 Qarrison's goal was rapped in from the midst of scrimmage at the mouth of the opposition goal.
 Tom Moone Was Star
 Major honors for the American victory went to Goalie Tom Moono of Boston who made brilliant saves near the end of the second period. Four times the Czechs threw four and five men up the ice in Q des- perate attempt to score but on each occasion Moone turned back the at- tack with almost impossible saves.
 Tn the first period the Americans seemed to be pressing too hard and missed many easy chances.
 A crowd of 5000 saw the .. 8. team, which is co-favored with Canada to win the title, suddenly come to life in the next period to score the winning goals.
 Tn the third period, the Czechs attacked vigorously but they were unable to break through the rugged American defense. Garrison's back checking was particularly effective in turning the opposition attack m the final session.

 The best day of olympic competi. ton America has thus far enjoyed was started by its bob-sled team, early this morning on the treacher- ous Mount Gudiberg.

 Americans Look Good
 The Americans, @ minute and Al seconds behind the Swiss in total time. backed their claim that they will retain the title with the fast est single run recorded today. On the second drop. the Stevens sled went down in one minute, lS.l7 sec' onds.
 The American Number 2 sled fin. ished sixth in the trials. behind France and Belgium, whose sledders placed fourth and fifth respectively.
 Stevens, the only member or the American team who rode in 1882, predicted the Americans would do better tomorrow.
 Tn another match of the group inc volving the United States, Sweden defeated Austria, 1 to 0.
 With six teams still to make their second run, the bob-sledding was postponed until later in the day. It originally was announced that post ponement was necessary because the course had become sloppy near the Bayern turn, where three accidents occurred today.
 Later, however, 1t was revealed the reason for the delay was that the No. 2 Italian sled, which crash- ed there this morning, knocked large hole in the banked turn.
 Immediately after the Italian sled crashed, breaking one sledder's nose and lacerating another, the No. 2 American sled shot by the dam aged portion of the court and lost several seconds as 1t swung onto its side. The sled slammed high on the bank, breaking the guard rail. Jim Bickford, brakeman. wrenched his right shoulder but this will not prevent him from competing tomor- row.
