 Lake Placid. N. Y., Feb 10-- (UP)-How does it feel to climb to the top of Mt Van Hoevenberg. pull a football helmet over your head and heavy goggles over your eyes, sit down on racing bob sled behind the most reckless driv- CT in the world, take one look at the twisting dipping glare ice trail that drops to nowhere, and shove off?
 wouldn't know, for you couldn't get me on one of those contrap- tions, even in the basement of a sporting goods store, but I'll let you talk with a man who does, Os- car Geir, brakeman for Reto Capa- drutt, that 2O-year-old Swiss mad natter who stops the spectators hearts when he throws "Switzer- land II" into high and heads for home.
 oscar Geir looks about as much like a guy. who's ride with the mad, mad Reto as General Coxey does like a Ziegfeld chorus boy. He's an even fifty years old, a patent lawyer in New York, mentally sound, married, has a daughter old as Reto, and loves life.
 Here's Geir. Let him tell you!
 "How do I feel when I sit be- hind young Reto and he turns around and says Let's go? feel marvellous, simply marvellous, and so perfectly at home and at ease, just as If was in my favorite chair reading my favorite author. Reto, his skill is so comforting, so er-er-er tremendous, that fear IS out of the question.
 "Yes, I know Reto is a little reckless, but somehow he always manages to arrive at the bottom in one piece. How well l remem- Der the experts taking one look at our strangely designed sled and telling us we'd never reach the bottom of the Mt Van Hoevenberg run alive. As he showed off Reto turned to the experts and said:
 "No? Well watch us give 1t a try" That's the kind of a boy Reto is. Even when we took home ten feet of ice and snow off the crest of zig gag curve, I never knew a moment of fear. For l knew that Reto if necessary. would ride right down the rim of the chute. No, that's not possible. Not for Reto. wouldn't be surprised If one of these days he jumped the track and kept right on going through the pine trees. Missing them, of course.
 What would Reto do, if at the end of the third heat of the two- man boblet competition to-day. he found himself behind and faced with the necessity of making rec ord time to win?
 "You know as well as I do what Reto would do. He would strive to reduce the distance to a mini num-"
 Even if he had to jump few curves?
 "Yes, even if he had to jump a few curves. When Reto Is in a hurry he gets awfully impatient
 And the doctor gets awfully nervous?
 "No, not one whit. It's just as if I was home in my favorite chair
 Doctor, don't believe you!
