SKI TRAILS
Only Cabin Mountain Has Skiinq
By ROBERT 8. RYAN

Sixty degree weather. which
quickly ended Washington's
white Christmas also spoiled
skiers' hopes. In the Alleghenies,
unseaSonably warm weather
swept the SHOWS from most ski
areas. Complete shutdown S
were reported over the week
end from Laurel Mountain,
Deep Creek, Weiss Knob and
Seven Springs.
Most of New York State, de-
spite recent SHOWS, reported
little or no skiing. New England
Jared little better. In fact,
south Of Stowe, VT, there was
apparently only one ski area in
operation and that was Cabin
Mountain at Davis, w. Va.
Washington area skiers, who
had planned New England
holidays reversed their courses
and headed south.
The faithful Cabin Mountain
drifts, which have sustained
the sport many times, once
again provided the only skiing
in roughly 100000 square miles.
Frank Louckes, jr., of Arling-
ton, manager of Cabin Noun
tain operations, reported a
small but enthusiastic crowd
on the slopes. The going was
wet at times, but the upper and
lower tows remained in opera
tion.

ton, the alleged ski injury
problem" has been given unde-

injury risks" are cited as an
almost inevitable accompani-
ment to skiing.
Last year, the same magazine
ran an article stresSing the
dangers.
In my opinion such undue
emphasis on this facet Of the
sport is unwarranted in light
of overwhelming evidence.
A&
For their own safety, new
skierS should take more than
one lesson.
In skiing, as in many other
activities, a little knowledge is
dangerous thing. That first
lesson will build up confidence,
but it may well generate over
confidence.
I still recall with a mixture
Of horror and amazement the
smash and bash" technique
practiced by the clientele of an
Armed Forces Ski Lodge in
Japan. After a lesson or two,
they decided they needed no
more. Luckily, being young
men in good physical condition,
injuries were minor, but the ski
patrol, headed by the Igaya
family, parents of Dartmouth's
champion, Chiharu Igaya, was
constantly being called upon to
cart away victims of overcon-
f1dence.

Tunney Suggests
Floyd Prove Self

LONDON, Dec. 20 (AP)-
Gene Tunney told British
sports fans last night he
thought Floyd Patterson should
have to prove himself before
getting a return title fight
against Ingemar Johansson,
the heavyweight champion.
The British Broadcasting
Corp. televised a transatlantic
interview between Tunney and
Cannon Andrews, British
sports commentator, shortly
after JohanSson agreed to
meet Patterson in a June re-
match in New York.
Tunney, former heavyweight
champion, thought a better
world title fight would have
been between Rocky Marciano,
former champion, and Jo-
hanson. Marciano has been
thinking about making Q
comeback, Tunney said.

OLYMPIC OUTLOOK
By RALPH c. CRAIG

Proceeding through the usual
'frictions of clashing Federal,
State, and personal interests,
Squaw Valley seems to be about
set to put on a splendid set of
winter Olympic Games.
California appropriated
81, 800, 900, the Federal Govern
ment $4,4O0,000 and Nevada
$393, 900. Private capital has
been furnished for motels, pri-
vate homes, and a shopping
center.
The entire grounds and plant
will become a part of Cali
fornia's park system at the end
Of the games. As it will be used
as a winter sports center for
the State and the Nation, it
seems probable that private
construction will increase.

The weather is always an un-
certain factor in any winter
sports program in Europe or
America. The weather can be
too warm, with not enough
snow. There can be too much
snow, causing avalanches that
ruin racing courses and COM
pletely disrupt highway trans
portation This is especially q
hazard at Squaw Valley, where
spectators will have to be
housed at different points with
in a radius of rs miles, and
where winter billiards are big
and mean.
Modern snow equipment has
alleviated many of these haz-
ards. Dynamite has beer
planted at strategic avalanche
points. Many snow fences have
been built, but a good old
fashioned Californian mountain
snowstorm can still raise a lot
of havoc. Squaw Valley is moi

hounds with Bucks, recalls
such an occasion. The dogs had
treed q bear and a shot merely
wounded it in one shoulder.
The bear came out Of the tree
and there was a melee with the
dogs.
Michael thrust a rifle muzzle
into the bears mouth and fired.
The bullet came out the back
Of its neck but it had enough
life to sink its teeth into the
hunters hand. which still bears
the scars. Michael finally killed
the bear with a pocket knife.
With Clayton Gasque, a
Congressional aide, James E.
Bailey, minority counsel of the
Senate Committee on Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce,
and Judge James r. Duncan of
Alexandria, we went bear hunt
ing on Warm Springs Noun
tains in Bath County.
20 Hunters in Party
There were 20 or more hunt
tiers in the party with Arm
strong, Lewis and Michael
pooling their hounds. Starting
point was Bath Alum, Clinton
M. Hester's beautiful estate
near Hot Springs.
At dawn a caravan of trucks
carrying the dogs and cars and
jeeps the hunters started up
Warm Springs Mountain. Part
way up we left the highway
and took to a steep fire trail
that leads to the summit.
On top the ground was
frozen, there were patches of
heavy snow and in spots the
going was rough on the rutted
dirt road. The ridge is perhaps
10 miles long and near its end
is an airport, something you
would least expect to find atop
a mountain, but q real honest
to-goodness airport big enough
to accommodate small planes.
Along the route there were
occasional overlooks, with
breathtaking panoramas and a
view Of Warm Springs nesting
against the mountain like a
toy village under a Christmas
tree.
The mountain was thickly
forested and where we released
the dogs the brush seemed i'm
penetrable. Most Of the hunters
took stands along the road or
at other vantage points and
listened for the chorus that
would signal the finding of a
trail.
Our sector was quiet with the
chief excitement the flushing
of two grouse and one hen
turkey that few over the tree
tops. Finally we heard the
hounds in the distance and
tried to close in, but other
hunters were on their heels
and bagged the bear, two of
them, within 100 yards of each
other and only a short distance
from the airport.

bears, but from the perils of
over-exertion.
If you have a strong conSti-
tuition, sound heart and good
arches. then it's the sport for
you. If not, better stay home
because the tun, if fun it is, lies
in following the hounds up and
down precipitouS slopes in
brush sometimes so thick that
you have to crawl through on
hands and knees and climb a
tree to get your bearings.
Ten to Is miles? That's just
middlin' to a bear hunter.
Bears are found in high
places and the hunt usually
starts atop the highest eleva-
ton handy in the Blue Ridge
or Alleghenies.
The hounds are released and
when their keen noses find a
hot trail, they take of in a
chorus of bays that is the de-
light of hunters like Buck
Armstrong of Deerfleld. Il
shore like that music" Buck
says.
In fact, the kill is the least
important aspect of the hunt
to the dedicated hunters like
Buck who drop everything else
when the season opens. Each
owns q pack Of dogs and often
pool the packs when the hounds
are injured or over-tired.
The group includes Duff
Lewis, also of Deerfleld, Nor
man Michael of Parnessus, and
Russ Armstrong of West Au-
guSta and his brother, also
known as Buck. They hunt
mostly in the counties Of Au-
gusta, Bath, Highland and
Rockingham.
Old Trey Back In Action
The hounds are big, raw
boned and sometimes nasty
tempered. Buck Armstrong
owns one Of the most famous
in Old Trey, named for his
tree liver-colored spots, who is
back in action after repeated
injuries. A bear raked Old
Trey's flank last year, laying
him up two or three weeks.
and this season another bit him
through one paw.
Virginia bears weigh from $50
to 500 pounds but more usually
they are In the 150-pound
class. The flesh of a young
bear that has fed mostly on
roots, nuts and acornS is more
tasty than venison.
When the hounds close on
a bear, it usually takes to a tree
but sometimes is surrounded in
a thicket where it puts up a
merry fight with the dogs. Hun
ters like Buck leave the shoot
ing to some other member of
the party, often one who has
never killed a bear.
A black bear is shy and timid
and its instinct is to get away
from man even when wounded.
Nevertheless, there are occa-
sional encounters.

ing his own decimated pack Of

The International Federations

Of competitions held during the
last three years have resulted
in improvements in the courses.

International Federation and
Olympic officials report that
they are well satisfied with the
progress which has been made.

Thirty-four nations have
entered. The five responsible
United States Olympic Com
mittees are far ahead of any
previous year in their prepara-
tions. Training squads in
skiing, speed skating and BIZ
athlon were determined last
winter. They have been train
ing for over a month in prep
aration for final team selec-
tionS.
Ice hockey candidates began
their series of trials in Novem-
ber. The national champion
ships in figure skating, January
27-30, will determine our en-
tries.
How will we do? My guess is
two gold medals in figure skat-
ing singles, with our other
skaters placing well. In hockey,
Canada and Russia will both
be tough competition. In speed
skating most of our best men
were on the 1856 team which
did poorly.
Skiing magazines write hope
fully, but our youngsters are
not experienced enough and
our veterans find it hard to
adopt to the new techniques
which are doing better than
the men. The biathlon is new.
We may do well in this. but
there is little data for a worth
