T FOR INAUGURAL Off to an exceptionally popu lar start, the new Medford Ice Arena at the end of South Holly street today faced two more days of its four-day inaugural celebra tion before any one of the man agement can stop for breath. ' Since opening of the big arena Saturday, the place has been jammed by skaters and spec tators and yet the largest crowd is expected tomorrow when all of southern Oregon will be enter tained here by the American Le gion's observance of Armistice Day. The parking space at the arena, thought to be ample be fore the doors were opened to the public for the first time Sat- j urday, has proved entirely in-1 adequate and autos have been left in every available space for blocks around. j Saturday night there was such a Jam that persons trying to get ' in formed a line blocks long. I Finally the big side doors, in- i tended for exits, had to be thrown open to let the crowd In. Once skaters and spectators got inside, however, they found am ple room for the arena will seat 2,000 persons comfortably and ' the rink itself is 185 feet long and 85 feet wide. A special floor show by cham-: pion amateur skaters from the Seattle Figure Skating club is being given each night of the four-day inaugural celebration. The show will be given once to night, about 9 o'clock, and twice tomorrow night during the two skating sessions which will run from 7:30 to 9:30 and 10 to mid night. The floor show proved a big attraction at the first two eve nings of the opening celebration. Sebastian Apollo was organist last night for the floor show, as well as for the general skating. ! Lael Peters, 11-year-old star of the Seattle club, was given an ovation for her grace and skill j as she demonstrated some of the feats that brought her the west ern states Juvenile championship , at Colorado Springs last winter. Dainty and petite, the little girl looked like something from fairyland as she performed on the huge rink. Dorothy and Ralph Beymer, northwest senior pair champions, gave an exhibition of beautiful rhythmic motion as they present ed two dance numbers on skates. This handsome young couple re ceived runner-up honors in the national championships at Bos tor, last year. A pair of youths from the Se attle club, Kenny Spence and Bobby Morrie, presented two comedy acts that put the crowd Into an hilarious mood and brought them thunderous ap plause. Sparky Bourque, manager and professional at the arena, pre sented a fancy number that illus trated the skill and agility that took him to MGM in Hollywood in 1937 to do a skating short, this venture into motion pictures changing him from an amateur of the Seattle club to a profes sional. He held several records with the club. One skater, who wished to re main unidentified, suffered a wrist injury yesterday. It was the sole mishap In two days of crowded skating. PIANISTS IN CRASH Tacoma, Nov. 10 W Mario Braggiotti, 36. and Jacques Fray, 38, nationally known piano team, escaped with minor in juries after an automobile acci dent on the Roy-McKenna high way last night, the state patrol reported today.
