US Wins Two Olympic Titles
St. Moritz, Feb. 5-(UP)-Richard Button, the slim ice artist from Englewood, N.J., and little Mrs. Gretchen Fraser, a 28-year-old house wife from Vancouver, Wash., won the first gold medals for the United States in the fifth winter olympic games today.

Kansas football fans were disappointed, and to a large extent shocked, by the departure of George Sauer for Annapolis, home of the midshipmen of the Navy. It's bad enough for Sauer to pull out, but he takes two able assistants with him, Vic Bradford and Bob Ingalls.
The athletic department and University officials are angered, perhaps justifiably so, by Sauer's unannounced departure. Sauer is an excellent coach, and local fans were counting on his ability to weld replacements into the Orange Bowl squad's holes and turn out a third conference champion.
Sauer leaves plenty of top-flight material for his successor—if a top-flight successor can be found in time. It will be no easy task to find an adequate replacement to fill his shoes. It does seem that Sauer left K.U. holding the well-known sack.
Of course, Coach Sauer was facing an opportunity that may never come again. In spite of its bowl appearance, K.U. still is not one of the country's "name" teams. The Jayhawkers need a few more years out of the grid cellar to become among the select.
And, Mr. Sauer, don't forget to return the luggage that was given to you at the football banquet with the express stipulation that you wouldn't use it to leave Lawrence.
Sauer's chance to graduate to a better (supposedly) salary and a brighter position in the public spotlight are not to be overlooked. From all angles, the job at the Naval Academy a peers to be a step upward
Coach Bobby Dodd of the Orange Bowl winner, Georgia Tech, says he is glad to see Sauer at the Navy helm. Although the Engineers don't meet Navy this season, Dodd can look forward to future clashes with Sauer if he stays at Annapolis.
Dodd stated that he was sure that Saver would be a success at the Navy school, although he is expecting no championship teams with the expected material. Navy, Dodd says, can expect no such material as it had a few years ago for a long time, if ever.
We don't blame George Sauer for going to the Naval Academy to coach the Navy; we do blame him for breaking a contract which he admitted met all his stipulations—but then, how else could he take advantage of the opportunity.

music arranged by his trainer, the 18-year-old Button gave a magnificent performance in the free skating events to win the second championship of the day for America.
Before his performance, Mrs. Fraser had become the first American woman in history to win an Olympic gold medal in skiing when she won the women's slalom.
Button had piled up a commanding lead in the compulsory figure skating Monday and he added to it today in the free skating competition.
The first places won by Button and Mrs. Fraser gave the U.S. the best day any nation has yet had in the games, for Americans finished second and fourth in the Cresta (one-man) bobsledding.
Jack Heaton of New Haven, Conn,
took second in the event, and Lee Martin,
a young army corporal from Kalsipse, Mont., was fourth.
