But while Nels' first flashin' was on barrel staves and other crude skis, his daily flashin' is now done with a camera. He still skis, this sharp-featured Norseman who is the ice action cameraman of the local Jesten-Mlller firm, bat to no where the extent and expertness that he did as late as 11 years ago, when e was a. 19-year-old athlete in western Norway, For instance, Nels now would lever think of plunging down a two-mile long precipice, so steep and dangerous no one else had ever attempted it, as he one day did in the old country. "It t was a "crazy thing to do." Nels now avers. "It- was a ridge type approach to one of the steep est peaks in the .wildest region of Norway, and as" I look back on it now I don't know What possessed me to start upon the treacherous mountainside." Bat Nels lived through it. and liyed tb reach Tacoma, Washing ton, in 1929, Just in time to catch up with America when-it was crash ng arouna- everyooays ears. tie came straignt irom Bergen, just a mite of a distance from Stavanger. here the now famous City of Flint" was recently interned. Took Seven First Places. Nelson was the name of Nels' father, but. Nels and bis three brothers and two Bisters took the name, Tonning, getting it from the name of the farm and settlement where they were raised. It's an old Scandinavian custom. Principal sports in Norway are skiing, skating and track, and Nels was proficient in each. While attending Firda Ginnas (college), Tonning took seven of eight possible first places in a track meet. In cluded in his efforts for the day was a high jump of six feet and a broad jump of 22 feet, besides firsts in all the dashes. Nels says a brother, Bjarne who was graduated from the Univer sity of Washington in 1939 and who has a flock of intercollegiate ski championships to his credit, is now a much better skier than he, but there was a day not so long ago that Nels wouldn't take off his skiing toga to even his brother. Ski jumping was the principal diversion for young and old on holidays and "days off" in Norway, says Nels. "When we had oppor tunity, we were out in the hills, jumping all day long." The slightly built Norwegian has jumped as far as 160 feet, accomplishing the feat in the days when soaring that distance out over space on a pair of slats was a rare doing. In Norway, says Nels, everybody skis, and every one takes pride in his own ski equipment. "We used to take as much pride in our skis there as you do your automobiles here. Skis were our only method of travel in the winter time." 1 O Learn to Ski Uphill, too. But not always was Norwegian ski equipment what it is today, Nels remembers. When he was a youngster, barrel staves and the crudest kind of skis were in use. popularizing the sport did the Scandinavian countries begin improv- ng upon equipment. row, even orway. And it is In this memory of the n nis Doynooa aavs in Norway, zo eason wny tne i-inn army nas Deen vading Russians. For, says Nels, it is his belief the Russians, notori ously backward, are now in about the same stage with their ski equip ment as were the Scandinavian countries when he was a boy. "Not only that," says Nels, "but Russia is made up of plains that aren't adequate as training grounds for a skier. In my country you had to learn how to ski up hill and across country as well as down hill. "Why, I can remember one annual race.'of 50 kilometers (about 31 miles), that was over mountainous country. Participants started from one point and returned to that point, making It necessary to ski uphill as much as downhill. The best of them would negotiate the race in around four hours." Skiing over such terrain, the peoples of the Scandinavian coun tries have become extremely hardy, for uphill and downhill skiing demands much in the way of physical equipment, says Nels. Too, he says. In Finland, as in Norway, skiers learn early to whip around trees and other obstructions with the greatest of ea.se. Russians, used to their plains, have not the mobility on slats. Better Equipment, Better Records. To further prove his assertion that ski equipment has improved astonishingly In the last 25 to 40 years, Nels points out that in 1905 S. E. Tonseth, now a Salem insurance man. in 1905 won the first King's cup in Norway with a leap of 30 meters less than 100 feet), while In 1925 the record was between 60 and 70 meters and today it is over 100 meters. The record book bears Nels' assertion out. It says that in 1902 Nils Gjestvang held the world's record. 130 feet: hut that in 1937 Olaf Ulland set a world's mark of 337 feet at Plancia, Jugoslavia. A great deal of the distance yearly added to jump records, and a great number of the seconds clipped annually from race records are attributable to better facilities and equipment, thinks Nels. "When I was a boy in Norway," he says, "we used the same pair of skis for cross-country as we did for jumping. Now jumping skis are much dif- rerent man rarine skis, i npn wt fiirin t nve st i.r nhnt nit a ti,-t at did little good in 10 feet of ness.

(AP) Basketball rule makers must return the center jump to the game before sec ondary school authorities legislate against the sport, Lon Jourdet, veteran University of Pennsylvania coach, de clared today. Jourdet, whose Quaker teams have won eight east ern Intercollegiate league titles in o 15 years, said the present rules not only are harmful to the play ers' health, but that the high ecoring now possible hurts spec tator interest.

State tournament stock for Sa lem high's hoopers will this morn ing be quoted at a somewhat higher rate along Oregon's prep basketball boulevard, for the vi cious Vikings last night drove Astoria's famed Flying Finns into the mapleboards with a 47 to 27 victory. The locals played the same "take - that - ball-away-f rom-'em," fire engine, storm trooper type of game that last year enabled them to drag down the state bunting. Aggressiveness, both of fensively and defensively, and putting the pressure on with a court-burning drive continuously, did the trick. Kernes Sparks 'Em And give a pawful of posies to stocky Mr. Red Kernes, who, along with swarthy, ball-grabbing Don Coons, snapped the Vikings out of the lethargy that gripped them throughout most of the first quarter, and especially credit Kernes with the final quarter drive that saw the Salems pick up eight points on the Astorias. Off to a shaky start, casting off .wildly and playing loosely on the defense, the Vikings saw the Fishermen score in the first 30 seconds on Seeborg's corner toss and go on to post an 11-8 first quarter advantage. Bob McKee, with a long one-hander, tied the score at 2-2 with three minutes gone, but from there on to the Orange Wins 4440 Mandic Paces Beaver Attack Sophs Are Hot; Bud Olson Loss Ruins Threat of Pullman Cougars CORVALLIS. Ore.. Feb. 10.-JP -Oregon State lengthened its lead in the northern division of the Pacific Coast basketball confer ence tonight by defeating the second-place Washington State Cou gars, 4 4 to 40. The victory gave the winning Beavers an even break in the dreaded series with the Cougars. Although Washington State never held the lead, the visitors seemed twice on the threshhold of victory and but for the retirement of Bud Olson, whirlwind guard, on fouls early in the second pe riod, might have won. Olson, who paced the Cougars in the 4 6-3 7 victory Friday night with 13 points, got eight tonight. Oregon State drew heavily on its sophomores, frequently having three on the court at once. Soph John Mandic had the range, rust ling the string with seven field goals for 14 points. Oregon State took a slight lead at the etart but the score was tied at 3-3. 4-4 and 6-6 before Valenti, J. Mandic and Hunter set off a Beaver rally which at its flood produced a 23 to 12 lead. This after Olson has been assessed a third Jack Friel back made foul and benched by Coach Friel to compose himself, hustled his fireball guard into the game and Olson two field goals and fed the ball to Butts for a third in the last minute of the half, chopping OS's lead to 23-18. Tied Three Times More The Cougar revival carried over into the second half as Olson and Gebert, substitute for Sundquist, potted field goals and free throws and finally tied the score at 25 25. Hunter put OSC ahead again on the foul that 6ent Olson to the bench. With Jennings and Gebert carrying the fight the Olson-less Cougars hung on desper ately and tied the score at 33-33 and 3 5-3 5 but the Beavers were not to be denied. Hunter put them ahead 3 9-3 5 with two long ones, John Mandic waltzed through WSC defenses for two more and Oregon State was over the hump. Lindemau and Sund quist tame through with last minute baskets but the Beavers were too far ahead. WSC took 56 shots and sank 14. Oregon State rang the bell 18 times on 52 shots.

"Clipper" Smith re signed the head football coaching Job at Vlllanova today and form ally accepted the same position at Loyola university here, suc ceeding Mike Pecarovich. Smith was former Santa Clara coach before going to Villanova four years ago. Smith was given a three-year contract. Terms were not di vulged, but It was reported he will receive 310,000 a year.

Epidemic Suffered Pecarovich resigned from Gon zaga university and accepted a one-year contract at Loyola, which expired February 1. Short of ma terial in quality as well as quan tity, Loyola's grid fortunes dipped deeper when an infantile apraly sis epidemic hit the squad in mid season, and the team emerged from a poor season with two vic tories, one tie and six losses. "There Isn't much I can say," Pecarovich asserted. "The news came rather unexpectedly, al though I had suspected for some time that where there was smoke there must be fire." Pecarovich's assistant.

Lovvald, with three quick baskets after Don Coons was taken from the game with an injured ankle, was the fair haired Finn who sliced down the Salem advantage that had mount ed to 32-24 with two and a half minutes left in the quarter.
