Sled Run Perilous
The approximately two-mile
bobsled run at Mount Tofana
was so pocked with holes and re-
lated perils that Kapus almost
forfeited the title after whiz-
zing down the course in a record
l1:l7.09 on his third trip.
II don't think III make the
fourth rum" he said. Somebody
might get killed"
But he was persuaded to do SC
by his sledmates and his more
cautious l:18.l6 final run gave
him a clearcut victory--a margin
of 2.34 seconds over Mont. the
Italian Jet pilot. who registered
5:12.l0. Then Kapus announced
This was my last run I'm
through. I'm retiring"
Tyler said afterwards:
1T was terribly bumpy all the
way. Our front axis seems tc
have got knocked on our last rur
and looks out Of shape. They
patched up the holes. but the
patches don't hold when the next
sled rattles over them"
The race for third place had
been dogfight between Tyler
and Max Angst. 34-year-olo
butcher from Zurich.
Angst's crew was thrown into
