Sorry, but due to my bad speeling I got the name of Ted's teammate wrong again - it's Irv Pesek:
" Irv Pesek, Bohemian American boy from Chicago. He was afraid to go home if they wrote he was Chechoslovakian. His mother was fiercely proud of being from the better side of the tracks, namely Bohemia, and gave him you know what if the press wasn't correct."
Peter Post and Harm Smits won the race, with Pesek and Ernst in 2nd.
