Cliff Wagoner, Indianapolis District Golf Association secretary, makes
another plea for early and frequent
entries in the district tournament.
Only a month left to enter, and while that may seem lots of time, you will have to hurry if you're to be sure of a choice starting time. In case you've forgotten, the first round is at Hillcrest on Monday,
June -14, with rounds at Highland Wednesday. Fifty-four. holes, of medal play, net: and gross prizes for zach round as well as for the 54. And just so there will be no misunderstanding at the first tee, make sure your club secretary has plenty of rounds from which to figure a fair handicap. This means the lowest rounds of the season up to that time. If your handicap isn’t properly attested, you will receive a penalty handicap that will make it just about impossible to do any good on the net side. Pick your foursome and starting time, pay your two bucks association membership fee and get in touch with Cliff at his office on the 10th floor of the Illinois Building.

i
On Right Side,
Drivers Say
‘Mileage Nearly Reduced by
Half; Ralph Hepburn In Mishap.
Tires will replace gas as the chief worry for drivers during the silver anniversary 500-mile grind May 31. Pre-qualification practice has shown that the new surface on the turns nearly have cut in half the life of race car tires. The turns were resurfaced to a width of approximately 50 feet with asphalt. Because of the newness of the surface and also due to the fact that improvement of the turns allows for greater speed, tires will undergo greater wear and tear this year, the speed demons have learned. Drivers have been warned to watch their | right side tires particularly. Hepburn in Mishap Everyone's guess is that the new turns will be sufficiently oiled after several hundred miles of the race have been run to soften the abrasive surface. , ¢
Ralph Hepburn’s near crash yesterday seemed to serve as a warning that cars traveling at high speeds still can get out of control for many little reasons. The track was practically deserted after Ralph reported how a gust of wind nearly swept him into the northeast wall and how he avoided hitting the wall only barely to avoid turning over after a perilous zigzag ride across the track to safety on the inside dirt apron. Ralph “kissed” the northwest wall in practice last year. Rumors continue to persist that Rex Mays may .change his allegiance. He is now scheduled to drive Bill White's Alfa Romeo. Seek Meyers’ Services Likewise two owners were bidding yesterday for the services of Zeke Meyers, scheduled to drive. Joe Thorne's Studebaker. Meyers indicated he may drive a Studebaker owned by the S. S. Engineering Co., South Bend. For the second time Zeke's son, Charles, will ride with him in the big event. Thorne said that he has doubt that the special 16-cylinder rearengine mount being -built for him by Lee Oldfield will be ready in time to qualify. Bill Cummings took his Boyle Valve car out of retirement yesterday for practice. His trials yesterday were the first since he turned

AMES (SONNY) FOLEY, Boston College all-round athlete of some years back, scored a double eagle in his first attempt at golf. Foley recorded a two on the par five first hole of the Belmont Spring Country Club, Waverly, Mass. The hole measures 455 yards, and it was the first time it had ever been made in two. strokes. Fred J. Corcoran, tournament bureau manager of the Professional Golfers’ Association, witnessed the feat. . Many beginners play a better game the first time out than after they have played a half dozen rounds or so. Novices frequently have a freedom of movement before they get the competitive urge, but soon lose it when playing against a physical opponent or in an effort to better their last score. It is far wiser for beginners not to play until they learn how to use each club. Otherwise they are likely to change clubs for each shot with poor results. Beginners should retire to the

Shortridge-Tech Netters Clash
The Shortridge tennis squad meets the Tech racquet team on
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer EW YORK, May 12.—The other .day out in Louisville, Cappy Wells, the old West Point tub thumper, dropped by the hotel and said: “How would you like to take a ride in a tank?” I had seen a great many tanks in the town, especially just before and just after the Derby, but it did not seem to me they were the exact type to use for conveyances.
9000 pounds.
“I mean regular war tanks,” added the officer. “Out at Ft. Knox they have the finest and - most modern tanks in the world. I'll fix it so you can ride in one during maneuvers and I'll guarantee you the most unique thrill you ever had.” Signor Joseph Leone, the great Italian patriot of W. 48th St, spoke up .... “Ft. Knox? Ain't that the joint where the Government buries all its gold?” This proved to be correct. That very morning a train had rolled into the grounds carrying $150,000,000 worth of the stuff. A fleet of tanks had met the train and in due course convoyed the metal to the vauts. . . . Signor Leone wanted to know if it would be possible to go through the vaults. . . . “I'd like to know how it feels just to see that much gold. . . . - the Signor had blown. a six-dollar combination bet at the Downs the day before and was rather melancholy about life in general. . : Your correspondent found himself debating the wisdom of carrying all this gold to the Kentucky hills. when it obviously would be a more simple and direct procedure to take it to the mutuel windows at Col. Matt Winn's race track. The history of gold is that most of it ultimately winds up in these windows anyway. . 3 . ” ” » . T. KNOX is some 30 miles out of Louisville and to get there you drive through a part of the country that was bitterly hit by the floods. Upended houses, buildings bent in the middle as if in the throes of extreme gastric agony, and other torn, battered mementoes of the fury are still to be seen. Signor Leone was plainly impressed by the dismal scene. . . . “This looks like my joint after one of them baseball writers” dinners.” . . . The Signor operates a gay ‘place just off Broadway and is noted as a gentleman who encourages human madness.

I rode with the colonel in a combat car weighing I sat in the gunner's seat next to the driver, a fine looking, courteous youth who took his military responsibilities with great seriousness. The colonel stood in the bowels of the steel monster, his head sticking above the rim of the turret... . “We'll go over the regular course,” he ordered. } There was a hideous blast of noise as the gears were shifted and the car rumbled into movement. Off we went through a jungle wilderness of trees, creeks, deep yawning gullies. rain where no ordinary vehicle could make the slightest progress, where it would be insane and in--human to try a horse, where there were only Indian trappers before the Army moved in. And all things fell before this fantastic metal terrer of modern warfare. :

This was an unforgettable sensation. ture sitting in your family car taking dead aim at a telephone pole and at the moment of impact nothing happens beyond a slowing up in speed and a not too severe bouncing around. And when you look back there is the pole uprooted, splintered and completely chastened. On and on you go through the woods. A rocky, uneven twisting hill is climbed. A creek four or five feet deep is crossed as if it never existed. Pretty soon you come to a series of barbed wire entanglements. the turret . .., “Watch out now. Some flying bits of wire might hit your eyes.” men are wearing goggles. The ugly, panting thing of steel, surptisingly flexible in movement for all its appearance of Car-nera-like awkwardness, bites through the barbed wire as if it had been spun from silk thread. A few seconds later these vicious looking barriers are stretched out in the thorny brambles crushed like crackers. On the way back we rumbled through a cluster of dogwood trees in full bloom. There is something about the dogwoods that make you think of youth .and hope and tender emotions. like matches before the relentless push of the tank was—well, it was to see a symbol of war that wasn’t The dogwoods could have been bright faced, eager, adventurous youngsters—and some day in war terms they will be just that.
