Nivzi gpVei nment decreed that “because the games

1 is: the k ish that spectators wear Isports clothes and
n<(t ilnitfbims.’’ This was regarded as a move to

ifi turn!received the biggest hand from the pro-Nazi
' emblage. i; f .4 _ • ■ .
Austria’s patriotic Fatherland Front charged
erniany with making a political demonstration out
the games. Leaders in the'organization said that
ustrian youths who crossed the border to see or to
aiticipate in the events were subjected to Nazi
ropagar.da. . ' I ' ' •,
i Even the fact that the Austrian team j received
sin uhusual amount ;of applause, one leader said,
“was not a demonstration of affection for Austria,
fjut propaganda for Anschluss (Pnion with Ger-
many).” Austrian officials then begah restricting
Visas for persons intending to visit the;games,
America’s hockey team drew many bojos. Ger
man fans disliked the aggressive,' slashing style of
day typpkl of American hockey.
The U. S. bobsledders threatened' to withdraw
1 ronythe games because of a c t ontrovei4y oVef their
i led runners. The Americans were denied permission
o make a trial run When calipers disclosed their
runners were only seven millimeters thick compared
vith the 12 millimeters or more for sleds of other
nations.
Orjly after J. Hubert Stevens, American bob
aptain, threatened to take his, squad jhome on the
lextj boat, was the U. S. team permitted tq use its
->wn bobs, provided the sharp runners did not damage

As it turned out, Ivan Brown and A lab Wash-
bond won the two-man bob championship for Ameri-
iea’s only title at the winter games.
On the closing day of the games, two persons
jwere injured, several fainted and a number were
bruised in a nulling erdwd of iJO,000 compelled to,
(remain in.the ski stadium for riiore than two hours
until Hitler, and other Nazi officials had left. !
Nazi in uniform locked arms and kept the crowd
in the seats or narrow passageways. Frequently they
• began a concerted push against the throng. Many
(fans were standing ankle deep in-mud.
Streets were guarded by the elite guard during
•Hitler's arrival and departure on the final day. He
(was accompanied by Herman Wilhelm Goei'ing and,
Paul Joseph Goebhels, his two chilef aides.
Just before the final mob scene, loud speakers!
blared out the German winners and many stood with
their arms outstretched in the Nkzi salute.
That was all most of the onlookers saw of the j
'games that day. . ,,
DON. ENG ELK ING
Seeking their first Conference
victory of the season the Texas
Aggie Gage Squad journeys to the
forty atTes for a| game With the
all victorious and ' highly touted
University of Texas Longhqrns.
The contest will start at 8 o’clock
Saturday night in Gregory Gym.
Relying on their speed and de
ception,! the Steel’s use a fast
breaking attack that ledves their
opponents flat-footed and giv.es
their three “mighty mice”: (Slater
Martin, A1 Madsen and Chick Zom-
lefer) numerous chances to rack-
up the points. Mfidsep, Martin and
Zomlelor, all members of TU’s
staking quintet, are! all five-foot
ten-inches or under.! Martin, the
highest Scorer olj the three, and
Madsen, a two-time All-Crtnfeie»ce
performer, were starters oh last
years team. Zomlejfer, a Steer base
ball star, is taking his first try
at college basketball.
Rounding out the Texas quintet
is John Langdon spefdot seven-
inch center and Tom Hamilton six-
loot three-inch forward, Who is at
tempting to fill the shoes of AH-
Ailjerican John Hargis. Both Ham
ilton arid Zomlefer also were start
ers on the Longhorn baseball team
last spring; Hamilton at first base
and Zomlefer at Shortstop.
With a gaudy record of 12 wins
against only one defeat so .fair
this season the Steers are confident
that they are in for another good
year in basketball. The lone Texas
loss was a one pointer to Oklahoma
A&AI.
Charged with the job oj! stopping
the defending Southwest Confer
ence champions, Aggie Coach Mar
