THE 50-50 TEAM FOR INDIANAPOLIS

YOITD smile, too, if during the long, weary, dark and gloomy, and all the other adjectived winter days you had been working underlock and key to finish two race cars; then when spring came and

the birds sang and the ice melted off the Indianapolis Speedway track, you took your hew mount and found that your wildest flights of fancy had come true. That is why Eddie Rickenbacher, manager of the Prest-O-Lite team of two Maxwell cars is happy. With him and his team rpate, Pete Henderson, it is 50-50. The two cars look alike, are built alike, and run alike, and you could fool almost everybody else but Eddie and Pete. They could tell which car was which in their sleep. They expect to do great things in the Sixth International 300-Mile Sweepstakes Race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 30, and the favored few who have see nthese rejuvenated Maxwells in practice believe the foreignbuilt cars, such as the Sunbeam, Peugeot and Fiat, will have all.they can do to compete with these Made in U. S. 4. cars. Many new fangltd contraptions and mechanical features are to be found on these two cars, but in the main their principles are the same as those created by Ray Ha rroun some years ago.
