“HE’S A GOOD SPORT”
HIS FIRST MOUNTAIN RACE

Steady Climb Proved too Much Tor

"I’m glad that Eckman won,” stated
Werner Ohls, Anchorage runner who
finished second in the Fourth of July
Marathon mountain race. “Eckmann
is a fine sport. When I came over to
Seward a week ago to look the moun
tain over and make a trial spin up
the crest Eckman informed me he
would show me the route he was go
ing to take, which he did. He point
ed out everything warning me of cer
tain things and conditions to be on
guard against in the race, things
which I would not have been familiar
with owing to the race being new and
strange to me. He held nothing back.
That’s why I am glad he won. He’s
a good sport!”
Ohls said the race was the tough
est he has ever been in and those
have been numerous during his long
athletic career. His leg muscles have
been developed for long distant cross
country running and not for moun
tain climbing so in entering the race
Sunday he was going in under a great
handicap. Ohls admitted himself he
did not expect to finish In the money
at all but gave the best he had any
way as long as he was running. He
feels with a few weeks of practice
he might have a fairly good oppor
tunity next year and that is what he
is planning to do right now. come
over to Seward a couple weeks in ad
vance next year and make another at
tempt at it.
Ed Vogl, who came in third, said
last evening that if Ohls trained for
the race, he would beat all entrants.
Few know of the record behind
