1 rier Dave Hall late today came poling downhill into this mountain community with the blizzardy snow beneath his long spruce boards hissing like tearing silk His was a dual role today for not only was he carrying the mail but he is the newly elected vice president of the Al turas Snowshoe Club reac tivated Sunday during a meet ing in Brownsville west of here and 25 miles outside the snow belt The continuing storm which to day slowed snowshoe trek down to a point where he required nine hours to cover the 12 miles between here and Strawberry Valley his starting point on Sun day had prevented residents of La Porte from attending the gather ing and the new vice president de livered verbal reports to snow bound residents along the way great he asserted I really tried to make tracks Hall said he believes reactiva tion of the Alturas Club in its day the very first ski club eventually will result in world wide publicity and attract both winter and summer tourists to the old mining communities of Plumas and Sierra counties Centennial Year This is the centennial year of snow sports in La Porte where snowshoes were introduced in 1850 and their use soon spread to or ganized clubs and competition By 1860 an army of snowshoers what we call snowshoes they called trampers was spreading out from La Porte helping build up the west even in the severest winters The first regular ski club was 1 the Alturas of La Porte The first recorded European club was formed in Christiania (now Oslo) in 1877 and the historic Christiana Telemarken tournament began two years later 29 years after sk fever had hit the gold fields anc two decades or more following the first organized competition in America irst Ski Resort The first ski resort was the Union House in La Porte The i first ski lift was the chain bucket ride at the Plumas Eureka Mine and Sierra slat riders were Veteran Skier Brings News To Snowswept Sierra Town Oldest Group Re activated discussing the merits of the La Porte squat and Sierra lightning dopes 70 years eastern dudes began waxing up boards and arguing the merits of the rench and Arlberg techniques In the great snowshoe era few if any Americans had heard names ike Arlberg Davos and Kanda har But up in Plumas and Sierra counties hundreds were bringing their yellow dust to the circuit races in La Porte Onion Valley Washington Hill Poker lat Port Wine and other High Sierra stops In that age of gold it was a bearded Yankee from Skowhegan Maine who won and held the first downhill championships Isaac rancis Steward came to pan for gold but instead found wealth in the silvery snow It was he who helped found the Alturas Snow shoe Club in short made skiing an American sport Rufus Bean of Clipper Mills is president and in adition to Hall directors are Mrs Elizabeth Mer ian American House Lawrence Conger Bangor Lou Livermore Challenge John A Bean Straw berry Edwin Nieland Bangor loyd Bragger Strawberry and rank Reilly Al Primeau and Dick all of La Porte

Segura and Riggs display the talent which has made them the headliners in the professional net world And we aren using the Word lightly Their records in national and international play which we are presenting further along in this column bear out the contention that the which local citizens get a gander at tomorrow night tops them all This Reno appearance is not an exhibition Jack Kramer world champion in 1949 is playing his new challenger Pancho Gonzales last national amateur in a lengthy series This has stretched not only from coast to coast but in Europe as well they tangled in London and Paris last week Were Kramer and Gonzales to pop up here with equal records be less enthusiastic This is not one of those win tonight here and you win tomorrow there campaigns If seen the results from New York and other points of the tour noted that going all out every time and Kramer has consistently emerged the winner Gonzales is the coming star in pro tennis and Kramer acknowledged kingpin cannot afford any setbacks to his prestige As we said before be skeptical of something like an 8 8 record between the two and the fact that Kramer consistently turns back his challenger is proof that they re shooting the works in each appearance The matches are to be held in the University of Nevada gymnasium which should be large enough to accommodate all interested fans and also give the players room for maneuvering Big Bill Tilden several years ago put on a satisfactory showing in the old campus gym a comparative crackerbox Interest in western Nevada as well as Reno itself seems to be mounting and advance ticket sales at Southworth and are reported satisfactory But worry about not being able to find a seat the gym holds between 3500 and 4000 spec tators and late arrivals have any trouble getting a vantage spot 1 Now for the proof of the opening statement that this is the staters greatest net attraction and the principals are the very best Let look at the record: ac Jack

par ticipated in three Davis Cup matches: doubling with Joe Hunt in 1939 losing to Jack Bromwich and Adrian Quist of Australia in 1946 Kra mer dumped Bromwich and Dinny Pails in the singles doubled with Ted Schroeder to take Bromwich and Quist in 1947 he again swept singles from Pails and Bromwich dropped doubles with Schroeder to Bromwich and Long Entering play for play ex Nevada resident (Las Vegas schoolboy) Kramer captured the pro singles honors in 1948 and became world champion last year also teaming with Pancho Segura for the doubles crown Pancho Gonzales This comparative newcomer hit headlines in 1948 when he captured the singles A clay court Western and Pacific Southwest championships And he jumped from 17th rank ing in 1947 to first place the next year Last year was the big gest for young Gonzales however His championships included singles A clay court Pacific Southwest National Indoor Newport Los Angeles Metropolitan La Jolla Invitational Pennsyl vania State And in Davis Cup play he won his singles matches from Pancho The Ecuador product who features the two handed tennis grip was national intercollegiate champion in while attending Miami took the A indoor crown in 1946

and 1945 Bobby Riggs Promoter of the pro tour Riggs is by no means out of the playing picture either and he may take part in doubles here tomorrow night This colorful little veteran was singles cham
