JUNEAU SKIERS BRING HOME THE ' CANADIAN BACON| {Seniors, Juniors Take Top Honors at Whitehorse Carnival Tourney Juneau skiers, both senior and “jg”, came home yesterday with plenty of silverware from the an-| nual meet at Whitehorse, but there is one more trophy they would like to see—that for hospitality, preter- | ably in platinum or stutf like that. “Those guys are the best sports in the world,” said one junior slat artist. “We absolutely cleaned them out, last year and we took all but tive cups this time, but you'd think we were doing them a great favor. You've never really seen hospitality until you've been up in the Yukon Territory. “What's more,” the high schooler said, “they don’t fool around with putting your name on a cup and letting you try to win it three times running. You wrap your trophy up in a ski sock, and send them the bill for engraving—they know you like to take that prize home with you, and look at it.” All-Around Trophy J-Hi Senior Edgar Lokken walked off with the trophy for high pomm' in all three events of the Winter Carnival Tournament. (Four were scheduled, but cross-country was: called off because of extremely cold weather and the delayed arrival of Juneau competitiors—also due to weather—and over the Whitehorse field, too!.) Judged by both distance and form, Lokken’s 73-foot jump was first in the senior men’s event, with Arne Anderson of the Yukon Ski Run- ners (Whitehorse), via Norway, sec- ond with 65 feet; Syd Poulton of the same club, third, and Dean Wil- liams, of the Juneau Ski Club, fourth. ! Lokken's points, which scored for! the three-way trophy, also were built up by second in senior men’s| downhill, and third in senior men’s! slalom. Lokken, who came from Norway several years ago, is over-age for| junior events, although he is a Ju- to in some | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA neau High School senior, so he had to be entered in the senior events —and proved himself of that level.

So it went, with Betty Tapley ot JHS and Madeline Perchie of the Yukon competition trading in two events, Betty besting her Whitehorse rival in the junior slalom event, and Madeline reversing the pro- cedure in the junior women’s down- j hill The following summary shows how the Juneau gang brought home { the Canadian bacon, winners being listed in order: Senior Men's Downhill: James Smith, secretary of the Rondell Ski Club; Lokken, and R.

Special “Pep” Flight Besides the folks at home, Juneau skiers had some active rooters both in Whitehorse and enroute. Pan American World Airways ran an a section to Flight 923 Satur- lay, so that the Juneau group could rive in time to participate in all ski events. ‘hat morning flight Saturday was m than a commercial run, as everyone was cheering for the skiers from Fred Dunn, District Traftic Manager who had arranged the ser to see the races.

Then, yesterday, on the return, the Fair- banks-Seattle flight became a jour- ney of triumph, with Capt.

And the trek was not over when the skiers landed at the Juneau airport.

The juniors were whisked to the High School gym, where they were cheered to the rafters. JHS Ski Assembly The Juneau Juniors were intro- duced by Richard (Itchy) Hansen, president of the student body, and cheered by everyone, led by cheer leaders Catherine Bavard and Dick Keithahn.
