I-Spealtins Of Sports
Winter Sports
Show Healthy
Growth in u. S.
By ROBERT McSHANE

MOT many years ago tile average
! Americans program Of winter
sports was confined to the closest
vacant-lot skating rink, or to the
more adventuresome, an evening of
daredevil tobogganing on gently
graded slope down which a circus
fat woman could navigate safely.
All that has changed. No longer
does the well-bundled witness of a
high school ski meet look upon
himself as rough and ready ath-
lete. No, indeed. Today he dons a
pair Of skis or skates and partici-
pates almost as actively in winter
sports as in golf or tennis.
Millions of Americans now forsake
the Preside in favor Of the skating
ponds and ski slopes. And they
don't 60 merely to watch. They take
an active part.

Facilities Improved

Another important factor Il that
more areas and facilities for skiing
are being opened and improvements
in safe and practical skiing equip
ment and lighter, warmer and more
serviceable winter clothing are be-
ing provided.
Snowshoeing, coasting and tobog-
gaming are holding their traditional
popularity, and are adding new en-
thusiasts all the time as people turn
more and more to the outdoors.
Their simplicity makes them ideal
for the beginning winter sportsman.
The campaign promoted by the
National Sports Council encourages
people to take part personally in
some sport or recreation as an
antidote to the American habit of
taking sports vicariouay by sitting
at a radio or by getting second
hand view at the movies.

proved great deal since he fought
Gunnar Barlund. His punching is
sharper, his accuracy has improved,
and he keeps his head. Even his
footwork is better, though it still
leaves something to be desired.
Boxing critics in general blasted
Carlin for rushing his white hope.
But they were all pleasantly sur
prised with Nova's recent showing,
and expressed surprise at Referee
Eddie Joseph's calling the bout a
draw.
1t may be that Nova is the fighter
with Joe Louis number. He has
the heart, and with a few more Is
round bouts in the Twin" column he
will be even more dangerous.

Ski Enthusiasts Increase

The steady growth in the popular
ity of skiing is an example of this
trend. A bulletin issued by the Ma
tional Sports Council of Chicago
gives an interesting survey Of this
increased popularity. It states:
''More than 10000 people win
take part In the sport this winter
throughout the snow belt that covers
two-thirds Of the United States from
Maine to California.
1.-THE major reason behind this
phenomenal growth Of popular in
terest in skiing is that 1t has been
made easier for the beginner. For
the average participant. there has
been q shift from the spectacular
sport Of ski-jumping to the more
popular sport of down-hill ski run
ming on slopes and trails"
This. however, doesn't mean that
ski-jumping is losing the public's
favor. On the contrary, more peo-
pie than ever are interested in
watching the experts demonstrate
their prowess. It does mean that
it is possible for the average per-
son Of both sexes to enjoy them
selves on skis without being COM
pletely skilled in the art Of jumping.

Cooke and Frank Kovacs provide
material for strong, and maybe

all as definite cup possibilities in
the singles.

Here we have very treacherous
break. II the player is not cautious
he will likely in a majority of cases
cause his cue ball to 60 into the
corner pocket. To prevent this, spe-
cial care should be taken to strike
the object ball as designated. In
this particular shot the stroking Of
the cue ball Is Of great importance.
Hold the cue as level as possible and
favor english slightly to the right.
Keep your cue On the line Of aim.
The stroke is medium hard.
