Newspaper Page TextBy WES GUDERIAN In those days of personalized reporting, we of the sports de partment have decided not to be outdone. Yep, something new has been added. From now on in our occasional stint we shall include a photographic likeness of your favorite we hope fireside sports chatterer on the right hand side of this column. Today we shall do our little bit on Ice skating, which due to gas-rationed skiing seems to be occupying a major portion of the winter sports enthusiasts time. We, personally, have tried this invigorating method of reduc ing the waistline and can vouch for and exceed any story of ice fkating prowess especially" When it comes to recounting the numerous times we hit the ice with various parts of our an atomy. Favorite skating spots about the city are a pond south near the Great 'Nortncrn tracks, the Upper lake, the city skating pond across the road from Moore park, and another pond on the highway north of Peli can City at Wo cus flat Rabbit flat to the old timers. Guderian These skating ponds, with the exception of Upper Klamath lake which is acknowledged to be dangerous to the skater un initiated in the ice-destroying work of hot springs, have their particular virtues. Our personal attention has been brought to the Wocus pond, which is safe, smooth and large enough for any normal crowd. The Great Northern pond is larger than the Wocus pond, but not quite so esthetic, and the Moore park pond is good, but should the ice even get thin, a person would get quite a bath. Dave Bridge issues the usual winter warning concerning skat ing on the Upper lake a warn ing always ignored by the dead. The ice is good, but there are warm springs which make it thin in spots, and give many an unsuspecting skater his last Data in 30 feet of semi-warm water. Stay off the Upper lake if you want to stay saie. Monday night on the Wocus pond, onlookers watched as pretty a bit of figure skating they had ever seen without pay ing $2.50 (including tax) per seat. Joyce Neison, iigure skaCer par excellence, couldn't stay ofx the ice any longer. She cut fig ure eights, douole threes and other fancy capers including jumps and spins to the amaze ment of her watchers. Joyce tells us sne learned her figure skating in Minneapolis, Minn., under A. C. Bennett and bis daughter, Margaret Bennett, who cut capers with the 1938 Olympic team at Lake Placid, N. J. . ' t"- ' In national tests, ' of which she has passed three, Joyce says they count two-thirds and only one-third on ability to do jumps and spins. After hearing reports of her demonstration iVionaay night, we are going to try for some action pictures of her Sunday if the ice holds. - - As we started to set this, a boy handed us this telegram: "Harlem Globetrotters, 1940 Bowling Is Game in Which Youngster's Can Excel and Gain Feeling of Accomplishment .V y ' r . . v. y.

Bowling is a great conditioner for youngsters. They must have an outlet. Despite the excellent physical fitness programs now in operation, schools can't possibly give all of them all the exercise and sports they need and want, Neither can all youngsters be- come star baseball, football or DasKetbau players.

After the Ber lin Olympics, he says, the sport spread like wildfire in the Bal tic states and that Europeans were greatly impressed by Amer ican ways of coaching and the sportsmanship of American play ers . . .

This hus caused vurlous persons con cern from thnu to time, but It finally has fired at least unu man to action. Bob Stedler, veteran sports editor of the Buffalo (N.Y.) Evening News, opened a forimil campaign this week to bring about the election of his follow townsman, James J. (Jimmy) Collins, famous third baseman of tho 1890s and early lUOOs. In the opinion of Stedler, who has been writing sports for four decades, tho comparative youngsters who are now writing baseball and whose votes select tho stars for places in the hull of fnmo, should have someone call their attention to tho merits of a standout whom they never saw. Thero being no logical objec tion to this, he has circularized all members of the Baseball Writers Association of America in recent days to point out Col lins.
