bIrg neople however, TO apply for a sanctloh II
such action involves any radical changing OF the
rlsns which have been formulated The Harrls-
hurz club has for the last two years conducted
successful contests which. unlike many others.
have been marked by an entire absence OF protests
or Disbursements. The same officials VINO eC'eu
i tho two revious contests will conduct the test
tbis wear and rules similar to those used last year
will prevan. The Harrisburg committee feeis that
the success in conducting its own contests entities II
IA ne free from any undue interference from the
contest committee of the American Automoohe AS
socistion II the latter body feels that II should
review all Of the acts and findings of the harris
burg officials. and in this way puts premium upon
ANNALS from the decision Of the local committee It
is doubtful if an application for sanction will be
made
