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. Exact total of entrants
won't h known until the tour
ne is just about underway.
Starts al a.m.
There will be men's, women's,
terans. boys, girls and pee wee
clashes. 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.
