Stork Takes Advantage
Of Friday the 13—
Baby Born in Back Seat
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., UP) — A
jet-(propelled stork took advan
tage of a Friday the 13th coin
cidence, and that’s why Linda
Lou Rogers’ first squawl came
from the bade seat of a car.
Jesse Lee Rogers, 30, told it
this way:
He and his wife were on their
way to a hospital when “we knew
it was going to be too late.
“I looked at the houses, hunting
for wires that would tell me a
telephone was there.”
He found such a house and
pulled into the driveway.
The coincidence: Mrs. E. A.
Williamson lives there and she ar
rived home from work just as
Rogers drove up.
A practical nurse, Mrs. Wil
liamson pitched in and delivered
Linda Lou in the back seat of the
car. Mother and daughter were
doing fine at General Hospital
soon afterwards.

U.S. Olympic Ski
Team Challenges
Rest of World
LAKE PLACID, N.Y., UB—•'The
United States Olympic ski jump
ing team broke camp Saturday
and Coach Olav Ulland hurled a
bold challenge at the rest of <the
world.
“No one is going to jump far
ther than our boys,” he said as the
team set out on the first leg of its
journey to Cortina D’Ampedza,
Italy, where the games start on
Jan. 26. “They are strong and
have the spirit. If we get beaten
it won’t toe because we can’t make
the distance.”
Ulland, a 45-year-old Seattle
sporting goods dealer who was a
member of the famed Kongsberg
Ski Club of Norway that domin
ated international jumping for
two decades, cautioned, however,
that the American team does have
problems.
“The judges score about 50 per
cent on distance and 50 percent
on form,” he pointed out. “The
European judges are very tough
on landings and really penalize
you if you’re below par.
“That scares me just a little
because in the United States the
judges are lenient on landings
and as a result the boys don’t
concentrate on them.”
Ulland would like to hide his
optimism, but he can’t.
“It would be silly for me to
make any prediction on the out
come,” he said, “tout I’m sure we
will surprise a lot of people. Wait
till those Europeans get a load of
Art Devlin if he keeps up his
present form.”
Devlin is 33. Some ages of oth
ers on the team are 18, 19, 22, 25.
For the record, the highest an
American ever has finished in the
Olympics was fifth—in 1932 and
1946.
