A crowd of 5,000 jammed Little CottonAlta wood Canyons over the weekend. week All the promoted pages thrill-a-minu- sports Nation- te al Gelande Championships at Alta. ABC televisions appearance gave credence to it by moving its Vide World of Sports crew onto the scene. The grinding away of movie footage was ever present in final jumps. Last year Park Citys Bill Latimer thrilled the tall. He later went on to throng with a win the overall title. He was an amateur. And so it was last weekend. The amateurs again stole the show. An additional $500 ABC purse was added to the $900 in prizes Alta had offered. It was decided to offer $250 for the longest jump, $150 for second and $100 for third. This, for . professionals. Snow Basins Cal Ross, an amateur, was a forejumper. He went high onto the mountain. An icy inrun assured him top speed. He appeared in control as he soared over head at the mark. But something happened. He was thrown backward. He hit that way, 195 feet away. It was later determined he suffered a fractured back. Altas Alf Engen was worried. Was the extra $500 offered by ABC going to bring tragedy to his Alta? Only professionals could compete for the prize. And then, right when the crowd had settled back to enjoy the perfect afternoon, Brent Elliott took his spot above the inrun. A bright flash of yellow zipped through the sky. Elliott was not brought up on skis like many of those at Alta that day. He learned from his brother Gordon, reported Gordons wife Carol before the jump. Now hes doing things on skis Gor- don wouldnt do, she said, halfway pleased. Elliott didnt appear off balance until his descent. He went 171 feet until impact. The crowd was again rewarded for its trip to the canyon. Elliott scampered to his feet and walked away unhurt. 172-fo- ot 150-fo- As at a Olym- pus High School, Dudnick was not exactly a hot reemit for Pete Carlson, Utah track-fielcoach.
