WHAT OTHERS THINK
Notes gleaned from other
papers:
Medford Mail-Tribune (Art
Perry's Smudge Pot): "The bb.
team has hied to Salem for the
state meet, where they have as
good a chance as any, and bet
ter than several. Take ruamatn
Falls, for instance. They have
everything that goes to make a
basketball champion, except, ac
cording to long tradition and
custom, they make the event
more social than athletic. They
are always predicted to go like
a house afire, but the house is
never on fire."
Salem Capitol-Journal (Eugene
game coverage): "The Klamath
Falls Pelicans, who always send
the tallest and rangiest gang of
basketball men to the state tour
nament, yet who never seem to
get very far in tough competi
tion, fell by the wayside Thurs
day afternoon as the Eugene
Axemen rode to a 45 to 34 de
cision" . . . The (Pelicans) did
a bit better in the final quarter
but it was a case of being 'too
few and too late'."
SKIPOURRI
An Associated Press item re
veals the first Oregon-wide high
school ski meet will be held on
Mount Hood on May 3. Twenty-
five teams are expected to enter.
What with rubber priorities, it's
too late to suggest the formation
of a ski group at Klamath Union
high school. But it's worth a
thought for the future . . .
. . . Monday is the deadline,
says another AP story, for ac
ceptance of entries in the Pa
cific Coast college four-way
ski tourney slated for Mount
Rainier the third week in
March. The U. of Washington
is the host school and the
meet is being sponsored by
the Rainier National Park
company in a national park.
We in Klamath Falls have
always been led to believe that
tournaments on any large
scale were against national
park policy. It would appear
that national park policy is a
flexible thing, designed to
meet the exigencies of the
moment and place. A mile
long permanent. J-bar tow has
also been planned for Rainier
and dropped for the duration
only because of material short
ages . . .
... Skiing for the comparative
few who were there Sunday was
excellent at Crater lake. New
snow, which threatened to be
come mushy at noon, dried out
in the afternoon under a brisk
wind and broken clouds. Trails
were in fair shape and the ski
club's big electric lift operated
all day . . .
. . . Alf Engen's combined
victory in the national slalom
and downhill at Yosemite this
weekend gave the affable Nor
wegian the last of about every
major tournament crown in
the country. Engen has been
famed for years as a jumper '
and cross-country skier and
holds the unofficial American
record in the yoomp.
When downhill and slalom
zoomed into popularity and
threatened to overshadow the
traditional jumping, Engen was
virtually the only old-timer to
make the switchover. He has
copped the national jumping
title several times and taken the
national four-way more than
once.
The Yosemite win caps 'cm
all.

King o'
Klamath Dog Sets
Coast Field Mark
' King o' Silver First to Win All-Age
Trials for Two Straight Years
ELLENSBURG, Wash., March 16 M3) King of Silver, male
pointer owned by John Kauffman of Klamath Falls, Ore., is
the Pacific coast all-age field trials champion for the second
time, first dog in the history of the event to repeat the feat.
Competing in an 18-dog field, the nine-year old canine re
peated a 1940 triumph when he was crowned here yesterday,
judges decided his performance was so excellent they named
no runner-up.
Cyclone Patsy, a pointer bitch owned by Harold Blake,
Camas, won first place in the derby Saturday but was not
awarded a championship.
Association members rejected a proposal by the Spokane
club to hold the 1943 championships there and decided to
continue here, meanwhile attempting to build the all-age purse
to $500.
Engen Wins National
Two-way Ski Tourney
Sun Valley Star Edges Martin Fopp;
Shirley McDonald Cops Women's Title
YOSEMITE, Calif., March 16 (P) Alf Engen, the old ski
master, is in again this time as national two-way combined
champion, downhill and slamon.
Coursing the- steep slants of Yosemitc's Badger pass in the
colors of the Sun Valley Ski club, Engen compiled an all-around
low score of 557 points. He failed to win either event. A tic
for second in the downhill was his best showing.
Yet his 557 was two points
better than the 559 run up by
Martin Fopp of Timberlinc
Lodge, Ore., who won the down
hill; 19 better than the 576 of
Sig Engl, Sun Valley, who took
the slalom by twice zigzagging
through the gates on the 700-foot
vertical descent in a total time
of 2:22.4.
Another among the tourna
ment's standout performers was
Barney McLean of Denver.
Fourth in the downhill and only
six-tenths of a second behind
Engl in the slalom, he finished
with a third-place 575 in the
open combined standings. He
was a shoo-in for the amateur
title, both his downhill and sla
lom runs being the best of any
in that division.
