Hulman Will Wave Green Flag For DePauw 'Little 500' Winner

Funds for a year’s education at DePauw University will be churned up by muscular bicycle riders who will take the green flag from Tony Hulman here Saturday then swing into the southwest turn to begin DePauw’s grueling “Little 500’’ bike race. The race will be broadcast by WGRE-FM, beginning at 1:15 p.m. Patterned after Hulman’s famous Indianapolis “500,” decorated pits and inevitable, crunch ing crack ups, the DePauw version begins unwinding at 1:30 p.m. at Blackstock Stadium. Billed as the biggest spring sports spectacular in west central Indiana, the ninth annual race, its student planners predict, will draw nearly 2,000 spectators “with good weather,' 1 including scores of young Methodist high school students from across the state. The 140-lap event is sponsored by the campus’ Student Union building. Its proceeds go into the university’s scholarship fund which the colorful cyclerama has enriched as much as $1,400 annually. On the pole when the Speed-

way president flashes the go sign will be the defending champion Phi Kappa Psi team that copped last Saturday’s cindersoaked time trials. Their front row companions will be Sigma Alpha Epsilon, second last year, and Phi Delta Theta. Tw'elve more four-man teams will be gunning for the traditional L. Strauss and Company trophy that the Phi Psis can retire with a third consecutive victory. Two cyclists, Dan Petticrew, Noblesville, Ind., and Kent Dowell, Pekin, HI., return from the 1963 champions which toured the 35-mile marathon in record time of just under 103 minutes. John Keeping, Delta Kappa Epsilon rider from Coshocton, O., is back on the leather to defend the Rasmussen trophy, symbolic of the race’s top performer. The trophy is awarded by the DePauw Bookstore in memory of Bob Rasmussen, Oak Lawn, HI., student who rode for Lambda Chi Alpha's champions between 1956-1959. Rasmussen died in a military plane crash in

1961. Pre-race attractions start unfolding Friday on the main campus and at the Greencastle High School gymnasium. In contests of extreme skill and dexterity, coeds, ensconced on lurching tricycles, will vie in the “Miniature 500” race at 4:30 p.m. adjacent to the Union Building. In the three-wheel thriller entrants will consume heaping ice cream cones and inflated balloons enroute to the checkered flag and glory. The overall winner will receive the L. S. Ayres and Company trophy. Kothe-Wells-Bauer Co., Inc., and College Life Insurance Company of Indianapolis have donated the trophies for the main race’s runnerup and to the co-winners of the pit decoration contest supported by 15 Greencastle businesses. The scene shifts Friday night to an eight o’clock concert by the popular Letterman in the city’s high school gym. “Spoke Spectacular.” an all-campus dance headlined by the announcement of the Little 500 queen, climaxes race weekend Saturday night. Chairman of the 1964 Little 500 is Mike Street, Miami, Fla., Junior.

A i ■ PUMPING FOR ALPHA GAMS

These DePauw University coeds are A Ipha Gamma Delta’s entries in the school s for-fun-only novelty tricycle races here tomorrow, April 10. There will be more wheeling Saturday when 15 men’s teams take off on a 35-mile closed circuit bike race patterned after the famous Indianapolis “500.” Pumping for the Alpha Gams Friday and cheering for their paired fraternity Phi Delta Theta Saturday will be Phyllis Templin, standing, Fort Walton Beach, Fla., and Cheryl Sorenson. Manchester, Vt., whose mount appears at this stage unlikely to make it to the starting gate. Proceeds from the races will go for undergraduate scholarships. Race time is 4:30 near the Union Building.

DePauw Holds Sports Banquet Five Hoosiers — two athletes and three educators — last night snared most of the honors at DePauw University’s winter sports banquet. Ajinually attended by over 200 athletes and guests, the banquet is a traditional climax for winter sports participants who have earned awards in basketball, swimming or wrestling. Keynoter for the affair in the Student Union building was Jim Counsilman, head swimming coach at Indiana University. Two former DePauw athletes, Raymond "Dutch” Struck, Hanover College athletic director, and Paul E. Myers, Indianapolis Arsenal Tech teacher-coach, were accorded the school’s top alumni laurels for “outstanding service to athletics in education.” They w r ere presented black and gold “D” blankets from the DePauw “D” Alumni Association by Dr. James Loveless, athletic directorstruck, who picked up letters in basketball, football and baseball before graduating in 1926, has held the Hanover post since 1946. Prior to World War II, he taught at Hall Township, Wabash, and Mishawaka high schools.

A 3-D track athlete, Myers, class of 1924, was singled out for his contributions to sports and education at Tech, where he has served since 1926. Myers coached basketball at Lapel between 1924-26, then started his 38 year tenure at Tech. He served as track coach until 1951 and guided the school’s cross country team through the 1963 season. Third educator honored was the chairman of DePauw’s faculty committee on athletics, Dr. Laurel H. Turk. Head of the school’s Romance Language department, Turk has served the athletic policy group 25 years and chaired it nearly two decades. The undergraduate hardware was won by a pair of seniors and two sophomores.

Jim Callane, MV Basketball

Seniors voted valuable to their teams were Jim Callane, Rushville, basketball, and Bruce Huston, Moline, HI., swimming.

Bruce Huston, MV Swimmer Huston owns or shares two school swim marks. Callane was high scorer for the Tiger basketball team during the past season and copped second team ICC honors. Sophomores Morgan Everson, Indianapolis North Central, and Sky Huck, Glenview, 111., picked up trophies as the most competitive basketball player and most valuable wrestler, respectively. Phi Kappa Psi was awarded (Continued on Page 8.)
