Americas bright hope for a medal was Billy Kidd of Stowe, Vt., the silver medal winner in the l'S4 Olympic slalom, but this ray quickly was blotted out cult for judges to tell immediately if skiers had missed gates and there was a great deal of confusion at the bottom of the hill. Despite the disqualification of Mjoen, it still was a good day for the Norwegians, who virtually clinched the gold medal championship of the games as Ole Elle'saeter captured the cross countr, ski run for his countrys sixth gold. In other competition held See KILLY on Page 6 as Kidd fell midway down his first run. Jimmy Heuga of Squaw Valley, Calif., the bronze medalist at Innsbruck four years ago, had a combined time of 1:40.97 that was good for fifth place behind Switzerland's Dumeng Giovanoli and Rick Chaffee of Rurtland, Vt., was seventh. The slalom was held in dense fog that reduced visibility to 20 feet at times and almost caused the postponement of the event Because of the fog, it was diffi Great Hosts, The French GRENOBLE Walking around the streets is at of Grenoble night like a carnival. Theyve done a pretty packet for the Olympic Games. It up didnt cost them a lot of money either. They left up their Christmas decorations. Almost everywhere you go there is tinsel, and colored balls, and frosted trinkets hanging around. In the streets there are the red and green lights of Christmas, decking every street. This is good and its showy. But its not easy to get in the holiday fever when the onions are startin' blossom and the grasses are greening fast in the valleys.

So we should have some warmish weather around Grenoble. You can tell that spring is not far off because the farmers are spreading tha ; fertilizer for the spring rains. A-- Golf Is Growing Last night, in dining with a famed golf course architect, we talked about matters other than Olympics golf, in fact. Robert Trent Jones, his son Robert, Ron Kirby from Florida and Baron Paul Rotin of Belgium were on their way to see some of their new Trent Jones golf courses and do some engineering on some others. They have them in many countries with more coming. Trent Jones, who has built more of the world golf courses than anyone, says Europe is fast catching the golf bug. He says France has about 100 golf courses. Italy, Spain, Germany are all busy with golf programs now. It has become such a big busislss that Trent is moving part of his New York office over to Switzerland to headquarters the European operations. iil') rv Jk J&'f" , C 0W' w.., V , ty.

Thats when the Palmers and the Caspers will have to hustle for their money. Yes, Russia is getting minded, too. The public will be playing it soon as they are in just about every other cointry, Jones said. Baron Paul is a nobleman, of course, but he has other things to do than just mind his manors. He is one of the finest amateur golfers in Europe and has competed for such as the British Amateur. He studied in America and is now affiliated with Jones in this matter of golf course construction.

He just shook his head. Dick Rorabach of the Paris edition of the Herald Tribune saw my plight and signaled me aside. He was an old campaigner with the French police. Hop that fence, he said, and go to it. Later Dick told me some of the stunts hes had to pull. The press cards have not always been the best passes to have. Over at the Hockey Games he wanted to get near rinkside. He took off all identification and explained to the guards, in his good French, that he was a window cleaner. They passed him quickly there isnt a window in that part of the building. He told me of another time a friend of his decided to have the best seat in the house. He! posed as Mr. Avery Brundages assistant and' chatted through the lines to the Brundagc seat. He enjoyed the contest, made a very gracious bow and then left only to return by the same routine the next time except that they recognized him and ushered him right through to the same scat time with the poise that a man of his rank" deserved. We talk about this language barrier. Sometimes its the best thing we have going for us. Like one fellow said, if I get turned down or get turned back, I just snarl, shake my jowls and walk through. They dont know what Im saying and usually give up on it rather than fight it.
