DePalnia entered two cars early in the year. They did not materialize and at least ten drivers began negotiations for DePalma's .driving services. But DePalma is connected with a large automobile manufacturing corporation now and it was not thought I the best taste for Ralph to take the' wheel in the big race for a rival* concern. As a result DePalnia will see tfie race from the stands, “it will seem strange,” said Ralph "especially with my old rival Ralph Mulford back tn tlie game. I have driven a few more miles in actual competition at Indian- ' npolis than Mulford, but he will probably top my mileage this year. 1 won’t go near the pits because if somebody needed relief it might be embarrassing not to assist, so I’ll see the race I in comfort.”

W ork' Colunjbus, ()., May 25—With state boards of education in Ohio, Indiana. Kentucky and West Virginia granting high school credit for attendance at Citizens’ Military Training Camps, eifoit will be made to obtain this eoncession for college students in the Fifth Corps Area, according to Lt. Col. Francis W. Glover, corps area C.M.T.C. officer. Decision to make this request of colleges and universities in behalf of the C.M.T.C. came after Ohio State . University, Columbus, -’foluntaityly J offered two quarter-credit hours to- ' ward graduation from the university to students attending a C.M.T. camp for thirty days. This would be twothirds as much credit as given for a whole year of R.O.T.C. work. High schools in the Fifth Corps Area were authorized two years ago , to allow a one-fourth unit credit to- ' ward graduation for each month spent in the training camps. it is believed that Ohio State is the first university in the country to make this concession.
