THE MIDWINTER HANDICAP ( Concluded from page one) contestant will be paid more than the total amount of his entrance moneyless price of targets. It is confidently believed that this purse will amount to a sum sufficient to cover the losses of those who shoot in all regular events based on an entrance fee of $64.00 for the four days, less the price of targets ($12.00). Thus a contestant can compete in all regular events of the tournament, and should he prove to be out of form and not shoot up to expec tations, his four days sport would cost him the price of targets only. A con testant should certainly be willing to pay for the targets he shoots at when his average falls below that point which brings financial reward for good per formance. While contestants are not guaranteed that they will receive the total amount of their entrance money, it is reasonable to believe that they will, as the statisti cal data in connection with tournaments conduced under this system shows that this purse in each instance was sufficient to cover the losses of those who shot in all scheduled events, and frequently there was quite a surplus. In case there is a surplus after the combined losses have been paid, the surplus will be divided among the high gun amateurs who have shot in all regu lar scheduled events, which briefly sum marized, creates three places for each $50.00 or fraction thereof, up to $500.00. While the dates set are for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Janu ary 18, 19, 20 and 21, the Preliminary and Handicap on the closing days, the event will round out the full week, many shooters assembling even as early as the week previous.
