SKI RUNNERS WILL NOT
START FROM ELY AS STATED.

Tie Arrowhead cross-country ski
relay race, originally scheduled over
a route from Ely to Virginia, has
been switched to a course along the
Mesaba range and will run from
Hibbing to Virginia on Tuesday, Feb.
%, according to announcement made
by c. S. Chase, secretary of the
Arrowhead Ski Association.
Hibbing, Duluth and Virginia will
enter teams of five men each in the
cross country run. The detailed
course to be covered by the skiers in
the race will be laid out this week.
Teams winning first and second
places will be presented with gold
and silver medals.
According to tentative plans, the
cross-country run will start from
Hibbing at 10 a. m. on February %.
The members of the three teams to
participate will run from three to
five miles each.
Considerable interest is being de-
veloped along the range in the relay
distance run especially since it was
decided to shorten the course to the
Mesaba range route rather than the
route from Ely to Virginia.
