it HM<^'^ the starting point of one of the most beautiful ski runs in the and doubtless the most perfect one in the Bernese Oberland is reached from Wengen in 7 minutes. Beside the easy wide open slopes with plenty of powder snow, well cared runs for courses are always kept open. Drop of altitude 4,500ft. over a distance of about 7 miles. Ski-lift Laeger-Mannlichen, good snow conditions even in April. SPECIAL AEROPLANE SERVICE FOR SKI-ING IN THE HIGH Many starting points for the longest and most beautiful ski-runs in the high mountains of the area, which before could only be approached by long and toilsome ascents on ski reached now with aeroplanes taking off from Mannlichen with trained glacier pilots. Some of these beautiful glacier runs are: Petersgrat-Stechelberg (Lauterbrunnen Valley), Ebnefluh- Hollandia Hut- Blatten, Fiescherhorn- Hut- Fiesch, Rosenegg- Rosenlaui- Meiringen.

The Proudest Palaces Fall and Perish

So wrote Herodotus 2,400 years ago. That in Wengen closed its doors this Spring, on the 25th of March. The Swiss, having launched the Habsburg family upon Europe giving no less than fifty-eight kings to five of its kingdoms, contented themselves with the most stable and efficient of democracies. Nonetheless in the early years of skiing they had a penchant for Palaces and no self-respecting ski resort could be without. Wengen's was never so crushingly superior as those in many rival resorts, to which entry could be barred by a single blackball from a committee run on the lines of an exclusive London club; but it was the hotel. Fritz and Maria Borter were the epitome of what the world expected of Swiss hoteliers, most of the early D.H.O. members stayed there and indeed the Club was founded in its Dining Room. The Club Mediterranee will surely make a success of their venture and we wish them well. In these changed times the development is no doubt a logical one but the change still comes as a shock, bringing sharp realisation of just how much the world is changing and a flood of nostalgic memories. Wengen without the Sorters in their Palace, even for those who never stayed there themselves, can never feel quite the same.

Wengen Pre- War Skiing

On the centre pages we reproduce a pre-war ski map issued by the D.H.O. in folded, pocket format and apparently free since it carries no price tag. Advertisements are however sprinkled among the Time Tables and other information printed on its reverse and these presumably covered the cost. From the Time Tables we learn that five trains a day ran from Wengen to Scheidegg, the first leaving at 8.15, the last at 15.15 and each taking 50 minutes. There was no stop at Sidings, (Allmend), the first being Jumping Hill. Halfway between this and Water Station however the train stopped at "Run Start", presumably for toboggans as the map shows no ski run starting there. From Grund only two trains ran each day, at 9.04 and 14.24, and these climbed no higher than Alpiglen. On the map the line on up to Scheidegg is shown dotted, evidently open in Summer only. The Scheidegg- Eigergletscher line is similarly shown dotted and indeed a Jungfraubahn advertisement speaks of the "easy walk to Eigergletscher if rails are snow-bound". There were of course no ski-lifts or cable cars in those days.

Page Twelve The map carries many names now unfamiliar. Who today could lead you down Aylmer's Gully or on Kitty Dobbs' Run? Miss Dobbs herself still flourishes however, as Mrs. Malcolm Muggeridge one of our four surviving founder members. The other three are the Hon. President, Col. C. J. Odling and Mrs. H. J. Boyd who, it will be seen, as Miss Foster had her very own hut at Fallboden. We have questioned our aunt closely on just what went on in this hut but she becomes coyly evasive. Two things are curious about this hut, apart from the mystery of Miss Foster's claim to it: the run back to Scheidegg appears to go straight through the Bellevue Hotel and no run from it goes down the Punch Bowl. It is hard to believe that no-one skied down it, nor did the White Hare or High Traverse. Other missing names include D.H.O. Gap and Joanne's Hole. Perhaps an older member may be able to estimate the year of publication as unfortunately the map is undated.

Olympics The British performance at Innsbruck, as at Montreal more recently, was generally disappointing. Even John Curry's skating gold seemed to lose a little of its glitter with the knowledge that he trains in America. So many of our Summer medalists, when interviewed on television, proved to have American accents having been living over there for years. Of our skiers however the girls once again performed above the level to be expected of a lowland nation and of the four who survived to figure in the combined results, a feat that proved beyond any of our men, three were D.H.O; Fiona Easdale, Hazel Hutcheon and Theresa Wallis. British skiers still enter the Olympics with much of the spirit intended by Baron Pierre de Coubertin when he revived them, for the honour of competing and Lake Placid in 1980 would see few British entries indeed if only those with a genuine chance of medals were to be sent. For obvious reasons most medals nowadays go to either the wealthier nations or the totalitarian ones. We are no longer among the former nor yet, mercifully, the latter although the creation of a Ministry of Sport did strike an ominous, Orwellian chord. At least they do not yet demand of all infant and junior schools details of any promising pupils for their transference to State Gymnasia . . . thence to emerge ten years later and be presented to the sporting world as "economists", "research students" or whatever. The British press too easily overlooks this UK handicap of being neither wealthy nor enslaved and, with a few exceptions, its unsympathetic reporting at Innsbruck made it unpopular with our competitors out there. Elsewhere in this Journal John Hennessy of "The Times" defends the position he took in a provocative article. Ever anxious for copy we hope this may provoke some replies for the next issue.

If You Can 't You Cant That is if you cannot easily grip with your lower inside edge on an icy traverse or you tend, when running straight downhill, to catch an edge then the chances are your legs are naturally canted. You're bow-legged in fact but then most people are to some extent, standing on the outsides of their feet which transmits greater pressure to the outer edges of their skis. The remedy is to have "cants", thin metal or plastic wedges, fitted under your binding plates. In the States this practice has become increasingly popular over the past five years. Ski shops have "canting machines" on which you stand in your ski boots to measure the degree of cant to be corrected for each foot, not necessarily the same amount. They are now catching on in Europe and, from the enthusiastic comments of almost all who try them, are likely to become as universally used as are safety bindings today. Not so many years back these were laughed at as an odd English eccentricity.

Gordon Ravenscroft writes: I can tell you who Mary was, and I hope still is. She owned a Tea House next door to the Palace Hotel. I believe it was even then called the Belair Tea Room. Skiers and skaters used to foregather for tea and delicious cakes after a hard day's exercise. Less time was spent in those days on cocktails and more time on homely teas. Mary, in her steel-rimmed spectacles, beamed on her clients and overfed and undercharged them. She liked to see us enjoying ourselves. Often Arthur Gilligan came and when he did we would urge him to the piano, and he would sit and play anything we called for while we sang all the current popular songs. I think Mary sold her place to the Palace Hotel, who now own it, when she moved to a cafe at Inner Wengen. Tea is hard to get nowadays in . It often comes out of some steam-blasting appliance but, if it's not free advertising, I can tell my fellow members of the D.H.O. there is a little place halfway down the Inner Wengen road, beyond the railway bridge, where a sweet Frau Gertsch will still treat you like Mary did.

This letter was provoked by a chance aside in last year's Journal that consigned poor Mary Schlunegger's identity to being "lost in the mists of time". To several generations she was one of those special ingredients of Wengen that helped make it a resort to which skiers loyally return year after year, Socialist taxes permitting. Her years at Inner Wengen left happy memories no less vivid than those of her "Belair Period" recalled by Gordon Ravenscroft; the warm welcome plus, if it was the first time that season, something "on the house", the unfailing memory for faces and names . . . she was such a vivid personality that simply to recall the sign outside her chalet is to hear her voice: "Don't You Know that Mary's Chocolate is the Best". In fact she died only three years ago, on 22nd September 1973, at the age of 83.

Page Thirteen Members' List and Addresses

The Hon. Members' Secretary apologises for the addressing system not being in accordance with the members' list but it is hoped to have the whole organisation in one place before the next mailing date. This brief paragraph only hints at the labours Madeleine has undertaken in bringing together, monitoring and updating the list and addressing system. With some 1,500 members someone is always moving house, changing their name on getting married or a peerage, or simply dying. If you are doing any of these things, or if your name is wrongly given in the Journal, please write to Madeleine. Please also send her the address of any of the following you may happen to know as they are now so lost that there is little chance of their reading this Journal:

As a further economy the Committee has decided that one Journal, not two, be posted to a husband and wife at the same address as many have commented that they do not need the second copy. However if you do wish to have your individual copy a postcard to the Hon. Editor will secure one by return. Younger members living with their (D.H.O.) parents will continue to receive their own personal copies.

Page Fourteen The Importance of Being Ernst

Ernst Gertsch does everything with ordered efficiency starting with his birth on 1.1.00. to avoid having to pause, as many of us have to as we get older, to work out his age. Ernst however does not get older; he stays just the same. That slightly saturnine figure is now such a fixed and familiar feature of Wengen that we easily overlook the fact that he is one of our most distinguished Honorary Members. The Swiss themselves only stumbled on the fact a few years back since when his many and varied contributions to skiing and climbing have been reg­ ularly recounted in their press. He initiated and nursed the Cup to its present high stand­ ing among international ski events, having himself won its first slalom and over the years has been prominent in organizing races and improving their efficiency with such innovations as viewing towers for slaloms, plastic poles, promptly duplicated results sheets and parallel slalom courses. Last year he was one of the leading lights in launching the D.H.O./Ski Club Wengen international parallel slalom to celebrate our 50 years. These notes are in belated recognition of the fact that Ernst was also then cele­ brating his own 75 years. His many climbing firsts in the twenties and thirties, (with such nostalgic names as Fritz Fuchs, Christian Rubi and Hans Schlunegger as companions), are too long to list in a skiing journal but of them his f | %4£.e^=-Jzl# climb of Rottalhiitte/Rottalkessel/Jungfraugipfel/ Jungraujoch with Fritz Fuchs in 1927 has never been repeated. He has also always been keen on technical innovations, from the safety binding developed with his son Ueli stretching back to the twenties when he was the first in Switzerland to fit skis with steel edges. A few years ago the Association of Swiss Sports Journalists, reviewing this remarkable range of activity, presented Ernst with their gold medal for services to sport. In their presentation address, when listing the many ski clubs of which he is an honorary member, they showed a nice sense of values: ". . . of the SSV, the SCGB, the Kandahar and of today's greatest British Ski Club (des heute grossten britischen skiclubs) the DHO. The address also echoes the journalists' surprise that the "Ernst Gertsch" that recurs through accounts of the origins of ski racing was the selfsame, active Ernst they knew. "Du bist doch", it exclaims, "zu einem Begriff, zu einem Markenzeichen gewachsen und — zu Lebzeiten erfreulicherweise noch — ein Stuck alpine Rennsportgeschichte geworden", or roughly: "Good gracious Ernst is it really you still going strong — why, you're a living chunk of ski history".

Editor Wanted

Norman Freund having carried the editorial load with distinction for a decade retired last year, only to take on the full burden of advertising. In the previous Journal he appealed for a successor. The response was, to coin a needed word, underwhelming. This stop was plugged into the gap by those he always thought his friends by swiftly devious manoeurvres before he quite grasped what was happening. We are however but a stop-gap and the vacancy still open. With three boys to bring up and school fees rising like the Mannlichen lift the prospects of getting out to Wengen at all are receding; what sort of an Editor is that. Members are therefore urged to write to the Hon. President putting forward their name or recommending a friend. As my late father put it in the 1955 Journal: The job has its compensations. The, Hon. Editor can be rude to Sir Arnold Lunn with the knowledge that he will have to wait a year before he can answer back. He can also tilt at people or institutions of which he happens to disapprove with a reasonable certainty that the law of libel will not be invoked. Alas it is hard to think of a current skiing personality of Arnie's stature at which to tilt, so dull we are all becoming. On the other hand the Journal's finances are today such that the risk of a libel action is even more remote and the net can be cast even wider, only drawing the line at the Queen, the Pope and, of course, Sir Jimmie Goldsmith. The ideal applicant will be a D.Lit, a first class skier, speak fluent Swiss-German and spend the whole of each season in Wengen. These qualifications can however be shaded a little . . . a lot. . . if you are willing and can push a pen for Heaven's sake, write at once to the Hon-President.

Page Sixteen Deaths On another page appear the obituaries of two members who were of different generations, lived in different countries and possibly never even met. They shared however both the love of Wengen and its skiing and the gift of such unfailing good humour, courtesy and willingness to help and advise others that they can have left behind few enemies. Paul Heller's death on January 1st at the age of 55 came as a stunning blow. Living in Berne he was the Club's permanent Representative in Switzerland. A wonderfully competent skier in all snow conditions and with great experience of the high Alps, the first thought the moment Wengen's weather promised the possi­ bility of the glaciers was always "I wonder if we can get Paul to come over". He died just four months too soon to welcome the arrival of his grandson Mark, born 30th April to Sandra and Thomas von Erlach-Heller. Arthur Gilligan died in his sleep on September 5th at the age of 81. His death came without warning as he seemed in good health. He and his wife Penny were among the many who attended the Wengen Jubilee Dinner and indeed the day before his death he had played an 18 hole round of golf. His fame as a cricketer needs no rehearsing but he was also an enthusiastic golfer—president of the West Sussex and Bognor Regis Clubs and a life member of many others. He first visited Wengen with his brothers Frank and Harold as early as 1912 but it was his marriage in 1934 to Penny Fox that really converted him to the sport of skiing. Penny and her brother Tom were among the elite of early D.H.O. skiers and to Penny we extend our deep sympathy.

From Two Planks to Four Wheels In May 1974 Divina Galica came second to Chay Blyth, the yachtsman, in a "Sporting Celebrities Race" at . Bitten by the motor racing bug there has since been no holding her. In March 1975 she raced for the first time as a professional again at Brands Hatch, in her 150 mph Ford Escort and raced thirty times, in all, over that season. The TIMES conceded that she had made a "considerable impact on British race circuits" but added wriley "... and occasionally on the scenery surrounding them". This year however Divina's driving has obliged the British press and public to drop its light-hearted approach and to sit up and take notice. She moved up to Formula 1 racing in a 3-litre ShellSport-Rolatruc TS16 and, on June 19th., set up new Formula 1 records for the quarter mile and mile, (171.42 and 170.61 m.p.h.), down the 10,000 ft. Concorde test-runway at Fairford. The records she broke were those set up in 1969 by Angus Clydesdale — cousin of the Mackintoshes and himself no mean skier. Remarkably, her 170.61 m.p.h. over the mile exactly equalled Sir Malcolm Campbell's "outright" record of October 1926 so she failed by l/100th. of an m.p.h. to break this.Compared to Divina's modest 3 litres Cambell did have a 27-litre aero engine under his bonnet. She is now, of course, the fastest British lady, (on four wheels that is), and currently lies fourth in the European Formula 5000 Championship. With all this is it not marvellous the amount of time Divina still manages to find to devote to the D.H.O. ?

Inflation In July last year, the pound having sunk to only (!) 5.50 Swiss francs, a Daily Telegraph reader wrote to point out that on present trends the two currencies should reach exact equality in 1984. Although the Swiss do also suffer, to a lesser extent, from inflation the coming Wengen season promises to be the third in succession when, with few exceptions, hotel and other basic prices remain largely unchanged. Inflation has also forced the Club, after 21 stable years, to raise its subscription to £2 p.a. plus an optional £1 for the Racing & Training Fund. This, till now, has survived largely on the generous donations of a few members. The response to the Hon President's letter has been gratifying with only a small minority regretfully resigning and of these a number expressed their regrets in tangible form with parting donations. It is also gratifying that the great majority of those amending their Banker's Orders raised them to the £3 p.a. to help our younger members, on whom the Club's future depends. If you have not yet got round to changing your Banker's Order please delay no longer. This Journal alone costs more than your old subscription so that the Club would not be able to afford to send it to you.

Photographs Please Unable to get out to Wengen last season, this edition is sadly short of photographs to relieve the seas of prose. We display with pleasure all Ros' young athletes but the picture presented is unbalanced and older members will begin to fear that casual skiing and gay apres-ski, (we refuse to surrender to Sodom this admirable adjective), are no longer part of Wengen life. Please, all those of you fortunate enough to get out to Wengen, restore the balance by providing photographs. They will, if so endorsed, be returned without fail. TRAINING Sophie Holmes Photo: Georg

Edited by Rosamond Hepworth 1976 has brought a lot of changes for the D.H.O. Some have been unwelcome changes, but we have survived through the first winter of our second half century, and even made progress, thanks to our many supporters. It is my pleasant duty to thank them, on behalf of our racers, for their help. Our President, for her energetic support throughout the year. John Latimer, for his skill with our finances and travel. Piers Browning and Norman Freund for much help especially in Wengen. Our "Geneva Group" for their generous hospitality. Victor Brown and our Scottish supporters for theirs. Our trainers, all of them, their names are household words. Our managers, outgoing and incoming, Oli and Don. About the racers themselves the following reports deal fully, and about plans for the next four years, we must wait and see how things develop. Changes at the top were inevitable, however, having been able to follow international racing ever since World War II, I am amazed how the pendulum swings faster and further from one extreme to another every four years, as the newcomers eagerly take over. One such even went so far as to say "if Maria does not resign after the Olympics she will be thrown out". Yet Maria always intended to resign, and when the time came she did so with grace and charm, her first thought as always being for the welfare of her team. To most of the ski-racing personalities outside the U.K., Maria Goldberger is one of the best-known and best loved British organisers. For example, an Austrian who has worked closely with her and closely with his own country's team said to me the other day "I do not think that the British will ever realise how much they owe to Maria". Well, perhaps some do and some don't, and there are many in this club who do. We hope that she will continue to advise and help us from her vast knowledge and experience. Owing to the last minute "defection" of Ingrid Christophersen, recalled by her boss to , the Christmas Coggins were taken by Hilary Goadby, with Callum Scott to help her. Hilary and Callum, armed with a letter from Ingie, taught the 25 or so Coggins who crowded into the D.H.O. Office daily for briefing. They had their own races, a proper slalom and , a potato race, an "egg and parent" race, and a most successful fancy dress party at the Belvedere Disco, where the prize winners included R. Brindley, C. Yorke, and Flora Franklin. The Astons as "Nessie"-were much enjoyed by the audience. The average age of Coggins this year was 9 years, and the two youngest were 6, quite a responsibility with the Christmas crowds swarming everywhere. Hilary proved a splendid teacher, calm and resourceful, and much beloved by the children as was also Callum, whose knowledge of Wengen was invaluable.

Pnno Ff'nhtvt,,, John Latimer writes: THE main event in the skiing world during the past season was, of course, the Winter Olympics. In the racing section of the D.H.O. we do not imagine that all our trainees will become Olympic racers. We like to think that those who don't will at least become good and devoted skiers. We hope that most of them will be able to have the fun of racing at whatever level time, skill or opportunity enables them to reach. Naturally it is encouraging if our trainees reach the top. So it is satisfactory to record that of the four British girls who actually finished in an Olympic race in 1976 three were D.H.O., that is to say Fiona Easdale, Hazel Hutcheon and Theresa Wallis. Of the three British boys of whom the same can be said undoubtedly Alan Stewart, D.H.O., achieved the best results. As there was a certain amount of criticism in the Press of the achievements of British Olympic skiers it may not be out of place to mention that I find that those in a position to know what they are talking about consider they did very well. As a particularly good and encouraging example for the consideration of other trainees I should like to point out that Fiona does not live in the Alps, nor in Scotland, but on the contrary in Gerrards Cross. Until last year she skied only during the holidays from school in England. She now ranks 10th in the Ladies Combined Olympic Results. Can't we have some more like this from those mountainous regions in Bucks? To mention briefly some other results: — At the Junior Championships we had no luck with the boys but Julia Eastes won both the Slalom and the Giant Slalom and so was unchallenged Girl Champion. At the British Senior Championships in Scotland Theresa Wallis won the Giant Slalom. In that race 8 out of the first 10 girls were D.H.O. Lucy Holmes and Fiona Easdale were 2nd and 3rd in the Girls Slalom and also in the Combined. Again our boys were not so successful although Alan Stewart was 3rd in the Giant Slalom and 6th in the Slalom. I ought to mention the Lowlanders where Lucy Holmes was 2nd in the Ladies Downhill and Alan Lobozzo 3rd in the Mens Slalom. Both these two have been racing very well and are obviously going to be in the top group in the coming season. Sophie Holmes, Mark Currie, David Lobozzo and Susan Franklin are also names on which the eye falls. In spite of inflation and the disastrous pound the number of trainees has kept up remarkably well. No doubt there are some things for which parents are still prepared to find the money. We do try to keep the cost as low as possible. We were again splendidly served by our trainers. It is astounding to me how relative new-comers like Alasdair Ross seems to become in a flash devoted enthusiasts in the cause of the D.H.O., and how an even newer comer like Hilary Goadby manages to follow the unfollowable Ingrid in looking after the 'Coggins'. Finally I want to say a special word of thanks to Oliver Hart. He is no longer able to spare the time to continue as our Manager. No one who has not tried it can possibly imagine the endless variety of tasks which this job entails, nor the endless time and attention demanded. Oli has always carried it out with the utmost apparent ease and sangfroid. We all offer him our best thanks and appreciation. Don Cooper took over the Manager's job at Easter and again we have been lucky in our follower on.

1975 CHRISTMAS TRAINING Oliver Hart writes: FOR the second year running I managed to arrive after the main party and so missed the hectic day that starts with the train pulling into Lauterbrunnen at 9.30 a.m., followed by the distribution of trainees by sex in Schmalz and Chalet Welti, the tracking down of registered luggage and the extraction of mug-shots from each trainee only to find that some have been carefully packed in the registered luggage. Then it's up to Wengen for a long session with the station- master to obtain abonnements for varying ages for varying periods of time and a traumatic afternoon in the shops hiring equipment or digging it out of storage.

Occasionally there would be sessions in the Lauterbrunnen gym after The day after our arrival, training started in that, but again we had to be careful not to overtire the earnest. To begin with, Alasdair Ross, who had young ones too much. Finally the boys who were proved such a success the previous Christmas, took staying in the two chalets in the village walked out to the top group for some technique training while Schmalz and everyone had dinner together at 6.30.

Page Twenty The next day we held our giant slalom on the other side of the Bumps and this time Lucy made no mistake and finished over two seconds clear of her sister who was followed by Marion Perry. In the boys race, Allan Lobozzo didn't take part and there were no Kandahar, so David Lobozzo carried on his good work of the previous day to win by a handsome 2% seconds from Mathew Cooper. After that there were only four more days to the end of the training, one of these being New Years Day which was a half day for training purposes. The top group made a return sortie to the Kandahar on January 3rd to take part in their giant slalom. The weather was revolting with freezing winds and bad visibility and the piste was stony and scattered with icy patches. The Kandahar leapt agilely from patch to patch or nonchalantly scraped over the stones whereas the somewhat sensitive D.H.O. members scratched along slowly behind. The D.H.O. juniors raced pretty badly and Sophie Holmes again had equipment problems, peering interestedly at her binding and noticing something missing. A hurried swapping of parts was to no avail as she disappeared off at the start and took so long to reappear at the finish that she registered the slowest run of the day by some seconds. However this, combined with her assurance that she had not fallen, did not cause too much surprise to myself and other fans of Sophie, as we realised she had probably found some mountain bar on the way down and stopped for a hamburger or Plwro: George Konig.

After having our feet tickled first thing, we learnt to tuck all exposed parts of our bodies well under the eiderdown. During the day such comforts were left behind and the cold, misty, rainy weather confronted. Skiing on the long T-bar developped in us all the interesting techniques of sidestepping puddles and jumping the rivulets which criss-crossed the piste. Principal casualties during this D.H.O. Dachstein training were Michelle Currie's toothbraces which were forgotten in the Bergstation, and Diana's anorak which was unfortu- nally burnt while drying in the drying- room—accidents which were a bit trying on both girls. On the other hand when this article was written Toby Franklin hadn't noticed anything missing, but was looking forward to the loss of his tonsils. Much to his annoyance they chose just the moment when he was getting down to some serious training to become infected. However, rather than dreading the prospect of such an operation, Toby was more interested in being allowed to keep his precious appendages in a little glass bottle for further scrutiny after the operation. Good luck and lets hope everything went well Toby! Dachstein was a training well carried out under difficult conditions and I am sure will add to each trainees personal mound of experience, which must develop and be constantly nurtured before anyone can become a top ski racer.

Page Twenty-five John Hennessy INNSBRUCK DIARY "The Times"

Sunday, February 1. First foray into Olympic village, there to meet Robin Bailey, earnest as usual almost to the point of melancholy, and Maria Goldberger, buoyant as usual almost to the point of complacency. I also met Konrad Bartelski, who refuted my suggestion that, in view of his difficulties during the season, we ought not to expect too much of him, say a place in the first 20. "I'll prove you wrong", he said, a remark that grew in significance a week or so later. I was so impressed by his morale that I wrote an optimistic piece about his prospects. Monday, February 2. Sitting quietly having supper with Alan Smith, of the Daily Telegraph when George Konig dropped the bombshell that Piers Iliffe had been sent home. I had already filed three stories that day, but there was nothing for it but to down eating tools and get back to work, at 9.30 p.m. We dashed over to the press centre to get a-car into the village. We sat down in the village with Bailey, who denied that Iliffe had been rusticated. There was nothing for him to do in Innsbruck, so it was thought better to send him off to Italy for a Europa Cup race. He went home on the way. Only the four chosen for the downhill could train on the , he said, but I was to discover later that other teams were running five men in training. We took Bailey at face value, though, and I was critical in the paper of bringing a man to Innsbruck to send him away again for a piffling race dozens of alps away. Quentin Sutton had also left the village, but, as I conceded in The Times, there was something to be said for dispatching a 16-year-old to train with Hansi Hinterseer. Tuesday, February 3. A message from London that Ian Graeme, at the National Ski Federation, had protested about my story that morning. Piers Iliffe had been sent away for "security reasons". I never did discover what that meant, unless that Iliffe would not be allowed on the downhill course, along with other non-qualified racers, to reduce the risk of accident. It may be recalled that an Australian, Ross Milne, brother of Malcolm, had been killed here in the Olympics of 1964 so the Austrians may have been expected to show particular caution. But how come, then, that other teams were running five racers in training? As it was, we were left with no reserve if, by mischance, one of the chosen four had to withdraw. Wednesday, February 4. Alan Smith and I interviewed Kenneth Dilnotte-Cooper to discover his reaction to the Iliffe affair. He said that the decision to send him away was only partly disciplinary, but our conversation for an hour or so hardly ever strayed from that point. Kenneth thought the business had been mishandled. He had had his troubles as team manager in 1968 and solved them by man-to-man confrontation. Kenneth made the telling point, that, supposing Iliffe had gone off the rails once, which he would neither confirm nor deny, one needed to have an adventurous spirit in the first place to take up such a sport as ski racing.

Thursday, February 5. The day of the men's downhill. Met Bailey on the hill and asked him why he had not told Alan Smith and me the truth. "I couldn't", he replied, thereby at least confirming that he had pulled the wool over our eyes. He suggested we forget the whole business, but I recommended him to wait until he had seen that day's paper before he made up his mind. I doubted if he would be very pleased when the papers arrived later that day and he saw the result of our talk with Dilnott-Cooper. In the race Bartelski, our main hope, fell. Seeking a few words with him after a decent interval (to allow his disappointment to subside), and after he'd given a long interview to a man from the Daily Mirror, I was given a sharp brush- off. Our hero said he didn't like talking to people who wrote shit about the team. I asked him if he had read what I had written after the Bailey interview (remember, the papers carrying the Dilnott-Cooper article had not yet arrived), he hadn't as I well knew since it appeared only in the later editions on Tuesday. The only news he and others had had been conveyed by telephone from an ill briefed Graeme in London. In fact, I had not said a word against the team, only the management, based on information (later known to be misinformation) supplied by the manager himself. In spite of the insult, I wrote, I thought a generous piece, expressing disappointment not disgust. I was not of course surprised to learn that the Daily Mirror had emerged as the darling of the British ski fraternity, in view of its devoted support of the British effort across the years. The race itself was a triumph for , in front of his compatriots. There was tingling excitement at the finish as his interval times were announced and the tension mounted. But I envied John Samuel his place in the BBC commentary box and his view of the race on the screen. I would have been still more envious had I known what extraordinary risks Klammer had taken (I saw some of it replayed later) and what a fantastic television spectacle it made. Friday, February 6. A quiet day as Olympics go, so we went to Seefeld to have a look at the biathlon. By some extra­ ordinary oversight I wore my city shoes and finished on my back as soon as I stepped out of our car. Thereafter I had to rely on Elisabeth Hussey and Chris Hilton, of the Daily Express, for support. We were so ignorant of what was going on that the morning collapsed into one long giggle. I intended to write a light piece about it and yet, on finishing my article, I confessed to Chris that, try as I might, I had been unable to do other than take the event seriously. To the ice rink in the evening to see the and confronting each other fortunately armed only with hockey sticks. From the moment when a couple from Maine carried a banner into the arena bearing the charming legend "Clobber the Kremlin" it was a thoroughly nasty sporting occasion, relieved for me only by some telling comments at my side by a Canadian journalist. I particularly liked his judgement of Maine, "a state of insanity". Saturday, February 7. Technically a non-working day, but went to Igls to see what was happening on the bob run, scene of a British gold medal 12 years earlier through Nash and Dixon. A joint bob and toboggan run seems now the thing of the future, much to the regret of hardened bobbers. Patrick Evelyn, the British team manager, was saddened by the development, which would take some of the danger, and therefore the glamour, out of bobbing. He had considered going down the Igls run in the middle of a four-man bob but had been told he would be crazy; he should "stay with your memories". The run proved to be a gold mine for the East Germans, with three victories in one day, one in a bob and two in a toboggan. Learnt in the evening that the biathletes had been offended by my piece from Seefeld. Heavens, I'll not have a friend left by the time the fortnight's up. Sunday, February 8. Back to proper work and to Axamer-Lizum for the women's downhill. Nothing could have given me greater satisfaction than Rosi Mittermaier's victory, a British one being beyond consideration. A year earlier I had been chided by our deputy editor, Charles Douglas-Home, about an interview I had had with Rosi at Grindelwald which seemed to him to be influenced more by her personal charm than her skiing. Now she had taken the first step towards justifying my glowing tribute a year ago.

Page Twenty-six Mondav. February 9. Had to attend an American Olympic press conference at 11 a.m. and also follow up a story about a Russian"girl being disqualified for taking drugs, so decided to watch first leg of men's giant slalom on the box. Nothing very special about it. except that Gustavo Thoeni looked to have put the gold medal halfway around his neck. I recorded it as a "grim dav for the British" in The Times. Our best skier, Alan Stewart, was 45th and, for the second time, Bartelski failed to finish. Tiiesdav. February/ 10. Again, needed to be in three places at once. Had to pursue two news stories — withdrawal of accreditations to Radio Free Europe (an incident with strong political overtones) and an injury to a British rider on the toboggan run. Decided, therefore, to watch second leg of men's giant slalom on the box, a tactical error as it later turned out (see February 12), but 1 could not have avoided it. There was a surprise result, with Thoeni relegated to fourth place and Heini Hemmi, of Switzerland, emerging as the winner. His best previous placing during the season had been only sixth. I wrote: "The British performance on a long and difficult course was even more depressing than on the first day". Stewart was the only survivor, in 33rd position. This is the best placing of a British competitor in this event since the war, but is it much to write home about, particularly when all teams are confined to only four entries? Weduesdav, February 11. Rosi's day again, this time in the slalom. The course was steep and difficult and the casualties heavy, with only 19 survivors from 41 starters. Valentina Iliffe was 15th and Fiona Easdale 18th, which placed them ninth and 12th respectively in the combined with the giant slalom to come. Asked Valentina for her comments on her brother's setback. Yes. she replied with commendable honesty, he could be wild, but he could also be controlled. She had heard that Bartelski had declared that if Iliffe were in the team he, Bartelski, would not. Was this, then the heart of the matter? To the ice rink in the evening to see John Curry open millions of eyes to a new vision of figure skating, a full five minutes of artistry rather than a series of highlights joined together with required pieces of prosaic skating in order to get from A to B. Others may achieve greater feats of acrobatic skill on the ice. but none could match his grace and technical command. A brilliant gold medal for Britain. Why couldn't it have been for a skier? Even so, the British press were a bit miffed. We had all studiously observed a request to leave Curry alone after one introductory press conference, so that he could concentrate on the business of winning a gold medal. The morning after his triumph, we were to read the story sent out by an American journalist with the Associated Press agency, giving intimate details of his private life (well known to us), culled over the previous week. Had the CIA struck again? Thursday, February 12. Almost nothing planned for this day, so to Bergisel to sit in on a ski jumping seminar to discover why it is that this sport can be staged without the mistrust that disfigures figure skating. Distance can be measured, of course, but style also counts. The answer seems to be that (1) there are fewer judges, five against nine, (2) the judges are chosen at random, rather than from the nations of the principal competitors, and (3) top and bottom marks are eliminated to prevent prejudice. Much, much more satisfactory. A big news story, the disqualification of (second favourites to the Soviet Union) from an ice hockey match because of a drug test on their captain. There was some confusion, as the test revealed the presence of codeine, a harmless preparation one might think, but codeine, which is not banned by the International Olympic Committee as such, is transformed in part into morphine in the human body, and morphine is banned. Codeine is enmeshed in the addition "and related compounds" to the section dealing with narcotics. The player was subjected to no further penalty, but the doctor was banned, thus showing clearly enough where the reponsibility lay. Warned on arrival at the press centre in the afternoon that Robin Bailey had been looking for me with the threat of "pinning one on him". He came back later and there in the front of the whole room we had a stand-up row, an unseemly diversion for everyone. He did not mind my taking it out on him but would 1 please leave the team alone (It is an extraordinary philosophy that footballers and cricketers, for example, can be subjected to critical judgement but ski racers may not). 1 had not, he said, even been to see the giant slalom, as indeed I had not, for reasons already set out here. "You ought to give up ski reporting", was his final taunt, and there was just time for me to reply that he was the second person who had said that in 17 years and as the other was Mrs. X he was in good company. I will leave readers to hazard a guess at the identity of Mrs. X, but I offer the clue that, so far as 1 know, she has no connection with DHO. No brain teaser, this, I wouldn't have thought. Friday, February 13. Something of a disappointment at Axamer-Lizum, with Rosi "only" second in the giant slalom. She was beaten by , of Canada, and was thus denied a unique triple gold in women's skiing. As it was, she was, of course, a runaway winner of the world championship, compounded of the three Olympic races. (I was criticised later by a Canadian for not giving Kathy due recognition for her win in The Times. On re-reading ray report I am inclined to agree. I suppose that I, like most other people, was so geared up to Rosi's third gold that I lost my sense of perspective). In any case, Kathy's win, even if aided by her early start number, gave me great personal pleasure, because I had shared an agreeable three hours or so in the company of her and Laurie, driving from Cortina to Innsbruck the previous December. I had not met them before and was bowled over by their friendliness and genuine charm. Valentina and Fiona finished 30th and 37th respectively in the giant slalom and 8th and 10th respectively in the world championship, but too much should not be read into the combined these days, when specialization is so intense. The time has probably come for a separate competition to find the overall champions. Approached by Bartelski on the hill with a little box containing the two pieces of bone taken from his leg in December, but I would have none of it. The time for explanations, if there had to be any, was before the races rather than after. (See February 1). Accused by Elisabeth Hussey at supper of "writing beastly things about the boys" — and another friendship bites the dust. Saturday, February 14. Another non-working day, but I went up to Axamer-Lizum for the men's slalom merely to show my face and let Bailey know that he had not frightened me off. Not one of our four survived both runs. Bartelski suffered the crushing disappointment of not once reaching the "ziel" in any event. In the evening to the ice rink to see the final of the hockey between the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia, a marvellous match marred by overwhelming partiality of the crowd towards Czechoslovakia. Horrible atmosphere. Sunday, February 15. Punching out the final piece from Innsbruck, I saw on the television set in front of my seat in the press room a re-run of the week's outstanding performances. For the first time I saw Klammer's downhill, or part of it, and resolved in future to be near the box for big downhill races. Watching the last few hundred metres from the finish area is a poor substitute, even if it does help one to escape censure by the British team manager. Off to Gatwick tomorrow, and not a day too soon. At least my wife still loves me, I hope. Postscript. Soon after Innsbruck Maria Goldberger, manager of the women's team for 10 years and Robin Bailey, manager of the men's team for two, gave in their resignations. Maria will be much missed.

He joined the DHO in 1960 while Commercial Secretary of the British Embassy in Berne and two years later took over the organisation of the Club's glacier touring section. Previously our touring had been confined to the traditional Oberland peaks and passes with a few minor variations but Paul preferred to keep well away from the beaten tracks and we enjoyed some memorable weeks based on the more remote mountain huts. He will be remembered for his imaginative choice of routes, his painstaking logistical planning, his determination in achieving his objectives and his thoughtful consideration for the well-being of his companions. Apart from his touring activities Paul had been a good racer and could still return a respectable time in the Macmillan Cup. He was a superb deep snow skier and a glance through the back numbers of the Journal will testify to his abilities as a photographer. To his wife Ruth and to Sandra and Peter we send our deep sympathy. R.E.H.E.

The D.H.O. as usual were seen everywhere and not only the Trainees and Coggins! I had a Cocktail Party in the Discotheque before Christmas which was very well attended, as were a lot throughout the season. Because of the early timing of the Lauberhorn Race this year, Wengen was more than alive for the whole of January. During this time the D.H.O. and Ski Club of Great Britain had the services of two fine Reps, Hilary Goadby and Jon Blake both of whom put a great deal of effort into their work with the result that the members in Wengen at that time had lots to do. One evening I will never forget was a Fondu Party at Wengernalp where we had over forty people and I brought down on ski's afterwards a party which included some in the over sixty bracket who said afterwards that they had really enjoyed the experience : or perhaps it was just the content of Kaspar Von Almen's wine!
