Rude’s combined winning time for the downhill and two slalom runs was 4 minutes, 53.4 seconds. Though the number of competi- tors was trimmed Sunday by ad- verse weather, the day's slalom races were eye-catching and yell- provoking events, as is attested by a fair share of spectators who made |their way up the Douglas Island [Ski Trail to the Second Meadow and the Slalom Hill. About half+ a-hundred persons, including racers, | were on'band | events No Accidents Sunday Though the not-the-best snow conditions had developed two bro- ‘k(‘n legs during the week befove, there were no more than slight ac cidents terday. Vic Hardin, Clas B racer, took a twist that forced him out of the slalom competition, but he went down the trail under his own power. Other events on Sunday slalom program saw Bonnie Randall fin- ish in front of Class A Women, in both slalom and combined; to take the B. M. Behrends Cup, Mildred Fluck did likewise for the Women and Mary Thibodeau fin- ished as the only Junior combined competitor on the feminine side. Jimmie Trueblood was edged by Jerry Gucker in yesterday's Class B Junior Slalom, but went into the event with sufficient edge from the previous week’s downhill race to come out with the combined title after finishing third in the side- winding. The Ll.l‘,s B Men Junior and all Wome slalom events yesterday started about one fourth the way up the steepest pitch of the slalom slope. The Junior Class A started at the very top of the hill. All events finished at the tow house on the Second Meadow. Tentatively scheduled for next Sunday in the Ski Bowl are Senior |Men’s downhill ant slalom events for combined trophies.
