NENANA ICE CONTEST
 TO CLOSE TOMORROW

The registration of guesses in the annual Nenana ice pool will end promptly at noon tomorrow, by which time all tickets must be in the boxes, All of the officials boxes, in which tickets are deposited, will be sealed at that hour, and turned over to the committee in Nenana, and to representatives of the com mittee at Fairbanks. Anchorage. Healy, Eska and other points along the railroad guessing is in progress.
 The committee has requested The News to remind all guessers to be very careful in marking their tickets to mark them plainly and to be sure their names are attached. In the case of combinations, the names of all composing the combination should be on at least one of the tickets, for the information of the committee.
 In the payment of the money, af- ter the ice moves, the committee will be guided entirely by the name or names appearing on the winning ticket or tickets. Should there be agreements between guessers, the di vision of money must be made by the winner, after the money has been turned over to the committee.
 Up to the present time total of twelve thousand tickets have been printed and turned over to the com mittee, and it is expected that at least another thousand will be need ed tonight There are less than one thousand unsold tickets in Nenana a. the present time, which means that the 1923 pool will be far the biggest in the history of Alaska breakup guessing.
 Two big combinations have been formed, each member of the group putting in s25. And there is also combination of ladies, styling themselves the Sweet Sixteen com bination. They are putting in s each.
 Several oldtimers have invested $500 or more in guesses up to the present. time and probably will mark many more tickets before the pool closes.

The official time will be recorded by a blast of the fire whistle, blown automatically by the movement of the ice, the arrangement being such that the clock in the power house will be stopped at the same time, on the minute the ice sheet moves in front of Nenana
 Seconds do not count in determin- ing the official time For instance, it is 12 o'clock until the recording hand of the clock indicates one full minute after, and so on around the dial :.
 Do not mark seconds. Tickets
