Last weekend, skiers from the I'niversity of Oregon com
peted at the Pacific Northwest Ski Association Class "C"
slalom championships at Hoodoo Ski Howl. John Beer and
Dick Brown tied for first place in the men’s division and
Carla 1.aw son won the women’s championship.
OREGON SKIERS probably will not enter any more
meets this year-4-the only ones remaining are in Eastern
Oregon anil are just too far away. In some respects, this has
been an excellent season for the skiers. They have placed
well in just about all the meets they have entered.
. Hut lack of cooperation on the part of the Athletic De
partment and the ASl'O Senate have been bitter disappoint
ments. At present, the skiers pay their own expenses.
Commissar Refuses
ATHLETIC COMMISSAR Leo Harris lias consistently
refused to recognize the existence of the ski team, which
now represents the University only informally.
Resides getting the runaround from the Athletic Depart
ment, tiie skiers have also had some unhappy experiences
with the ASUO Senate. This sterling body promised the ski
team a certain amount of money tor the W inter Carnival.
When the University pulled out of the Carnival, the Senate
said the ,-kiers could have the money anyway and could use
it for other meets. But UO’s Tammany Hall reneged and
never did come forth with its promised offering.
BUT THE SKIERS, battered but not beaten, have not
yet given up on the ASUO Senate. They realize how reluc
tantly politicians spend money and are still hopeful that the
august group of potential Boss Tweeds will come through
with a reasonable contribution for next year.
Oregon ha.' potentially the strongest >ki team in the North
west for next season. Brown, Beer, Jim King. Miss Lawson,
and Mary Kay Norman form the nucleus for a capable scpiad.
Unless there is a change in University policy, the skiers
won’t represent the University next year—not even unoffi
cially.
THE WAY THINGS stand now, the team will bill itself
as the “Ski Quacks” and will compete as such. Some other
schools, which don’t get recognition from their respective
athletic departments, race as club teams with money given
by the student body.
Prodding by school officials got Oregon State skiers spec
ial rates at some lodges—something UO skiers have had to
do w ithout.
Need Only $500
How much money would the ski team need? John Beer,
spokesman for the team estimates that $500 a year would be
sufficient. He says, “$500 would pay for part of our ex
penses. With this money, we could compete at many of the
big meets held at places like Squaw Valley, Whitefish, and
Sun \ alley.”
COMPARED to the subsidies some other sports receive,
$500 is not a large amount. Right now, the skiers do not get
any help at all. The individuals must pay all expenses out of
their own pockets.
Skiing is probably the fastest-grow ing sport in the country,
but the University takes no note of it. The fine results ob
tained by UO skiers justify their being helped out, if not
completely subsidized, by the University.

At Howe Field

Meet Pilots Friday
The weather hasn't been ton
good In Eugene this week.and per
haps the law of averages will

a game postponed yet this year,
and barring cloudbursts. Don
Kirsch's team will meet Portland
State this afternoon ul Howe
Field.

Kirsch plans to start Bill Sim

has been used only in relief so
far this year, but will get a
chance to go the distance against
