Pepe ak planned, cbt ob The attractive and novel feature of the raco is @ banked track of ten laps. To those who years ago were victims of the roller skating craze a ;| banked track is not alone a novelty but a mystery until you have seen the boys go around these turns at top apeed. The banking at tho highest pdint is about 15 degrees, and it graduates to 6 degrees just before you hit the long straightaway. The first question the old timer | j¢, will ask is, “How are they going to make the turns in the old way of crossing your feet?’ But they don't cross thelr feet, The banked track uy’ to Fides signed to logalise boxing in Mlinois will | makes it possible to skate around the turns at top speed, This is the real new thing about the game, On a flat skating floor the compe- titor gets up all bis speed on the straight. When he reaches the turn he can coast around or else would race is a succtss in the matter of speed the banking will be increased just as it was in the bi- cycle racing game.
