over the weekend Although the Upper Peninsula is known for its hockey, Escanaba has been left in the background in recent years as other areas take advantage of beautiful indoor facilities to their youth programs. The Escanaba Area Junior Hockey Association has worked long and hard in the past couple of years to renew hockey interest in the area, and that work paid for its first notable dividend over the weekend The Squirt team won both starts for the title, and did it impressively against two Wisconsin teams Making the victory all the more impressive is the fact the local sextet had no ice to practice on during the week due to the warm weather Instead they opted for a session on the tile floor at the Wells Township Hall to work on paaaes, and did some running to keep in shape for the gruelling tourney. Now if we can ever get the final approval for construction of the indoor rink at the U. P. Fairgrounds, our local youths can get in a decent amount of skating time that will better enable them to compete on an equal level with teams from the U.

P. and Wisconsin The Upper Peninsila girls are spending the week in Alaska, which might seem like a long trip just to get in some additional winter sports activity But that is not the case for Kim Collins of Gladstone and Melissa Papworth of Houghton, who left Sunday to compete in the North American Junior Alpine Ski Championships Collins will compete in the national junior downhill finals in the elite division, while Papworth will compete in the slalom and giant slalom Papworth, by the way, was named to the Detroit News all- state ski team for the third straight year Saturday. She was joined on the first team by her freshman teammate Trish and Marquette teammates Janet Hopkins and Cynie Cory. Ann O'Brien of Houghton was named to the second team and Sue Nara of Houghton made the honorable mention list. On the boys all state team, John Greifer of Marquette and Mike Premo of West Iron County landed second-team slots and Bill Bowman of Kingsford received honorable mention The Houghton Mining Gazette pointed out last week that the route currently being followed by Papworth and Collins, I was also the one taken in previous years by such notables as eventual Olympic ski team members Barb and Chuck Ferries and Mary Seaton.

Also still is the wintertime news is wrestling and basketball. although there will be iess and less mention of these sports as we gear up for such sports as track, golf, tennis, baseball and softball. Escanaba senior Tom Schneider, recently named the co- most valuable wrestler with Steve Harris of the U. P. champions, finished third in an invitation state meet.

Subbing for the Class state champion, Schneider lost his first bout to Paul Clarke of Detroit Country Day, the Gass champion, by a 6-2 score. He then beat Gass champ Mark Riegle of Dundee 5-4 to take the third place trophy. He wrestled in the 119-poupd division in the Monroe trophy. In basketball, coaches Dave Hallgren of Negaunee and Steve Millard of Bergland were selected coaches of the year in Class and respectively, by the Michigan High School Basketball Coaches Association. And also from the hardwood comes news that former Escanaba star Paul Miller has received a vote of confidence as Stephenson High School basketball coach from members of the booster club, fellow coaches, basketball players and parents.

The board of education acknowledged the support and agreed to renew his contract to an additional year of probation. The Eagles won only five regular season games in Miller's two-year reign In a final basketball note, one Upper Peninsula eager earned first-team all-state laurels from the Detroit Free Press this year. He is John Vercoe of Negaunee, who was the leading vote-getter in Class C. Norway 's Al Kimichik in Class and Dave Dupart of North Central in Class were on the third team, while Bill Rivest of Dollar Bay was fourth team in Class and John Schaut of Marquette made the sixth team in Gass A Among the players receiving honorable mention were Rick Berger and John Pistulka of Manistique and Kevin Miller of Big Bay de Noc Also in that category were Scott Applekamp of Bergland, Norway's Dave Kimichik, Keith Laabe of Newberry, Dave Maslanka of Ironwood, Mark Olsen of St. lgnace.
