CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Jan.
30.-Fritz Feierabend. veteran
Swiss bobsledder, took an almost
unbeatable lead today in the
world four-man championships
by winning the first two heats
down Cortina's hazardous icy
slide.
In his two blistering runs down
the twisting. mile-long chute,
Feierabend far OUTRAGED Is sleds
from six other nations. Twice
he smashed the course record
which he himself had set in a
trial run Thursday.
Thus, barring an accident, he
virtually clinched the world
crown which will be decided in
two final heats tomorrow. Total
times for the four heats deter
mine winner.
Germany'S Hans Rosch placed
second while the two American
entries placed third and fourth,
but we'll behind both Feierabend
and Rosch.
The lanky. 45-year-old Feiera-
bend. who won the four-man
crown in 1885 and again in l947,
whipped down the l6-turn slide
of sheer ice on his first run in
minute 1895 seconds to shat
ter the record Of 1:19.74 he had
set Thursday. On his second
run he smashed the record again
in lightning time of 1:l8.07 for
two-heat total of 2:27.0l. /
Rosch's total time was 2:40.63.
Next to Feierabend he had the
fastest times of l:20.1l and
1902.
An American outsider who was

champion driver. Lloyd john

two-heat total of 2:42.29.
Sweden surprised the crowd
OF several thousand Shivering
spectators by capturing fifth
place just behind Johnson. The
birthplace sled. Sweden's No. 2
entry, was piloted by Gunnar
Abs in 2:42.44.
Although the course is fastest
it has ever been in the memory
of Cortina's bob-sledding enthu-
siaSts, there were no accidents.
Feierabend was favored to win
the world crown after his trial
performances earlier this week.
His lightning descents on the
perilous slide today, however,
astounded officials and fellow
contestants.

'HdrmoniousMeetinq
Old Rules Retained
By Lewis r. Atchison
Stor Ssoff Correspondent


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30
National Football League club
owners today neared the end of
their annual meeting after de-
Gliding against any major
changes in playing rules for 1854.
"The public likes the game as
it is" said Commissioner Bert
Bell, commenting on the defeat
Of a proposal by Jack Mara of
the New York Giants to rule the
ball dead when ball carrier
is knocked down. "They like to
see boy get up and go for that
extra yardage, especially if he
makes a touchdown" The
change was supported by the
Redskins and the Chicago Bears,
but lost by a Us vote.
There was no promise of any
real news today from one of the
most harmonious 4eague meet
ings in recent years.
A Pat and Kick.
The IL club owners gave Bell,
in effect, a pat on the head and
kick in the pants, by giving
him a new 12-year contract and
then voting down virtually every
rule change he proposed at last
nights session.
Bell will get $4,000 a year,
plus an annual payment of $l0,.
600 into pension fund for him.
He turned down an increase be-
cause the league has had "un-
usual costs" in the last two
years due to franchise shifts and
the Governments television anti
trust unit.
The only change in rules will
permit the offensive team to ask
for a playable, or dry ball, on
rainy days.
Bells annual proposals to
eliminate the point after touch
down and provide sudden death
playoffs to prevent tie games
were defeated.
Got No Second.
"They were Inundated" the
commissioner explained. There
was no second for the extra
point and no motion for elm
mating the ties"
Later the club owners voted
against increasing the player
limit from 33 to IS and doing
away with the injured reserve
list.
/ They passed over the idea Of
legislating against fake injuries
to prolong a game. Bell said he
thought few coaches had taken
advantage of such tactics last
year and there was no need for
the rule.
The owners also discussed the
matter of paying incidental ex-
penses of players in training
camp. but decided to leave it
to individual clubs to handle
in their own way.
The meeting was expected to
end late today, although hag-
Cling over technicalities in the
constitution and bylaws, which
are revised from year to year.
slowed down things perceptibly.

WaFmath Will Tackle
Complicated Task in
Rebuilding Gophers

|
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 80. -
Murray Warmath, a hard-driv-
ing disciple of two great football
masters, today was intrusted
with the job Of prodding Mime
sofa back to gridiron glory.
Ahead of him lie problems
both urgent and complicated.
Warmath, for practical pur-
poses; is a total stranger to both
the players he will work with and
the Big Ten in which he will
compete. He will have to trans
plant his split-T offense from
Mississippi State to Minnesota
in the short space of the 20-day
spring practice time allowed by
the NCAA rules.
But it was a measure of the
schools confidence in him that
the 4l-year-old Tennessean
was given the highest priced
contract in Minnesota football
history.
Warmath has a four-year con-
tract at $4,000 annually.
His reputation is confined
largely to fellow coaches and
close followers of Southern foot
ball. Announcement of his Sc
lection here yesterday was
greeted by typical Who's War
math?"
Taught by Neyland. Blaik.
People associated with his ca
reer call him a sound football
man, thorough and a perfection
list. He got that way under two
of modern footballs most de-
manding perfectionists - Bob
Neyland of Tennessee and Red
Blaik of Army.
It was Blaik's solid indorse-
ment that prompted Ike Arm
strong, Minnesota athletic direc-
tor. to cast his lot with an out
slider to Gopher football.
The choice took O certain
amount of fortitude. Mime
sofa alumni earnestly hoped the
job vacated by Yves Fesler would
go to a Minnesota graduate.
They made known those senti-
ments to Armstrong and there
was some acrimony when the
school failed to land Alumnus
Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma.
William Prof1itt. president of
the schools m" Club, said after
the selection the group would
back Warmath to the best of its
ability.
Relies on Strong Lines.
Warmath has gained his
greatest success as the developer
of strong lines. The superb
Tennessee lines of the late 1930s
were partly his handiwork, as
were the Army lines Of 1949-51.
Warmath was in the line
coaching business from 1885
until 1851. with time of for the
war. He has been a head coach
only for the last two years,
during which Mississippi State
teams won 10, lost 6 and tied 8.
With due allowance for the
material, Warmath plans to go
with his split-T at Minnesota.
where power football has long
reigned supreme.
His system demands line
power, which he may have at
Minnesota, and backf1eld speed
plus a versatile quarterback.
which he may not have.
Minnesota guaranteed him
freedom in making his staff
selections. and Warmath has
made no final decisions as yet
However. he is expected to take
at least part of his present staff
with him.
Lyal Clark, line coach at
Minnesota under Fesler, yester-
day accepted a similar post at
Ohio State.
