Tenley Albright '57 barely held the lead over her Olympic rival, Carol Heiss of Ozone Park, N.Y., after the completion of four school figures in the world's woman's figure skating championships at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
No results were given out in the women's event, but unofficial scorers gave Miss Albright a narrow margin. Tenley had a close call when a large piece of ice cracked away from under her as she executed the first figure, and she almost lost her balance.
After the end of three figures, the sixteen-year-old Miss Heiss was leading, 449.5 to 446.5 in the compulsory figure division of the championships which counts 60 per cent of the final scoring. The free skating division, Miss Heiss's specialty, which counts 40 per cent, will take place tomorrow to wind up the competition. Tenley defeated Miss Heiss in the Olympics.
