SEtE TOURNEY AT DULUTH
FEB. ATTRACTS ATTENTION

Much interest is centered i'm the big
tournament of the Duluth Skee club,
which is to be held on Feb. y. Not
excepting the national tournament
Duluth is conceded to have the larg-
est affair of the National association
and the coming event will even out
class last years, for the reason that
last season two were held, but this
year only one is scheduled so that the
entire enthusiasm of the club goes into
this one meet
For a time II was a question as to
finally decided on the latter and will
make it "A large affair.
Already the club is assured of the
attendance of such star riders as An
ders Haugen and brother Lars, of
Chippewa Falls; August Nordby, SUI
perior; ole Mangseth. Colerine: Toi-
lief Hemmenstvedt Eau Claire; and
the winner of the national tourna-
ment at Chippewa Falls. Francis
Kempe of Red Wing. Besides all
these riders will be all of the Duluth
ski riders of note.
Despite the fact that other cities
lay claim to the greatest slide of them
all it is a well known fact that two of
the longest jumps ever made were on
the Duluth hill. one of 144 feet last
year and the other $50 feet this year.
Both were unofficial, but were reg
istered by reliable authorities.
In the amateur class there will be
Barnel Riley, who still maintains his
place at the top of the amateur class.
He won this distinction at the national
tournament held i'm Chippewa Falls,
his distances being greater than the
old professionals and former record
holders. He is very steady, and very
rarely meets a fall. He is still small
of stature, but he has the form and
the spring for great work. He learned
the game on the hills of Ishpeming, he
being a resident of that place i'm his
early boyhood. In his regular run he
scored us feet in his first and 121 i'm
his second. Barney knows the advan-
tage of not trying for to much when
running for prizes, as a fall takes
many points from ones score. He
plays safe and his average is high.

ton as preacher to those who have
heard him, for each sermon is a tri-
umph, but his ability as 81 lecturer is
rot so generally known here, as he has
faithfully given all his time to his
pastoral work since coming to Laur-
ium. The Juniors feel that, like the
bridegroom at the Cana OF Galilee
wedding they have kept the good wine

of the Worthwhile schools, says that
Rev. Ward was one of the best lectur-
ers on their Y M. c. A. course, which
included Washington Gardner, Donald
McLauren and others The Worthwhile

delivered and most interesting of the
whole course and that he was greeted
by the largest, most-enthusiastic au-
diences. There are other testimonials
just as good and the testimonials on
his other lectures give him equaI
praise.
The Juniors are confident of a full

they are giving so much for too small

RAISING CORN IN
UPPER PENINSULA.
[. N. GEISMAR, OF CHATHAM,
AUTHOR OF VALUABLE Bull
LETlN DEALING WITH
SUBJECT.

Corn Production in the Upper Pen
insula of Michigan" is the title of Il
bulletin, written by L. NJ. Geismar of
Chatham, which is published in the
annual report of the state board Of
agriculture for 1910. While there Is
widespread belief that corn cannot
successfully be grown i'm northern
Michigan, MIR. Geismar declares that
corn was grown here by the Indians,
probably long before Columbus dis
covered America, and that essentially
the same variety of corn that was
grown three centuries ago is still be-
ing raised in a small way i'm Chippewa
county
Mr. Geismar's experiments at the
state farm at Chatham, backed up by
farmers, leads him TO the belief that
certain varieties Of corn can be grown
here as well as any other grain crop.
The varieties commonly raised farther
south are not a success here, at least
until acclimated Dakota white flint,
Gehu, a yellow flint and Golden Dent
have been found best adapted 20 this
climate among the field corns, and
Minnesota No. 10 and Golden Ideal
are the best for ensilage and silage.
To grow corn successfully i'm the
upper peninsula, the matter of varie-
ty is important. as also is soil and Cul-
tural methods. Good air Drainage is
important and therefore corn should

Ing ground. with a sandy loan of well
drained clay loan soil. Fall blowing
and turning under a clover sod or
coating of manure have been found 20
hasten growth i'm the northern part of
tho peninsula. The best results will
be obtained by planting in checks and
Uultivating both ways. this affording
tho plants more heat and light and so
fastening their growth.
Planting should be done early, as
late spring frosts, even though heavy,
are less serious than light frosts in
the fall before the corn has matured.
ABOUT May 20 has been found the best
time for planting during an ordinary
season i'm the central portions of the
district and at elevations of from $50
to 900 feet. At lower attitudes and
near lake shores. planting can safely

Fans in Marquette are we'll pleased

SPORTING NEWS OF THE WORLD
few CHANGES MADE IN THE
FOOTBALL RULES FOR 1911

Few changes in the football rules for
1911 were made by the inter- collegiate
rules committee at its recent session at
New York The most important revi-
sions were made in the time between
quarters and the forward pass rule.
With T. X Hall, Of Dartmouth. as
chairman, and Walter Camp as secre-
tary. the committee decided that in
termissions were too long and reduced
the periods between the first and Sec
ond and the third and fourth quarters
from three minutes to two minutes. A
new rule was adopted permitting
teams by agreement to transfer the
supervision Of off-side play upon the
line OF scrimmage from umpire to
head linesman. The inesman, how
ever. is to report any infraction to the
umpire.
Fewer Men on Side Lines.
Another new rule adopted provides
that throwing a player to the ground
after the referee has declared the ball
dead may be considered unnecessary
roughness. An amendment was adopt
ed allowing only three men TO walk
up and down the field on each side of
the line. The present rule allows five
men. IF the ball accidentally strikes
an official. provides another amend
ment, it shall not become dead. but
play shall continue.
A new rule adopted specifies that all
penalties under the rule regulating the
forward pass shall be applied from
the spot of the down and not on the
spot from which the pass was made.
Umpire to Keep Time.
The committee transferred the duty
of keeping time from the field Judge
to the umpire, and in rule Is, section
=, which provides that a player in
catching for a pass shall not be tach-
ed or shouldered until he has caught
the ball and taken more than one step
i'm any direction" the words taken
more than one step in any direction"
were stricken out.
After the conference Mr. Hall said:
The reason that the committee made
so few changes is that we feel the
game has accomplished what the new
rules started out to do-the elimina
ton of serious injuries-and that it
was now a safe and playable game II
seemed unwise to make any changes
with a game that worked pretty we'll
after the coaches and players got the
understanding of it. until we are rea-
sonably certain in light Of further ex-
perience. whether any changes are
necessary and what the changes
should be-"
