OREGON March 21, 1040 hi (DDaolfo M Mdl Jwmf TWO-WAY MEET AT LAKE AREA TO DETERMINE GROUP CHAMPS The Crater Lake Ski club's first slalom and downhill cham pionships will be held on Sun day, March 31, at Crater Lake national park, it was disclosed Wednesday night. The organization, in their regular semi-monthly meeting, revealed that plans had been underway for the past two weeks, but that announcement was held up pending official ap proval Irom the park service. Sponsored by the ski group and with prizes donated by Matt Finnigan, the event will be open to all members of the club. Champions Crowned The tournament will see the crowning of three champions tne downhill winner, slalom, titlist and the combined king of Dotn events. Starting at 11 o'clock, the downhill race will be held on the face of Garfield mountain in the area known as the "Slide," located about a quarter of a mile above Government camp on the road to the rim. The slalom race, at the same site, is slated to get underway at 1:30 in the afternoon, and will be run in two heats, the winner to be determined by the best total time for the two stan zas. Prises Announced Matt Finnigan' announced Wednesday a gold cup will be awarded to the combined cham pion and gold, silver and bronze medals presented to the first three places in the separate events. The prizes will be on display by the end of the week. The ski club, in making the announcement, expressed the hope that the meet will inaug urate a series of annual tourna ments with the possibility of ex panding to a point to allow a greater1 division of competition. It was suggested that the slalom be split into expert and novice classes in order to give a greater number of skiers a chance at competition, but the idea was shelved until more experience at : tournament management could be garnered. Entries, it was decided, may be turned in to Matt Finnigan, or by calling any member of the meet committee Fred Schmidt at 1848-W, Bob Morrison at 1265-R or Bob Leonard at 1923-J. Jump Meet Cited The tournament is the Crater Lake club's first attempt at an organized meet and one of the first efforts to be made locally in the field of controlled ski competition.

Inasmuch as the organiza tion does not as yet belong to the Northwest Ski association, it was impossible to book meets with other clubs, so it was de cided to stage an intra-club tournament ' The coming championships are regarded as a forerunner to possible future inter-club tour neys.

Hogan Shatters PGA Golf Record PINEHURST, N. C, March 21 (U.R) Ben Hogan, a long driving, straight-putting Texan from White Plains, N. Y., Wed ncsday continued his onslaught on par and Professional Golfers association records by firing a flve-undcr-par 67 to lead with a two-day total of 133 strokes at the midway mark of the north and south open. Hogan was not content with tying tho course record In the first round with a smoking 68, but today came back with four birdies and an eagle to set a new PGA record for 36 holes of championship play. His nearest rivals, Summy Snead and Johnny Revolta, were four under par and seven strokes back in the 36-hole standings. Fred Corcoran, tournament manager for the PGA, said the 36-hole total of 133 not only was a new record for the " north south, but bettered the 133 set by Walter Hagon in qualifying rounds of the PGA champion ship. Byron Nelson, north-south de fending champion and notional open champ, fired a 130 for the first 36 holes In the Phoenix open last year, but this is not one of the five recognized cham pionships. Henry Cotton, the Britisher, shot a 132 back in 1933 in the British open.

March 31 WR) Lightweight Champion Lou Am bers, a master boxer, and Lew Jenkins, Texas knockout svnsa tion. were signed at Wednes day's commission meeting for IB-round title fight at Madison Square Garden, May 10. Promoter Mike Jurohs said Ambers will recelvo 40 per rent of tho net gate and Jenkins 20, He cxxct the bout to draw about 70,0U0. Ambers' manager, Al Weill, also pilots Arturo Godoy of Chile, the No. 1 heavyweight contender. Weill revealed that ho consented to the Ambers Jenkins match only after Jacobs guaranteed him verbally that Godoy would get a return tltlo shot with Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis In June or September. Jacobs denied ttiat he had guaranteed Weill a Louis shot for Godoy. But his denials were modified by his state ment: "The National Boxing as sociation made Godoy the No. 1 challenger. I didn't." The Ambers-Jenkins contract makes no provision for Jenkins to give Ambers a return crack at the crown In rase Jenkins takes tho title on May 10. This provision Is omitted because Ambers will retire from the ring It beaten by the Texan. The National Boxing assocla tion Is not expected to recognize the bout as for the tltlo because the association's No. 1 chal lenger Is Dnvey Day of Chi cago. The NBA probably will vacate Ambers' title and recog. nlze as champion the winner of a Dnvey Day-Rob Monk gomery bout at Philadelphia.
