...American placed better than fifth in the combined scoring. Ahead of the U.S. entrants were such seasoned stars as Austria's Andreas Molterer, Japan's Chiharu Igaya (now a Dartmouth undergraduate) and France's Adrien Duvillard. Dartmouth Alumni Ralph Miller and Brooks Dodge finished fifth and seventh, and to fill out the eight-man U.S. Olympic team, the committee had to reach far back into the pack.

More than 170 people are moving about in seeming confusion...
