BY yORI.AGE

DOROTHY HOIT, the Sche-
~ nectady skiing miss, who
won the Tacoma day women's
slalom last Sunday, probably
isn't getting as much practice
and competition as she needs
to whip her into trim for the
national championships and
international team tryouts at
Mount Hood. April | and 2.
Because while Miss Hoyt
teaches school at Garfield high in
Seattle, limiting her skiing to
week-ends. batch of other top
flight feminine ski stars are now
training under the critical eyes OF
Fried Pfeiffer in Sun Valley.
Old pals Of Miss Hoyt on the
American women's team In
Europe last year, they include
Betty Woolsey, captain of the
team: Marian kean.

nings and Jean Rosenthal,

Heath, Schenectady Winter
Sports club.
Miss Woolsey. as representative
Of that talented group of women
skiers, announced the other day
that she favors the addition of a
women's open class to the national
meet. This would allow Nina Won
Arx-Zogg and Erna Steuri, world
famed Swiss women teachers, TO
compete.
These two. considered among
the best feminine skiers in the
world, have frequently represented
their country in F. /. S. compe-
tition.
IT don't think the question of
whether an American girl will win
enters the problem at all" Miss
woolsey explained. 1.-THE sterner
the competition the sooner our
American women skiers will be
able to compete on even terms
with the top runners of European
countries"
As the word of Miss Woolsey In
regard to such matters probably
won't be tossed off lightly, you
shouldn't be surprised If the first
women's open ski race ever con-
Quoted in the U. S. lis staged al
