Tyler Drives U.S. Sled To World Championship At St. Moritz, Switzerland, the climax of the world's bobsled championship. It's Art Tyler's cool precision driving in a tricky and treacherous race that brings the U.S.A its first 4-man bobsled championship crown since 1953. Italy's sled was second. West Germany's entry came in third. Other team members are Gary Sheffield (?), Tom Butler (?), and a third man. Newsreel cameraman. Team hugging after race.
