HILL CLIMBING
INTEREST GROWS
AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS GIVEN
FREEDOM OF PARKWAY.
Timing of Saturdays Racing to Be
Done by the Daytona, Fla, Plan
AT Least Forty Cars Will Start In
the Six Glasses Course to Be Sur
yeyed.

Arrangements are about complete for
the big hill climbing contest of Satur-
day afternoon. The event will be under
the direction of the Minneapolis Automo-
bile club, and only bad weather can mar
the prospective sport.
At meeting Of the park board held
last night Asa Paine appeared before the
committee and outlined the plans Of tho
club and requested the use Of the park
way for the afternoon. Permission was
granted the club to use the driveway
between Emerson and South, Newton. The
club proposes to have surveyor go over
the route to be traversed by the cars
and the distance will be measured and
marked, SO that future contests Of the
kind may be held without going to this
trouble again. ~.
The cars will be divided into six classes,
as previously outlined in h our n a l.
Entries have been numerous, and about
forty cars will race against time. AS the
entries do not close until Friday night,
it is possible that the number may ex-
coed forty. It was first planned to have
each car carry full complement Of pas
sengers, but this has been waived and
the motors will carry only the drivers.
The timing will be done by the same
system in use in the Daytona, Fla, races.
booth wall be set up at the starting
line and at the finish three booths will
be in place. The drivers Of cars will be
given 100 feet in which to start AS they
approach the line the official at the phone
will warn the timers at the end of the
course by saying coming" AS the car
crosses the line the official will call
time into the phone and the timers
Will start their watches. This method of
| timing has proven satisfactory in the
Florida speed trials, and should be equally
acceptable in the local event.
| Every possible precaution will be takef,
| to insure the safety of the spectators and
participants. Flagmen will be placed
along the course to keep the way clear
and all participants have been requested
to see to 1t that their cars are in first
class condition before the start is made
It is expected that the contests will at
tract large crowd.

old RECORDS
ARE ABOLISHED |
INTERSCHOLASTIC ASSOCIATION
WINDS UP BUSINESS. u.
Some Of the Old Marks Were Of
Doubtful Authenticity, and Marks
Made at Last Meeting Will Govern
Request for Professional Coaches
to Be Acted Upon.

A new record slate was established yes
terday at the meeting Of the directors Of
the Northwestern Interscholastic associa-
ton held in ST. Paul. The business af-
fairs Of the year were settled up, and the
association was found to be in an excel
lent condition.
The association dates it's existence from
1883, and in some instances events which
were held at that time have been abol-
Iished. Some of these were bicycle races,
half-1nile walks hitch kick, standing high
and, broad jumps, hop, step and jump and
punt kick. The card has been narrowed
down to fourteen events, and, as some Of
the previous records were doubtful as to
authenticity, 1t was decided to begin anew
and take as marks the records made at
the recent meeting at Northrop field.
Another reason for the0 change Is the
fact that the association has been prac-
tically reorganized and it is felt that it
should have its own records instead of
clinging to the old ones. Some of the old
records were so low as well as Of doubtful
authenticity that present day athletes had
little hope of breaking an association rec
ord. It is thought that the change will
make the young athletes more ambitious
to break records and better sport will re-
suit
| An amendment to the constitution was
also proposed and will be sent to the
school board Of each city for ratification.
There is a clause which states that after
1.-THE year 1908 no coach nor trainer should
be employed by any school Of the asso-
c!ation who is not a member of the
school faculty It was voted to strike
this clause from the constitution, as
most Of the schools are not provided with
faculty members who are competent to
coach and therefore outsiders will have
| to be employed. 90

Menominee, Mich, June s.-Prominent
members of the Menominee Queen Gun
club are perfecting plans for the organ
ization of the Upper Peninsula Associa-
ton of Gun Clubs, to be composed of gun
clubs in Menominee, Escanaba, Green
Bay, Iron River, Marquette, Kenton,
Houghton, Calumet, Iron Mountain and
other cities.
It is within the past few years that
clay pigeon shooting has become popular
in the upper peninsula, in fact, Menominee
has led in this sport, and it is largely
thru the encouragement Of it's members
that gun clubs have been organized in
other cities Of the upper peninsula. Not
only will the gun club promote interest In
trap shooting, but it will work in uni
son and render the game wardens valu-
able assistance in their work.
