Russia's Skaters | Almost Dominate Gold Medal Wins gold medals in pairs figure skating and women's slalom skiing, and was 10th with 16 points in 1956 when it didn't win a gold medal. INNSBRUCK, Austria (CP)-- The United States, in winning the men's 500-metre speed-skat- * ing championship, has stolen an gold medal from the vate preserve of the Soviet ion, But the Russians aren't feel- ing the pinch in the over-all pic- ture at the Winter Olympic es, 've already won seven gold medals to their out- at Squaw Valley, Calif., in and they have one more championship in their trophy bag than they won in their first erack at the Winter Olympics in 1056. And they're a safe bet for at Teast a couple more before the Games end Sunday, The Soviets should dominate placings in today's five- etre women's cross-coun- try skiing and they are favored to take the gold in the women's 15-kilometre' relay Friday. STRONG IN SKATING They must be considered, too, in today's 5,000-metre men's speed skating, which Victor Ko- sichin of Russia won in 1960, although Jonny Nilsson of Swe- den is favored, The third final scheduled to- day -- the men's 50-kilometre (30%-mile) cross-country ski race--is to be a run between the 1956 champion Six- ten Jergen of Sweden and Fin- land's Eero Maentyranta, who already has won the 15- and 30- kilometre races. The Soviets also have hopes in the men's 1,500- and 10,000- hockey, where squad was tied for first place with Canada after Tuesday's play in the seven-game, round robin tournament. Each has won four games and lost none, the Russians scoring their latest victory Tuesday by whipping Finland 10-0. Czechoslovakia beat Switzer- fand 5-1 and Sweden downed Germany 10-2 in other cham- pionship play while Canada and the United States were idle. The Czechs and Swedes were tied for third place with 3-1 records. FAVORITE The U.S. upset the Russian favorite in Tuesday's 500-metre skating final as Terry rmott, 24-year-old barber from Essexville, Mich., sped to skates borrowed has only time of 40.1 seconds clipped one-tenth of a second off Gris- chin's Olympic record. Grischin, 32, slipped going into 'the first turn and had -to settle for a second-place tie with teammate Vladimir Orlov and Alv Gjestvang of Norway. Each received a silver medal and no bronze was awarded. Ralf Olin of Calgary, only Ca- nadian entered in the day's fi- nals, was 39th. Russia picked up a gold medal elsewhere Tuesday as world champion Vladimir Mel- anin won the biathlon, an event combining cross-country skiing' and rifle shooting. HITS ALL TARGETS Melanin covered the 20-kil- ometre race in one hour, 20 minutes and 26.8 seconds and hit all 20 targets in four stops for shooting from distances' of 250, 200, 150 and 100 metres. Alexander Pivalov of Russia also hit all 20 targets and took second place with a time of 1:23:42.5, Olav Jordet of Nor- way missed one target, which added two minutes to his time, and left him third in 1:24:38.8. The one-two showing, coupled with a repeat victory in the women's 10-kilometre cross- country skiing, a sensational four gold medals by Siberian school teacher Lidia Skoblikova in the four women's speed- skating finals, and the first So- viet figure-skating triumph in the pairs final, gave Russia seven gold medals in seven days. The total equals the 1960 catch, when three of the gold medals came in each of the men's and women's figure skat- Golfers Greedy? dispute between the Profes-/§ sional Golfers' Association and sponsors of the Phoenix Open has been settled, but the issue that divided them already|sional golfers Tuesday of trying threatens at least one other|to take over the Crosby tourn- tournament, or, more precisely, money, For ment for nis prother, said theito piay in the $50,000 Phoenix Open because it had no contract with the sponsori Phoenix Thunderbirds, The rbirds said they didn't the con- tract. sent by the PGA because it gave the PGA TV rights.

SIX IN 1956 In 1956, before the women's speed-skating events were HOCKEY SCORES STANDINGS added to the program, Russia won six championships--three in men's speed skating, two in cross-country skiing and the hockey gold medal. In unofficial team standings, based on a 10-5-4-3-2-1 scoring system for the first six placings in each final, the Soviet Union has 134% points--far above Ger- many's 61 and France's 52%. In 1956 the Soviet team topp the standings with 121 points to Austria's second-place 78% and in 1960 Russia scored 165% to Sweden's second-best 7144. Canada, with only two bronze medals won in pairs and wom- figure skating here, 11 points for ninth place. Canada was eighth with 32 points in 1960 when it won Poor Refereeing Plus Soft Olympic INNSBRUCK, Austria (CP)--' International Ice Hockey Fed- eration officials heid a series of psc' pagel meetings Tuesday to consider charges of incompe- tent refereeing and soft ice con- ditions in the Winter Olympics hockey tournament. Kaur Hauser of Switzerland, chief referee of the IIHF, it was learned, called all 20 ref- erees on the mat early Tues- day after Canada defeated the United States 86 in a game marred by 14 penalties. Hauser called the meeting af- ter he received a complaint from: Art Potter, president of the Canadian Amateur Hotkey Association. "We aren't crying," Potter said. -- country in Olym- pic agen is in the same boat. The erees are inefficient and unfortunately we have to put up with them," he added. "They don't use their heads.

David Bauer, coach of Canada's team which now has a 40 record in the seven - game round - robin tournament, had "shown admir- able restraint until Monday night when the refereeing be- came too much for him." The Canadians received nine of the 14 penalties and Father Bauer -- the officiating was "incred- ible." Meanwhile, John F. (Bunny) Ahearne, IIHF . president, met with Prof. Friedl Wolfgang, general secretary of the Aus- trian Olympic Organizing Com- mittee, to complain about the ice surface at Olympia Stadium where hockey and figure skat- ing are held. "The figure skaters want soft ice and hard ice is needed for hockey," Ahearne said in an in- terview later. "I simply pointed out that the ITHF interest is in the players and if ice condi- tions aren't satisfactory for hockey we would take neces- sary action." He refused to say what this action would be.
