V. t1 Nick Badaini and Luge: The luge doubles may not be the prettiest sport in the Winter Olympics, even if it does demand the body language lan-guage of the tango and the teamwork of marriage.

Life Insurance Affiliate: United of Omaha LEE ANN MAXWELL 2939 Lucky John Drive Park City, Utah 84060 649-6755 Friends and fans of Roxanne Rox-anne Toly gathered at the Resort Saturday to give her a suitable send-off for the Olympics, but the send-off came a little sooner than expected. A full day's activities had been planned for Roxanne Toly Day, starting with a clinic in the morning and ending with a buffet dinner. But that was before the U.S. Ski Team informed Roxanne her plane for Lake Placid would leave at 3 p.m. That development forced the organizers of Roxanne Toly Day to alter their plans slightly, but most of the activities went as scheduled, although Roxanne missed the evening accolades. Between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., Roxanne and some of her coaches held a ski clinic on the slopes. The chief beneficiaries benefi-ciaries were some wide-eyed visitors from Los Angeles who were only too glad to pay $25 for a lift ticket and the privilege of being taught by a member of the U.S. Ski Team. Roxanne followed the clinic with a demonstration run down a slalom course set up on Clementine largely for the benefit of spectators and photographers. Then, as her time was getting short, a quick ceremony was held at the bcUomof the hill. A bouquet of roses was presented to Roxanne by the members of the Park City Ski Team, and the members of the team gathered around their famous alumnus for some informal photographs. A special plaque was presented pre-sented to Nick Badami, chairman of the board of the Greater Park City Ski Corporation, Corp-oration, for his support of Roxanne Toly Day. The ski corporation donated all lift "Ty" Danco of Cleveland, Ohio, are the number-two squad. The alternate team comprises Jim Mossey of Rochester, N.Y., and Terry Morgan of Saranac Lake, N.Y. A luge sled has no mechanical mechani-cal steering or braking. It is steered by the feet, and by the shifting of weight. Who sits or lies where, is decided mainly by size. The general rule is: the big guy drives, sitting front and top on the four-foot vehicle. The smaller man takes the back seat, with his legs wrapped around the driver. "That makes a lower profile pro-file for the sled," explained U.S. captain and head coach Jim Murray, as he supervised super-vised a training session at the 1,000-meter (six-tenths of a mile) luge track on Mount Van Hoevenberg. tickets, helped to arrange the evening banquet, and promised to match, dollar for dollar, all money raised by the day's activities. A wine and cheese table, courtesy of the Corner Store, was set up at the site of the presentation ceremonies. In spite of her dislike for publicity, Roxanne handled all the attention like a pro, accepting the praise gracefully, grace-fully, posing for endless photographs and answering questions from a Salt Lake City television reporter without with-out batting an eye. Although Roxanne had to be whisked away to the airport at that point, the activities continued with a giant slalom sla-lom on Clementine. The individual winner among the women was Kathy Pope, with Jan Sylvester finishing second and Julie Lawson third. The winner in the men's division was Jim Gaddis, with Ray Marchetta second and Craig Naylor third.

The buffet was arranged by Ralph Garner of Mountain Food Services, with music provided pro-vided free by the Lee Beebe Band. Photographers Pat McDowell and Nick Nass showed slides they had taken during the course of the day. A display of Roxanne's trophies and photographs dating back to her first races were arranged by her mother, moth-er, Mary Lou Toly. All proceeds from the day's activities will go into a Ski Education Trust Fund started in Roxanne's name. Final figures on the amount raised were not available at this writing, since money is still coming in from some individuals who could not attend. Roxanne will be acting as an alternate at Lake Placid. She was not on the list of those named to the Olympic Team, but will be there to run the course and fill in if the need arises.
