Littlp Cardener lake east of Mcaford hummed with activity today as water skiers from num erous Pacific coast localities got in their final practices for the first annual Oregon State cham pionships. The tournament, aimed at building interest in the sport in tlie state as well as determining championships, opens on Satur day morning and continues through Sunday. More than 80 entries are expected. Held under sanction of the American Water Ski association, the meet is a combined one with both AVVSA events and ncvice rivalry in slalom, trick riding nd jumping contests. Since the meet is "open." out-of-staters can contend for the crowns. Many top skiers from the west coast compete. A particularly large delegation from Sacra mento, Calif., is to enter. Entry probably will include more than 50 in the AWSA com petition among the more exper ienced slat artists and some 30 novices from the southern Ore Ion area.

Tourney events each day brgin at 9 a.m. Slalom conten tion opens the meet and trick riding wil start about 3:30 p.m. Saturday, carrying .over into Sunday. Jumping, said to be the most thrilling part of the tour nament from a spectator's stand point, concludes the meet. It starts about 1:33 p.m. Sunday. In the slalom the tow boat goes straight down the course and entrants swing back and forth to round six buoys. Sixteen points are possible for a success ful run over the course. To carry on eliminations, boat speeds are increased on successive runs. If no winner is yet decided, the rope is shortened, making the rounding of buoys more diffi cult. Men's class tow speeds start at 26 miles per hour and other classes at 24 and range up to 34 mph. In trick riding contestants are awarded points on the tricks they do in a 20-second pass over the course. There are some 34 types of tricks listed in the rule book and grading depends on the de tree of skill required and the difficulty to perform the stunt. In the jump entries are judged en both distance and form. Men's class entrants will in clude John Godfrey. Vancouver. B.
