Between now and the 10th
running Of The Star Games next
January. they will pass out the
coveted gold medals to the win
ners Of the 18th Olympic Games.
Nobody will have anything like
10 cinch at Melbourne, but some of
the winners In The Star Games
at the Armory Saturday night
figure high in the speculation.
Perhaps the Rev. Bob Richards,
the superlative pole vaulter. is
the closest thing to a shoo-in for
another Olympic title, but Don
Bragg, the Villanova sensation
who had 70 miss Saturday nights
show because of school exams,
may have time to pull himself up.
He has been over is feet on two
occasions and there is an in
dication that Richards is getting
tired.
/ I'm 80 years old now" the
vaulting parson said after win
ming his third Star Games
trophy, land after the Olympics
I think I'll retire" Richards also
tied for first place here twice.
Between now and November,
when the worlds greatest ath-
letes will gather in Australia. the
scramble in this country will be
watched closely as the hopefuls
try to increase their chances.
On the four indoor meets to
date. here is a rundown of the
main American rivalries:
Sprints-Dave Slime, Duke
University's major league base
ball prospect. crashed the party
that previously included George
Sydnor. the Villanova star:
Andy Stanfield, 1852 Olympic
winner at 200 meters, and 1t.
Rod Richard of the Army by
way Of UCLA. Stanfield still
hasn't won a race. but he was
right behind Slime Saturday
night and repeatedly is coming
along slowly. The performances
by these two in the Armory
guarantees a sizzling competition
in the dashes the rest of the
season.

Sweden's Oil Consumption
QuadrupIed In Ten Years

STOCKHOLM (By airmaiD =
The consumption of oil in Sweden
has nearly quadrupled in less than
ten years and totaled 1906 litres
per inhabitant in 1855, as COM
pared with 341 litres in 1916, &C.
cording to a survey published by
the Swedish ESQ Company. Swed-
en- now leads in Europe per capita
consumption of oil. (There are
about four litres to a gallon.) Out
of total consumption of $4,000
cubic meters in 1855, about six
teen per cent was accounted for
by motor fuel, 1913 per cent by
diesel oil, etc., ga per cent by
furnace oil, and 49, per cent by
other fossil fuels.
Since the end Of World War II,
Sweden's overall consumption of
energy has risen by about thirty
per cent, figure which CORES
ponds fairly well to the total in
crease in industrial output. How
ever, in the same period a notable
shift has taken place in the rela-
tive distribution of the sources
of enegy. Water power, which in
1916 accounted for twenty-five per
cent of the total output of energy,
has risen to thirty-ine per cent,
while the share of coal has drop
ped to seventeen per cent and
wood fuel from over fifty per cent
to only fourteen per cent. At the
same time oil has risen from elev-
en- to thirty-eight per cent.
The relative share of oil in
Sweden's overall imports has
shown a gradual increase during
