LION-TAMING ! MOLLER GOLD CUP GOES TO RACE WINNE History of Prize for Down Trail Ski Champion of ! Southeast Alaska | 1 P Donation of a gold ioving cup, by | Dan Moller, ski enthusiast and charter meniber of the Juneau Ski Club, early in the season of 1935- 1936, the second season of the club’s existence, brought into being late in January, 1936, the first running of the Moller Cup Race, held an- nually since then by the Juneau Ski Club, guardian of the perpetual trophy. Tomorrow, the fourth running of the event, the race continues to be held over the original course, which has, however, been improved to al- low better times. The race starts approximately three and one-fourth miles from the Juneau to Douglas highway, by the skiers’ cabin at the head of the Douglas Island Ski Trail. The finish line is drawn across the trail one-fourth mile from the highway, at the foot of the sharp hill on which is located the ski jump. Championship Race The Moller Race is designated and accepted as being the cham- pionship race of its kind for all of Southeast Alaska, and each year draws entrants from other com- munities to compete against the skiers of Juneau and Douglas. In fact, so generally high has been the ' calibre of outside competition at- tracted, that not until 1938, the third running of the event, was it possible for a local skier to finish in front. The first Moller Cup Race saw nineteen racers toe the starting mark. All but three finished, with Al Bystrom, of Fairbanks, emerging the victor, followed in order by Sven Saren, of Juneau, and M. McAner- ney, another invading racer. By- strom's time for the event, nine minutes, 27 seconds, stood as the course record until 1938. Winner of the race in 1937, was Halvor Opsal, of Petersburg, who is a competitor again this year. Saren again placed second, with Dan Mol- ler himself taking third. Moller had been a courtesy entrant in the race each running until this year, when IMAGINE ! JUNIOR 2 = SN Smashes fo Bloo:ly Win Baby Arizmandi Tak-s Slashing thai Stops Fight in Eleventh | | SEATTLE, Feb. 25. — Larruping Lou Ambers, jitterbug with a jolt in both hands, topped the rugged little Mexican, Baby Arizmandi last night in eleven bloody rounds to clinch his right for a shot at the lifht- weight championship he once held. Before a disapproving crowd of more than 8000, Ambers gashed both of his rival's eyes so badly that .eferee Pete Hartles halted the battle. It was the first time in 13 years of campaigning that Baby failed to go the route. His face splashed with blood, the game little Mexican was sitting in his corner when the bout ended, a battered pulp of a pug. | The last four rounds of the mix were marked with agony for Baby, accentuated by terrific left smashes to his body. — e — BEER TEAM AND GROCERY QUINT TAKE VICTORIES Two bowling games at the Bruns- wick last night turned up some good matches. i Stacking up 500-plus counts in the first two games, the Rainier Beer eased out the Three Bullets via a two-to-one decision. A re- versal of form in the final game gave the losers a consolation win when Rainier dropped from 545 to 478. Sturrock of the under quintet garnered high individual honors with a 571.

They fell off in the next two and the Architects sneaked on top with a 728 and 785 team score. Best single performance W turned in by Duncan of the Drug gists, followed by teammate Hen- ning with 515. | Capturing the middle chapter by four pins, aided by the grace of a 41-pin spot, the Doctors made it two out of three against the Avia- tors. Best individual game was a whizzy 527 earned by Kegel of the Medicos. His performance topped a scoring range that had its bot- tom at 373 pins for individual match performances | Following are the scores of last night’s games: Architects perform- Ave. 10 10— 30 122 122—*366 175 135— 446 142 202— 132 160— 147 156— 10 122 136 157 193 132 (Spot) Mrs. Davlin Robinson Halm ‘Thibodeau Ramsay 122 149 §01 167/ 485 162 435 145 Totals kit 263 Druggists 173 128 137— 142 122 132— 184 170 161— 160 143 149— 232 154 185— 891 717 764—2372 438 396 515 452 571 146 132 172 151 190 Mrs, Soley Henning Stewart Duncan Taylor Totals Doctors 41 146 178 13 191 110 41— 195— 180— 171— 136— 470 118— 373 | 760 179 841—2380 Aviators ‘ 184 153 169— 506/ 161 155 464 136 163 410 189 168 504 151 136 437 821 15 — e (Spot) 123 Mrs. Faulkner Kegel Hurley Kimball Green 527 398 Totals Bloedhorn Wilson Sterling Hudson Ramsay ‘Totals 725—2321 ~in front and stayed there the bal-| Record Time Tn 1938, Saren, representing the Juneau Athletic Club, finally broke from his second place rut to win in new record time, eight mintues, 43 and % seconds. His teammate, Martinr Rian, placed second and Ed Enberg, of Petersburg, finished third. Saren will be in the race, defend-: ing his title, this year. Martin Rian will also be an entrant, as will former champion Opsal. Commencing with the second run- ning of the event, in 1937, the field of entries has been so large that a | division into A and B classes has proved necessary; the A racers com- peting for the Moller Trophy and the B racers for a cup presented by the Juneau Ski Club. The winner of the Gold Perpetual Cup also re- ceives a cup from the club for his permanent possession. Tourney Grows From the fir8t, there has grown, about the Moller Race a field of} other tourney events, including jumping and shorter trail races for boys, junior skiers, and for women. Each of these extra events has at- tracted considerable interest each | year. The jumping, in parnculnr,‘ has met with approval from spec- tators, while entries have been many for the other events. This season, the championship tourney has been extended to in- clude two additional events for men; a point-to-point downhill race over a nine furlong steeply-pitched course, and a slalom. The downhill event was run last Wednesday and the slalom is set for the first date that snow conditions are satis- factory. . Ralph Moreau, a Moller entrant, captured the downhill title Wednes- day, finishing over heavy snow in three minutes, two and two-fifths seconds. Saren took second in three minutes, eight and two-fifths sec- onds; Bill Hixon third, and Bert Caro fourth. Two other starters, Jay Williams and Lee Prescott were forced out by injuries. All the downhill competitors are figured for strong showings in this year’s Moller Race, CRIMSON BEARS | T0 MEET HAINES TONIGHT IN 6YM Visiting basketballers from the | last Haines High School arrived here yes- |terday on the gasboat Helen, will Rainier Beer | furnish opposition to the High School 174 179 157— 510‘reserve and High School varsity 182 202 137— 521 t;cflhml here tonight at the High 001 gymnasium, _1_“ 1_64 _“E_f’_l The first game between the Haines | Reserves and Crimson Bear Second | e > 4181930 | string will start at 7:15 oclock. | 163 172 160— 495 Main offering of the evening is 144 120 159— 423 ,carded for 8 o'clock. i 192 188 193— 571 The smooth working Bears, who EE have begun to click under the tuw-‘ T ... . lege of Coach Hautala, are scheduled | 499 478 512—1489 101 g workout in this game.
