Field Filled For Speedway Race Saturday INDIANAPOLIS <UPD — Cold weather and tricky winds were blamed today for a slower field, but the 33 qualifiers for Saturday’s 500-mile Memorial Day auto race will have the best equipment in the 43-year history of the event. Race officials and rail-birds agreed that dangerous crosswinds and temperatures too cold for the sensitive engines held down speeds during qualifications. Hie field, however, still nicluded The field,-’ however, still included field’s average speed for the 10mile test of 143.003 mph was nearly *4 mile slower than last year’s record 143.445. Fifteen cars made their tryout runs in 28 qualifying attempts on the final day Sunday before about 50.000 fans, but two of the cars were “bumped" by faster qualifiers and three others also failed to make the starting lineup because they were, too slow. Bob Christie of Grants Pass, Ore., the slowest qualifier in last year’s race, was the fastest Sunday at 143.224 m.p.fci However, nine cars were qualified at speeds slower than Christie’s 142.253 in 1958. including that of defending 500 champion Jimmy Bryan. Only eight of the 22 drivers who completed last year and made it again were faster this time, including the entire first row, composed of pole sitter Johnny Thomson, Eddie Sachs and Jim Rathmann, who wil also be among the race favorites. Byran, along with 1956 race winner Pat Flaherty and national driving champion Tony Bettenhausen, qualified Saturday. Flaherty is on a comeback trail and Bettenhausen was Saturday’s top qualifier at 142.721 m.p.h. The newcomers in the field included Bobby Grim, Don Branson. Chuck Arnold, Red Amick, and Jim McWhithey, the slowest qualifier at 141.215 mph. New cars qualified Sunday by Mike Magill and Ray Crawford bumped those of Rex Easton and Ralph Liguori. The latter put the only foreign entry, an eight-cylin-der Italian Maserati, into the lineup temporarily at the “slow’ speed of 136.534 m.p.h. Cars which eliminated themselves were driven’ by Eddie Russo, Shorty Templeman and Bill Homeier. To cure the mid - afternoon droop, the Retail Candy Stores Institute recommends one or two pieces of chocolate for a quick energy pick.-up without having to worry about the figure problem.

IHSAA Reduces Age. Limit For Athletes INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Indiana High School Athletic Association has amended the rules governing the age limit for high school athlete and voted to retain the present scoring system in relay track events. The IHSAA’s Athletic Council Saturday night agreed to reduce the top age for students eligible in athletics from 20 to 19. But the council made several stipulations covering the rule. A student who becomes 19 on or after Aug. 15 may be eligible to take part in fall sports that season. If his brithday falls on or after Nov. 1, he may compete in winter sports. If it falls on or after March 1. he may take part in spring sports. L.V. Phillips, IHSAA commissioner, said tne ruling will go into effect in the 1963-64 school year. The decision to keep the present relay point system in track events came after a poll of schools, Phillips said. He said the poll was taken because of many objections made to the present rule which gives double points for relay events, with 10 points going to the winning team, 8 to the runnerup, 6 to third place, 4 to fourth place and 2 to fifth place. In individual events, the scoring is on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis. Phillips said 288 schools which answered the questionnaire favored retention of the present system. He said 136 wanted the rule changed to conform with the individual point system and 84 wanted some modified system that would give extra points for the relays, but not as many as now given.
