For six sour minutes of the
first quarter Saturday, not one
of the full house of spectators
in the Vik villa would have bet
a plugged nickel on Salem's
chances against Roger Wiley's
Benders.
After Doug Rogers had
slipped in an over-the-shoul-der
shot to give Salem an
early 2-0 lead, there might as
well have been a lid clamped
over the hoop for the ensuing
few minutes as far as the Viks
were concerned.

Ski Meets Build Interest
In SpeedyWinter Sport
By LOT BULMUR .
Seattle, Jan. 23 U.R) The Pa
cific Northwest . . . snow ; . .
skiing ... all synonymous
terms.
With the University of Wash
ington picking off top spot for
the third consecutive year in
intercollegiate ski meet at Ross
land, B.C., recently, and various
sponsored ski schools in opera
tion, plus the world ski cham
pionship being held in Aspen,
Colo., and Lake Placid, N.Y.,
next month, skiing is getting
more and more the attention it
rightfully deserves.
Among the ski terms that will
be bandied about the next cou
ple of months are:
Slalom, pronounced slah-
lum, means "slow track." But
there is nothing slow about this
downhill race between narrow
gates. The gates are made by
sticking bamboo . poles into the
snow. Each gate is topped by
a flag to show the skier where
to go.
OF
Downhill is a race with no
gates, or with only a few wide
ly spaced. Much faster than the
slalom, it usually is skied "all
out by the racer. Winning
speeds often average more than
75 miles per hour. ,
Cross-country usually is about
seven to 11 miles long. The
least spectacular of the races, it
generally is the one which takes
the most skill and stamina.
Jumping is the spectacular ski
event which you see in the news-
reels. In this, the skier races
down a long approach, often
built on a scaffold, then leaps
into the air landing on a steep
hill below.
The world's record jump is
383 - seven - tenths feet, set in
Czechoslovakia. Distance is only
one of the four items which con
Meanwhile, the visting Bend
ers were hitting from all angles
to pile up a 10-3 lead after six
minutes.
Then the tide turned, with a
6-foot 4-inch wave named Rog
ers slashing down the Lava
Bears' lead bucket by bucket.
Rogers rolled in five consecu
tive points to whittle the mar
gin to 2 points, 10-8. The Viks
held their own until the end of
the first quarter, when they
trailed 13-12.
The early stages of the sec
ond quarter had all the ear
marks of a nip-and-tuck, dog-eat-dog
battle. The score was
knotted at 14-14, 16-16 and
19-19. Rogers was still doing
most of the work for Salem,
and before the evening was
over he was to account for
the neat total of 23 points.
From the 19-19 tie, the Vi
kings broke like Whirlaway in
the stretch. At halftime they led
28-20 and Bend never threat
ened in the final two periods.
Reserves took over for
Coach Harold Hauk's Salem
crew through most of the sec
ond half, and gave a credit
able account of themselves.
Layton Gilson, who turned in
a surprising 11-point perform
ance opposite Eugene earlier
in the week, showed the
home-town fans It was no ac
cident by firing in 8 tallies
against Bend.

tribute to a winning jump.
Judges also consider the skier's
approach, his form in the air and
his landing and runout.
Contrary to public opinion,
experienced jumpers are not
hurt nearly as often as downhill
racers even though a jumper
may reach a speed of 80 miles
per hour just before taking off.
Penalties are given in slalom
racing. If a skier misses a gate,
he gets a double penalty and a
certain number of minutes are
added to his time. A single
penalty, such as when only one
foot goes through a gate, brings:
a lesser time added.
Meets are called "four way,"
"three way," or "two yay" de
pending on the number of events
included.
Jumping and cross - country
are the so-called Nordic events
because skiers from Norway and
Sweden held all the records in
those events for many years.
Downhill and slalom are called
the Alpine events because skiers
from Switzerland, France, Ger
many, Austria and Italy are con
sidered specialists in them.

Madras, India, Jan. 23 (U.R)
Gertrude "Gorgeous Gussie" Mo-
ran, 26, the California tennis
player with the lace-trimmed
panties, said today the time and
place for her forthcoming mar
riage to A. J. R. Davenport, 27,
a British businessman, were un

a
"It's all too sudden," she ex
plained.
Gussie, whose lace-trimmed
panties brought her fame at
Wimbledon, Eng., said she did
not know whether she would be
married in Calcutta after the
Madras tennis tournament
in England after the Wimble
don matches.
But she said:
"I will not be giving up my
nationality and I will continue
to play for America in tennis
tournaments.

Davenport that he and Gussie
planned to live in Calcutta,
where Davenport is employed by
the P. and O. Shipping Co. Nich

prospective bridegroom, said he
had advised his son to wait six
months before marrying Miss

quality of Garden fights these
days and it was left to Johnny

sounded like a constructive sug
gestion . . . "Take that Paddy

last week," said Johnny. "It isn't
quite fair to stop a fight because
of a cut and take it away from
a boy who is leading . . . what if
it should be a champion and
he'd lose his title that way?
They have a rule in California
that they use sometimes and 1
think it should be adopted here

fight, they take up the cards
right away and if the boy who

draw. He doesn't get that TKO

The Nittany Lions came off
with a fairly respectable 34-21
victory on their home court at
State college, Pa., Saturday
night but only after sweating
through an embarrassing 5-0
halftime lead. The Panthers
froze the ball for nearly 18
minutes of the first half, not
taking a shot. They'll try it
again Wednesday when the
teams next play.
The "deep freeze" brought
varied comment.
"It was a lot of fun," said
Dr. II. C. Carlson, Pitt coach.
"We didn't mind the freeze;
we were ahead anyway," said
Penn State Coach Elmer Cross.
