Most calamitous of the accidents was last week's in which four members of the German squad, practicing on their round-runnered Deutschland II, jumped the slide at Shady Corner, going 65 m.p.h., and plunged into an 85-ft. gully. Steersman Fritz Grau, 37-year-old Berlin radio manufacturer, and his crew of three were hospitalized for sprained backs, concussions, lacerations, fractured skulls, broken wrists and shoulders...
