With an Olympic record time of four minutes 24.79 seconds, she won the 3,000 meter race, the last of the women’s titles to be decided. Teammate Karin Enke, the earlier winner of two gold medals at the 1,000 and 1,500 meters, in which Schoene placed second, took the silver medal. Enke put in a powerful last lap, but with 4:26.33 had to be content with her second silver of the Games. Teammate Ghrista Rothenburger had edged Enke out for the gold in the 500m. East Germany completed a sweep of all gold and silver medals in the women’s speed skating events. It was the first time any country had swept that sector since 1964, when the So viet Union’s Lydia Skoblikova won all the events. ment, was happy Schoene had at last won a gold. She said: “I wanted to win my third gold here, but was glad I lost it to Andrea.” Mary Docter of Wis., finished sixth. Madison, Enke, who had looked good enough before the Games to match Skoblikova’s achieve- To make it a total East Ger man triumph, Gabi Schoen- brunn, the world record holder, collected the 3,000 meter bronze in 4:33.13, off her 4:21.70 set at the high altitude Medeo track in the Soviet Union last year. The Olympic record, which both Schoene and Enke smashed, was 4:32.13 set by Norway’s Bjoerg Eva Jen sen at Lake Placid, N.Y., in 1980. She was pushed back into seventh place here with 4:36.28. SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia — A rare mishap to world champion Gerry Sorensen of Ganada com bined with fog Wednesday to force a second postponement of the Women’s Olympic downhill and throw the Alpine competi tion into utter chaos and angry recriminations. The much-delayed Alpine races were already in sufficient confusion from last week’s snowstorms when Sorensen, one of the strongest skiers rac ing and a highly-consistent fin isher, lost a ski at a dangerous and invisible bump on the course. She was the ninth of the 32 competitors to race, but the in cident provoked a delay to re pair the course, a complete res tart and, when bad weather prevented that, a postponement of the race. The race jury and team cap tains met later and decided to hold both the women’s downhill and the thrice-postponed men’s downhill on Thursday, on mountains almost 20 miles apart, in an increasingly desper ate attempt to complete the Al pine program before the Games end Sunday. The Swiss, whose Michela Figini was leading when the race was halted, and other teams were furious with yet an other delay, arguing that the race should merely be inter rupted while the course was more properly prepared. The Canadians simply re quested a second run for Soren sen, but the jury — headed by American Hank Tauber — quickly ordered a complete res tart. As fog descended even fur ther down Mount Jahorina, French Coach Sylvain Dao- Lena said conditions were so dangerous he would not allow his three racers to compete at the re-start time, two hours af ter its original scheduled start. Eventually, officials decided racing was impossible — partic ularly at the fog-shrouded bend where Sorensen crashed — and called off the downhill for the day. Originally scheduled for last Saturday but put back because of snowstorms, conditions seemed sufficiently good at noon Wednesday to hold the race. Six forerunners went down the track, followed by six of the lower-ranked skiers to cut a line for the more-favored and France’s Caroline.^ 1 n the meantime! with start number thretl same bump as Vales™ the same result.Thebiji her right ski broke openl struggled to regainconitj she lost the ski. “My immediate read that everything was{ the 25-year-old skier.' was a hole in tbe cornel good it released. racers.

America buys Swiss bobsle United Press International ht&A? yl-rbsiohal director, jmK- SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia — United States’ chances in the Olympic 4-man bobsled compe tition, due to start Friday, re ceived a big boost Tuesday with the acquisition of reserve Swiss driver Hans Hiltebrand’s sled. Hiltebrand, used the sled Tuesday to record the fastest time of the four 4-man training runs on the Trebevic bob-luge run. However, Hiltebrand trained only as part of the reserve crew on the Swiss team. The transaction that brought the sled into U.S. team posses sion was made through an in termediary, and Hiltebrand, sole owner and designer of the sled, reportedly received $ 10,000 in the deal. The No. 1 United States team piloted by JeffJost, Burke, N.Y. will use the sled in Wednesday’s two training runs and in the competition. “It is much faster off the start than our sled,” said Yost, who along with his crew practiced starts with the sled after Tues day’s third training run was cancelled. “It is aerodynami- cally clean. We just have to get familiar with it before we race it.” Although Camichdi set, he said he uni i 1 liltebrand’s decision tui “It was a good busi I G.unichel added. “HI While the United States team was ecstatic over its acquisition, Swiss crew Coach Werner Cam- ichel expressed displeasure. knew he was not ^ pete here and he plar sign and build a nek next year.

Robertson gave Arkansas the lead with 15:06 left in the game after the Razorbacks trailed the Horned Frogs for more than 10 minutes. He later responded with eight straight points to boost the Arkansas lead to 49- 38. Arkansas, which upset top- ranked North Carolina on Sun day, improved to 20-4 overall and 10-1 in the SWC to remain a game behind fourth-ranked Houston. TCU dropped to 9-14 overall and 2-10 in the confer ence. Joe Kleine had nine points for the Razorbacks and eight re bounds, which tied him with Robertson for rebounding hon ors. Tracy Mitchell paced the Horned Frog bombers with 17 points, while Dennis Nutt added 14. Arkansas led by as many as five points on three occasions in the first half, but TCU tied the score at 15-all with 9:22 left on a drive by Mitchell. The Horned Frogs then reeled off six un answered points for a 21-15 lead with 6:44 left. Arkansas had a chance to take the halftime lead as Rob ertson went in for an uncon tested stuff. But Keenan De- Bose was called for a personal foul in the backcourt and Mitchell hit both TCU free throws for a 28-25 halftime ad vantage. Sooner Or Later You’ll Get Responsibility like This.
