ST. NORTH, Switzerland, Feb.
3-How does an 18-year-old boy
feel who stands on the threshold OF
winning an Olympic f1gure-skatlng
championship and possibly the only
OLYMPIC title for America IN the
fifth winter games?
Nervous? Not particularly. Ex-
eept lust before the music starts.
"Then I feel so weak I could go
to Sleep" said Dick Button OF En-
slewood, N. j., "but after begin,
the music gets in me and start to
push. Before that I feel as II /
could not get two inches off the ice. y
Actually he leaps 18 feet in fluid
grace, and although he only goes
20 inches up in the air-that's
what his coach, Gus Lussi, says-lt
looks like a lot more because it IS
his whole body that goes up spin
ming and turning.
Dick all but assured himself OF
the Olympic title by taking COM
manding lead in the compulsory
figures yesterday. If he wins he'll
be the first American to wear that
crown. Free-style skating is his
speciality, so it seems that nothing
short of an accident. can stop him
now. He is considered by many the
greatest free-style skater in the
world.
HE has had his heart set on the
Olympics ever since he started
skating" says his mother, Mrs.
George Button, who is here with
her husband to witness what they
hope will be their sons greatest
triumph.
And if he wins, will he turn pro-
fessional?
NO" says Dick. There's no fu-
ture in it. When you get to IS and
you're a little thick around the. mid
die and your hair gets thin like it
does in our family, no one wants to
see you skate
In his opinion, education is the
most important thing. He has been
accepted for Yale and will start
next fall
DICK Is nanQSome IllH-ldCeo
youth of average height with close
cut brown hair and ruddy COM
plexion from exposure to the noun
tain sun. and has boyish, pleasant
voice. He sprinkles his converse
ton with "sirs."
A graduate of the Englewood
School for Boys, where he won a
letter in football, he likes to ski
(Which he is not allowed to do now
for fear of injuries, play tennis and
would do more with his piano studies
If he had the time.
If he wins the Olympic crown to-
morrow, as every one confidently
expects him to do, he will go on
to nearby Davos next week to try
to win the world championship from
Hans Gerschwiler of Switzerland.
Dick defeated the Swiss ace in
points at the end of the school
figures, 9e47 to 965.l.
That's the highest figure in
Olympics know Of" says Coach

Notre Danes Victory
lover Wildcats Marks
3Sth in Row al Home
By the Asaoeiafed Pres,

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The mighti-
est of them all somehow stumble
and fall when they face Notre Dame
in the Irish field hall.
Kentucky'S power-packed basket
ball team, generally regarded as one
Of the finest college cage squads in
the country, was the latest to sue
cumb to Notre Danes home gym
jinx when the Irish. last night wal
loped the Wildcats, 64-55, in one of
the most important games of the
season.
The win made it 38 straight home
triumphs for the Irish over a period
of five seasons. The last team to
defeat Notre Dame on its home
court was Western Michigan, which
did the trick by a 46-42 count De-
cember 4. 1943.
The victory was in the nature of
revenge for the Irish, who received
a 5000 pasting at the hands of the
wildcats in Kentucky just year ago
last night. 1t also proved to be a
fine present for Irish coach Ed
(Moose) Krause, who reached his
35th birthday anniversary. The Sc
ries between the two teams now
stands at 1913 in favor of Notre
Dame.
O'Shea Scores rs Points.
Kentucky had come up to South
Bend with a record of 18 victories
in 10 starts, its only defeat, a $3.50
setback inflicted by Temple. For
the Irish, it was their ninth win
in 13 starts this season.
Kevin O'Shea, Notre Danes
genuine Irishman from San Fran
cisco, was the scoring star, caging
Is points to win scoring duel from
Kentucky's Alex Groza. The Wild
cat center netted % points. After
the lead had changed hands IL
times In the first half and the
score was tied eight times, Notre
Dame opened up a 1892 halftime
lead and was never headed after
that.
Ohio State knocked Michigan out
Of the lead in the Big Nine Con-
ference by handing the favored
Wolverines a 70-66 licking at Co.
lumbus, Ohio. Scoring their Sec
ond Big Nine Victory, the Buck
eyes handed Michigan its second
defeat against three victories and
dropped the losers into a fourth
place tie with Purdue. Idle Wis
consin, with a record of So, took
over the lead.
Iowa moved into a second place
tie with Illinois by outlasting
Northwestern, 57-54, in an over
time tussle. Little Murry Weir
dropped in 20 points to lead the
Hawkeyes' attack. The total was
one point more than Bob Donham
made to pace the Buckeyes in their
upset win over Michigan.
In Southeastern Conference games,
Tennessee nipped Mississippi State,
47-46, for its 18th victory in 16
starts. Vanderbilt upset Auburn,
55-47, and Mississippi mauled Louisi-
ana State, 49-37.
The touring Texas Wesleyan team,
winner of 10 of 13 games in the
Lone Star State, dropped its fifth
of seven games on the road, bowling
to Seton Hall, 59-41. 1t was the
Pirates sixth in row and 14th win
in Is starts

-Four Pro Grid Records
Are Set by Sanders,
.A-AFigures Show
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Feb. 3.-The official
figures on rushing in the ALL
American Conference which showed
that Orban (Spec) Sanders, New
York Yankees great back, did
everything with a pigskin except eat
it, was welcomed with sighs of re-
lief by iots of football players, espe-
cially the linemen.
The hardy batch of gridders did
not need the statistics, released to-
day, to show them that Sanders was
a dynamo in mole-skins last year.
There still were numerous bruises
to attest to that.
The figures show that five in
dividual all-time pro records were
set-and that Sanders set four Of
them. -Four other new marks were
created by the teams.
Sanders shattered Beattie Feath-
ers' 13-year-old mark Of 1904 yards
gained in a season by churning out
1,432 yards in IA games. That was
more than twice his 709-yard total
which led the conference in 1916.
Feathers racked up his total with
the Chicago Bears in the National
League.
Breaks Van Buren's Mark.
Sanders 18 touchdownS on rushes
bettered Steve Van Buren's 1916
mark. Van Buren accounted for II
touchdowns with the Philadelphia
Eagles, also in the National League.
The Yankees ace sophomore also
erased Cliff Battles marks of ZIG
carries with 231 and 215 yards in a
single game with $50 in a game
against Chicago.
Sanders made nearly half of New
York's total of 1890 yards, an all
time team mark, and his work was
instrumental in. enabling the league
to establish three records: l6,868
yards, 4.33 yards per carry and 301 2
per game.
San Francisco joined the record
breakers with a new high of 1873
first downs by rushing and Buffalo's
mark of only 162 yards lost is also
an AAC mark.
frankie Albert, 160-pound T-for-
nation passing star of the 49ers;
Mickey Colmer, rugged Brooklyn
fullback, and Sanders each tied the
league record of three touchdowns
by rushing in a single game, Sand
ers turning the trick twice.
Yankees Sparkle Defensively.
Four players besides Sanders
topped his 1,946 total of TOO yards.
John Strzykalski of San Francisco
gained 906 yards, Marion Motley OF
Cleveland picked up 889, Chet
Mutryn of Buffalo, 1853, and Buddy
Young, New York, 712. All averaged
better than 6 yards per clip, but
the top average went to Edgar
Especial Delivery Jones OF the
championship Browns. The speedy
back made 443 yards on SO carries
for an average of 6.42 per try.
Bob Hoernschmeyer of the Dodg-
ers broke Chuck Fenenbock's record
for the longest run in a game from
scrimmage when he broke through
Buffalo's defense for romp of "a
yards. Fenenbock set his former
mark of rs for Los Angeles last year.
Monk Gafford of the Dodgers, with
"a, and Bob Kennedy of the Yam
KEGS, with rs, also broke the former
record, which was tied by Motley.
Defensely it was the Yankees all
the way except in rushing touch
downs allowed. The gigantic Los
Angeles line held opponents to nine
such scores, followed by San Fran
cisco's 10, Cleveland's IL and New
York's 13 over a 14-game route. The
Yankees permitted conference lows
of only 271 ground plays for 1897
yards, an average of 3.37 per try,
and or1ly Ct first downs.
