Three-Gallon Fuel Limit Placed on Cars in Trials for 500-Mile Speed Grind

Elimination Tests to Start Saturday, May 19, With FiftyThree Battling for Thirty-Three Starting Places; Special Qualifying Equipment Barred. BY VERN BOXELL Mor> than 118 miles an hour for the pole and not less than 110 to get in the .starting lineup—that's what the boys out Speedway way are figuring as the time for qualifying trials for the Memorial day 500-mile race draw* near. Eliminations will start Saturday, May 19, and continue, with the exception of a three-day interruption, until 4 p. m. Monday, May 28, two days before the international sweepstakes. Fifty-three cars are scheduled to battle for the coveted thirty-three starting berths.

Cars qualifying on May 19 will be alloted top positions in relation to their speed. Fastest jobs ready to run are expected to battle for the pole position Saturday. Sunday's qualifiers will take their places following Saturday's successful candidates. There will be no trials on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, with eliminations being resumed on Thursday, May 24, to continue for five days. An average speed of 100 miles an hour or better for the ten trips around the two and one-half mile oval Is necessary to squeeze under the starter’s tape. Special Equipment Banned Fuel restrictions, already invoked in the 500-mile chase, have been extended to include the elimination tests. The twenty-five-mile run must be made on three gallons of gasoline and with the same running equipment with which they must start the race should they succeed. A forty-five gallon limit has been placed on the five-century grind. In the past, many drivers have in- j stalled high speed gears, extra carburetors, etc., to obtain excessive speed in qualifying trials and then changed to other equipment for the main event. Such use of extra assistance will be banned under the new ruling, announced today by Louis Schwitzer. chairman of the technical committee. A special ruling also has been made for the two Cummings-Diesel oil-burners. They will not be forced fto compete with their gasoline rivals 'for places in the starting field of thirty-three, qualifying automatically if they negotiate the twenty-five miles at, an average speed of more than 95 miles an hour. Two-Cycles Get Favor A fuel exception is the allowance of three and three-quarter gallons for two-cycle creations. Two are entered, one powered with a gasoline engine built bv Leon Duray and the other an oil burner. They will be allowed 55 gallons of fuel in the 500-mile, if they qualify. A glance at last year’s record reveals that the thirty-third position, which will be the last this year, was captured at 111 773 miles an hour. Many observers figure the mark may go higher this year. Bill Cummings, local pilot, grabbed the No. 1 spot last year with a terrific 118.521 performance, and this mark also may be moved up. TECH NETMEN TRIUMPH For the first time in thrpe years of competition. Tech's tennis team defeated Shortridge on the east aiders’ court yesterday, four matches to two. Burns, veteran Shortridge ace. turned back Morgan, Tech star, but j his teammates failed to continue the attack.

W CHiOTING

A FAMILIAR figure that greets the golfers these days who play at. Coffin course is none other than Bill Wilkinson. Bill has taken on the duties of assistant pro to Ralph Stonehouse this year. He seems to be getting along well with the assignment. During the winter Bill was in the south, and while there he took

part in several amateur tournaments, reaching the final round in the Miami Amateur, one of the biggest of the w in t e r season, which, in addition to Ralph Stonehouse's feat of winning the Miami Open, placed the Hoosier metropolis pretty well on the golf map in Dixieland. Last year

Bill was house manager at the Jeffersonville Country Club, but that was too far from the old Coffin course to suit Wilkinson. When Ralph suggested that he come on through JefferSenville this spring on the way back from Florida and take on the duties as his assistant the answer “yes” was easy, Bill states. Incidentally. Bill holds the teur course record at Coffin, a 66, made last year. Recently he teamed with Bert Street, an amateur, and the two turned in a best ball score of 69 to tie for second place with Russell Stonehouse and Charlie

Braughton in the pro-amateur at the Speedway. Bill asks his friends to stop in at Coffin when they are driving by and say “hello.” if they haven't time to play a round. a tt a A LTHOUGH we have been tena complimentary membership in the Pleasant Run Golf Club it will be impossible to attend an important meeting of that up-and-coming group, tomorrow night in the clubhouse. The officers. E. P. Mooney, president; J. Clark Espie, vice-president and Larry Sullivan, secretary and treasurer, have asked that all members be present at 8 o’clock to aid in drawing up the tournament schedule for the coming season. The officers have made a determined effort to get a large membership and their efforts have been rewarded as well as talked and praised by most every other municipal course club group in town. Keep on going, boys, and since you mention something about social events later we still have hopes of connecting np on some future meeting when the weather gets warmer. n n u THE Fortville Country Club team will journey to Waldron Sunday to battle the Tri-County Country Club team. Fourteen men will make the trip and a return engagement will be played at Fortville June 3. Last Sunday Fortville sent, a team to Lapel that, batted out a neat 27 V 2 to 14*2 victory.
