1955, and Mike Souchak, the big guy who won the Caliente Open Sun day, Both with 71. Freddie Haas, the 1954 Thunderbird champi on, had a 73. t W.

Italy (Pi American Ice and snow ath letes got off to a bad start Friday In the seventh Winter Olympic Games. The ice hockey team, supposedly a darkhorse of the games, lost its opening game to Czechoslovak la. 4-3. Cross country skiers were far out of their class as the Finns, Swedes and Russians cleaned up. In the women's giant slalom, Mrs. Andrea Mead Lawrence of Parshall, Colo., finished In a tie for fourth as Oerman restaurant worker Ossi Relchert won. , Probably the biggest shock of all was the failure of the Ameri can bobsledders to show any bet ter than they did during the first two of four runs down the icy, one mile chute off Tofana Moun tain. Four years ago at Oslo the United States suddenly burst on the winter sports scene with four gold medal winners. Two of them went to the Grecian-faced Andv Lawrence, one for the giant slal om. Since then Andy has had three children, one arriving only last uctober. Considering her family affairs, Friday's finish was exceptionally good. But there were those who expected her to win despite the nas. Mrs. Lawrence's time was 1:58 3 almost two seconds behind the Oerman winner, whose time was 1:56.5. American finishers in the cross country could have been worse but not much. Lynn Levy of New Orleans, a part time Coloradan, finished 50th in the 51 man field with a time of 3:10:50.0. Andrew Miller of McCall, Idaho, finished 38th In 3:00:38.0. The ice hockey loss was an un lucky one. The Iron Curtain team scored in the last two minutes to get the victory. Hal Wood's Mid-Week Short Shots SAN DIEOO, Calif. (UP) Short shots: Two home run sluggers from the major leagues are busy try ing to build a 1058 Pacific Coast League pennant winner for the San Diego Padres but, oddly enough, they don't plan to feature the home run play. Ralph Klner, new general man ager of the Padres, ajid Bob El liott, the field manager, depended upon the long ball to make their salaries In the big time, "But we are just looking for a good, all-around team that will win the championship," says Kl ner. "We want home run hitters, sure, but we also want good field ers and good pitchers. Can't win a championship with just slug gers." . Remember a guy named Qene Littler? . A year ago at this time he was being hailed as the eventual suc cessor to Ben Hogan In profession al golf. . Today he is Just another threat for any title and some of the touring pros are rating Mike Sou chak. Dow Finsterwall and a cou ple of others as better prospects. Littler was one of the top money winners In the country last" year after a fast start but he tailed off and Is Just another man in the field these days. i . There are two guesses for the reasonsi "Littler is as good as he ever was from tee to green, but he can't putt," says one pro. Says another: "A year ago Gen had terrific power- of concentration, a la Ho gan. Today he is such a nice fel low that he talks to people as he walks along the fairways, greets friends in the gallery and there fore doea not concentrate fully on his game." Take your choice. The 1858 Southern Assn. baseball seasons opens April 10 with games at Birmingham, Nashville, Mem phis and Mobile. Finns, Germany Nab Medals As Games Open; Snow Conus CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy Hit Finland and Germany , each grabbed a first place gold medal Friday and Italy's two daredevil drivers took a commanding lead at the halfway mark of the two man bobsled championships as the seventh Winter Olympics opened full blast. Snow fell, too, to make this a Joyous occasion in this snow starved resort center but there was only gloom in the American camp. The two U.S. bobsled teams were virtually out of their competition, Mrs. Andrea Mead Lawrence fin ished in a tie for fourth place in the women's giant slalom and the U.S. hockey team absorbed a 4-3 defeat from Czechoslovakia In the last two' minutes of Us opening game. Velkko Hakulinen, a 31-year-old Finnish lumberman who won a gold medal at Oslo In 1952, be came the first champion of these games when he captured the 30 kilometer cross country ski race (18 miles, 1.128 yards), a new event on the Olympic program. He won the 50-kilometer grind in the last Olympics. TIMED Hakulinen was timed In 1 hour, 44 minutes, 8 seconds, with a Swede second and a Russian third. Ossi Reichert, a 30-year-old Ger man cafeteria manager, unofficial ly won the giant slalom in the sparkling time of 1 minute, 58.5 seconds for the lightning fast. 1,700 meter (mile, 109 yards) Tofano course, to dethrone Mrs, Lawrence. The 23-year-old American house wife from Parshall, Colo., winner of both the giant slalom and slal om In 1953, was tied for fourth in 1:58.3. The slalom results were decided official after the usual review by the Judges. With the only two finals com pleted, Russia, making its debut in the winter games with a power ful squad, was tied for first with Germany and Finland with 10 points each in the unofficial team scoring. The Russians compiled their points with third, fourth, fifth and sixth places In the cross coun try ski race. No official point score Is kept in the Olympics but traditionally points are counted 10-5-4-3-2-1 in all events in which gold medals are awarded. Italy's Umbcrto Bulla Costa, a 35-year-old Jet pilot, and Eugenio Monti, a pint-sized former Italian ski champion, raced away from their field in the first two heats of the four-heat bobsled event. The final two trips for the two man bobs will be made Saturday with total times for all four runs determining the championship. ZOOMED Dalla Costa, at the wheel of Italy's No. 1 sled, zoomed down the icy chute In 1:23 and 1:22.45 for a total of 2:44.5. Monti was clocked In 1:22.73 and 1:22.53 for 2:45.26. Walghtman (Bud) Washbond, at the wheel of the No. 1 U.S sled with Pat Biesiadeckl, Ware. Mass., at the brake, held fifth place with 3:48.97 on runs of 1:24.83 and 1:24.15.' Art Tyler and Ed Sey mour, both of Rochester. N.Y., were sixth with 2:49.18 on runs of 1:25.41 and 1:23.77. The U.S. didn't figure to do any thingand didn't-in the 30-kilometer cross country ski race. The hockey defeat was a mild surprise. Now the U.S. must beat Poland Saturday and hope the Czechs knock over the Poles Sunday to gain the final round of the hockey tournament. The other American (iris in the giant slalom finished away back in this order: 22. Gladys Werner, Steamboat Springs, Colo., 3.04; 34. Penny Pltou, Laconla, N.H., 2:10.4: and 36. Betsy finite, Nor wich, Vt., 3:16.2.
