HoUeHToN TEAM INDIGNANT.
Players Declare They Do Not Aim to
lnjure Opponents.

Reports emanating from Calumet
recently regarding the alleged methods
Of play employed by the Portage Lake
Juniors have aroused the anger of the
Houghton players. 1t is claimed "the
Houghton team does not confine itself
to legitimate checking. charging from
behind, tripping. cross checking and
using the short end being resorted
to- This the Houghton players deny,
claiming they play just as clean a
game as any team could with the prov
ccation they are constantly subjected
to and they feel they are being given
an undeservedly bad reputation.
The Houghton players claim their
heavy checking game is not under
stood by Calumet, which believes that
TO MAIN an opposing player is the aim
Of the HoughtOn men. The Houghton
team, with its superior weight. is
merely using the checking game To
wear its opponents out and to slow
them up. This is about the only style
Il play a heavy team can employ
against a lighter one and is considered
good hockey.
The Houghton players also are glad
Shields has been selected to referee
They feel safe that their legitimate
checking will not be misconstrued into
dirty work by him. as was done at
Calumet recently when the referee put
lf Houghton men every time they
body checked Calumet player. The
iioughton team will be accompanied

Omtvedt's Ski Feat at lronwood-

How thc young Norwegian student
Omtvedt, broke the worlds ski jump

following description of the national
meet: 1T was the greatest exhibition
of long distance ski jumping since the
days when the Viking heroes used to

for slides for a plunge into the frigid
surf TO build up their constitutions.
The likes of Omtvedts riding had
never been seen anywhere in ski sport
The stocky and handsome blonde skier
sked off Jumps Of l6i feet in the trial
and I5S and l54 feet in the regular
run and. as the grand finale. he cata-
pulled through space 1863 feet before
landing on terra firma--all perfect
standing jumps. The daring and aban-.
don Of Omtvedt's style electrified the
big crowd of five thousand enthusiasts
beyond the power of words to express
As he shot through the air "a hushed
awe held the people almost breathless
until the big numbers far up the hill
announced his distance and then bed

ready for his start. On either sido

push. At the signal those skiers
grasped either shoulder and pushed
him off the platform. giving him a fly

on the 365 foot slide his 1S5 OF 1870
pounds gaining fearful momentum. At
the take-on he rose high above the
brow of the hill and dropped down,
till you thought he would hit the foot
of the hill. With terrible impact he
struck the incline squarely. There was
give in his poise and then he raised
himself on his powerful limbs ana
sped down the hill to the flat, finishing
with a beautiful Telemarken turn.
The crowd knew intultively that ii

tunities in the Upper Peninsula that

prejudice of many and TO get them
interested enough to have a looking.

droughts, our summers are delightful I

spring for the reason the heavy and 1
beneficial blanket of snow prevents
the ground from freezing deeply. Wild
fruits Of northern clmes grow in
abundance and there are many ma
