1941: Bobsledding

Top honors in American competitions went to Frank Tyler's Sno Birds in winning the national A. A. U. bobsledding championships over the Olympic Run at Lake Placid, N. Y., also capturing the Fiske Memorial Trophy, the Lithgow Osborne, and the Samuel Packer trophy events. The four-man team comprised Frank Tyler, Bill D'Amico, E. H. Varno and Pat Martin or Lawrence Straight. The Saranac Lake Bobsled Club's two-man national title holders are Tuffield Latour and Paul Dupree, who are also the winners of the North American two-man title.

Bill Linney came out of retirement to retain his North American four-man championship, driving the Republic Miners Bobsled Club, assisted by John Kerr. William Stacairch and Angus Clain. In this stellar event Tyler and his national champions finished third. Curtis Stevens, veteran bobsled driver, at the wheel of the Sno Bird sled, won the Lowell Thomas international four-man trophy race with D'Amico, Varno and Lawrence Straight. Stevens and D'Amico teamed to win the Dietrich Wortman two-man bobsled title.
