Announces Plans For Next Year’s 500-Mile Auto Race Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. s.—(United Press) —Racing cars half the displacement of a Ford engine, with a speed upward of 120 miles an hour! That is the prediction of racing car builders of Europe and America, who are busily engaged in making the vestpocket motors for the 1926 Indianap-' oUs race. The preliminary starting bomb of the Fourteenth Annual International Sweepstakes was fired today, when entry blanks were sent to every driver of prominence in America and Europe. The race will be held next year on Monday, May 31. The outstanding feature of the announcement is that the piston displacement of the competing cars has been reduced from 122 cubic inches, where it was placed in 1923, 1924 and 1925 International Sweepstakes, to 9 1-2 cubic inches. There will be no change in the distance, which is 500 moles; there will be no change in the prize money which is the largest amount ever offered by any racing organization. The one-day change in time is due to Memorial Day coming on Sunday in 1926 and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway clings rigidly to its rule of scheduling the race for the day following. The change will be of great benefit to the thousands of motorists who drive from a distance, as it will give them a day free from toil to make their annual pilgrimage to the greatest sporting event of the world. Since 1911, the date of the first 500mile race, the International Sweepstakes has been held annually at the great 2 1-2 mile four-cornered brick race course, whose fame has travelled to every corner of the earth. Thirteen events only have been run in this period, no races being scheduled in 1917 and 1918, during the period the speedway grounds were turned over to the Government in the world war period. The race is to be held under sanction No. 1680, of the American Automobile Association, the governing body of racing in America. In addition to the 850,000 speedway prizes there will be accessory prizes to bring the total to double that amount. Last year 140,OOOspectators saw the race, which was won by Peter DePaolo, driving a Duesenberg Special, at an average of 101.13 miles an hour. o - Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Suttles attended the Shrine show at Fort Wayne last evening.

FIELD GOALQ JL By MARK M. UPP kJ

Another Friday night is over. A lot ot teams won, Just as many lost and we're ail still alive just the same. \ WHICH IS TO SAY THAT A BASKETBALL GAME IS NOT A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. AS SOME FANS SEEM TO RATE IT. Berne high now has a string of six wins and no defeats. The Blue and White are playing better ball this year than lask. Catholic High met a worthy opponent at Lima last night, but its two straight for Coach Center's men. The Yellow Jackets were forced to drink th<Ld re K 8 defeat again last \night- Four straight losses are pretty discouraging, but the team has been showing improvement and remember —its a long lane that has no turn. Auburn's veteran quintet looks like state tournament material this year. The State Champs came through with a 41-33 win over Kokomo. And ,the brick still rests in Frankfort Bluffton's Tigers were tamed last night at Montpelier to the tune of 42-24. Coach Rippe must have selected the wrong lineup after all, after spending all those sleepless nights Rip Offs was telling about. Portland took another lacing, this time at the hands of old Morton High of Richmond 31-19. And Morton had an aw'ful time beating Centerville last week. With Decatur. Bluffton, Portland and Hartford City all taking defeats in last night's games, it looks bad for this neck of the woodsi But. its three months until tournament time. The Berne coach ought to play Miss Brown on his boys’ team- The tall, good-looking Miss made 24 field goals for the B.H.S. girls’ team last night. THE GUY WHO WEARS NO. 11% SOCKS IS IN LUCK NOW SINCE THE FAIRER SEX HAS STARTED WEARING MEN’S HOSE.

The game was fast throughout and was interesting to the large crowd of fans. Spectacular basket-shooting by Snyder, Auburn forward, gave the home, team a substantial lead in the first half, which ended with the winners leading 24-12. The Yellow Jackets, with their lineup shifted somewhat, played better ball in the second half and scored 16 points to 21 for Auburn. Coach Kennedy started Welker and Strickler at forward, Zwick at center and Moser and Dierkes at guard. Welker had an off night and made only one field goal during the game. Reynolds replaced Captain Moser at floor guard and showed up good, playing a fast floor game and getting two field goals. Moser sank two field goals, also. Zwick took a turn at forward and Strickler jumped center part of the time. Strickler tied with Hoodelmier of Auburn, for scoring points, with 14 points. Joe Krick, a freshman, who wsa playing his first game with the varsity, pat up a nice game and scored one field goal. With only four minutes left to play, Coach Young, of Auburn, sent in his reserves, but they were unable to carry on the fast game played by the regulars. Ford Griffith, of Auburn, refereed the game and did a fine job. The Decatur girls were swamped by the Auburn girls in the first game of the evening, the final score being 66 to 8. The Decatur lassies failed to score in the second half. Helen Farr scored one field goal and a free throw and Eleanor Pumphrey scored two field goals and a free throw in the first half, giving Decatur eight points The Auburn boys and girls will piay return games here on January 8.
