Then I just couldn't do it all; it was too much: writing the paper, covering the courts, delivering the paper, so I finally hired a few fellows to take care of the distribution for me.

They wedeled down the 1,200-ft. slope or slammed through the slalom course. A few even tried the 30-meter jump, which later this month will be used by Olympic hopefuls.

After that, a poor 45-ft. Hin. shotput ("That really depressed me") and a disappointing 6-ft. 4¾-in. high jump dropped him to second behind East Germany's Joachim Kirst. Next came...
