LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) -
They had worked for months on
a skating routine the Olympic
Fieldhouse crowd would never
see. As thousands waited for
Tai Babilonia and Randy
Gardner to begin, the pair
tearfully left the rink — taking
with them America's hopes for a
first-ever gold medal in pairs
competition.
"In my opinion, he couldn’t
perform." said coach John
Nicks of his decision to with-
draw the young California pair
from the short program — and
therefore the competition —
Friday night after Randy fell
three times in the warmup
session immediately preceeding
the event.
Gardner had putted a groin
muscle in his left thigh prac-
ticing a double axel jump in Los
Angeles two weeks ago, ac-
cording to U.S. team physician
Anthony Daly. The 19-year-old
skater again injured his groin,
more seriously, just 48 hours
ago in a late-night practice
session here.
"There was no option," Nicks
said. "The primary decision
was the fact that he could have
hurt himself and her, too."

Dr J didn't complain. But it
wasn’t basketball the way he
had been trained to play it,
making things happen as a
team. He still led the club in

disagreement as to just how

Fifth-ranked Wildcats' 91-73
rout of Vanderbilt Friday night.
"I think it was Sam's best
game," Coach Joe B. Hall said
after the 7-foot-1 rookie scored
20 points, grabbed nine
rebounds and blocked six shots.
"I played pretty well, but I
wouldn’t say it was my best
game," said Bowie.
For another opinion, lend an
ear to Vanderbilt Coach Richard
Schmidt.
“I think Kentucky is the best
team in the Southeastern
Conference and that with Bowie
playing the way he is they have
a very good chance to win the
national championship."
The Wildcats were the only
member of The Associated
270
confrontation of the Winter
Olympics."
Rodnina and Zaitsev easily
gained a big lead after the
short program, worth about 30
percent of the total, winning
first place votes from all nine
judges for a total of nine or-

were second and compatriots
Marina Pestova and Stanislav
