Olympic Jump Champion Is Holder Of Princeton Hill Record; Is Coming Back Here I DRINCETON may not have 1 made good its b d to produce an Oympic ski champion, but though it (did not know it then, it had one—for a day. Arnfinn Bergman won the Olympic jump ttle for Norway. Though you probably did not associate it. you read that name • • * fn these columns just about a<* year ago. This was the same Bergman who set a new record for the big Princeton hill. And that jump of 242 feet was considerably better than the one that won him the Olympic crown.

Of coutse such things as style ( which nobody understands ) count with distance at the erudite Olymp'cs, bat it is nice to know that the O vmpic champion did better right here. • • Bergman came out Norwegian team to eyent at Lake Placid in toured after that and came to enterprising- Bergman stayed there rled a local girl.

JUMPS PRINCETON HILL SCOPE! -~—-it Expert Points Prescription -Cz l>RINCETON'S big hill could be one of the finest in the world, with average jumps of 200 feet more safely than now, and a possible of nearer 300 ft., says s competent oustider. But i can' be srooiled: and some of the "improvements" have done more harm than good. ./The wntroversial knoll is Of course the difficulty. But he would not dig, he would filll, JUDICIOUS JOB The present takie-off is designed to clear the knMl. But, he says, it takes the. jumper too high and toe far out. He lands at an* awkward angle. The hdl is steeper below the knoll. The takeoff must be steepened and extended to conform more with that angle. This will give speed to clear the bump, but not Landing has always been dangerous altitude, graphic study shows that when the jumper touches down he is nearly bent backwards. The steeper the hill the safer. It reduces the impact on landing and makes long jumps safe and easy, he savs. At the Princeton hiW there is ample roem at the bottom for the fastest runout. Jump'ng more in line with the pitch of the h;ll would give a longer jump. • More Improvements Still For Big Hill THERE'S still plenty to do on * Princeton's bif hill. A lot has been done—and the hill record has c'-mbefl to 242 feet, and Olvmpic trials are another reward. The hill has now beeni developed to its distance limit, say the planners but for safe long jumps the landing- win have to be doubled to a standard 60 ft. A judging stand is needed, wall ed with mirrors, so Jimmy wi« kriow what he Is doing.

Where in primitive times we drew from as far as Winnipeg, for the first lime ever there was not an outside entry. And the local crop was pretty thin And only a handful of home folk saw what has been a spectacle. There are ample explanations- but they don't make success. It is a challenge to hard work.

Noel customarily has a bad habit of outjumping the hill. It's just about Noel's only bad habit, anfl if after 17 years of hard slogging he leaps to the top, wel', it couMn't happen to a nicer guy. Princeton-born and bred, he is one of the Amber originals who have carried the fame of this l'ttle hill town to the corners of the ski world, and set the stage for the youngsters who Can now outdo him. Noel, was eight when "Pop" Irwin, in a characteristic grouch set out to show the experts that our own kids could beat 'em. He packed them into h's truck anfl out to the wilds where they hacked out a hill. He patched their skis with old tobacco tins of his favorite brand. The brand is now defunct, but in skisport fit is forever Amber. ! And "Mom" rubbed their bumps and soothed away their tears and "Pop" re-charged their spirits with his famous coffee brew anfl sent 'em out to fall aga'n. And that's the secret of Amber's spectacular success — more honors in skisport than any comparative lovn anywhere. SKI FAMILIES Noel was one of the first to vindicate Pop's theory. With his own Bertie and Billy and Ethel "n the va a, Amber began to creep into the honors—then to corral them. And Noel was mostly second fiddle. In 1946 Bertie and Billy Irwin were pVked for Canada's Olympic team at Davos. Noel was picked as alternate, and stayed home, though he had surprisingly won the Canadian four-way title the previous year. And in the absence of the stars he won he Western Canada crown at Banff. No^l is a tr'er. Six-foot anfl husky. he lays no great claim to • style, starved of the asset of expert coaching. But he jumps for distance and is a crowd- pleas e»r At Leavenworth two vears ago he outjumped world- famous s<ars with 225 feet. He is a capable a'1-rounder, but the ump is his forte. Two years ago he left to work ?t K'mberley. but Princeton still itaims him—affectionately known Polar Bear. COMING CUBS At 25, and a veteran, he has j shared with the Irwins almost I every Canadian honor, and no one more than his old pals wish- js him well in his twilight bid. He still claims Princeton as ; home— and is srenerally outvied on his visits by i5-ycar olds of the new crop. Among . ihem are three kid brothers— ' Vey, WaUy and Karl.

Sage legislators write from Ottawa's Parliament Hill write to ask "how we done it", and Princeton's little—not so Httle—Amber is known as a model all over the world Two Famous Chips And besides being the foster' father of many dham- pions, Bert is the flesh father of two of tihe best known.boys in North American ski sport, one of them —his namesake — Canadian open and Pacific North- West champion. Yes, Amber is famous, and everyone Princeton way knows Bert is Amber and Amber is Bert—and about eveiry youngster in Princeton olid enough to stand up and strap on skis, or have mother—or Bert—do it for them. And here is "how we done it." It was Amber, and snow and Bert. Up Princeton way in the snow months skis are as much the fashion as top coats. You'll find old timers and toddlers navigating the snow-ipaveid ipaths on planished planks. And By Golly They Did! And Princeton boasts of two fine hill®, four champions, and this little town of 1200 has housed every major tournament and now has a host of champions in its ranbSi, and two Olympic team men. Twenty years ago a pair of skis would have caused as much consternation in Princeton as Lady Godiva's white horse. Then a couple of young Skandihooviari incorrigibles blew in to the. lumber camps with lumber in their hands, quite' lunatic with a brew of indignation and enthusiasm. If there is anything Andy likes more than a pair of skis, it is a good argument, especially a ski-ing rgument, and most especial- y with "Minnie'' Engen. It seems that ski-sport was followed with all' the fervor of everything in that hell-roarin' camp of Phoenix way back when, when they used1 to bet a mine on the result of a hockey game. is emphasized in national skills, and the modern combined titles follow these lines.

It has no need to outdo itself. But, the point is, a reasonable marg'n of risk—in the skier, for it is no asset in the hill and not at all necessary. In plain sense, which should be good skinstruction, that is what every ski-candidate should remember, and have instiled. A good swimmer doesn't, drown. He knows his ^depth from the start.

But, this some of the wiser of the young are beginnning to realize—it takes more than bright ideas — and some of the bright new young are not so keen on virile babe. The spirit of it just fits in with the frontier atmosphere. ;gg Ski-^sport grew all too fast for its strength. Local folk took to it like a duck to' water, and outsiders, once they had a taste of our conditions, simply besieged us for a ccomm o d ati oh. And it seems that a cer- i tainiiacein which Andy &B& f ^orway^andjhe and Minnie were as close as thie Siamese twins had a controversial finish, and the controversy Has been raging ever since. Modesty was never one of the little railroader's handicaps, and Andy is blunt and rugged son of Uric the Red. One Jump Ahead When Andy went off to America the boat moved out wihDle he was having a last look — at the national beverage. As she turned her shapely stern—the boat, not Oga — Oiga said, "Now's your chance, Andy, yomp." And by golly he made ||—in two yomtps." And so in due time there was a ski-race around the hills, the finishing stretch up Princeton's main street. A curious throng turned up at the Hotel Princeton corner one Sunday morning to witness the spectacle. It is to qur dying shame that we did not have a photographer to 'enshrine for posterity the Homeric figure of Andy, as puffing like a Jim Hill locomotive, bellowing steam and sprouting with hoar-frost, he staggered break-neck across the finishing line. The result is 'By Golly, jomp." Ski Sport Goes Over By this time Nordic blood vas fired and ski-sport was unblushingly sold to the -Jo-i-ftad of Winnipeg. Scandinavian colony.

But U was not aU failure. It was a turning of the ways. Amber and Irwin couid not be synonymous forever. THE NEW DEAL The new bloods had a P&n; it should be minded that it was a long-term plan.

Both can so together; one need not wait for the other. The annua1 tournament is a itractttionjal resource that has ^i»ear>t much to the town.

This was the junior firmament, and nobody—except Bert Irwin and Mrs. Irwin— could spare a glance at it. The big fellows had quite captured the imagination. But like all sporting enthusiasm, it had its cycle, and to-day it is all Amber. It is probably a secret truth that Pop' Irwin was another Poppa Leed.
