FOR 25-MIL- ; In addition to the main event, which will be run in cither six or seven laps over a course laid out entirely on Brigham City streets, three preliminary races for Box Elder county youngsters will be held, under the sponsorship of the Chamber. One race will be for children 10 years old and under, over a course of a quarter-mile- , a race for children 11 to 13 years old over a quarter-milcourse, and a race for children 14 years old and over a quarter-mile and a block. Francisco, also is entered. Gug- liomoni is 21 years old, and was California junior champion in 1943. A sensational young racer, Joe Cirone, 17 years old, will be here with his parents. Cirones father was a famous bicycle racer in his day, and the success of his training is shown in the fact that his son recently won the Grand Prix. e I ' x n Rollins said he already had from received entries seven calibre riders championship from outside Utah, that a dozen of Utahs top riders are entered, and that a starting field of 45 or so is anticipated for the race. The start and finish of the race will be at the intersection of Main and Forest streets, in downtown Brigham City. The Chamber of Commerce sports committee is planning to build a judges and speakers' plat of reserved form, bleachers scats for a number of spectators, and instal a public ad dress system to introduce the racers and explain the event as it progresses. It takes just one race to make a bicycle racing fan, Rollins declared. Point" Race The races interest will be heightened by the fact that it is a "point race, and w'ill be run in six or seven sprints. This means, he ex plained, that the first rider to cross the finish line is not necessarily the winner of the race. If the course of the race is four and a fraction miles, each time past the finish line or each lap" will count for points, W'ith the cyclist leading at the end of the first circuit w'inning as many points as the rider ahead at the end of the last lap. The Western States championships are determined in four races, to be held in Ft. Collins, Colo., Salt Lake City, Malad, Ida., and the finals here in Brigham City. Double Value- Here Double points will be given for the Brigham City race for positions at the end of the laps, and undoubtedly the winners of the race here will win enough points to put them into top places in the Western States Championship. Final standings will be determined at the end of the Brigham City race, and the Western States Championship trophies will be awarded. The Box Elder Chamber of Commerce, sponsors of the race here along with the Centennial commission, will provide the Western States Championship trophies, along with merchandise prizes for those winning the most points in the race. In the races at Salt Lake City, Malad and Fort Collins, the four leaders in each lap will receive 10, 9, 8 and 7 points respectively toward the championships. In the Brigham City races, each lap will earn 20, 19, 18 and 17 points. As a result of this system of scoring, Rollins explained, the race actually resolves into six or seven races, with the riders "sprinting as they come around toward the finish line after each lap, trying to get into one of the positions. Plenty of Champs With the high point value of the Brigham City race, the parof every ticipation amateur bicycle racer in the Western states, including California, is assured, Rollins explained. Ranking contenders already entered include Dick Goerz, e point-winnin- g The New Baby Of The Local Battery And Captain Glen Wyatt The local National Guard batterys gun arrived Monday of this week by rail, a weapon weighing about 37 tons.
