Pistol Pete Misfires,
Vols Trounce LSU
By VITO STELLINO
UPI Sports Writer
Pistol Pete finally misfired
Monday night.
But it was Tennessee’s
tenacious defensive game which
caused the jamming.
Tennessee held LSU’s herald

just three times. His high is 58
against Mississippi State.
Bill Justus led the fourth
ranked Vols with 29 points while
seven-foot center Tom Boerwln

start in the first half, building a
nine point lead.
Ethel Kite came back in the
second half and took a two po

a three point play to put the Be
ars on top, 71-70 with 11 seconds
to play.
Ethel Kite quickly fought their
way down court and with two se

field goal to win, 72-71.
Parks was high scorer with
38. Thomas Berry scored 12.

37 Nations Gather
For Winter Olympics
By MIKE HUGHES
GRENOBLE, France (UPD—
It was post time today for the
athletes of 37 nations gathered
for the 10th Winter Olympic
Games.
For a few it was the
culmination of four years hard
work which could lead to a gold
medal and a fat professional
contract, while for others the
thrill of having competed will
suffice.
The games end Feb. 18 and in
the ensuing days medals will be
at stake in alpine and nordic
skiing, bobsled, ice hockey,
figure and speed skating.
Today’s program was devoted
to the spectacular opening
ceremony, at which Chief of
State Gen. Charles de Gaulle
declared the games open. Three

Jones County, Willingham, R.
E. Lee and Dublin.
Spalding’s first games comes
two-time world champion.
The men’s skating team,
headed by national champion
Tim Wood, 19, of Detroit, Mich.,
is not considered strong enough
to get a gold medal, but Wood
or fellow Detroit skater Gary
Visconti, 22, could possibly get a
silver or a bronze.
Skiers Not Favored
In the glamour alpine skiing
events the young and relatively
inexperienced U.S. ski squad is
not among the favorites though
skiing experts rank them strong
and with plenty of promise.
“We are not coming into

A capacity crowd of 65,000

The games got on the road
after the threat of a possible

these events as favorites,” Coach
Bob Beattie said when he
arrived with his team at
Chamrousse last week. “We are
loose and relaxed and that
might be to our advantage.”
Os the U.S. men the best hope
lies with Billy Kidd, 24, of
Stowe, Vt., who won a silver
medal in slalom at the last
Olympics in Innsbruck in 1964.
Though Kidd was out of
competition with a broken leg
all of last season, he has shown
great promise in pre-Olympic
competition.
Teammate Jim Heuga, 25, of
Tahoe City, Calif., slalom
bronze medal winner at Inn
sbruck, also could pull through,
though to date he has not been
in top form.
Girls Place Well
The girls’ squad is the
unknown factor. They have
shown greath depth this season.
While not winning in major
international meets they twice
placed four or five of the team
in the top ten.
Best hopes among the girls
are its slalom specialists 16-
year-old Judy nagel, of Enum
claw, Wash., 18-year-old Kiki
Kutter, of Bend, Ore. and 21-
year-old Rosie Fortna, of
Warren, Vt.
The U.S. bobsled teams don’t
appear to stand much chance
against the strong Romanian,
Italian and British entries'
However the number one two
man sled of Paul Lamey, 29, of
Manchester, N.H., and Robert
Huscher, 30, of Keeseville, N.Y.,
have shown some promise in
training at Alpe Dheuz and in
one practice run even managed
to beat all the other 21 teams
racing.
Coach Murray Williamson
said his ice hockey squad had a
good chance as anyone to win
the gold medal, but experts
agreed the Soviet Union,
reigning world and Olympic
champions, should regain their
title easily.
Chargers Win
In Senior Loop
The Chargers defeated the
Road Runners, 66-26, Monday
night in the Senior Basketball
League.
Tommy Campbell scored 27
points for the Chargers. Tommy
Eidson made 16. Thomas Thurs
ton scored eight for the Road
Runners and Tim Kent made
seven.
FIS President Marc Hodler of
Switzerland said his council had
overruled his recommendation
to remove brand names, while
he said “possibly, possibly”
when asked whether alpine
events would be removed from
the program.
German Competitor Out
In other controversial action
on the penultimate day of the
games, the FIS ruled against
East Germany’s Ralph Poeh
land competing for West
Germany. He defected last
month, via Switzerland, and
was one of the favorites for the
nordic combined.
It was thought the 21-year-old
Poehland might be invited to
compete as an individual under
the patronage of the IOC, but
this was also ruled out.
The U.S. was off to a bad
start as downhill hope Robin
Morning of Santa Monica,
Calif., broke her right leg in a
training accident on a course
lashed by winds of near gale
force.
Three other girls also came to
grief on the slopes, including
Wendy Allen of San Pedro,
Calif., who suffered a badly cut
eye when she crashed into a
