NEW SNOW PUTS SKI COURSE IN TOP CONDITION
High Quality Field for All Five Events in Juneau
 Tourney Tomorrow

With a program of five races and ski-jumping exhibition lined up and forty-five contestants, drawn from far and near, entered, this years running of the Juneau Down hill Ski Tournament tomorrow af- ternoon, promises to mark tht event as the premier of it's kind in Alaska.
 Inaugurated l. st year on the completion, by the Forest Service of the Douglas Ski Trail, the first of the annual meetings for the tro- phy donated by Dan Moller, the man behind the scenes in Juneau skiing. resulted in exceptionally fast times. This year, with more con- testants ready to toe the starting mark, and the weather man prophe- swing almost ideal conditions, an even higher quality of performance may be expected over the improved course.
 Fostered by the Juneau Ski Club which has awakened interest in the sport around Gastineau Channel skiing has developed rapidly in this section. and the results of the many days Juneau skiers have this win ter spent on the excellent slopes offered by this rugged section, can not but show in the performance of the contestants. Fresh snow and high caliber field assures Gas tineau Channel winter sports fans of pack of thrills tomorrow.
 Though trail conditions should be excellent, they are not quite as fast as last year when Al Bystrom, of Fairbanks. won the cup and set up the course record of g minutes and 27 seconds for the three and one-half mile course. Bystrom is not on deck to defend his laurels this year, but Sven Saren, second place winner last year is primed for the race and expects to beat his last years time of 10 minutes and B seconds.
 Saren, who made the fastest time over the slow trail in the qualify ing heats last Sunday, is consid- cred the main threat in tomorrow's big race, but there are several new corners on deck who should stand an even chance for the cup
 Dan Moller, Juneau's ski-master and donor of the cup, just returned from several weeks of skiing in the Cascades and Sierras, has filed his entry Ralph Moreau, who was raised on skis ,, in Minnesota, is ranking favorite, as is Joe Werner,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-02-20

who learned his mountain sliding in the Washington Cascades. Bob Davlin became the prize pupil in the local crop when he finished right up in front in the qualifying heats last Sunday, and there are several dark horses in the field who can not be dropped from consideration in the big event.
 Added spice was added to the big race last night. when it was learned that Halvor Opsol, star of the Pet ersburg Ski Club is aboard the De- pere, and has his skis polished for the big race.
 Mark Jensen and Ted Bowling are rated the chief threats in the B class race, while George Con verse, winner of the boys event last year is expected to rule the Junior contest.
 No favorite has been nominated in the boys race this year, all the six lads entered being conceded an equal chance. In the race for the Women, Mary Wander Leest has flashed the best form so far, but is not without plenty of tight com- petition from Ruth Lundell and Marian Foster.
 And remember - anything can happen in a ski race; the best of them break skis.
 The starting times for the races have been synchronized so that there will be no delay between the | events. The Junior race starting from the Hume and the Women's and Children's race from the Mead ow below the Hume will be run off sharply on schedule, the contest ants starting at two minute inter- vals. The gruelling four-mile Mems Class A and Class B races will follow in order.
 The tourney will be climaxed by ski jumping. Sven Saren and Ralph Moreau will renew their duel started last Sunday. Both skiers have accomplished over 100 feet in competition and are in prime form | for tomorrow's event It was esti- mated that they were travelling sixty five miles an hour at the fin ish of their jumps last Sunday. The best place on the Douglas Ski Trail to witness the race is about 750 feet from the Juneau-Douglas Highway, Hot coffee and sand wiches will be sold at this location. All spectators are urged not to go beyond the finish line because the trail must be kept free of foot tracks and people at all times. Dogs must be kept on leash. Deputy Marshal John Mccormick will po- lice the trail.
 Ernest Parsons, President of the Juneau Ski Club, suggests that all those attending the Ski Races and Ski Jumping Sunday dress warmly enough for the occasion. Although there will be lots of action and plenty of spills to interest the spec tator, the onlookers are advised to wear boots or pacs and heavy wool en socks, and enough clothing to be comfortable.

Overlook and Waterville sections could decide what sort of service would be satisfactory to them.
 It now appears that the Connec- ticut Railway and Lighting Com pany will petition the Public Util- ities Commission for permission to serve Waterville by means of the following routes:
 (O West Main street, Thomaston avenue to Homer street, to Dwight street south to Faber avenue, to Edgehill avenue, to Cooke street, to Homer street. to Hanover street, to Boyden street, to Thomaston ave- nue and return to Waterbury. Ten minute service will be instituted on this line.
 (2) Special service when, as if necessary over Thomaston avenue to the Chase Metal Works and over North Main street, Chase ay-nue, Homer street and Thomaston avs nue to the Chase Metal Works. (3) Willow street, Waterviile street. Homer street and Hunting don avenue to Fairmount as now in operation.
 Advantages Cited The advantages of the Thomaston avenue approach are that express service to Waterville will be pro- vided without the competition for seats that is sure to be factor on the Willow street line, and probably faster running time. A serious dis advantage in divorcing the Water vile service from that given to Will low street and Overlook is that there is a question as to whether or not the Waterville community, by itself can provide sufficient patron age all day long to justify the con- t1nuance of ten minute service. It is reasonable to assume that the Sery- ice during the early morning hours, during the noon hours and in the evening will be easily justified. If I the Willow street service were eX- tended to Waterville there would probably never be any serious con- sideration given to any curtailment of service since the line as a whole would provide the patronage nec- essary for such schedule.
 As soon as the petition has been presented to the Public Utilities Commission 1t will be set down for a public hearing and ample notice of such hearing will appear in the press so that anyone interested may appear in conection with the peti- tion.

 The Micah Cleans Society of Grace Methodist church will hold a regular meeting this evening at the home of Janet Brodie, of Manville street, at 7:30 o'clock.
