the spring harbinger notes OF an ltal'
ian's hurdy-gurdy. the directors of the
Chicago Speedway Association yester-
day formulated plans for the first OF
three professional automobile races to
be held on the two-mile Tamarack
course this season. The inaugural

In dcciding to stage midde-dis

The series of athletic events that are

pupils of the seventh and eighth
grades of the public and parochial
schools Is one OF the finest things
that has ever been done to deyelope
the future greats" Miss Eustis is
being assisted in the work by Har-
old Woodward and Lathrop Follett OF
the Ottawa high school
Athletes should be developed in the
grammar schools and especially while
the youngsters are in the seventh and
eighth grades. When they enter high
school, and II they care to take an
active part in the high school athlet
les, they will find that the prelimin-
airy training received will be big as
set. t...e
Athletic training for the pupils in
the public and parochial schools here
has been seriously neglected. Now,
with the high school gym AMI arm
DRY available, there Is no reason why
athletic contests should not be stag
ed each week between the various
schools
The plans of Miss Eustis called con
tests In gymnastic drill, military
training, captain ball, passing relay.

Is the time, more so than ever, for the

such a director Is not new thing to
many communities. Joliet has had one

three assistants look after this
