If. S. Wins Winter Olympics : World Marks Broken in Shot Put and High Jump
LOSES AT HOCKEY
TO CANADA BY TIE
Finn Skiers Spring Upset in
Marathon by Placing First
and Second.
BY EDWARD J. NEIL.
Associated Press Sports Writer.
AKE PLACID. N. Y.. February
13 —The 1932 Winter Olym
pic games came officially to
an end this evening with
Canada winning a bitter final
day fight for the hockey cham
pionship, two Finns unexpectedly
piling home through a blizzard to
take first and second places in
the 50-kilometer cross-country
ski marathon and the United
States leading all in the unof
ficial total score with 83 points,
points.
It took the flashy Canadians, enter
ing the final contest without a defeat
in the round-robin series of 12 games
with the United States. Germany and
Poland, three full overtime periods to
stave off the bid of the United States
college and club stars, finishing in a
2-2 tie. A crowd of 5.000 jammed
every bit of available space in the
Olvmpic indoor arena.
The tie was all Canada needed to
gain the third straight Olympic hockey
title with 11 points, two more than
the United States gathered in beating
all but Canada. In the fastest game
of the series today, just as in the open
ing match February 4, the Canadians
came from behind to tie just before
the end of the regulation game. But
this time instead of going out to score
the winning goal in the overtime, the
Canadians were content to hold the
aggressive Americans scoreless through
the 30 minutes of extra play.
Fnnish Skiers Ama|.
The biggest surprise of the closing
day came in the 50-kilometer ski
marathon. a backbreaking grind
through the thick falling snow that
overnight replaced the Springlike,
temperatures of yesterday and forced
postponement of the four-man bob
sled championship until tomorrow. To
night the deadly slide on Mount Van
Hovenberg again was in fine condition,
with a three-inch layer of snow on
a solid ice base, fast as it has ever
been, for the assault of the daredevils
of five nations tomorrow.
The amazing Finns were \eli Saari
nen who took first place and the
Olympic title from Sven Uttertrom of
Sweden, defending champion, and
Vatno Liikkanen. who followed his
countryman across the finish line 20
seconds behind, after dogging the rear
tips of his skis through the exhausting
31-mile grind. Saarinen finished the
two-lap course, on which 150 w’orK
men piled snow all last nignt, in 4
hours 28 minutes flat.

Unofficially there was no question
that over the course of the games the
United States, with four individual

two-man bob sled triumph, dominated

With Winter back in championship
form todav. enough snow falling and
enough cold to take care of another
full set of Olympics, the 25,000 visitors
to Lake Placid sought to stay Indoors
for their competition and nearly broke
down the indoor arena in an effort to

tangle in a desperate battle.

• i In" a way it was an even more fitting
way of ending the games than indoors
in the arena today and outdoors on
the ski trails, miles from the sight of
visiting eyes.
For days the bobsleds, careening down
the side of Mount Van Hoevenberg, in an
ice chute that bends and curves through
rocks and trees, have been the lure that
held the incoming throngs in town, de

Already six Germans have crashed on

BY MAUD FIVE
Old Liners Display Sensa

by 46-to-18 Count.
MARYLAND'S basket ball team
rose to the heights last night
as it scored a notable 46-to-18
triumph over University of
Virginia before 2.500 fans in Ritchie

enth Southern Conference victory for
Maryland, defending champion, in as

undoubtedly flashed their best form
since winning the crown last Winter.
At times Maryland's passing, dribbling
and basket-sniping was almost perfec
tion and left the crowd, well accus
tomed to fine Old Line exhibitions,
breathless and astonished.
Bill Thomas. Virginia guard, scored
on the first shot of the game after 15
seconds on a long looper. but Bucky
Buscher. who displayed his best form
in Maryland toggery last night, soon
tied the count with a two-pointer
under the basket. Sid Young again
placed the Cavaliers in front at 4—2
on a fine running toss. Vincent and
Ronkin, however, tied the score at 4-all
on foul tosses.
The Old Liners went on a scoring
rampage to break the deadlock and
after 10 minutes were in the van. never
to be headed, at 17 to 4 Buscher and
Berger led the attack during this pe
riod. Virginia rallied near the close
of the half to cut Maryland's advantage
to 19 to 14 at the intermission.
Rufus Vincent. Maryland's big and
clever center, took the lead in the sec- j
ond-half rush in running up the Old ;
Liners' total. He scored 13 of the 27
points registered.
The Cavaliers were held to a lone |
court goal an da pair of fouls in the j
last 20 minutes of play.
Vincent with 16 and Berger with 13 I

ON THE SIDE LINES
With the Sports Editor
-By DENMAN THOMPSON
IT would seem that in the recent
purchase from the Bloomington
Three-I League club of Catcher
Howard Maple the Nationals
have obtained considerably more of
an athlete than was suspected.
Maple, we are informed by Earl
Goodwin and Dick O'Connell, both
products of the Pacific Coast, but
now residents of the Capital, is the
self same chap who created such a
■ furore in foot ball as a member of
the Oregon State College team Just
a few years ago.
Anent the rookie receiver, Good
win, now secretary to Representative
Charles H. Martin of Oregon. wTites:
"If I recall this Is none other than
the famous Howard Maples of Oregon
State College, Corvallis, Oreg. A couple
of years ago, if you remember, O. S. C.
came East and played the N. Y. U
Violets in New York. The Oregon
ians trimmed the Violets out of a
national foot ball title and it was
Quarterback Maples who got the big
cheer from the Eastern critics.
"A teammate, gridiron, of Maple
was Wes Schulmerich, now with the
Boston National League club. They
played together at O. S. C. for a
couple of years at least. Wes was a
sensational plunging fullback. Ma
ples, as was Schulmerich, was a star
base ball player at O. S. C. and after
college went to the Three-I League.
It seems to me Maples played a year
of pro foot ball, but gave it up in
preference to base ball as a career.
He's a powerfully built fellow."
Dick O'Connell, now a l3w student
and coach of boxing at Columbus
University here, whose leather push
ing pupils met the Springfield Col
lege team last night, has vivid im
pressions of Maple's foot ball prowess,
gained through playing against him
while a member of Riggs College
eleven of California, and asserts that
Maple then was an even better base
ball plaver than a gridironer.
At the time Maple was purchased
President Griffith admitted he knew
little about him, save that he now is
connected in some capacity with
Willamette University at Salem,
Oreg., was "about 21 years old,” and
had only a year's professional sea
soning. But unless Maple is twins it
appears GrifT got a bum steer re
garding the recruit's age as well as
experience, for he already has had
one big league inspection, with the
Chicago White Sox in 1929, after
coming out of Oregon State.
Consistent in His Hitting.
Maple promptly was shifted to
Springfield of the Three-I League,
where he hit .313 in 65 games, and
then was shifted to Bloomington of
the same circuit. There he batted
.290 in 104 games in 1930 and last
season achieved .288 in 99 games,
while ranking second among the
catchers of the circuit in fielding
with a percentage of .989.
Maple was highly recommended
last season, but Griff shied at the
price asked for him. Then when
Bloomington was dropped from the
Three-I League to make it a six
club circuit, the club was left with a
bunch of players who wondered
where they could get jobs. Faced
with the necessity of disposing of its
reservists or having them declared
free agents, Bloomington reduced its
demands and the sale to Washington
followed.
With Roy Spencer the only catcher
of established ability now on the
Washington raster. Maple is con
fronted with an excellent opportunity
of winning the job of understudy in
competition with Clif Bolton. The
fact that he has had three years of
steady work, even though with a
loop of low classification, should
further his cause, and his college
activities won't hurt any, although
varsity fame is no guarantee of suc
cess in big league base ball, as any
number of campus heroes have found
out.
Kocsis Must Be Good.
ACCORDING to Jimmie Bronson,
veteran boxfight manager and
promoter, fight fans who trek to
Portner's for the Alexandria Day
Nursery show Tuesday night wrill see
a unique character in his boy. Antol
Kocsis. who mixes with Billy Landers
in the feature go.
"Kocsis is an unusual figure, as
fistic luminaries go." asserts Bron
son. "Was one of Europe's most
celebrated soccer players and weighs
but 116. He grabbed great gobs of
glory, and cups and medals, too, in
continental marathons and was an
outstanding figure on track and field.
As an amateur. Tonv punched his
way to more than 200 fistic victories
and still is one of the most famous
of European figure skating cham
pions.”
After citing that Kocsis is the only
fighter ever to have been nationally
honored for a fistic feat, having been
personally decorated by the regent
of Hungary for punching his way to
the flyweight championship in the
Olympics at Amsterdam in 1928.
Bronson adds:
“And. strange to relate, he can
fight, too. He Is without question
the most colorful little fellow since
Villa's time. Rough and tough, he
Is the busiest little Individual I've
ever seen in action.”
We gather from this that Bron
son. strange as It may seem, thinks
prettv well of the scrapper he is
steering. Maybe Landers ought to
be tipped off.

Baltimore U. Defeated, 72-21,
Burgess Leading Attack
With 24 Points.
—
George Washingtons un

It* string of victories to 11
last night by swamping Balti
more University on the Colonial court
and at the same time hung up a sea
son’s record score for Washington
colleges. The count was 72 to 21.
A steady stream of Colonial points
was accelerated from time to time by
the brilliant shooting of Forrest
Burgess, key man of the attack through
most of the game, who scored seven
field goals and gathered 10 points in
13 shots from the foul line.
Wick Parrack, his running mate at
forward, was shaken up severely In a
first-half spill and withheld from the
second, but was the second high-polnt
getter, with 12.
tsesiaes playing a nrsi-raw game at
guard, Zahn found the cords for five
field goals.
Although the game was In the bag
from the start, the Colonials main
tained a lively pace all the way and
few scoring opportunities were pre
sented the visitors, who nevertheless
kept trying. They made many
desperate heaves from near midcourt.
Occasionally Glassman and Kelly man
aged to elude the close-guarding
Colonials, and Glassman snaked in
four double-deckers and his fellow
forward three. McCormick, with one,
was the only other Baltimorean to
score from the field.
A capacity gallery was without a thrill,
but It got a large laugh when Referee
Jack Simpson was bumped sprawling
in a chaotic skirmish.
George Washington's clean slate will
be threatened tomorrow night when it
meets Duquesne In Pittsburgh Feb
ruary 26 they will be up against it
again in a battle with St. John’s In

GLASGOW. February 13.—A con
