Ski Stems and Turns Some years ago there was a plan, suggested to have the Capital moved some 50 miles north in the Gatineau Hills. If this plan was revived it would have the support of some 20,000 ski-ers who are beginning to figure Ottawa has moved out of snow belt and some drastic measures will have to be taken. Actually conditions in the vicinIty of Old Chelsea are good.

Louis Grimes, Ottawa ski-er, made special trip to Camp Fortune yesterday in order to secure first-hand report on the prospects for this week-end. He advises there is two inches of light snow over hard surface and this is sufficient to provide good ski-ing. Ski-ers will be interested in knowing that the pretty young lady in the ski-ing costume on the cover of the current Issue of McLeans is Freda Nichol, popular member of the Ottaws Ski Club. The Frank Ault Trophy competition which was originally scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed until February 4. This will give the high school ski-ers chance to get in little extra practice for what is considered the major competition for interscholastic downhill and slalom racing.

Donnie Runge, one of the most popular ski-ers in the city, leaves on Sunday, for a year's sojourn in Philadelphia. His many friends rill join in wishing Donnie, who one of the hardest workers interests of the Ottawa Ski Club, good luck in his new venture. The Alec West Trophy will be at stake in the Ottawa Ski Club's downhill and slalom championships to be held at Camp Fortune on Sunday. The Cote du Nord, which will be, closed on Saturday, is to be used for the downhill race and the slalom will be run off on Travellers Hill. Competitors are asked to report John Taylor the lodge before 12.00 noon, the downhill is scheduled for 12.30.

The entry fee is 10 cents and competitors must be in possession of zone cards. The number of entries in the slalom race will be restricted, depending on the size of the entry in the downhill. The new oak slalom flags which stand six feet a above the snow will make their initial appearance on Sunday and the competitors would do well to avoid any collisions with these hardwood poles. Lady ski-ers from the Norland and Ottawa clubs will get in practice races this -end. With exceptionally keen competition expected in the ladies' Dominion meet to be held at the Seigniory Club in February the girls in Ottawa will spend busy month training for this important event.

With fast track expected on Sunday the old record for the Cote du Nord will Mkely be broken. The top part of the course has been slightly altered to provide a straight run into the first schuss and this is bound to cut several seconds off the time. It will be the rest of the Meld against Joe Oliver who has only lost one race on this bill in the past three years. The will hold a rally Dome Hill on. Sunday, Ski-ers will meet at the end of the Wrightville car line at 11 a.m.

A lom race will be held and if the big hill is too icy one of the nearby slopes will be used. Smiths Falls Skips To. Play Ottawa Rinks SMITHS FALLS, Jan. 18. -(Special) -Meeting in regular weekly session last night, officers and members of the Smiths Falls Curling Club named J.

There's noticeable "upping" in the outlook around Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens ever since the Leafs purchased Bucko McDonald from Detroit Red Wings which ago.

DOWN AROUND DETROIT they're toasting blond Roy Giesebrecht today. The sports writers may tagging him "K.O." Giesebrecht, but it can be hoped it will be something more original, because that one has been going around so long that they should retire it on pension. The youngster has been in recent games the David among the Goliaths of the N.H.L. Sunday he fired home the goal that turned back Toronto Maple Leafs and put two valuable points into the sparsely lined coffers of the Wings. Then against Rangers he shot the goal that broke up a three-all tie.

Continuing this work, Giesebrecht will come on for plenty of consideration when the selectors get around to the chore of picking the prize rookie of the year. At the moment there are three fledglings who have claimed their share of the limelight, Roy Conacher, Frank Brimsek and the slim product of Pembroke. Giesebrecht had a season here with St. Malachy juniors. Then he returned to Pembroke and was their ace in their bid for Memorial Cup honors which created more hockey excitement along the banks of the Upper Ottawa than they'd known since the pros used to carve each other down in that section.

HART'S PREDICTION COULD CECIL HART was quoted yesterday as saying that his lowly Canadiens would make the playoffs yet. Perhaps Hart was inspired by the faith that moves mountains, and on the record there are a half dozen of them in the way of his club. Maybe he was merely talking with the confidence that hockey managers always show as long as their team is still in the league, thereby forming a contrast with football pilots who can never see their clubs winning a tough game, much less title. But regardless of what was back of Hart's declaration he, or it might be a lot more accurate to say his hired hands, wasted no time in striking the Arst blow to bear out his prediction. They toppled Boston Bruins in Montreal, and if that wasn't a gesture of defiance at the fates that have been riding them it will do until they deliver better one.

True, they won by only a single goal, but they handed that pasting to the team that's leading the league by four points. And that goal they got against Frank Brimsek is about the equivalent of three or four against any other net-minder in the league in the light of how he's been going. Wilt Cude showed the fans that while Brimsek may be a sensation he's no wooden figure, himself, between the posts. MONEY ROLLS IN FOR SONJA. OF ALL THE ATHLETIC CELEBRITIES, male income or tax female, who have time! helped swell Uncle Sam's coffers when return came-around, Sonja Henie has been far and away the largest contributor.

Not gladly, because there's nothing this diminutive wegian girl likes more than making money, and nothing she dislikes more than parting with it. And her business acumen is something that has astonished it it didn't stun most people that she's had dealings with. But the gal's earning power is something tremendous and there aren't any signs of it slackening off. The current edition of her Hollywood Ice Revue is an example of how the money rolls in. Her present tour ends in Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.

It began in Hollywood, November 1, and it played to 58 audiences in 12 cities before reaching New York. With prices ranging from $4.40 top to $1.10 minimum in arenas accommodating 8,000 to 20,000 persons, it should have grossed more than a million dollars before it arrived in New York. Including the Madison Square Garden engagements, where crowds of 14,000 to 16,000 have been seeing performances all week, and with the house a certain sell-out up to Saturday, the season's gross should go above $1,600.000. SELECTING SKATING MADE NO MISTAKE. SONJA gets $5,000 for each performance and it isn't surprising how many fond mothers with an eye to the future are buying daughters figure skates and entering them in clubs while they're at the kindergarten age.

The tour included 64 performances, so figure out what her art, her world championships and, before them and since, her hours of practice under a stern but far -seeing parent are worth to her. In addition, Miss Henie plays in two motion pietures a year, hav. ing already been in four since turning professional. For each one she is reported to be paid some $200,000. Gene Tunney got nearly million dollars for his second bout with Jack Dempsey.

In his time, Dempsey didn't do so badly himsell. Joe Louis knocks off about three-quarters of a million year, but his managers cut in for sizeable chunk, whereas what Sonja Henie collects belongs to no one but herself. The comparison with athletes isn't precisely a proper one. She paved the way to her fortune as a competitive figure skater, but Sonja Henie is an actress now, even if her art all woven on a pair of blades. But when she did select a sport to excel in she made no mistake.

Cude Sensational In Montreal Victory Johnny Gagnon Scores Only Goal of Bruising Battle- -Canadien Netminder Suffers Gash in Forehead. FORUM, Montreal, Jan.
