QUEBEC PRIEST
 OPENS SKI JUMP
Canadian City's New Ski Event COincides With
 Feast of Little Xmas

Quebec, Jan. 1l.-Coincident with Quebec's celebration of Epiphany, or Little Christmas, the final event of the Yule season was the official inc auguration last week of Quebecs new Ski-junp at nearby Lac Beau port. Thousands of skiers, native and visitors alike, stood bareheaded on the heights while Father Ber- nier of the little church of Notre Dame deS Laurentides blessed and officially opened the jump. Fol- lowing the ceremony the seasons opening ski competition was held with Fernand Latour and Paul Au. bry of the Trois Riviere club top ping the field. The best jump of the day was made by Laurent Der. rier, of the Royal Canadian Air Force, who did better than l24 feet on his first trial of the new jump.
 Among the juniors, first honors went to Pierre Jalbert of La Voirie Ski club. Much in evidence on the slopes and hills were large groups of Americans from the Chateau Frontenac, who were initiate1 into the Parallel Skiing method of Fritz Loosli, noted Swiss ski-meister and originator of this much discussed system which cuts lear1ig time by tWo- thirds.

 Teams Travelled Great Distances

anywhere. Schedules had been made and the pigsklnnerS got around as before, not as comfortably in some instances, but they fulfilled con- tracts. Sometimes, as in the case of the Virginia flood, 1t was by not luck.
 Curbing unessential travel in war; time is imperative, but if they are going to play professional baseball, clubs have to get around.
 And not a few are of the opinion that major league outfits could have been of service training in the southeastern military zone. That would have given countless young fighting men who have never set eyes on one an opportunity to see big league clubs. There would be worth while competition in Army camps and at Naval bases.
 With professional baseball holding its breath in regard to the approach ing campaign, college athletic al. rectors go on about their business of making schedules for next fall and later, and intend to keep them, if possible. Whether they can or not, they don't know, but they're giving. 1t a whirl, anyway, just as they did the past fall.
 They aren't borrowing trouble.
 In line with @ piece I had the other day about abandoning, until the boys come home, spectator sports involving bumper crowds and equal ly large cash outlays, I see where the number of automobiles parked outside the Pasadena Rose Bowl on New Years Day established a new record-30,000.
 That means that every one of the 93,147 spectators easily could have ridden to the game on rubber they are supposed to be conserving.
 Sports and entertainment at q time like this are privileges not rights.
 If too many selfish people con- tinue to abuse privileges by refusing to take up great deal more of the slack, they are likely to awaken some morning with nothing nor ex- hilarating to do in leisure moments than play an exciting game Of tick tack-toe.

At the conclusion of eleven weeks of bowling in the Elks league, teams captained by Dick Birch and Jimmy Saginaro are pacing the American and National divisions of the popu- lar pin loop: though Birch's Poin- settas have the uncomfortable feel ing of having Guy Pugra and com pany breathing on their collective necks, Pugra's tetam being just one game behind the Birchmen at the writing. Saginaro's Soffritas, whose theme song is Don't be a Fool, eat Pasta Fazoll" own a 7-game edge in the games won column but have lost one more game that the run ner-up team, explained by Harry x.

GAME FIGURED
 TO BE CLOSE
 ALL THE WAY
Both Squads on Edge ]; CrOsby.WiIby Postponed;
 TOrrington Tops Naugy
By Cornerworm Charley

Without the use of Q periscope, otiji board or crystal ball, 1t is now apparent that THE basketball game of the early hoop season is ticketed for Wilby gym Wednesday night of this week with the participants to be those stalwart, doughty and tra- ditional high school sports rivals of three generations Crosby and Nau- gatuck.
 Last week Tuesday, Crosby rose to sudden heights to defeat Q strong and favored Torripgton team 47-4S in an overtime thriller. .diller that would stir the blood of an Egyptian mummy. So what? So Torrington, smarting under that defeat, goes to Naugatuck last Saturday night and whacks out 8 36 to 20 victory over the Foley Fusiliers in. the borough, and remember, ladies and gents, Naugatuck High is defending not only the state championship this season. but the New England crown as well.
 Hope To "Get Even"
 Therefore, Crosby and Naugatuck will resume play this week from the state tournament of last season at the New Haven Arena though, the borough boys have something else to "get even" for. a 1920 football shut. out in Naugatuck last fall. Frankly, the game shapes up as super enter tainment from the referees first whistle to the timers final blast.
 Crosby and Wilby, scheduled last Saturday night was cancelled, out of respect to the memory of Mayor Vincent Scully, whose death oc- cured at $50 p. m. Saturday. Coach Bill Tracy of Leavenworth announced this morning, that the Leavenworth Gilbert of Winsted game set for Tuesday night has also been cancelled until later in the season.
 Going Away
 In Naugatuck last Saturday, Sam PonN of Torrington led a Torring- ton attack with 17 points toward @ 36 to 20 victory over the borough boys, who held the game all even at II points, at half time, though Naugy scored but two points in the second period of play, after 8 9-6 lead. Scoring more than @ point per minute for the last period, Tor rington won going away, with Te. desco and Mele also doing yeoman work for the winners; Ryan and Kissane making all the points for Naugatuck.

Wilson and Lalmotta;
 Wright Vs. PeraIta At New York Friday

New York, Jan. 1I.--Madlson Square Garden boxing fans have long been awaiting an opportunity to see California Jackie wilson in action. They win get that chance on Friday night when Wilson, now 8 sergeant in the Army and sta- tioned at Mitchell Field, L. l., op- poses Jacob LaMotta, rugged Bronx middleweight, in a ten-round match.
 wilson and LaMotta form part of a double feature program which has Joey Peralta, Tamaqua, Pa, lightweight. facing Albert (Chalky) Wright, former world featherweight champion, in a second ten.
 California Jackie wilson is . well terweight and rated by many boxing men the foremost I47-pounder in the country, not excluding Ray Rob- inson. At one time he was Q crack amateur, represented the United States in the OlympicS at Berlin in 1896.
 As Q professional he has had 8 bouts and has registered 32 knock outs, some of his knockout victims including Mike Kaplan, Jimmy Gar rison, Baby Arizmendi, Kid A1teca, and Pete Lello. It was Wilson who put an end to the career of Ceferino Garcia, former middlewe!ght cham pion, when he gave Garcia @ ter- rife trouncing early last summer at Los Angeles, just after Garcia had fought a draw with Billy SooSe.
 Defeated Cocoa Kid
 Several months ago Wilson ar- rived in Mitchell Field as member of the D. s. Army. Since then he has engaged in three contests, knocking out Bernie Miller in eight rounds at the St. Nicholas Rink, outpointing the formidable Cocoa Kid in ten rounds at Baltimore; and hating Frankie Saia in two heats in Philadelphia. The, Saia bout took place on Jan. 2.
 In LaMotta, wilson encounters a powerful test. The Bronx!te went ten bruising rounds with Ray Robinson at the Garden last October and just two weeks ago scored his second triumph in 6 row over Jimmy Edgar

New York, Jan. 11.-It strikes me that big league owners who yelled before Joe Eastman gave them as much as a dirty look could have takenp a lesson from college athletic directors.
 There are many more major foot ball teams than there are profess sional baseball clubs of importance. By their number and much longer trips they outweigh the baseballers in travel, even though the football season is comparatively short.
 Before the season recently closed, none of the athletic officials said anything to anybody about travelling

they had repulsed Detroit, SS-25; Nebraska 69-27: Missouri 5l-30; Great Lakes 57-53; last to Camp Grant, 41-31; and turned back Stanford, 38-26.
 Many of those present considered the first half with Great Lakes the fastest ever played. Illinois led 37-32 at the intermission, and the second half was pretty swift, too.
 Illinois could not come back two nights later against Camp Grant Stanford was the national N. O. A A. champion last season. Many be- lieved Illinois would win, the east ern play-off in New orleans anc meet the western winner, Stanford

queen of the mighty British Empire,

She proved it last nigh at an in

sounded to the strains of solid
swing until 4 a. m. today and the
l6-year-old princess danced every
number from Pick Yourself UP"
to the good night waltz. About $50
guests attended
American officers danced with
the princess, who for the night was
just a girl celebrating her birthday
with a party.
King George and Queen Elizabeth
attended and did their share of
dancing. Their younger daughter,
Princess Margaret Rose, joined for
a while, but she's only II and went
up to bed, like children do any
where, at an early hour.
Princess Elizabeth celebrates her
18th birthday April 81, but that
date falls within Holy Week and
the royal family does not hold any
festivities then.
