The official entry list for the 30th 500-mile race at the Speedway Memorial day was ingreased to five today when H. C.

J, and George Connors of Les Angeles will be the drivers. Both cars already are at the track and Henning expects to have them ready for test runs by April 15. Horn, who has finished fourth or better in each of the last six races, will be at the wheel of the Maserati in which Wilbur Shaw, the Speedway's new president, scored two of

‘his three victories. Shaw won with
