ILL ONLY 

BEING THE ANNUAL JOURNAL OF THE DOWNHILL ONLY CLUB 

WHICH WAS FOUNDED IN WENGEN ON 7 TH FEBRUARY 1925. 

HON. EDITOR: K.D.FOSTER, M.B. E., LEABROOK WORKS, WEDNESBURY, STAFFORDSHIRE 

£dit

efore 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. 

As we hope that this will be our last chance to 

catch our readers' eye we should like to pay 

tribute to those who have helped us during our 

years of office. First and foremost our printers, 

Joseph Wones Ltd. of West Bromwich, who seem 

to take as much interest in the production of the 

journal as we do ourselves, and who have amiably 

recognised that this is a non-profit making 

publication and have kept their charges down to 

the very minimum. Then we have Maurice G. 

Parker Ltd. of Birmingham who have supervised 

the production of the blocks and The Lucas 

Engraving Co. Ltd. who have made every block 

we have used. Finally, The Standard Catalogue 

Co. Ltd. of London have brought about a very 

considerable increase in the number of British 

advertisements. We have throughout had unfailing 

support from Dr. Zahnd of the Wengen 

Kurverein and of the various Presidents and 

D.H.O. Committees under which we have worked. 

Thank you, everyone. 

Readers will notice that our final act on behalf 

of our successor has been to obtain sanction for 

the extra expense involved in using larger and 

more readable type. The fact that there has been 

a simultaneous increase in subscription for new 

members is purely coincidental. 

P.R.O. 

Paul Hepworth is another Club Official who 

feels the load of advancing years and who has 

therefore resigned his post as Honorary Treasurer 

after holding it since 1945. In this case Hedley 

Gardner has stepped into the breach, and if an 

equally suitable candidate can be found for the 

vacancy advertised in the preceding paragraph 

the Club will indeed be fortunate. 

Only those who, like the writer of this note, 

have been connected with the running of the 

D.H.O. since its foundation can realise the full 

debt that the Club owes to Paul. Apart from 

his duties as Treasurer, Paul has worked unceasingly 

as the Club's Public Relations Officer 

and has been quite shameless in exploiting, for 

the benefit of the Club, the fact that he is on terms 

of personal friendship with every Swiss worth 

knowing in the Oberland, as well as with all the 

backroom boys of British ski-ing. Fortunately 

he was persuaded, against his will, to remain on 

the Committee. 

FESTIVE 

UST over 200 Members and their guests 

J attended the Club's 29th Anniversary 

Dinner Dance which was held on 24th November, 

1954, in the Savoy's Lancaster Room. Maybe the 

slight drop in attendance was due to the event 

Page Fourteen 

taking place on a Wednesday instead of the 

usual Friday. Generally speaking, the provincial 

customers dislike travelling up to London in the 

middle of the week; also some of the London 

members, for the best of reasons, recoil from the 

idea of going to their offices an hour or two after 

the dinner is over. 

The meal was one which could not have been 

obtained in other parts of the Savoy for the 

modest 27/6 charged for the tickets, and the 

tournedos were a welcome change from the 

turkeys and hens of the austerity years. 

Our President, Sir Adrian Jarvis, proposed the 

toast of The Guests and started with a brief 

review of the Club's successful year. He then 

went on to offer a special welcome to the Club 

Guest, Sir Malcolm Trustram-Eve, and also to 

D.H.O. member Miss Pat Smythe, who had 

come straight from the plane that had brought 

her back from her triumphs in Belgium. 

Sir Malcolm, replying for the guests, started by 

criticising the paucity of the adjectives used by 

this department when reporting the speeches of 

previous Club Guests. He stated that reference 

to back-numbers proved that these were always 

referred to as either "amusing" or "entertaining". 

To dispose of this point straight away we would 

say that skilful, dexterous, adroit, expert, apt, 

deft, accomplished and masterly was what his 

speech was. 

It was, we think, the first speech that Sir 

Malcolm had made to a ski-ing organisation 

since handing in his portfolio as President of the 

S.C.G.B., and he was evidently no longer 

apprehensively aware of the General Purposes 

Committee breathing down his neck. He referred 

to this publication's irreverently coined nickname 

"Aunty Scgba" and also to its occasional 

criticisms of Aunty. These criticisms had, Sir 

Malcolm said, caused a good deal of irritation in 

certain quarters but he gave it as his opinion that 

they had had a healthy effect and said that they 

had been kept "just within bounds". Now that 

we come to think about it, he rather stressed that 

"just". 

Sir Malcolm ended by quoting (at a most 

appropriate moment in the proceedings) the 

schoolboy's translation of Tant pis tant mieux as 

"Aunty has been out of the room; Aunty feels 

better". 

The speeches were ended by Mr. Fritz Borter 

of the Palace Hotel who also spoke in the highest 

terms of the Club's achievements and, harking 

back to Aunty Scgba, he asked what is the 

adjective for Aunty corresponding with "avuncular" 

for Uncle ? We were still pondering over 

this philological problem when the party broke 

up at about 2.45 a.m. 

The next Dinner Dance will be held at the 

Savoy on 25th November WHICH IS A 

FRIDAY.

W.S.C. JUBILEE RETROSPECT 

A 

FTER stressing, in two paragraphs, the 

burden of advancing years it is pleasant to 

record that the WENGEN SKI CLUB, which 

celebrated its 50th Anniversary on 28th 

February, 1955, seems to increase in vigour as 

the years roll on. 

The organisation of the Jubilee celebrations, 

described and illustrated in later pages, was 

superb, and the organisers were blessed by 

perfect weather. Down the Nursery Slopes, under 

a blazing sun, swept a pageant of ski-ing from 

1905 to 1955, and the remarkable thing was that 

the costumes and equipment were entirely 

authentic. Unlike previous shows of this kind 

held elsewhere, Ernst Gertsch and his helpers had 

refused to allow 1905 skiers to use 1955 boots or 

bindings. In fact the authenticity was such that 

even the "body" on the Ambulance Luge had 

been snatched from the clinic and really had a 

broken leg! 

The early types were perhaps the most fascinating. 

The 1905 Swiss Army uniform had a 

vaguely Salvational look whereas the 1955 

soldiers, in their white overalls, seemed to have 

come straight from the Operating Theatre. Also 

one has only to look at the photographs on our 

centre pages to be charmed by the 1905 Swiss 

ladies mounted on barrel staves. 

The D.H.O. put on a 1925 Party, which performed 

creditably in Huitfeldt bindings, and a 

1955 Party divided into Racing and Glacier 

Touring sections. 

The 1955 exhibits included three avalanche 

dogs and when we met one of their handlers in the 

Eiger he astonished us by saying that their 

record for detecting bodies in an avalanche was 

5.60 metres (over 21 

feet). Our comment 

was that the body 

in question must 

have been one of 

those whose best 

friends won't tell 

them. 

I 

W 

E were only in Wengen for a brief fortnight 

last season but we carried back several 

memories. One was of a stout German lady 

poised at the top of the Bumps during the Sunday 

rush and saying lugubriously to her companion 

"Too few snows; too much peoples!" Then 

there was the character in the Schoenegg bar who, 

when ordering another drink, said: "I think I'll 

have this one on tick, Freda", whereupon Freda 

replied tactfully: "I'm sorry, but I think he left 

last night". After that we recall the predicament 

of Bertie Rowell when the zip-fastener on the 

pocket containing his season-ticket jammed. He 

was removed from the train at Wengernalp and 

when last seen was pinned to the floor of the 

Wartsaal by the W.A.B. staff, who were taking 

him to pieces with tools borrowed from the 

engine driver. 

Our last story is about a D.H.O. member who, 

for purposes of this narrative, we will call Smith. 

It seems that Smith was of the opinion that Karl 

Molitor's small boy should become acquainted 

with the national sports of all countries, and so 

he decided to make him a present of a football. 

He therefore went round to Hamages and 

selected a nice large one. Rejecting offers to 

deflate and parcel it, he bounced it proudly back 

to his flat for Mrs. Smith to admire and then 

instructed her to pack it in their luggage. 

The scene now 

shifts to a Wagon 

Lit where Smith, 

finding himself 

short of a dressing 

gown, reproached 

his wife for inefficient 

packing. She 

replied : "How 

could I put everything 

in when that 

damned football 

took up all the 

room?" K*§ 

THE PRESIDENT'S REVIEW 

T is pleasant to be able to record that the 1954-55 Season was one of the most successful in the 

history of the Club. The total number of Members, excluding the Coggins Section (45), jumped 

to 811, an increase of 83 over the previous year. The present figure is an all time record. 

Several Members of the D.H.O. excelled themselves in important races during the season, the 

outstanding performances being the winning of the British Championship by Nigel Gardner, and the 

Army and Inter-Services Championships by Charlach Mackintosh. The latter, together with Michael 

Hankey, were awarded the coveted D.H.O. Gold Badge. It is interesting to note that there are only 

twelve holders of this Badge in the world and that four of the twelve are members of the Mackintosh 

family—a truly remarkable performance. But then they are a remarkable family. 

The Coggins Section, which is under the supervision of at least two senior members of the 

Committee, goes from strength to strength. Judging by the number of parents who have written 

praising our system of training and of interesting the young hopefuls, it looks as if this scheme has 

been the cause of a number of additional people coming to Wengen. 

Our relationship with Wengen and its most efficient Kurverein have, as always, been most cordial. 

In no centre in Switzerland is the local British Club given so much willing assistance. 

Your Committee will continue to do their utmost to serve the interests of Wengen in general and 

the D.H.O. in particular. A. A. JARVIS.

JUNIOR TRAINING—Continued 

immediately upon the British Ladies' Slalom 

Championship, and—to the evident alarm of 

some of the Senior Ladies who feared uncharitable 

comparisons—down the same course. In the 

seniors Sue Holmes became the 1955 British Lady 

Slalom Champion, followed, at a very safe 

distance, by two D.H.O. members. Lesley 

Thompson's performance was nevertheless remarkable 

in that she had not been training with 

the Seniors at all, being in Grindelwald at the 

time solely by virtue of her office of S.C.G.B. 

Representative. In the Junior Championships 

the Ladies ran first so that it was impossible to 

avoid comparison with the Seniors. As will be 

seen from the race times printed at the beginning 

of this article, they did not disgrace themselves. 

With the exception of Carolyn Doran- 

Webb, who was dogged by misfortune, the 

performance of the D.H.O. Juniors was pretty 

well in keeping with their various merits as 

revealed throughout the training, although the 

exceptionally fine second run of Verity Lawrence, 

with which she wrested the Championship from 

Sarah Garnett—hot favourite even before she 

took the lead in the first run—delighted all 

Wengen hearts and sent us back full of jubilation 

to our side of the hill. "Training . . . did not pursue the Trainees into the 

evening."

BIRTHS, MARRIAGES 

AND DEATHS 

UR failing eyesight will no longer cope with 

O the first-column-on-the-left-as-you-go-in of 

the Times and so the only birth that we have 

recorded is one that we were pretty well bound to 

know about anyway, namely a son (James) to 

ALICIA RANKIN (nee Foster) on 25th July, 

1955, following upon a daughter (Annabelle) 

born last year. 

We are equally badly informed about weddings, 

but we can record that VORA MACK1NTOSCH 

was married to Richard Shaw-Stewart at 

Horsham on 11th June, 1955, and ANGELA 

STORN MOUTH-DARLING to Murray de 

Klee at St. Margaret's, Westminster, on 6th 

July, 1955. Our pleasure at hearing of Miss 

Stornmouth-Darling's marriage was tempered by 

regret that the Swiss custom of giving the 

surname first will no longer result in our hearing 

the name of the next competitor given over the 

"blower" as "Darling Angela". Finally, we 

omitted to announce in our last issue the marriage 

of SAM BRADFORD in the States. To all 

these couples we offer our best wishes. 

The Club has lost two old and valued members 

through the deaths of H. L. C. (Hans) ME1STER 

and W. T. (Bill) PERSHKE. Hans Meister joined 

the Club soon after the war and was a member of 

the Committee from 1951 to 1953. He died after

a long and painful illness. Bill Pershke joined the Club in 1930 and was a member of the Committee 

in 1937, 1938 and 1945/52. He was given the choice of an operation that might have prolonged his 

life but would have meant living as an invalid or of carrying on as he was for a shortened term of life 

and, with characteristic courage, he chose the latter course. Both of them will be sadly missed, and 

we tender our condolences to their wives and families. 

Members will also regret to hear of the death of A. S. GODFREY, D.H.O. member since 1951. 

who died in May, 1954, and of FRITZ STEURI of Scheidegg, one-time Swiss Champion and Arlberg- 

Kandahar winner, who was killed this summer in a climbing accident caused by the collapse of a 

cornice. 

SKI TOURING AND GLACIER SKI-ING 

Working on the principle of Equality of Opportunity, the Committee have decided that any D.H.O. 

Member may claim a subsidy towards the cost of Guides etc. for a Glacier Tour provided that he or 

she has a party of at least five D.H.O. Members and that application for the subsidy is made at the 

D.H.O. Office at least 12 hours before the trip is due to commence. This concession will be withdrawn 

if and when the Club funds set aside for subsidising Ski Touring are exhausted.

L. TO R.:—CAROLYN DORAN-WEBB (D.H.O.), 6th; ELSPETH NICHOLL, SARAH GARNETT, 

2nd; ELSPETH WHITLEY (D.H.O.), 3rd; VERITY LAWRENCE (D.H.O.), 1st; DEBORAH

THE 1954-1955 SEASON 

by Rosamond Hep worth 

HE season was active and progressive, the 

T Club keeping pace with the upswing of 

British ski-ing by providing a flexible programme. 

As entries for straight races were disappointing 

(except among children) we borrowed from our 

friends across the valley a form of easy handicap 

slalom which proved very popular. Next season 

there will be more No-Fall and Giant Slalom 

races. Ski Jumping, which has made great strides 

under Col. Digby Wyatt and Col. Legard, will 

take place throughout the Christmas holidays. 

Last season 20 members entered for Ski Jumping 

tests (one passed 2nd, ten passed 3rd and nine 

failed). The only other centre to hold tests 

(Zermatt) had five entries. 

Accidents last year, although fewer in number, 

tended to be more serious, and several were 

attributed to safety bindings coming off owing to 

bad adjustment. On the other hand one member 

(Miss Lesley Thompson) discarded safety bindings 

after two years' use and then had the 

misfortune to break both legs. Fortunately she 

has made a good recovery. 

D.H.O. racers were outstandingly successful. 

The laurels go to Nigel Gardner who became 

British Ski-running Champion. Although only 

out for a short time he also won the Duke of 

Kent for the second year running and was second 

to Rupert de Larrinaga in the Alpine Ski and to 

Hans Poulsen in the Lowlanders. In the Roberts 

of Kandahar he did the fastest time but unfortunately 

was disqualified. Congratulations are 

also due to Charlach Mackintosh who won the 

Army Championship at Bad Gastein and also 

won the Combined Services Championship at 

St. Moritz for the Army. In the Inferno at 

Murren he was only just beaten for the Montgomery 

Cup and although a fall near the finish of 

the Arlberg Kandahar Slalom put him out of the 

running informed foreigners commented favourably 

on his performance. The Club's Gold 

Badge was awarded to him and also to Michael 

Hankey, who made such a successful return to 

first-class racing after a season away in the 

tropics. 

The D.H.O. Office opened earlier than usual 

with very good weather conditions. The recently 

formed group of girl racers looked very smart in 

their newly-designed D.H.O. sweaters and more 

than held their own with the others, proving 

courageous pace-makers. 

The Club "Reps." were even busier than 

usual, especially during the school holidays, and 

we are most grateful for the help given to them 

by the Wengen Kurverein. The Kurverein were 

good enough to lend us extra watches, which 

Page Nineteen

enabled Hedley Gardner to make the timekeeping 

so perfect that it is accepted as official 

Wengen Standard timing. Although the new 

system needs four people it is a great improvement 

on the old. No longer must the "Rep." struggle 

alone, with frozen fingers, to cope with watch, 

pencil and paper as competitors flood in. 

Racing started with good weather and perfect 

snow and the results (printed elsewhere) show 

that the winners included Michael White, 

Elspeth Whitley, P. Bally, Nicky White, Christopher 

Meister, Michael Colett and Carolyn 

Doran-Webb. Seventeen juniors did the Standard 

in under four minutes. 

At the New Year you could hardly put a pin 

into Wengen. The Dutch Parties overflowed into 

the outer room of the Eiger and trains could 

hardly get into the station because of the crowds. 

However the W.A.B. produced more and more 

trains out of its hat and managed to get us all up 

the mountain. Ths new Mannlichen Cable 

Railway was a riotous success, giving speedy 

access to fast, easy and open slopes unspoilt by 

wind or sun. 

Perfect conditions in early January were 

followed by a break in the weather which interrupted 

the racing programme and resulted in the 

Junior Championship at Grindelwald being cut 

down to a slalom only, in which our large entry 

distinguished themselves. The Scalded Cats and 

Kittens Cups produced only two Cats and one 

Kitten, together with many more patient officials 

to stand by in the pouring rain. After a period of 

icy mist there was a Foehn which gave spring 

conditions under a brilliant sun for several days. 

On February 4th, Mrs. Shearing won the Heinz 

Cup and Michael Hankey passed his 2nd Class 

T 

Jumping Test. He and Charlach Mackintosh are 

the only two to get this since the war. 

The McMillan Cup was run down the Mannlichen-Grund 

course and it was like a glimpse 

from Sir Arnold Lunn's Golden Age to see 

competitors taking their own line from a 

gschmozzle start, the pulverschnee streaming out 

behind them. Michael Hankey was an easy 

winner but Dick Edmonds and Robert Giddings 

literally fought tooth and nail for second place. 

Later came the Wengen Golden Ski, presented 

by Col. Rogers and won by Mottram Rankin; the 

Sunday Times No-Fall Championship won by 

Michael Hankey from John Rampton, and the 

Wengen Ladies' No-Fall Championship which 

was won by Miss Lesley Thompson. The last 

race of the season was the Jarvis Cup (for D.H.O. 

members over 40) won over a short course at a 

fast pace by Ernst Gertsch from Rollo Hoare. 

Both membership of the Coggins and standard 

of ski-ing went up. Frances Doran-Webb won 

the Downhill Race over the Bumps as well as the 

Combined. William Irvine-Fortescue won the 

Junior Cup and Patricia Murphy the Senior 

Slalom. Non ski-ing events included a Fancy 

Dress Dance attended by over seventy children 

and friends as well as a tea party at the Eiger, the 

cost of which was kindly snared by Karl Fiichs. 

There were two gymkhanas and several runs 

going as far afield as the Lauberhorn and the 

Punch Bowl. 

We had an extra representative for the Coggins, 

and she is most grateful to the many parents who 

helped her. Next season there will be more 

instruction for both Seniors and Juniors. The 

new Clubroom for the Coggins will be open from 

18th December to 15th January. 

TRAINING FOR RACING 

T has been claimed that the S.C.G.B. system of training and team management is not above 

criticism (especially as regards the Ladies' Team) whereas the success of D.H.O. training is proved 

by the fact that D.H.O. trainees won both the British Championship (Men) and the British Army 

Championship last season, as well as by the number of Gold and Silver Lions awarded to D.H.O. 

trainees. This encourages the Committee to suggest that the training of Seniors should be left in the 

hands of the Club and to plan an even more comprehensive Training Scheme. 

Christopher Mackintosh, Hans Hankey and David Foster have therefore been asked 

to draw up a scheme for training and management and they have agreed to undertake this task. 

They hope to meet the Senior Trainees in London this autumn with a view to arranging a complete 

training scheme scheduled to start in Wengen on 17th December in preparation for the Junior and 

British Ladies' Championships. 

Last season we trained over 60 skiers (including Coggins) and as even larger numbers are 

expected next season the Committee have engaged three fully-qualified Swiss trainers, two full-time 

and one part-time, to conduct the training. This of course involves heavy expenditure and although 

we shall—as always—have the support of the ever-helpful Kurverein the Committee feel it necessary 

to adopt the recommendation of the S.C.G.B. that Affiliated Clubs organising Training Schemes 

should ask the parents of the trainees to contribute towards the cost of the scheme to the extent of 

25fcs. per week for trainees receiving full-day training and 15fcs. for half-day. These are not large 

sums, and it must be remembered that in many cases trainees receive benefits such as special terms on 

Railways and Ski Lifts. 

The training of the COGGINS will be in the hands of senior members of the D.H.O. aided by 

Swiss guides. The Coggins will be divided into Senior and Junior sections (based on ability and not 

on age) and their parents will be asked to contribute 15fcs. per week for Seniors and 5fcs. per week for 

Juniors.

FIFTY YEARS OF THE WENGEN SKI CLUB 

by Dr. Felix Wulkan 

Dr. Wulkan attended the celebrations of the Wengen Ski Club's Jubilee on 

behalf of several Swiss newspapers and he has been good enough to let us 

have a translation of his article published in the NEUE ZURCHER ZEITUNG. 

We publish this condensation by kind permission of the Editor of that journal. 

HE ski-club Wengen belongs 

T to the oldest ski-clubs in 

Switzerland and looks back on a 

successful history which to a 

certain extent is identical with 

the development of ski-ing in 

our country in general. The 

most important epoches in the 

five decades of existance which 

the ski-club Wengen celebrated 

a short time ago are the 

following:— 

It was Dr. Fritz Oetiker who 

was stationed at Eigergletscher 

as the railway doctor for the 

building of the Jungfraubahn 

who first brought skis into the 

Lauterbrunnental. Hans 

Lauener of Wengen was responsible 

for founding the skiclub 

Wengen which already in 1905 had its first 

race. In 1909/10 the Wengernalpbahn brought 

winter sports activities for the first time to the 

stretch Lauterbrunnen-Wengen and this meant the 

start of the winter sport season in Wengen. The 

year 1925 witnessed the foundation of the D.H.O. 

which having exclusively dedicated itself to alpine 

discipline acted as a spur for the young folk of 

Wengen to take on this new method of skirunning. 

The D.H.O. became in course of time 

the strongest section of the ski-club of Great 

Britain and has today more than 800 members. 

Between it and the ski-club Wengen a friendly 

association has grown up and this has proved a 

vital co-operation for the development of alpine 

ski-running. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary 

of the D.H.O. a few years ago and 

especially in the recent celebrations of the skiclub 

Wengen this point was especially brought 

to the fore. 

With the introduction of the "Combined 

Lauberhorn race" in the year 1930 the most 

successful period of the ski-club Wengen began. 

This was not only due to the large number of ski 

competitions which this club organised but also 

because of the numerous successes of its active 

members and thereby the Club gained a leading 

position in Swiss ski-ing circles. Names like 

Ernst Gertsch, von Allmen, Karl Molitor, Hedy 

Schlunegger, Fredy Rubi and others were to be 

read in the successful results of countless ski 

races from the period 1934/54. 

The ski-club Wengen celebrated 

the 50th jubilee of its 

existance by giving an impressive 

ski demonstration in which 

the start and development of 

ski-ing technique and the clothing 

of the last five decades were 

displayed for one hour on the 

Nursery Slopes in the centre of 

the village. Skiers on barrel 

staves and porters on skis 

(Eigergletscher Post) were seen 

in the original costumes of the 

period 1905 to 1914. The first 

military skiers and ski teachers 

together with guests brought 

one back to the time of the 

foundation of the D.H.O. in 

the year 1925. Ski teachers from 

the ski school of Wengen which 

was started in the early 1930's 

demonstrated the technique of those days. 

E. Gertsch and F. Graf who as the senior ski 

patrollers of Switzerland and who had already 

28 years of service showed the type of transport 

used for rescue service during the first 

years of their activities. 

Ski soldiers of our time brought one back to 

the present. Rescue services with Canadian 

sledges avalanche dogs and special equipment 

together with a demonstration in action by the 

members of the D.H.O. showed the extent of 

modern development. The ski school of Wengen 

ended the proceedings with a demonstration of 

classes 1-5 together with the class for children 

and showed also an impressive group run and a 

lively slalom competition. 

Those taking part played before about twothousand 

spectators, including Field-Marshal 

Lord Montgomery; Sir Arnold Lunn; Sir Adrian 

Jarvis, President of the D.H.O., and Ken Foster, 

Founder Member. Christian Rubi, the technical 

adviser of the Swiss ski school, showed himself to 

be an expert commentator. 

There finished up a joyous procession consisting 

of about 150 participants wearing the very 

varied apparel from the days of the beginning of 

ski-ing in Lauterbrunnental. The display was 

above all a very pleasant proof of the firm 

connections of Wengen with its ski-club.

REPORT ON D.H.O. GLACIER TOURING, SEASON 1955 

Due to unsuitable weather the touring fortnight had to be postponed and subsequently condensed 

into the first week of March. 

After a preliminary canter down Eismeer, and Goppenstein, a party of eight skied over the Oberand 

Unter-Monchjoch, down the Fiescherwand, across the Eismeer, rejoining the latter via the Kalli 

Firn above Grindelwald. This was the first time that all but one of the party had made this tour. It 

was carried out in ideal conditions—the drop of 8,000 ft. providing the best day's ski-ing of the season 

for many of the members. 

Two days later eight of us set off for Zermatt via the Ewigschneefeld, Trugberg and the 

Finsteraarhorn Hut, where we spent the night. Unfortunately a change in the weather prevented us 

climbing the Wannenhorn (as planned) so we contented ourselves with a superb run down the littleknown 

Fieschergletscher, arriving at Fiesch for lunch. We caught the train for Zermatt and were met 

by two American members of the D.H.O., Jean and Bob Ayer. Jean had virtually achieved the 

impossible by finding us rooms in a place already filled to overflowing, while Bob had arranged a 

magnificent banquet to celebrate our arrival. 

Next day our hosts, together with their guide, showed us the main soft-snow runs of Zermatt. 

Alas, still bearing the marks of the previous night's hospitality, the D.H.O. contingent did not exactly 

sparkle as the snow. 

On the following day four of the party returned to Wengen while the remainder climbed up to 

Testa Grigia and skied down to Brieul on the Italian side. After an early start we returned to Zermatt 

next morning and then home by train. 

The Club will organise a Glacier Touring Group during the latter half of February and beginning 

of March 1956. The main idea will be to introduce members to Glacier Touring with easy one-day 

trips, while not losing sight of the pioneer traditions of the Club in carrying out one or two skimountaineering 

expeditions off the beaten track. 

These tours will be subsidised and in addition to the officially organised parties any member of 

the Club who makes up a private party of not less than five definite starters (who must, of course, all 

belong to the Club) and a guide, will be eligible to participate in this subsidy provided that at least 

12 hours'notice is given to the D.H.O. Office prior to the commencement of the trip. R.E.H.E.

A BUSY DAY FOR THE PRESIDENT 

Accompanied by Ernst Gertsch and Karl Molitor he meets Lord Montgomery and then, oblivious of the fact 

that the Field Marshal is a teetotaller, selects the wine in the Palace Hotel cellars. 

DOUBTFUL PARENTS PLEASE READ! 

T^HE organisers of the D.H.O. Training Scheme 

find it difficult to convince some parents that 

participation in the scheme will neither break all 

their child's limbs nor ruin its holiday by regimentation. 

The first doubt can be countered by 

quoting the excellent record 

as regards accidents, 

and in an attempt to deal 

with the second a letter 

was sent to the parents 

of all the 1954/55 trainees 

asking them: (1) whether 

their offspring had enjoyed 

the training as 

much as an ordinary 

holiday; (2) whether it 

was felt that the training 

schedule was too 

strenuous; and (3) what 

they considered the 

approximate percentage 

improvement in ski-ing after the D.H.O. training 

Most surprisingly, every single parent replied, 

and it is a pity that we have not space to print 

their letters in full. All the answers to Question 

1 were in the affirmative (the majority being most 

enthusiastically affirmative) 

and the replies to 

Question 2 indicated 

approval of the present 

schedule, although one 

parent added that it 

should not be made any 

more strenuous; a point 

that has been noted by 

the organisers. Estimates 

against Question 3 varied 

from 20% up to 'over 

100%' improvement. One 

parent gave it as 20% 

improvement in speed 

and 40% in style.

YOU NEED TWO STRINGS TO YOUR BOW! 

by John Alton 

HAT skiers are an extraordinary 

T bunch of people must be acknowledged 

because who but they would go 

away for a holiday expecting to break 

something, whether it be perhaps a 

speed record but more probably a leg. 

Who but they would unexpectedly return 

whole with a feeling of amazement at 

having cheated the Fates and Furies, 

the "hoopsnagels" and other beastlinesses 

which lurk on "Shoulders", 

"Bumps" and "Gaps"? That the 

majority of skiers are short-sighted and 

take no thought for future years is not 

so clear to them as it is to Curlers. 

Time marches on, even for skiers, and 

year by year they find that they have 

more weight and less wind; they work 

less hard until in time an occasional "Siding" or 

"Woodpath" satisfies their waning self conceit. 

The awful time comes when they decide that just 

for one year they will not go out. That is the 

beginning of the end when Wengen will be but 

a memory of the past as they spend their winters 

irritably at home. 

Surely the wise skier, and even youth can be 

wise, should have more than one string to his 

bow. He should have more than one sport at 

his command and what better as a second choice 

than Curling. "Damme, Sir", the Gentle Reader 

will now explode if he is still with me, "Damme, 

Sir, 1 am not yet senile; why should I with my 

glorious Racing Pin (or humble Bronze Badge) 

take up an Old Man's game?" That is the sort 

of remark to be expected from those whose only 

knowledge of the game is gleaned from standing 

in the village street in the intervals between riding 

uphill, sliding downhill and quaffing "Kleine 

Helles" and "Grosses Dunkels" in the Eiger. 

Your idea of the game is all wrong; there is 

more exercise, more fresh air, more skill and infinitely 

more team work and camaraderie in 

Curling than in "piste" skiing. This statement is 

bound to be challenged and facts will be demanded 

to prove the truth of it. 

The amount of heat generated and energy 

consumed by an enthusiastic Curler is considerable 

and not clearly to be proven to a nontechnical 

Skier in terms of foot-pounds of energy 

or horse power/hour. Let us therefore use simple 

words. A Curler is expected to move accurately 

during the course of his morning and afternoon 

game nearly three-quarters of a ton of granite 

somewhat more than forty yards. If by mischance 

or by reason of "hangover" he moves 

the granite either too far or not far enough, or in 

the wrong direction, the look he will get from his 

Skip will be more eloquent than any words which 

could be used in public. And if you think that is 

Page Thirty 

enough for one day, let me add that he 

will have to walk nearly five miles in 

attendance on the stones of the other 

three members of his team ready and, 

1 hope, anxious to sweep with all his 

energy and weight when ordered so to 

do. Is it any wonder that Curlers are 

always thirsty at noon? 

As for fresh air whoever heard of a 

Curler spending half his day as a paying 

guest of the W.A.B., probably sitting 

on the silver grill and equally probably 

facing uncomfortably downhill, ready 

to shout "Draught" as soon as anyone 

lets a little fresh Alpine air into the fug. 

Of course you say that you are going up 

to get the sun and that as soon as it 

appears Curlers have the blinds drawn to keep 

it off. Contrary to popular belief those blinds 

are not drawn so as to protect the ice; it is a 

pandering to the innate modesty of Curlers who 

would hate to return home at the end of 

their holidays so bronzed as to be conspicuous 

among their less fortunate fellows who have not 

been able to get away from fog and rain. 

And you men Skiers who bring your glamorous 

non-skiing wives to Wengen, do you ever give a 

thought to them left idle and in peril of wolves in 

Wengen while you are selfishly enjoying yourselves 

higher up? Of course you don't. You 

should order or persuade them (I leave it to you 

to decide which) to Curl so that you may enjoy 

yourselves the more knowing that they are not 

getting into mischief or shops. You can imagine 

what a delight it will be to you in the evening 

when sometimes instead of you boring her with 

stories of your prowess on skis the little one will 

tell you with pride how she laid a perfect guard 

at the ninth end and won the match for her side 

by drawing the shot through an incredibly 

narrow port at the last end. 

Members of the D.H.O. enjoy themselves in a 

crowded and smoky atmosphere at the weekly 

Dutch parties at the Eiger. Surely not the least 

advantage of learning to Curl and of joining the 

Wengen Curling Club is that you will be privileged 

to take part in a Monday evening Dutch 

party at the Silberhorn when the air will be less 

foul and the talk less loud than at the D.H.O. 

"geschmozzles". Come to think of it you don't 

even have to be a member of the W.C.C. to be 

admitted to the Silberhorn. You would be welcome 

and no undue pressure would be exerted on 

you to wean you away from skiing every day. 

In anticipation of the enormous rush to the ice 

which these notes are sure to cause, the Kurverein 

are prepared to make sufficient ice available.

TWO STRINGS TO YOUR BOW—Continued 

When the Kurverein and Palace rinks are full of 

Curlers and when the skaters have been banished 

to Wengernalp or Lauterbrunnen more ice will 

be made. Modern methods of moving earth and 

T 

HE Cup was given as long ago 

as March 1898, by Mr. N. L. 

Jackson to be competed for 

annually by curling clubs in 

Switzerland. 

In those far-off days curling was 

in its infancy and was chiefly confined 

to the British, having been 

exported from Scotland, together 

with whiskey, (God bless the 

Scots for both) some years earlier. 

Curling as a winter sport in 

Switzerland, has now become 

second only to skiing. It has now 

thousands of devotees in the civilised 

world, where it is played both 

outdoors on natural ice and indoors 

on artificial ice and always "a good time is 

had by all". 

Curlers are a friendly and jolly race and should 

one of their team become distressed, over exhausted, 

or lacking in courage during a strenuous 

contest, there is generally a convenient bar where 

a corrective can be obtained. This does not apply 

only to the sick and walking wounded, if any, 

but chiefly to the eight players who have had a 

very enjoyable match and feel in need of a little 

refreshment. 

The Jackson Cup has now become the Blue 

Ribband of Curling and the names of most of the 

great players appear on it in the teams that they 

have represented in winning the trophy. 

For the 1955 competition the Trustees of the 

Cup asked the Jungfrau Curling Club which is 

the Swiss Club in Wengen to organise the event. 

This was held on the Wengen Curling Rinks and 

they made a very great success of it. 

Amongst the sixteen entries, the cream of 

curling in Switzerland, were the Wengen Curling 

Club, (the British Curling Club in Wengen), 

represented by W. K. Robertson, Skip, E. 

Buhlmann (4), J. Dewar (3) and L. W. Strong (2). 

During the course of the competition, which 

was held on January 19th and 20th, the 

Wengen Curling Club defeated Thun and Bern 

THE JACKSON CUP 

By P.M.H. 

The "Winning Team 

rock make it not impossible for the Brunner 

slopes to be made flat for delectation of Paul and 

to the distress of Ros. By the way, Ros, will you 

be curling next winter? 

Wirte and then Kandersteg in the 

final; a thrilling match, watched 

by a large and enthusiastic gallery. 

Of course everybody in Wengen 

was delighted by the result, 

which was a great triumph for the 

Wengen Curling Club and for Mr. 

W. K. Robertson the skip who, 

playing Number One, was an 

inspiration to his team. 

One of the features of the final 

was the very sporting way in 

which the match was played, and 

the charming way in which the 

losers took a beating with a smile 

on their faces. 

It is interesting to recall that the Wengen 

Curling Club has only once before been in 

the final, when the competition was held at 

Gstaad in 1938. The club was then represented 

by George Paxton, skip, who was one of the most 

enthusiastic spectators in the 1955 final, W. K. 

Robertson the 1955 skip, Gilbert Carmichael and 

A. Rowell. They were defeated by Engelberg 

after a very close match. The skip of the Engelberg 

team was the late Sir John Jarvis whose son, 

Sir Adrian Jarvis, is the President of the D.H.O. 

and a prominent member of the W.C.C. 

At the presentation of the cup, Mr. Peter 

Lehmann, the vice-president of the Jungfrau 

Curling Club, made a very charming speech and 

asked Mr. J. N. Lamont, the President of the 

Wengen Curling Club, to accept the trophy on 

behalf of the Club. Mr. Lamont, having made 

a very suitable reply, asked Miss Sybil Kerrison, 

a very well known member of the Wengen 

Curling Club to present the individual prizes to 

the winners and the runners-up. 

A very jolly dinner was held at the Regina 

Hotel, thanks to the Jungfrau Curling Club and 

to Herr and Frau Reinert. Everyone agreed 

that the holding of the Jackson Cup meeting for 

1955 in Wengen, quite apart from the victory of 

the Wengen Curling Club, had been a great 

success.

RULES — {continued) 

5. («) The Officers and Elective Members of the Committee 

shall be elected at the Annual General Meeting and shall 

hold office until the next Annual General Meeting after 

their election. 

(b) The Committee shall propose candidates at the Annual 

General Meeting to fill the posts of Officers and Elective 

Committee Members and shall select such candidates by 

ballot. An Officer or Elective Member who has in the 

previous year failed to attend at least two meetings of 

the London Committee (unless prevented by illness or 

absence abroad) and/or who has not, in the previous 

three years*, been in Wengen during the winter season 

is not eligible for re-election. Due notice of the names of 

all candidates to be proposed shall be posted to every 

member of the Club at least three weeks before the 

Annual General Meeting and if special circumstances 

have necessitated any deviation from this rule, such 

notice shall contain an explanation to that effect.

Members' List, igjyig36 

Will members please advise us at once of any errors or omissions'? We have given up printing SCGB qualifications other 

than the Kacing Pins because the fact that Aunty's "Members' Handbook" does not appear until long after we have gone to 

press makes it impossible to include Tests passed in the previous season, and we have found that this is apt to create despondency. 

The abbreviations used after the figures giving the year of election are :—

Just as we go to press we learn, with deep sorrow, of the 

death on 7th October of Mrs. PAULINE ELIZABETH 

CLEAVER (nee Hepworth) at an early age after a sudden 

illness. Mrs. Cleaver, who joined the D.H.O. in 1939, was the 

daughter of our Hon. Treasurer, Paul Hepworth, and the wife 

of G. N. (Mouse) Cleaver, who is himself a prominent skier. 

We are also informed of the death of Major G. F. (George) 

KILLWICK, who joined the Club in 1936 with his wife, Wendy 

Killwick.
