P: The great event of the week was the final in hockey, in which Canada defeated the U. S., 6-1. It was a contest between Canadian team work and American individual stars. In twenty seconds after the play began a |Canadian was sent sprawling. Before two minutes had elapsed an American was laid out by a Canadian's stick. From start to finish the players knocked each other about so that the game was a succession of man-ruled-out-for-two-minutes, and man-retired-for-injuries. The only U. S. goal came when Drury took the puck down the ice through the Canadian team. The Canadian goals came as the result of short, accurate, decisive passes.

P: The 18 kilometre ski race was won by Haug of Norway in 1 hour, 14 minutes, 3 seconds. The U. S. failed to place. Its leading man, Sigurd Overby of St. Paul, came in 20th of 44 entrants. Other Americans finished 31st, 34th, 36th.

P: In ski jumping Thams, Bonna and Haug of Norway were awarded the first three places, with Anders Haugen of Minneapolis, fourth, for America. Haugen's jump of 50 metres was from 1 to 5 1/2 metres longer than that of any of the three Norwegians, but the judges placed them ahead of him on the ground that their form was superior.

P: In fancy skating for women, Mme. Herman Szabo-Plank of Austria won first, with Miss Beatrice Loughan, American, second and Miss Theresa Blanchard of America, fourth.

P: In the fancy skating for couples Miss Blanchard and her partner, Nathaniel W. Niles (tennis player) of Boston scored sixth for the U. S.

P: In the bobsleigh competition the Swiss team won with a time of 5 minutes 45 54-100 seconds in four descents of the 1,444 metre chute--near-ly 40 miles an hour. The British team was second, Belgium and France, third and fourth. The chute was dangerous, and a number of accidents resulted. Broken legs were the chief casualties. The Captain of the British team was among the wounded.

P: Cheering was not one of the official events, but Europeans have taken up the American accompaniment of sport, produced eerie howls.
