...determined by the period figure skaters can leap and whirl without falling on their exhausted faces. Although Henie has enriched her repertory with ice dances such as her Pavlova-inspired "Dying Swan," her standbys are those of other figure skaters: the Lutze jump; Jackson Haynes (a sit spin); Axel-Paulsen (a one-and-a-half jump ending on the other skate); camel spin (on one foot); double Salchow (a double jump from the inside edge of one skate to the inside edge of the other...

Attached to her dress, Sonja Henje had a rabbit's foot which she did not need. Her performance-a Paulsen, a spreadeagle, a Lutz jump, a Jackson Haynes spin, a backward sweep to the finish-was less original than polished and assured, but it caused 8,000 spectators (one of whom paid a speculator $60 for two tickets) to agree with the judges when she won the championship...
