COOKE GATHERING SUBMITS
PAPER HONOR|NG SHELLEY
Resolution Is Presented Requesting That New Park
Highway Be Officially Designated AS the
Shelley Skyway Highway

AS a tribute to the man who
worked for the better part of
eight years in securing an appro-
priation from congress for the
construction of the new Red Lodge
Cooke City approach highway to
Yellowstone National park, Cooke
City's old timers and the people in
attendance at the annual Fish Fry
day celebration held in the mining
town Sunday conferred a special
and significant honor on O. H. P.
Shelley of Red Lodge when they
drew up and adopted a resolution
requesting that the new park
route be known hereafter as the
Shelley Skyway Highway to Yell
lowstone National Park"
This feature of the annual cell
ebration in the Beartooth mining
camp, which was held this year in
honor of Mr.. Shelley, was pre-
sented at a special program at
II o'clock Sunday morning ar
ranged especially for the Red
Lodge publisher.
On an improvised platform
there were gathered the honor
guest, Mr.. Shelley; j. H. Stinson,
acting chairman of this years
celebration; Ben Greenough, we'll
known Beartooth mountain guide,
and his son Bill who managed this
years rodeo at the event; George
Beller of Gardiner, member of the
game department in the Cooke
district and a former oldtime resi-
dent of the town, and l.. M. Prill,
chairman of the committee on ar
engagements of the Fish Fry day.
Mr.. Stinson opened the program
with an address in which he re-
viewed interesting bits Of history
of the camp, telling of some of his
own experiences during the early
days and striking comparisons as
to the Cooke City of yesterday and
of today. He closed with a fitting
tribute and eulogy to Mr.. Shelley
whom he declared could never be
repaid for his efforts in making
the new highway a reality and
bringing Cooke City it's greatest
boom in history. This statement
was accepted with prolonged APP
plause by the large audience.
Mr.. Greenough and his son were
next introduced and both respond
ed with brief talks, Mr.. Greenough
telling some oldtime experiences
and giving his own version of how
it feels to be the head of a famous
rodeo family.
The next speaker introduced
was Mr.. Beller, who, although not
an oldtimer of Cooke City, lived
in the mining camp 81 years ago
and consequently was able to give
his audience a vivid picture of life
in the camp as it was in its earl
lest days. His talk was met with
a tremendous reception by the as
sembly.
Mr.. Shelley was then introduced
and outlined briefly the long years
of work that were required before
construction of the new highway
was made possible. Many diff
culties and disappointments
marked the securing of the ST.
100000 federal appropriation now
being expended in constructing the
road, he said, and Obstacles that
at times seemed insurmountable
and caused many to declare that
the project never would become a
reality had to be overcome before
his efforts met with success and,
amidst much applause, declared
emphatically that the new route
would fast become the most SEN

A Strange Example.
r RECALL once talking with the
i late Douglas Edgar, a fine golfer
and q brilliant instructor.
Edgar always felt that a large part
of golf was played with the hands.
There are days." he said, when
my hands feel thin. Then I have the
touch and the control. I can feel
the swing of the clubhead. There are
other days when my hands may feel
thick There will be no reason for
this that I know about. All I know
is that on those days Of thick-feeling
hands can't play well.
Why should my hands feel thick
one day and thin the next? I've
never quite known. It may be a mat
ter Of digestion, staleness or nerve
reaction"
Almost every one has this feeling Of
thick or thin hands on certain days.
The thin-feeling hand means a keener
touch. When the hands feel thick
the weight of the club seems different.
You feel as If you might be swinging
a stick or a broom-not a golf club.
This matter of of days applies to
the star as well as the dub mean
of days that are not to be explained
for any open reason.
I recall one fine golfer IN .
championship who was extremely
nervous before the round started.
This matter of nerves applied espe-
cially to putting. He was jumpy at
the start, but holed three good puts
on the first three greens. At that
point his nervousness left and his
confidence returned. But from the
third green on he couldn't have holed
a putt If the cup had been q barrel.
He had eight 3-putt greens that
round.
There are days when it is almost
impossible to keep from suddenly lift
ing the head. Up pops the old bean
on shot after shot.
This is easier to explain. Head lift
ing Is the result OF q fault, not so
much q fault itself. It is usually the
result Of too much tension, Of taking
the club back with a jerk, with too
much speed. This tension goes d.
rectly to the head. The best method
Of curing head-lifting is to think more
IN terms of ease and smoothness. A
smooth, flowing backswing, which
isn't hurried, rarely leads to the
tragedy of the lifted dome.
Many off days can be prevented
with concentration on ease and COM
fort. There are days when this Is
difficult, but at least an improvement
In play can be launched by thinking
directly along this 1ine-by trying to
be certain the backswing isn't rushed.

~ After a preliminary re-
~ view of suggestions ad-
a vanced for changes in
gridiron rules, the Intercollegi-
ate Rules Committee plunged
today into the task Of revising
the code to make the game
better.
The most worthwhile proposals
coming before the committee were
selected at a meeting last night, but
none Of the committee made a state
ment on what transpired in the exec
utive session With this preliminary
work out of the way the committee
men met for another session at which
some actual revisions were expected
to be made.
An announcement Of rule changes
will not be made until the final meet
ing OF the committee, probably late
today or Sunday.
Observers predict only m n o T
changes In the rules. A special
Coaches Committee in New York re-
ported last week that the game was
good as it stood. and this report ap-

Lots of Action Promised.

NOTWITHSTANDING that the
IN basket ball game and boxing
bouts are carded as benefit,
they are pretty sure to be just as in
teresting as any other events OF like
nature staged here this season.
Western Maryland has been travel
ing at a great pace lately and when
It meets Maryland tonight will be bat
Ting for the State championship,
which it seems practically certain to
gain If 1t wins from the Old Liners.
That means a spirited game.
The boxing meet. If it is anything
like the one held about two weeks
ago between the two camps, should be
more fun than a battle royal. In the
previous meet the c. c. G. battlers
fought with all the gusto OF young
men who struggle for laurels for their
alma mater. In one of the bouts,
which resulted in knockout, a
buglar from the opposing camp blew
taps over the fallen gladiator.
The basket ball game is to begin at
3 o'clock and the boxing bouts imme-
diately after. They will be held in
