'1948 Team Members
Tagging in Olympic
Speed Skating Trials
BY the Associated Press

ST. PAUL. Mimi. Jan. 30
Some of the five 1948 United
States Olympic speed-skating
team members who are trying to
repeat may be in for serious
trouble. it appeared today. as the
tryouts for the 1852 team went
into the second day.
Two things lead to that surmise.
The first is yesterdays results in
the 500-meter trials and the sec
ond is the outcome Of the national
outdoor speed-skating champion
ships over the week end.
Ken Henry of Chicago, a 1948
Olympic team member, ranked
himself high as a contender for
the 1852 team by having the best
time of yesterdays three trials.
He skated it in 44.4 seconds, fol-
lowed by Don McDermott of En-
gleWood Cliffs, N. j., with ass.
Fitzgerald Third.
That pushed Bob Fitzgerald of
Minneapolis into the third best
time of the day. a 0:46.2. Gene
Sandvig of Minneapolis also
brought himself into considera-
tion with a time of 0:46.3 in two
of his trials.
Fitzgerald's speciality long has
been the SprintS and unless he
can make better showing in
today's two trials at 1900 meters,
there may be some serious ques-
ton Of his chances for the 1852
team,
Ken Bartholomew of Minneap-
oils. Ray Blum of Nutley, N. j.,
and Johnny ,Werket of Mime
apolis. all members of the 1948
team that went to Europe, finished
fairly well down in the time list.
Blum and Bartholomew, how
ever, are better over the longer
distances. so yesterdays results
apparently shouldn't concern them
too much. However, Bartholo-
NEW, who Sunday won his sixth
National outdoor championship,
had to do it without gaining a
first in any of the seven events.
Temperature 18 Below.
He was third beind Henry and
Sandvig in the $50. and second
behind Blum in the 2-mile. He
had 30 points to Henry's 10 points
IN the championship reckonings.
One thing in Blum's favor is
the fact he likes skating in cold
weather. He should feel right at
home because yesterdays 500
meter events were run off in 18-
below-zero weather, and the fore
cast was for more of the same for
today. Werket is a middle dis
tance man and still has good
prospects.
Each of the 81 skaters will have
to negotiate the 1,500-meter dis
tance twice today. Then, the first
00O-meter trial will be held
Wednesday, with the second trial
Thursday. Friday will see them
travelling the 10,000-meter race
once.
When the results are completed
Friday. the committee will select
the team members on the basis
of performance. form and poten-
tlalities.
