Button Leads Grogan For Men's Skate Title

Harvard's Dick Button held only a slight lead in defense of his North American Men's Figure Skating Championship after completion of the compulsory figures. Button had only a 15.8 point margin over runner-up James Grogan.

Button's specialty, however, the free skating part of the championship, will be held today.

Last month, Button captured the Men's World Figure Crown at Milan.
