Racing, Jumping Program 10 Go as Scheduled To-
 morrow Afternoon

The top feature of the Gastineau Channel ski season is now definite ly on-for tomorrow.
 That announcetment was made this morning by Dean Williams Chairman of the Tournament Com mittee of the sponsoing Juneau Ski Club. Williams and Ski Club Proxy Tom Stewart made careful exam ination of the course yesterday.
 Their verdict It's raceable!
 The ice topping that made lower reaches of the Douglas Island Ski Trail hazardous during the early part of the week now has softened and controlled running is again pos sible, even at high speeds.
 Further announcement was made today of race details for tomorrow's program; details which had been uncertain till the last because of the doubts concerning trail condi- tionS:
 The first event on the program a race for both women and girls will take off from the TreadweH Ditch promptly at2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Competitors in this-as in all of the events tomorrow-Wlll race the course singly against time, starting at one-minute intervals.
 Ten minutes after the last fem mine racer has been dispatched from the Ditch, the Starter will send Juniors off from their starting mark at the Second Cabin, on the Sec ond Meadow. The Junior event IS to be run in two divisions-Class $ and Class A. Class B runners will start first, followed immediately by the Class A Juniors.
 Ten minutes after the last Junior is away, Senior Division racers, also divided into B and A classes, will leave their starting post at the top of the Second Meadow Slalom Hill Glass B running first to be fol- lowed immediately by the Class A runners competing. for the Moller Gold Cup.
 It is anticipated that the Junior events will get under way about 2:30 o'clock and the Senior half hour after that.
 By agreement, any Class B Junior racer is also eligible for the Class A Junior trophy-if he is able to make the fastest time of all Junior racers. In both Junior and Senior events, segregation into classes is mainly voluntary. Some few skiers among both Juniors and Seniors have been adjudged "too good" to run in the Glass B competition, but any skier who thinks he has a chance may enter Class A.
 Officials for all race events are: Starter, Dr. James Ryan; Timer, Norman Banfield; Recorder, Roy Stewart; Course Steward, Max Lewis.
 Finish line for all events will be located at the foot of the Jumping Hill, about one-fourth mile up the Ski Trail from the Douglas High way. Entrance to the Ski Trail, plainly marked by a large Forest Service sign, is about 300 yards from the Island end of the Juneau Douglas bridge.
 A large cleared area at the finish line offers the best point of vantage for spectators. From there, the sharpest turns and most preciptous slopes of the entire course are visible and racers may be seen clearly as they run "the switch back and take the final plunge down the chute paralleling the jump landing hill
 Spectators on foot are requested by those in charge of the tourna- ment to go no further up the trail than the finish line, as holes left by unskied feet are pitfalls for rac- CTS. It is strongly urged that no dogs be brought on the trail
 This mornings and yesterday $ rains are reported to have some what impaired the jump take-off
