One Defeat for Bears

In third spot, the Shelbyville Golden Bears nose in with wins over North Vernon, Greencastle, Rushville, Franklin, Connersville, Columbus, Indianapolis Shortridge, Southport and Bedford. Only Seymour has brought the high-flying Shelbyville down to earth, and, the Golden Bears’ fans assert, if it weren't for that one faltering step, Shelbyville would now be riding above Washington with 10 victories. Marion's Giants, a chief title threat, took a surprise licking from Kokomo Dee. 20 to drop from the unbeaten ranks and lose ground in the ranking. Marion has downed Alexandria, Winamac, Anderson twice, Richmond, Peru, Logansport, and its eventual nemesis, Kokomo. Ft.

The Madison Cubs are down in seventh even though they have lost only one game. This, by reason of the poor brand of coms petitor Madison has beaten—namely Corydon, Vevay, North Vernon, Scottsburg twice, Greenwood, Lawrenceburg and Salem. The only tough team on the Cubs’ slate so far, Jeffersonville, defeated them. Frankfort's Hot Dogs, in eighth spot, have downed Tipton, Flora, Muncie Oentral, Lebanon, Logansport, Elwood and Indianapolis

better competition than Muncie Burris’ Owls have faced. Burris also lost to stiff opposition, Washington and South Side of Ft. Wayne, winning over Hagerstown, Hartford City, Pendleton, Yorktown, Tipton and Bluffton. As for Horace Mann of Gary, it looms as better than 10th in the ratings, having five victories and no defeats. However, the Horse men started late and do not have the string of games that other lead« ers possess. Also, the competition has been largely weak teams— Rensselaer, Bast Chicago Roosevelt, Gary Tolleston, Gary Emerson and Valparaiso, Mann, however, gave advanoe warning to other top-notchers Sate urday night by sweeping the Gary holiday tournament.

“The Indianapolis Motor Speedway -has always been the outdoor laboratory of the automotive ine dustry. Its contributions to the modern motor is a matter of record but the conduct of the 500-mile race calls for the expenditure of rubber, fuel, oil and many intricate motor parts as well as mechanical brains.

“Therefore, we, who are res sponsible for the operation of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, bes lieve that such an expenditure of men and motors can better be applied toward our ultimate victory.”

Next year’s 500-miler would have been the 30th and preparations for it had been under way since the 1041 contest.

The 1941 fire delayed the start of the race but once under way it was thrill-packed all through the 200 laps and in the winning car’s seat was Maurie Rose, who took time off from his defense work at the nearby Allison Engineering plant to compete in the Five-Cen-tury. Five 500-milers and one 300-miler —1911 “to "1916, inclusive—were staged before the first interruption by. war. Competition was resumed in 1919 and the distance was restored to 500 miles.
