Real SpOrtsmanship
A feature not apparent to the cas-
ual onlooker at the races, but tndi-
eating the wonderful spirit Of sports
manship which all Of the boys have
shown, took place at the dinner FRI
day noon at the Girls Club house.
Pennington High, entered in the
match by mail as were the other
teams, arrived about IL o'clock In
the morning. too late to enter the
ski Jumping, or the trials and semi
finals in the other snow events. They
started on Thursday afternoon but
the storm forced them to return to
their homes and it was only with
great difficulty that they reached
Augusta when they did.
Upon motion Of Coach Jacobs of
South Paris, 1t was unanimously vot-
ed that Pennington might have its
men run against time and II any of
them could equal the slowest time
Of any heat in the semi-finals they
might compete in the finals. 1t was
also voted that they might try the
ski jumping and compete against
the records which were set earlier
IN the day. Pennington was unable
to qualify In the snow events but
they fully appreciated the fine
sportsmanship of the other compet-
ing teams.
The ski jumping was awarded on
the basis Of both length Of jumps
and form. Sorenson of Stevens High
Of Rumford, who made the longest
jump of the contest, fell once. and
his grade on form gave him third
place. Hanson Of Bangor was first
and Bell of Bangor second In this
event. The conditions at the jump
were far from ideal. There was a
| stiff wind blowing, which made the
skis particularly hard to handle
while in the air and In addition the
fine. dry snow made landing diff
cult as the skis would not slip ahead
as they should when hitting the
some fine jumps were made and ex-
cellent form was displayed.
