MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25 l 946 fOM STEWART WINS MOLLER CUP SKI RACE Rude Edges Out Hunter &s Juniors Hit Day’s Fastest Clip Juneau Ski Club President, ex-ski trooper Tom Stewart took the Mol- ler Gold Cup off the shelf Sunday by a clear-cut victory in the Senior Men’s Class A race, feature event of yesterday's ski racing program and highlight of the local ski sea- son. Though Stewart's time—3 min- utes, 44 seconds—for the approx- imately one-mile course, was un- challenged by other competitors in the Senior division, it was ho ever, closely pressed—if not better- ed—by two Juneau High School lads who finished one-two in the Junior Class A race. The Juniors ran a course approxi- mately 40 yards shorter than that cruised by the Seniors and Jim Rude, Junior winner, covered the slightly shorter distance in 3 min- utes, 40.6 seconds. Buddy Hunter, runner-up in the Junior event, was timed in 3:41.2 Other Winners Front finishers in the four other events on Sunday's race program were: Senior Men Randall. Junior Men (Class B)—Jim- mie Trueblood Women (Class Randall. ‘Women Evans. In the Class B Women's event was a race within a race. Two of the competitors wers also running as the only Junior Women's en- trants. Mary Thibodeau, finishing third in the “B”, captured a sec- ond medal for taking the Girls’ race frem Pat Oakes. Timely Snow Timely snow, falling on the heels of a Saturday night of pouring rain, lifted skiers’ spirits from gloom to gladness yesterday. By noon, enough new snow had fallen to as- sure good—though slow—racing ‘The Douglas Island ski trail, ice- sheathed during the early part of last week and considered “just race- able” upon examination Saturday, had its hazards hidden by the last minute snow to such extent that more than two score racers of vary- ing degrees of proficiency compet- ed without a personal accident. Some competitors dropped skis un- der the pressure of speed but came out unharmed; only time lost. Fred Wolf, competing in the Class B Senior Men’s face was the only en- trant who failed to finish. A brok- en binding set him on the sidelins Petersburg Team | A team of four racers from Petersburg, three men and one wo-| man, added an inter-city flavor to four of the events on Sunday's program. Burger Rian, veteran of | many years of jumping and racing | competition in Pacific Northwest ski centers, competed for the Mol-| ler trophy, which has been won by | riders from the shrimp capital in previous years. Rian made a strong bid to again take. the big gold pot back to Petersburg, finishing in the | No. 4 spot. His son, Burger, Jr.,| was the No. 5 finished in the Jun-| ior division Class A race. | Andrew Wikan, one of Peters-| burg’s ‘“old country skiers,” now well past the mid-century mark, made his threat in the Class B race for Senior Men, finishing in fifth place. | Competing in the Class A Wo- | (Class B)—Ralph A)—Bonnie (Class B)—Dorothy men’s race was Petersburger Danny | Treadwell ditch and ran approxi- 2eau Lodge No. 147 Mondayv eve- Snyder, who captured the third-! 'prize medal in that event. Saturday aboard a halibut boat pi- loted by the owner, Martin Enge.!Men's race started on Slalom Hill| approximately 50 feet above Junior Also in the party, but not compet-| ing in the races were Andrew Wu-‘ kan, Jr., and a Petersburg school teacher. ' Dhmer Last Eve | ccJ—0D,0... ms?* ... The host Juneau Ski Club emer- tained its out of town guests Sun- day evening at a dinner in the Baranof Hotel. Though impromptu, the dinner in honor of the Peters- 'burg racers was well attended. More than a hundred spectators braved yesterday's adverse weather for onlookers and were treated to spills galore as well as some ex- cellent skiing. 8he spectators pick- ed vantage points lining the course from the last steep “chute” pitch down to the finish line at the lower end of the cleared area at the !oot of the jump hill. Thrilling Program Sunday’s events, run off on the' dot and following each other in, close order, made for a highly entertaining and thrilling pmgramI that was voted by most onlookers; to be one of the best ski wurneys ever run off here. The wind- -up! of the Moller race was followed by| some exhibition jumping, but yes-| terday's sticky snow—though a life saver Lo the race events-was far| from made to order for jumping, and the jump was in no condition to permit distance attempts. The big, regular take off, with its steeply-pitched in-run was consid- ered to offer too much hazard. In- stead the snow was piled to give a small lift just at the crest of the landing slope and the half-dozen soaring experts who put on the displa contented themselves with leaps ranging between 20 and 30 feet as they concentrated on ex- hibiting jumping form. Chief plaudits of the crowd were earned by -leapers Andrew Wikan and Burger Rian, Sr. Others tak- ing turns at the jump were Burg- er Rian, Jr., Dean Williams, Hunter and Leon Alexander. Trophies Captured >sides the Moller Gold Cup won ewart, trophies taken in Sun- s meet were: Juneau Ski Club cup to Senior Men's @ ner; Ski Club Cup to second-place finisher in Men’s Senjor Class A race; medals to third place in Sen- ior Class A for men, to second and third place Men's Senior Class B and to first, second and third places in all other events except Junior Women's. The winner only in the Girls' race is to receive a medal. In all divisions except Senior Men's cups are set up for best com- bined downhill and slalom showings, with yesterday’s event counting as the downhill portion of the com- bined competition. Next Sunday, slalom races for Junior Men and for Women are to be staged at the Second Meadow, following which the Junior High Sthool Cup will be awarded to the entrant with the best ,combined showing among Juniors and the B M.
