MONROE EVENING TIMES, MONROE, WISCONSIN, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2,, 1948 PAGE FIVE Norway Continues To Cling to Lead in Winter Olympics Dominate Speed Skating Contests; Figure Skating Next By Bill Macklin St. Moritz, Switzerland (JP) Norway continued its dominance of speed skating events in the tifth winter Olympics today when Sverre Farstad, one of the country's best all-around athletes, won the 1,500 meter mile) championship in the record time of two minutes, 17.6 seconds. The United States team, which had expected to rate high in this test, had to be content with sixth place won by John Werket of Minneapolis in 2:20.2. It was faster than he had ever skated the distance before. Two others cracked the old Olympic record of 2:19.2 set by Charles Mathisen of Norway in 1936.

Ake Seyffarth of Sweden finished second in 2:18.1 and Odd Lundberg, Norwegian railway employe, was third with 2:18.9. Fourth place went to Lauri Parkkinen of Finland in 2:19.6 and fifth to Gustav Jansson of Sweden in 2:20. Norway's Reidar Liaklev won the 5,000 meter (3 mile speed skating event yesterday after Finn Helgesen of Oslo had set a new Olympic record in taking the '500-meter the day before. The men's opening phase of the and women's figure skating championships heads the fourth day program of the fifth, winter Olympics today. Gil Dodos Sets New Indoor Mark Of 4:05.3 for Mile New York (JP) If Gilbert Dodds, the Boston Athletic association's high geared miler, continues the record-shattering pace he has cut out for himself at the age of 29, the United States may have a chance against the Swedes in the Olympic 1,500 meters this year after all.

Dodds showed 15,000 screaming fans in Madison Square garden Saturday night that he is in for his greatest year by winning the Wanamaker mile at the Millrose games in 4:05.3, the fastest competitive time for the distance ever run by an American. Although it was only his second start this season, galloping Gilbert wiped out his own world indoor record of 4:06.4, set in the Bankers mile at the Chicago relays in 1944, and tied the American outdoor record established by Gunder Haegg of Sweden at Harvard in 1943.
