Running northward, the time was 110.49, or 37.S2 seconds for the distance. That southbound trip was man's fnstest water speed In history, Wood said.

Their figure were faster than those of the electrical timing device recognized by the speedboat association as official. They timed themselves over the measured mile In 30.8 seconds.

"I am happy we broke the record but I am not completely satisfied," Wood said after the trials. "I believe Miss America IX will travel at least a mile an hour faster. We will try for a new record within a few days." He hopes to change the hull somewhat so that It will not ride as high on the water as It did today. BRITISH PILOT TO TRY AGAIN LONDON. Jan.

Great care is taken in the construction of the bob-sleds. They are built of steel and wood and weigh approximately 500 pounds.

A four-man bob team is composed of a steersman, a brakesman and winter sports, only the winning teams ln the bob race receive point credits. No points are awarded to any other team but the winners of the championships.

The bob sled races are the only sport on the program where the participants do not use their own muscles to attain speed. It probably has no real place on the Olympic program, but it serves its purpose it is the spectacular ballyhoo of the third Olympic winter games. Read the Classified.
