First Olympic scandal

SSs i ! E * ^ erman Olympic women disqualified for cheating

By FRANK PUCKETT k. BANNER SPORTS EDITOR •* * The smallest number of schools in more ' than twenty-five years was entered Wednesday for the 1968 Indiana High School Athletic Association basketball tournament and all 488 of them will be glued to the tube or pictureless noise-makers tomorrow morning 5^’ at 8 a.m. when the pairings are made. No exception to the rule, all of the Put1k “ nam County teams will be listening to see S who they come up with in the drawing that starts with sectional tournaments February 19. The pairings are drawn by lot beginning promptly at 8 a.m. EST in the IHSAA offices in the Circle Tower on Monument Circle in Indianapolis. Members of the IHSAA board of control will operate the blind draw in which slips of paper containing the names of the schools will be placed down and shuffled by sectional centers. The first two picked up will play the first game, the next two the second game, and so on. The entries are 25 fewer than the 1967 total of 513 schools. * * • * There’s only one weekend of competition left for high school teams before the state tournament gets underway and most of the local crews made it clear what their intentions are over the past weekend. Going over it lightly . .. Greeneastle w’on the WIC by down-

GRENOBLE, France UPI — The first major scandal of the 1968 Winter Olympics broke today when the International Luge Federation disqualified three East German women for

cheating.

One of the three was Ortrun Enderlein, the defending Olympic champion and the leader after three heats of this year’s competition. Also ousted were Anna Marie Mueller, who was second after today’s third heat, and Angela Knoesel, who was

fourth.

Games officials said the three women had heated the metal runners o n their wood and metal framed sleds before shooting down the 1,000 meter icy course in the Olympics’ most dangerous event. The announcement was made

by Bert Isatitsch, president of the International Luge Federation, who said East German officials exploded in anger when

notified.

“The East German luge officials used foul language," Isatitsch said. “One waved his arms around, shouting and screaming. I simply refused to discuss any more and left." The action followed complaints by other competitors, including “two or three” who said they saw the East Germans warming the runners—before starting today’s run. “A jury member acted immediately," Isatitsch said. “He went to the starting line and put his hands on the runners. They were warm. He told me.” But Miss Enderlein, who had an aggregate time of 2:28.041 after three heats, and the other j

two women were not immediately disqualified. Such action can only come after an event. Applying heat to the luge runners makes them much faster down an icy course. This practice was permitted through the 1964 Olympics, but the federation changed the rules after

those games.

The disqualifications left Erica Lechner of Italy in first j place with a combined time of 2:28.93. Two West German i girls. Christa Schmuck and Angelika Duenbaupt, unofficially were placed second and

third.

Kathy Roberts, 16, of Miles j City, Mont., led the U.S. contingent in 17th place with a combined time of 2:33.60. Earlier in the morning. Toni Gustafsson, an attractive 30-

year-old Swedish mother, became the second double gold medal winner of the Games when she upset the Russians in the woman's five - kilometer

cross country race.

Coach Murray Williamson of the U.S. Olympic hockey team wishes the winter games competition was just starting instead of nearing an end. Williamson’s wishful thinking, a normal reaction, came after his squad finally ended a fourgame losing streak Monday night by walloping hapless West

Germany 8-1.

The win was the first during the games for the Americans, who had lost four and were candidates for eighth and final place among the standings of the world's elite amateurs. Williamson knew all along his

! team would snap out of it. “This is the way they' I should've been playing all the time,” he said. “I knew they could do it. Now I wish we could start the Olympics over.” They can’t—and the United, States has no chance of winning

a medal.

It was a gold medal try for the U.S. squad Monday, though. I ' as a sputtering defense suddeni ly jelled and a lackluster of- ; fense caught fire. Goal tender Pat Rupp of St. Paul. Minn., deserved a shutout on the strength of his performance in the nets. He stopped j 26 shots, but let one by winger Lorenz Funk get by. The U.S. took a 1-0 lead after 3:07 minutes on a screen pass by Don Ross of St. Paul and j were never headed. But it was a four goal burst starting after

10:45 minutes of the second period that wrecked the Ger-

mans.

The U.S. squad can relax now —until Thursday at least when it meets East Germany—and watch the top men knock each other out of the medal running. After one full week of round robin action, Sweden, Czechoslovakia and the powerhouse Soviet Union have won four matches each. Canada, always a medal possibility, has won three and lost one. Now, by luck of schedule, ths giants face each other almost exclusively and a lot of wrecked dreams will be left on the ice over the next 72 hours. The Russians - an awesome, pitiless machine that has scored 36 goals and given up three— face Sweden today to start the

action.

COUNTY STANDINGS AT A GLANCE

three untpatens shooting for perfect slates and the battle for the state crown as wide open as any in recent years. Powerhouse East Chicago Roosevelt, the state’s top-ranked quintet; Oolitic and Holland are all shooting for 20-game winning streaks in their windup games this week. Last year, only Cloverdale and Oakland City reached the four-week state tourney with a perfect record and East Chicago can become the first big-city crew to make it since Columbus

in 1964.

East Chicago’s Rough Riders close their season Thursday at Gary Mann, a winner only five times in 16 games. The two other “untouchables” get their tourney dress rehearsal Friday — Holland at Haubstadt and Oolitic at home against Eastern of Greene

County.

For the great majority of the 488 teams in the state tourney, the regular season ends Friday, although “Big 10” members In-

ning streak Saturday night. It was only Washington’s second loss of the season, inflicted despite big George McGinnis’ 32 points. Such other powers as Columbus, Southport, Hammond Noll, Evansville Reitz and Vincennes

kept rolling along. Columbus, No. 5 and stung at Seymour Friday, bounced back by clobbering Anderson, 105-72, Tom Arnholt setting a school record of 50 points for the winners. Fourth-rated Vincennes romp-
