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.

Oblsso may be without the serv

which could mean the difference
in Sacred Heart's chances to move
into a first place deadlock with
Malin. 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.
Souza has plenty of backboard
strength with one hoopster stand
ing 6-5 and another 6-4. plus the
factor of having five experienced
camera on the team.
Tonight's preliminary games will
start at 7:30 pitting the B teams,
while the A game will follow at
8:30. The prelim of the St. Francis-Sacred
Heart game Saturday
night will find the Jayhawks of
the Basin Independent L e a 'g u e

Guard Quintet
Skeets whipped the National
Guard "Golds" 69-47 In one half
of last night's Cltv League bas
ketball action at Henley High
School, while the Joslen Ramblers
knocked off Klamath Jets In a
thrilling 49-46 encounter In the
other maple court battle.
The Skeets win over the Golds
avenged an earlier season loss to
the Guardsmen, and marks the
first setback of the year for the
"Golds." Tom Schubert again led
the Skeets cagers to victory with
26 points, while Ed Whitney and
Gary Dawes followed with 11 and
10 points respectively. High for
the National Guard were Les Floe
chini with 12 and Ken Young who
hit for 11. The halftlme score
gave Skeets a seven point lead,
30-23.
Bob Gahimer poured 18 points
through the net for the Jets and
Bill Rodriguez added 14 more, but
Joslen's attack- was too . much to
handle as the . Ramblers posted
their second straight victory. Bud
Muller was high point man for
the evening with 25 points, while
Ken Benke collected 11 for the
Ramblers. The halftlme score fav
ored Joslen's 27-25.

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

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. W) Willie
Pastrano of New Orleans figures
to be a 7-5 choice over Chuck
Spieser of Lansing. Mich., when
the two light heavyweight contend
ers meet in a 10-round fight in
the auditorium tonight.
Pastrano, strapping 20-year-old
who has not lost a fight since
Nov. 30, 1953, when Italo Scorti
chinl beat him, is expected to
weigh in at around 182 pounds,
which would give him a weight
advantage.
Speiser, a Michigan State grad
uate. Is a puncher who has won
six of seven fights since coming
out of the Army last March. He
lost only to Pastrano, In Chicago
last July, and since then has been
anxious for a return engagement.

Bad Start
Made By
Americans
CORTINA D'AMPEZZO. 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

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.
In the cross-country ski grind
Andrew Miller' of McCall, Idaho,
finished 38th in 2:00.38 and Lynn
Levy of New Orleans, a parttlme
Coloradan, finished 50th In the 61
man field with a time of 3: 10.58.
In the point scoring Mrs. Law

points for the U.S.
Miss Suite, and three other com
petitors In the giant slalom. Bone
