3:49.7 when he burst special tape
at the 1,5O0-meter mark which run
ming about 10 yards ahead OF the
battling Twomey and Bill Hulse OF
the New York A. c.
The latter, the last American to
defeat Dodds, was beaten out for
third when, with a mighty last-lap
lift, Frank Efinger of Phillips And
over Academy over-hauled him.
Effinger was clocked in 4:19.2, prob
ably the fastest mile turned IN any
where by schoolboy.
Hulse Finishes Fourth.

Doreen in four lengths in front of
the favored Elpis, owned by VIII
liam G. Helis of New Orleans. The
crowds second choice, Miss Grillo,

The triumph was worth $38, 400

It was a bitter setback for Helis,
who sent three challengers into the

ST. NORTH, Switzerland, Feb
7.-Arguments and snow failed to
stop the Americans today as they
pulled into second place in the Win
ter Olympic Games with a cham
pionship in the four-man bobsled
race.
It was the United States No. 2
team, piloted by Francis Tyler of
Lake Placid, N. Y, that streaked
four times down the mile of sheer
ice in the total time of five minutes,
20.1 seconds to add more gold medals
and points to the American aggre-
gate.
Only last night Tyler threatened
to withdraw. Off1cials had ruled
that all second runs yesterday were
not to be counted because some of
the teams had not been able to
compete when water main burst
and flooded the tunnel of ice. He
still was angry this morning. ?
The United States No. team,
guided by James Bickford of Sara
mac Lake, N. Y, was third.
Biggest feat of the day, however.
was the somersault taken by the
International Olympic Committee
which restored hockey to the Olym-
pic program but added the United
States Amateur Hockey Association
team would not be awarded diplomas
of competition. The Swiss had in
sisted all along that hockey was
part of the Olympics even though
the IOC ruled it out in the squabble
over United States representation.
Other Titles Decided.
In addition to Tyler's champion
ship, other titles decided were:
Figure skating by pairs-won by
McIheline Lannoy and Pierre Baug-
MET of Belgium. Yvonne Sherman
and Robert Swenning of New York,
were fourth and the Kennedy chill
dren, Karol and Peter, of Seattle,
Wash, were sixth.
Ski jumping-won by Peter Hug
sted of Norway. Gordon Wren OF
Winter Park, Colo, took fifth place
the first time an American male ever
scored a point in an Olympic ski
event. =
With only the hockey champion
ship to be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
is the leader followed by Canada,
Switzerland and the United States
the Associated Press scorecard,
based on 10-5-4-3-2-1 for the six

BY Bill Fuchs

The Providence Steamrollers
rolled" into Uline Arena last night
and after playing Basket Ball As
sociation game with the Washing
ton Capitols, wobbled out on the
receiving end of an 1864 assault.
The game was strictly mo contest" .,
as the torrid Caps ran up their
fourth straight victory and their
eighth in the last nine starts. 81
The Caps began working the ball
toward the basket as the game
opened, something they have a
rough time doing against first-class
opposition. John Mahnken put in a
set shot from the side and a few
seconds later Johnny Norlander
contributed tap-in to put the
Caps ahead by four points. From
that point on they were never
threatened seriously.
The Rollers Immediately began
showing the 2,l62 fans present why
they have won only five games out of
"a this season. Lee Robbins, Kenny
Sailors and Ernie Calverley each
contributed two-pointers, which
made not-so-grand total Of three
for the visitors during the quarter.
The Caps, meanwhile, continued
to drop in shots at leisure. The
Washington club resembHd cat
playing with a mouse, taking shots
with an indifference that left the
blackboard strictly Providence terri
tory. With Bob Feerick, Freddie
Scolari and Norlander showing the
way. Washington worked up 21-7
lead as the initial session ended.
Caps Coach Charitable.
Not wishing to embarrass his
guests too much, Coach Red Auer-
bach began the second period with
his reserves. But the new entrants
took the game seriously and when
the half ended, the Caps led 40-23.
The third period, however, saw the
Caps overplaying their role as fun
sters. Obviously feeling that the
game was stored safely, the Caps
began having a merry time, throw
ing the ball away, letting Thurston.
Calverley and Sailors shoot at will
and doing little or nothing to pro-
tect the t7-point lead they owned
ut interrnission. ~ ~
The Rollers reduced the margin to
nine points when Auerbach sent
Scolari, John Mahnken and Bob
Feerick Back in and once again the
game took on its one-sided COM
plexion. This period ended with the
Gaps ahead 53-40.
The Gaps entered last nights

Division standings, one game ahead
of the st. Louis Bombers, who played

experienced the terrifying days

At this weeks session, Gordon

Southeast Washington for Wash
ington State College, described the
extension program.
The service is offered to provide
education opportunities for many
people who are not able for var
ious reasons to come to the CAM
pus at Pullman, he explained. In
addition to extension courses the
service provides for adult educa-
ton.
"The college is attempting
through this program to face prob.
lens with people over the state"
he said.
The extension service utilizes>
various methods in its program.
Besides many volumes on a wide
variety of subjects, the library also
offers films, slides and transcript
tons. Home study courses are de-
signed for club, programs as well
as individuals. The Bureau OF
Lectures and Institutes provides a
service for, speakers and special

"WSC is not trying to monop-
olize the college work of this part
of the state" he said. ION the
contrary we are anxious to work
closely with other colleges to meet
the growing demand for college
entrance" He stated that statistics
lead to the estimate that by 1864
there will be $4,000 people in the
state eligible for college training.
Percentages are rising each year
of those eligible who actually reg
lister in colleges.
Any persons with questions
about the extension service are
invited to contact Rutherford's Of
