the 500-Mile race really should “!

come in pairs. In most cases,

the cars flashing around the !

Speedway oval Monday will have unseen “drivers” who travel every mile of the way with the actual pilots. They are the women who, unlike the screaming race fans around them, sit quietly in their boxes, eyes following one particular car each time it

|- sweeps down the straightaway.

You can tell that the car is not, to the quiet watcher, just a superbly built racer. There

is something in the rigidity of ' a pose, in the way a hand grips

a railing, knuciles whitening, that tells who the watcher is. ~ She is the wife of the man who is driving that car—or perhaps as the wife of a car's owner she, too, shares the deep

toncern that “an owner rests!

for the saféty of his driver, For these women so closely associated with the speed classic, the tension begins, just as

| it does for their husbands, on ! the ddy the cars arrive at the

track. At first it may be masked, as in _the case of. young Mrs. Cy Marshall, by

the excitement of seeing her first 500-mile race. There may be the apparent. calm. of..an like Mrs. Charles VanAcker whose husband has

Mrs. Tony Bettenhausen brings her two boys, Gary and Merle, to watch their father. They're a couple of exuberant lads upon *whom mother keeps firm reins. Another youngster who has

been on hand this year is 2'5- | year-old Bill Shaw, son of Mr, |

and Mrs, Wilbur Shaw. His papa ‘is president of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and a three-time winner of the race. Mary Hulman, daughter of Tony Hulman, Speedway board chairman, has watched the trials with her: mother and Mrs. Fred Holliday and Mrs. John Holliday, wife and daughter-in-law of the owner of the car which “Doc” Wil Hams will_drive,
