move within one game of the Olympic ice hockey Championship Bill Christian a five foot nine inch tiger from Warroad Minn fired home the winhing goal which kept the stars and stripes at the head of the pa rade with an unsullied record and only Czechoslovakia stand ing between the Yanks and the Olympic hockey title But there were heroes galore in this grim savage game which was more of a combination wrestling match and football game than ice hockey The brother act of Bill and Roger Christian and of Bill and Bob Cleary accounted for the goals and then there was the raging defensive play of blond Rodney Paavola of Hancock Minn and the gutty goal tend ing of Jack McCartan of St Paul It was more than a game Those Yankee youngsters were trying to show the blue and white garbed Russians how free
