Portsmouth Herald Photo Norman McRae When scores of Portsmouth ski jumping fans watch the Eastern Amateur Ski Association cross'coun- try and jumping championship competitions at Gilford on Saturday and Sunday, March 2 and 3, they have hopes of seeing a member of the Ski club make the top brackets in the jumping contests. Portsmouth's entry in the competition is Norman McRae, member oi the -local, ski club, whose application was. filed in the ski meet by John McDonough, club secretary.

Although it will be only the second time for a year that McRae has competed on skis his record of last weekend at Berlin indicates that he will do some top-notch jumping at the Belknap Mountains re'creation ar.ea. At Berlin during the national championship competitions McRae made two outstanding jumps of 158 and 173 feet, respectively. This was the first time he had been jump-. ing since last year at Gilford but his form was first class and with the past weekend practice behind him his chances Gilford are very good. The youthful Jumper plans to leave Portsmouth early Saturday, remain at Laconia after the preliminaries and be ready Sunday for a fresh start in the 'finals will make his bid for the Eastern Amateur Ski association jumping championship of 1940..
