Great Britain took third place with
30. and the I'nited States was fourth
with :9.
The Norwegians showed splendid
form lu all the events in which .they
competed. They were in admirable
physical condition- and displayed a
treat efficiency in all branches of
winter sports, with absolute su
premacy in the ski events.
The sk! jumping contest has
aroused considerable dissension and
there is keen disappointment, cer
tainly among the Americans, over the
t decision of the jury in placing Anders
Haugen of Minneapolis, the American
national champion, fourth behind
Thams, Bonna and Hang, all Of Nor-
wa y.
Haugen Jumped PartliCKt
Haugen, the American star, led the
field with a Jump of 50 meters, while
Thams and Dona each covered 49 me
tres, und Hang 44'. In reaching
the decision the judges took into ac
count style and action, whereby
Thams was allotted 1 8: JC points, Bon
na 1S:S. Hang 1$ and Haugen 17.91.
General disapproval of thcdeclslun
was voiced by a large section of the
sporting fraternity assembled here,
and Mayor I. en eh of Minneapolis ha?
deelured his intention of tiling a pro
test. It was expected that Haugen
would be ulaced after Thain. whose
I jump 'was perfect, but that ho would
j receive no better than fourth was not
contemplated for a moment, The
jury was composed of a Norwegian,
a Frenchman nd a Czechoslovak.
Later Mayor l.cacb withdrew his
expressed Intention of entering a pro
test against the decision of the judges
In the skl-iumping contest, imurklng
to the Associated Pre correspon
dent: "I do not like the decision at
ail, but, after consideration, I have
decided not to Hie a protest. There
are rules and regulations governing
"Iluugen's form and style were very
poor. He. could not begin to compare
with the three Norwegians nlaced
i ahead of him. The American threw All

j upon distance,
"Von saw what happened a few
minutes after the competition, whfnt

COLLINS FOR WARD IS
WHITE SOX PROPOSAL
Indications Are That Such a Proviso
" Will Knd Present 1
Negotiations
New Tork, Feb. 6. The Yankees'
hope for landing fcddie Collins from
the White Sox suffered a cruel blow
yesterday, when Kd Barrow received
a telegram from Harry Grablutr, sec
retary of the Chicago, club? stating
specifically that ' no dear for Collins
would he considered which did not
include Aaron Ward.
From all appearances this kills the
trade completely. - The White So will
not consider a deal which doesn't in
clude Ward, and the Yanks won't
consider one which does Include him.
The two clubs, therefore, are not
much further apart than the two
poles. The Yanks want Collins with
out giving up Ward, and the white
Sox will not think of giving up Collins
without getting Ward In return.
The only dim hope left for the deal
is that Colonel Jacob Ruppert and
Harrow will persuade Grabiner and
Frank "Chance to take Everett Scott
and Mike McNally in place of Ward.
1 his proposition has not , yet been
made to the Chicagoans. but it prob
ably will be tnado at the American
league meeting in Boston today. . If
the 8ox will consider any alternative
except that of getting Ward, thei
Yankees may do business with them.
