WINTER OLYMPIC
GAMES NEARING
FINAL EVENTS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

LAKE PLACID, N. Y. Feb. 13.-
The third winter Olympic games
will close officially today, but be-
fore the final ceremony some $4,000
visitors will witness the worlds
most gruelling test of skiing, the
50-kilometer crosS-country race.
The battle for the Olympic hoe
key championship between United
States and Canada also is sched-
uled.
Although warm weather forced
postponement of the spectacular
four-man bobsled competition until
tomorrow, those enthusiasts who
crave thrills should be satisfied af-
ter watching one of the greatest
ki-jumping duelS in history yester-
day on Intervales Hill.
They saw two Norwegian youths,
who as boyhood playmates had
learned TO fly through the air in
the little mining town of Kongs-
berg, battle so hard for the title
that the perplexed judges an
nounced first one victor and then
the other.
Birger Ruud, red-cheeked 49,
year-old mechanical student, won
the championship, according to the
second announcement. with prodi-
gious leaps of 218 and 226 feet.
These distances. coupled with his
splendid form, brought him the
winning point score of 228.1 out OF
a possible 240.
Hans Beck, 18-year- old mining
clerk from Norway, established
new Intervales record by sailing
through the air 232 feet. More
cautious on his second jump, he
leaped only 208. He made 227
points, according to the judges fin
al compilation, just IL behind his
team mate.
The United States entered today's
competitions with a 15-point lead
over the nearest competitor, Nor
way America had 83 points, and
the Norwegians, 68. Although Nor
way gained l9 points in yesterdays
ski jumping, this was partly offset
last night in the figure skating
doubles, when Beatrice Loughran
and Sherwin Badger of United
States finished second to M. and
Mime. Pierre Brunei of France.
Want Cold Weather
With cold weather promised to-
morrow, officials hops that the
four heats in the bob races can be
run OFF on Mount Van Hovenberg.
If warm weather continues, how
ever, and the ice banks on the
run are melted away, the races
probably will be cancelled Olym-
pic rules provide only "a hours oy-
er-time for events not finished
when the games close officially.
In such event, there will be no
Olympic championship decided, but
the worlds championship will be
determined here Monday and
Tuesday when the North American
bob championships are run.
Today's 50-kilometer ski grind
starts on South Notch Trail, on
the River Road, about three miles
out of town. The race is such
strain on endurance that feeding
stations are required along the
course.
America has four entrans in the
ski race: Nils Backstrom, Robert
Reid, Richard Parsons and Norton
Billings.
Today's hockey match between
United States and Canada will be
held at the arena. If America wins,
it will mean a play-off for the
championship.

TOMMY MILLS, the coaching
boss man of Georgetown
/ University's foot ball outfit,
is not so keen for the tam
pering of the rules.
Tom did not say out and out,
hit-from- -the-shoulder, that he
was agin 'em. Tom is Irish. And
that ought to explain.
What Tommy did was to tell a
little yarn about what will hap
pen on a foot ball field 10 years
hence If the rule makers do not
quit softening up the game and
the players.
"Foot ball." interposed Tom. "is the
only rugged game left to a soft age.
Soften a boy physically and you are
going to make him pliable morally"
No doubt of that and the 1000, or
more, guests at the varsity dinner
held at Hotel willard last night
wagged heads and clacked tongues
in agreement.
OF course, Tom could have said
that the Rules Committee of foot
ball agree with Toms assertion and
that is the reason why they are
trying to save foot ball. The game
was up for questioning last Fall.
Something had to be done. Some
thing more than the gestures of
other years. And 1t was done. All
for the sake Of the game and not
to dull it.
However, Tom put over his point last
night without nicking the Rules Com
mittee with his little AK. He agreed
preceding speaker, that the less said
about the rules the better for the ships
crew.
Tom recited a mythical newspaper
account Of foot ball game 10 years, or
20 years, from next Fall. "Of course, "
said Tom, 1.-The news will be found on
the society pages and not in the sports
section which, by that time, will have
been modified along with foot ball..
Tommy's yarn vividly told Of the
Georgetown University's foot ball
team romping upon the field to play
the New York University eleven,
donned in blue waists, bedecked with
gray lace and festooned with white
silk sash.
In action Tommy's coming teams
advanced slowly, tagging the man
with the ball which the new rules
called for to eliminate any body con-
tact. Between the halves Of Mills
contest the boys drank tea and en-
tertained buds and matrons in the
stands. Only the very wealthy could
afford to play in the G-town mentors
foot ball contest.
Mills story went over bigger than he
might have imagined. Your observer

Tom Mills of Georgetown Gets in Yelled Dig Rule Juggers

BY TOM DOERER-

former foot ball men and boys playing
the game today. They we're afraid that
the Rules Committee has gone a little
too far in eliminating blocking. They
contend that if the game loses its
spectacular touch, it will no longer ap-
peal to the student and the public.
But there were few who con-
demned the committee. They, like
the coaches, felt that the rule makers
had their backs to the wall last Fall
and that there was nothing much
for them to do but make drastic
move to subdue the reformers.
But the feeling Is that the men
who decide what Is what In foot ball
may continue to attempt to please
the reformers of the game until the
sport no longer will typify the virility
and courage of American college
youth.
All Of which Tommy Mills got over
in his ridiculOusly funny yarn. Tom is
an actor. When he served up the choice
parts of his story with gestures. his lis
teners had their ears pinned on an
orator. He indicated his fears of too
much tampering with the mandates and
did 1t without having gone on record
of having said it.
Jock Sutherland the tall Scot who
handles the teaching of the University
of Pittsburgh gridders, sidetracked the
question of the rules, but let 1t be
known that they were upon his mind.
In looking for subject upon which
to talk" said Jock, Il will avoid the
rules" Which Is a Scotsman's way
of saying that he did not like them.
This years foot ball is going to
be more interesting than last sea-
sons. 1t will be a year where the
coaches will attempt many new
stunts to beat the rules which slow
up parts of the game The mentors
are going to get speed and thrills
despite the mandates. And it is
going to be interesting to watch the
results. Maybe, after all. the dulling
Of the game may work for more
speed. The coaches, for the first
time in the last few years, have to
do some originating.
But foot ball is far from going un-
der. 1t was an athletes dinner, but
from the table talk it was all foot ball
last night. Tommy's dream gridders
may wear silk blouses and gray lace
but If I know my gridders they will
have ice picks and hat pins hidden up
their sleeves.

M w. Va, April 21.-The har-
" " ried tennis fathers, whose
business 1t is to select the
right combination to represent the
United States in Davis Cup play this
Summer, found themselves today with
a brand-new prospect to consider.
Eugene McCauliff, young doctor Of
philosophy from Yonkers, N. Y, be-
came the latest unknown" to force his
way into the thoughts of the committee

set victory over John Van Ryn of
Philadelphia, the country's fourth-rank-
ing star, in the quarter-finals of the
Mason and Dixon tournament here yes
terday.
NFcCAULIFF, far down in the ma
IVl tional ranking, looked like a
champion as he turned back the
Davis Cup doubles veteran, 60, 64,
81. His bounding service and
swift returns had Van Ryn on the de-
fensive all the way, and he proved his
fighting ability to come from behind
and win after trailing, 2-5, in the
final set
Following the Yonkers youth into the
semi finals was a veteran who already
is assured a place on the Cup team,
Wilmer Allison of Austin, Tex. Allison
continued his superb play in eliminat-
ing j. Gilbert Hall of South Orange,
N. j., 60. 81, 6-3.
McCaulif and Allison were able to
rest today and Let the field catch up
with them. In one of the quarter-finai
tits scheduled, the national champion,
Ellsworth Vines, jr., was to have his
first test of the year againSt Gregory
Mangin of Newark, the new indoor
title holder.
IN the other bracket, tall Frank
i Shields of New York was paired
against Marcel Rainville, Canadian
star. McCauliff Is In the bracket with
Vines and Mangin and will face one or
the other In Fridays semi-finals.
+ The Baroness Giacomo Levi of New
York, defending champion in women's
singles, was scheduled to meet Mrs.
