Skiing to the Front

II ESULTS Of the national ski tour
nament held recently on Mt.
Hood, near Portland, Ore, demon
strate that skiing has at last gained
Its rightful place on the American
sports program.
Dick Durrance, Dartmouth col
lege student, was top man in the
tournament, which attracted the tai
ent Of seven nations to Timberline
lodge ski fields.
Durrance won four of six posi-
BILE mems titles. His competition
included Hannes Schroll, the Aus
trlan skier now plying his trade in
California; Reidar Anderson of Nor
way, Friedl Pfeiffer, Sun Valleys
Austrian coach, and Walter Prayer,
who coached Durrance.
Six Americans finished among the
first 10 in combined downhill and
SALON standings. All of them are
young, with perhaps their best years
Of skiing ahead of them.
The open downhill race was won
by Toni Matt, 19-year-old Austrian
born New Hampshire ski instructor,
who is in America to stay.
American amateurs won fifth,
sixth and seventh places in open
competition. They were Wendell
Cram, Rutland, VT; Dick Mitchell,
University of Nevada, and Gordon
Wren, Steamboat Springs, Colo. 9th
er ranking Americans included Will
liam Janss and Peter Garrett.
That these native sons were able
to make such an outstanding show
ing is remarkable in that only a
few years ago, skiing was some
thing an American saw in news reels
or travel0gues. A few enthusiasts,
Of course, had long been interested
in the sport. But they were in dis
tinct, and scarcely heard, minority.
During the past few years U. S.
athletes have had opportunity to
avail themselves of more wide
spread skiing facilities. Their fond
ness and aptitude for the sport was
evinced by the results of the Mt.
Hood tournament. o..

The American Way

THE not-at-all sissified activities
L of American ball players have
a shocking effect on Mr.. Walter Ley
smith of London, England.
Walter, a veteran of Britain's
cricket and football fields. comes to
the United States as a student of
the American Way. He wants to
learn all about this country's sports
and skyscrapers.
In his candid opinion, the whole
thing is in rather bad taste. Fist
figbts. pop bottle brawls and general
attempted mayhem are unheard OF
in England. In fact, should cricket
rI,ver 90 so far as to shove an
mnire. he would be banished from
the game for life. He would be-
come an outcast. a social pariah and
a thing of evil.
Football in England isn't quite so
eentlemanly, Walter stated, but it's
st;T mink tea proposition in COM
aar;son to U. S. baseball. The Wis.,
ting Britisher cited an instance or
two where the official was roughly
handled by a team. In every case
,he football association secretary
Ian absolute dictator) closed the
.rn,,nds for two or three weeks.
Which meant a tremendous finan-
cial loss to both clubs.
He also advanced the information
that a pop bottle thrower would be
huneed up by the crowd before the
noIice could slap him in lail.
which is decidedly not the Ameri'
can Way!

1t is likely that he will soon be

And he's just as likely to be well

Though it is improbable that he
will ever again face Louis in the

fans. Max isn't the worlds worst

His all-time Notre Dame rec

His best time for the 5000 meters
run is only TT seconds behind Paavo
Nurmi's world record.
Rice's most beautiful exhibition of
running came this year at the Drake
relays, when, on the first day, he
shaved 6 second off Lash's two-mile
record in $40. The next day he
came back to run the mile in 4:12.5
with the four-mile relay team, and
l:54.6 in the half-mile with the two
mile team. The marks were the best
of his career.
It's not an easy task to keep an
eye on his twinkling toes. but it
will be well worth while. Coach
John Nicholson will see to it that
he's in the best of condition for
next years Olympic tryouts. And
with a heart that must occupy the
largest part of his understood
chassis, Captain Gregory Rice is a
man to watch.
