At Adams Central: 500 Driver Talks On Speed, Safety

By Mike Thoele The leadfoot who spins his tires at every start or who slides around corners isn’t proving anything," the man said to the attenive assembly in the Adams Central gym. "He’s only taking unnecessary chances and putting useless wear and strain on his car. Sound advice, even coming from a man who has made speed his business and whose trophy table includes the Rookie of the Year award for his performance in the 1956 Indianapolis 500. The speaker was Bob Veith and his topic was safety. Veith appeared at Adams Central earlier this week on a lecture tour sponsored by the Champion spark plug company and made available in this area through the cooperation of Deactur Auto Supply. He delivered strong arguments for safety, courtesy and defensive driving, backing up his statements with an action-packed 500 film which showed parallels and contrasts between highway and He knows whereof he speaks. His 19-year racing career has been studded with sucesses. It has taken him to tracks in both the United States- and Europe. And throughout it all he has never had a really serious accident, either on or off the track. Veith’s racing career, like that of so many of today’s leading American drivers, began on the dirt-track Jalopy circuits of California. He was 21 year old when he drove his first race in 1945. His skill served him well and he progressed through midgets and «tock cars until he became establishedin sprint and big car racing. In his first year at .Indianapolis he garnered the coveted rookie award by finishing seventh in a hard-fought contest' won by Pat Flaherty. Since then he has raced in every 500 event

Bob Veith except 1961 when his car developed mechanical difficulties dur ; ing qualifications and could not be repaired in time for the start of the world-famed Hoosier classic. h In -the -.1958 Five- Hundred -Veith « was involved in the accident which killed popular driver Pat O’Connor. In the 1963 race he was the, liptt car to safely clear the fiery melee which took the lives of rookie Dave McDonald and veteran Eddie Sachs. One of Ten Best One of the greatest honors which has fallen to Veith during his career was his selection in 1957 and 1958 as one of the ten best American drivers to be taken to Europe to meet the continent's best dh the highbanked Monza oval in Italy. The American drivers, using Indianapolis type cars, posted record speeds in both years and many of the disconcerted European drivers and car .owners either protested or withdrew. Some of the Europeans contested that the Americans took too many chances, but veteran observers said that the difference was duo primarily to / the design differences between the American Indy cars and the European vehicles. Recalling the incident this week, Veith seemed to think that some of the Italian owners and drivers, especially the Ferrari team, were not as receptive to change as they might have been. "European drivers at that time didn’t believe in using seat belts," hd said. "The Monza course is rough and bumpy and the belts in the American cars were actually an aid in helping us maintain good driving position in the cockpit. We talked one of the Ferrari drivers into installing belts and his lap times Went up

an incredible fifteen miles per hour." Liquid Suspension Car Veith’s mount in the '63 500 was one of the most technically interesting cars in the race. He drove a rear-engined Offenhauserpowered car built by Walt Huffaker and featuring a unique suspension dampered by waterfilled rubber bags. Huffaker was the builder who gave Veith his first ride in a dirt track sprint car at the start of his career. Veith agreecr to try the radical new machine last spring. He practiced at 155, qualified 153.3, and in the race was running fourth at the 82-lap mark when he encountered mechanical difficulties (not in the suspension design) which forced his withdrawal from the rate. He is of the opinion that the new, lightweight, rear-engined cars are firmly established at the 500, but, like most of the bld-line Indy drivers, he believes there's still a lot of fight left Frick Denies He 15..,. "T o Rule Gut Sttfe’” ;; WASHINGTON (UPI) — The sale of the New York Yankees to the Columbia Braodcasting System is being investigated by the Justice Department which is expected to announce an opinion within 10 days. The Justice Department said Friday that it has not yet decided whether to advise for or against the deal. Its statement followed a report that the department had told Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick to rule out the sale. "The report Is completely silly. ’’ said Frick. "I have not talked to anybody about any such thing." "Reports that the department is supposed to have advised Commissioner Frick regarding the sale of the New York Yankees- to CBS are wrong," said the Justice Department statement. "While the department is continuing to inquire into the circumstances of the acquisition, it has come to no conclusion, nor has it communicated any conclusion or advice to Commissioner Frick or anyone else," Keane Selects Four Man Coachinq Staff NEW YORK (UPD — Johnny Keane in his first official act as field manager of the New York Yankees Friday named his four-man coaching staff, holding two over and installing two new men. » The recently-signed pilot retained Frank Crosetti and Jim Began from the Yogi Berra regime, brought Vern Benson over from the Cardinals and added Cot Deal as the pitching coach.

He said that he recently attended a press conference and showing of the new Mickey Thompson 500 car, a radical, front-engine, front-wheel drive, 900-pound flyweight. Veith doesn't care much for Thompson, widely known as the "farthestout" of the Indy car designers. "He pushes his drivers and mechanics too much," said Veith. Now 40 years old, Veith plans to stay in racing "as long as I can still make a buck and still think I can win." I. U.

IHSAA Basketball Field Again Reduced INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A field of 572 schools, the smallest since 1923 when 596 teams took part, is expected for the 1965 Indiana high school basketball tournament. The largest field was 787 in 1938. Commissioner Phil Eskew told ♦the IHSAA annual meeting Friday the organization lost 25 schools since the 1963-64 school year because of mergers and discontinuance of schools. Eskew implied the field of 572 will include five - time state champ Muncie Central which is sitting out a one-year suspension. Muncie is expected to ap•ply for reinstatement when the year ends in January. Eskew said he feels the IHSAA is “stronger and better organized” than a year ago. One of the reasons, he said, was a series of eight meetings he has held with principals and other school officials from all ’over the state. “Our aim was to initiate the younger principals into the IHSAA and it philosophy,” he said. Purpose of the meetings also was to help local schools formulate a better all - around athletic program, he added. *aid reduction in the >8 tourney teams will u.yoa./fte “Borne (shifting” in sectional assignments. “The board of control will ||make the changes sensible and fair," he said.

By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sport* Editor TOKYO (UPI) — The costliest Olympic games in history came to a close today before - an emotional throng of 80,000 shortly after the final event of a 14-day athletic carnival in which the United States made its best showing since 1952. As the Olympic torch was extinguished and the Olympic flag lowered in the deepening twilight of an overcast day, the electric scoreboard flashed “sayanara” and then "meet again in Mexico in 1968.” Emperor Hirohito, patron of the games, looked on from the imperial box and frequently saluted during the earlier parade under the floodlights while many of original 5,541 competitors marched past under the flags of their nations. Don Schollander of Lake Oswego, Ore., the 19-year-old swim sensation who won two individual races and anchored two victorious American relay teams, carried the Stars and Stripes at the head of the U.S. contingent. Hosts File By Last to file in were the smiling athletes of the host nation. The Japanese, attired in blazing red jackets and white trousers, were the only delegation Hotshots Hold First Meeting On Monday The Hotshots, rifle club of the Decatur Catholic high school, will hold its first meeting of the school year at 6:30 o’clock Monday evening at the range in the basement of Mies Recreation, North Second street. The club, sponsored by the Fraternal Order of Police, will meet with Donald Gage and Mark Colchin, instructors.
