What is the most thrilling wint

What is the most thrilling winter
sport?"
Ask the question anywhere in the
east or the south and you will hear
million voices shout, "Coasting, to-
bogganing, skating. ice-skating, racing
horses on ice, skate sailing!" But in
Minnesota, in northern Wisconsin, in
the Rocky mountains, in Norway, Swe-
den, northern France, Switzerland,
Prussia, Denmark and Belgium mil
lions more will exclaim, Skiing"
Skiing is generally regarded as an
infant sport in America, but that is
not the case in all parts of the couh-
try. Stoughton, Wis, had a ski tour
nament in 1884 at which Eleif Tveiten
made a leap of 81 feet. The town he'd
another in 1889. Torius Hemmestvedt,
who won the first tournament ever
held in Europe, also won the meet
here. He is now a resident of Eau
Claire, Wis. STAGE that time ski tour
naments have been held SO often in
America that a record of the jumps
over 1875 feet long would resemble an
edition of the Congressional Record.
The long jumps did not start though
until 1909 when Ole Feiring made IA
feet on the big skihill at Duluth, Mimi
Oscar Guaderson covered 1873 feet off
the steel trestle at Chippewa Falls
on the same day. but in 1911 the rec
ord went up another notch. Sigrud
Hanson of Chippewa Falls, competing
against the best professionals in
America, on the steel trestle in
Stoughton. Wis, jumped 141 feet and
stood Hardly had the newspapers
stopped showing pictures of the slider

wood. Mich, the report of a 152 leap
by Anders Haugen and one of 154 feet
by Barney Kelley, competing as an
amateur In the same contest James
Presthus leaped 156 feet, but fell as
did Kelley also.
Europe saw her first ski tourna-
ment in 1879 on the Huseby hill. Tor.
jus Hemmestvedt OF Eau Claire, Wis,
at that time a resident OF Norway,
won the meet The worlds record
was made on Feb rs, 1910, when 81.

Thirty United States ski clubs have
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-01-03

organized the National Ski association
of America with clubs at Stoughton,
Milwaukee, Beloit, Chippewa Falls,
Eau Claire, Superior, Hudson, Area
dia, Wis; Chicago and Rockford, Ill;
Virginia, Fergus Falls, st. Paul and
Minneapolis, Mimi; Ironwood and
Ishpeming, Mich. The association has
a membership of 1900 members or
one-tenth that of the Norwegian as.
sociation in Norway. Tournaments
are held in a circle of cities in Mime
sofa, Wisconsin. Michigan and ILL.,
nois, at which professionals, amateurs
and youths compete for valuable priz-
es.
Barney Kelley, a Sow-legged Irish
man from Coleraine, Mimi, won the
amateur skiing championship of
America in 1909 and held the title for
three successive years by defeating al
competitors in the annual national
meet. Francis Kempe won the ia
tional tournament at Chippewa Falls
in 1911 and for the first time in the
history of skiing in America placed
the professional championship in the
hands of a native born German-Amer.
lean. Because there are 40 profes-
sional events in Europe, Kempe could
also tack onto his title the new one,
worlds professional champion" Lars
Haugen won the title back for the
Norwegians in the meet at Cary, Ill,
in 1912.
What probably is one of the most
daring feats on skis is performed by
John Rudd of Duluth aad Axel Hend
rickson of Chicago, both Of whom
guarantee to make 65-foot leap and a
complete somersault on skis for $50
a performance on any skihill in Amer
lea. Melvin Hendrickson, the 14-year
old Eau Claire, Wis, lad, leaped 125
feet in the national meet at Chippewa
Falls, Wis, in 1911, outdistanciHg both
the amateur and professional cham
pion, and winning his event with
more points than the other two.
The great possibilities of covering
ground on skis are shown by the time
made in the annual teh-miie cross
country run, which is one Of the reg
ular events of the national ski tour
nament The race was made over
hill and valley at Chippewa Falls in
1911 in the remarkable time of AZ
minutes and 80 seconds.
