    ttr-The Stat man. Salem. Oregon. Saturday. January It. 1947
Kollin' Mong
By Jerry Stone
Amidst the Ilgnt teach of snow that hit the eld tewn the past
week and the general griping and grumbling that accompanied the
thin blanket there was at least one individual In the vicinity who
surely welcomed the "white
stuff." For to Bill Bowes, snow
brings reminders of the ski trails
and the unique thrill of slat
competition. (Not that the locil
boy could have worked out very
much in the skimpy powdering.)
Tough competition the ski game
affords tough and dangerous
but Bill has met a lt of the
best of m and walked off with
win after win.
Now to become a top-grade
exponent of the popular winter
I port you don't, in the beginning
stages, have to have a pair of the
best skis on the market and
you don't have to take lessons at
five bucks an hour from an in
structor. At least Bill didn't.
It all started some 19 years
go and it started very un
pretentiously, too. Just some very
rudimentary skis formed of bar
rel staves from the vinegar fac
tory across the street, and ski
rnni rrooved in the surrouuding
orchards. The Bowes boys. Bill and his brother Bob, figured it was
at least the beginning. On the infrequent occasions of sufficient
snow fall locally both of them were familiar sights out In the Polk
county hills risking a bad spill riding the rough trails they'd formed.
Then came the trips to Mt. Hood, the working with top skiers
which Bill says Is the only way to make progress la the sport.
Won College Title
Bill progressed amaxingly and In 194Z. competing under the
colors of Oregon State, he won the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate title
at Yosemite. Calif. Came the call to colors and the Salem lad quite
appropriately found himself assigned to the 19th mountain division.
He served out the war in the Aleutian theatre, and at the same
time continued hard at perfecting himself for he had a growing
ambition to make the 1948 Olympics team. (What higher mark can
an amateur slatsman shoot at)
Bill threw himself vigorously Into competion after his army
discharge. His latest triumph was the Class A title In the Portland
day races at Mt. Hood a month ago.
This Sunday he aims to chalk up more laurels in the Northwest
open at Mt. Hood, which includes both downhill and slalom events.
A win here would bring the Salemlte one step closer to fulfilling
that Olympics ambition. Bill Is. however, particularly priming for
the national championships to be held In Utah March 1 and t.
which will have direct bearing on Olympic choices.
Fundamentals Important
Asked for any advice he might proffer beginning skiers. Bill
modestly retorts: "Don't try to learn everything in one day, get
the fundamentals first. And at every opportunity ski with those
who are GOOD at It"
"The most difficult phases of skiing T" Here are blonde-thatched
Bill's nominations: the high-speed turn and deep snow competition.
Incidentally, the local luminary spent a recent week at Sun
Valley where he worked the trails with some of the top-notehers
Including Gorgette Thiollire, European women's champ, whom he
terms "really good."
Any broken arms or legs In his career? Bill shakes his head,
grins knocks on wood. "Nw, Just a few sprains."
Good luck to you. Bill Bowes, and the whole town hopes you're
among those present when the Olympic squad sails for Europe
come next year.

EUGENE. Ore., Jan. 17-4V
Oregon St.ite's Beavers eamu
from behind tonight to move into
the lead of the Pacific Coast con
ference Noithern division basket
ball race by defeating the Ore
gon Ducks, 58 to 43.
It was the 16th win in 17 games
for the Beavers, and the fourth
straight conference victory. Com
bined with Washington's defeat at
the hands of Washington Stat
tonight, it put the Beavers atop
Pacilic Northwest standings.
Oregon State trailed in the
fust half, which ended 21-20, Ore
gon leading. But the Beavers ral
lied quickly as the second half
opened, moved into a three-point
lead within three minutes and
lengthened the margin from then
until the final gun.
At one point in the first half,
Oregon held a seven-point advan
tage, 20-13. but Alex Peterson
and Lew Beck of the Beavers
na rowed the gap in the final
three minutes of the period. Then
with the Beaveis dominating the
backboards, particularly Peterson,
who was high scorer with 17
points, Oregon State moved,
ahead. The Ducks were held
scoreless the first 4'i minutes of
the second period, while the Bea
vers ran the count to 27-21.
Little Stan Williamson led sev
eral short-lived rallies for tl.u
Ducks, but they never got with
in seven points of the Beaveia
j after that. It was the third loss
i in four tonfeience starts for Oie-
i gon.
The victory set the state tt
the Oiegon State-Washington sc
, ries in Seattle next weekend that
! possibly could determine the win-
ner of the conference lace.
