Ski jumping is a Norwegian sport.
The skis are about yard long. slight
ly turned up in the front. They are
made Of wood and are fastened to the
wearer's shoes and resemble the run
ners of a sled.
In a competition the contestants
start down a steep hill at full speed.
In the middle Of the hill a projecting
ledge of snow is formed. the upper
part Of which has less slope than the
hill itself In fact, at its edge 1t Is al
most horizontal From there there is
a sudden drop of about ten feet, be-
yond which the hill continues at a
steep angle for about a quarter Of a
mile. 1t is taking this drop that is
most dangerous. When a competitor
leaves this ledge he shoots up in the
.ir to a height of nearly fifty feet. from
which he descends like a meteor
Should he not land squarely on his
skis a serious accident is probable.
At all places where ski jumping
meets are held physicians are in at

must be more than twenty-six years

A racing skeleton toboggan has a
sliding seat. so that the rider may

and are quite smooth. except just at
the end. where they are grooved.

There is little need of commenting at any length upon the play given by the normal Tuesday evening for the reason that at least nine tenths of the local readers of these columns were there and saw it. The auditorium was nearer filled on Tuesday night than it ever was before, and its capacity of over a thousand came near being taxed. The lower floor was crowded and the balcony was comfortably filled. It seemed as if half of Tempe was pres ent with good representations from both Phoenix and Mesa.
 The play was Just Out of College" Ia clever little comedy in three acts and very well suited for the occasion.
