Speedway Hums With Activity As Drivers Seek To Qualify
INDIANAPOLIS UPI — A dozen spots were up for grabs today in the fastest field in the Speedway’s history with an estimated 30 sleek racers attemping to crash the lineup for the Memorial Day “500.” They battled hot weather as well as the stop watch in the final two days of the time trials. Temperatures of around 90 degrees today and Sunday were expected to hold down the speeds and most action was anticipated late in the morning— and early in the evening when the track temperature is relatively low. As soon as the field of 33 cars is filled, the traditional bumping process begins with the slowest qualified cars being eliminated. Low’ man after last weekend’s qualifications was rookie Ronnie Duman, but many observers believed his average speed of 149.744 miles per hour will be good enough to get him into the race. How'ever, nobody was expected to come close to last Saturday’s record speeds hung up by Scotland’s Jimmy Clark who became the first foreign pole sitter in 40 years with speeds of 159.377 and 158.828 mph for one and four laps, respectively, in a British Lotus Ford engine. Despite scorching heat that reached 145 degrees on the track surface, 32 cars made practice runs Friday. The fastest w’as Bobby Marshman, the second best qualifier last weekend, at an average speed of better than 155 mph. Bobby Unser, in one of the tempermental Novis. hit 154.374 and Eddie Johnson, like Marshman, in a rear-engine machine, got into the 153 mph bracket just before practice ended. Besides Unser and Johnson, such other Speedway veterans as Jim Rathmann, Paul Russo, Duane Carter, Bob Veith, A1 Miller, Bill Cheesbourg, Jim McElreath. Dempsey Wilson and Australia's Jack Brabham were expected to push their machines to the starting apron for the 10-mile trial run.
West Vigo Star Going To Butler Ed Thornton, 17, of West Terre Haute, West Vigo High School’s leading scorer and rebounder last season, yesterday accepted a four-year athletic scholarship to Butler University. The 6-1, 175-pound forward was top scorer in the Western Indiana Conference, averaging 25 points per conference game. His 35 points is a record for one game with West Vigo. Thornton, who will study veterinary medicine, had a 46 per cent field goal average last season, scored 451 points and had 288 rebounds.
Shooting Champ STOCKHOLM UPI —Captain P. W. Kendall of the U. S. Army won the international shooting event at the “Olympic Match” Friday. Kendall, shooting from a prone position with an Army rifle, scored 592 points with 60 shots. The United States, however, finished second to Sweden in the over-all team standings.
Two-Stroke Lead MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Burly Billy Casper, who used his wedge like a putter to grab a two-stroke lead in the $50,000 Memphis Open golf tournament, moved into the third round today a full day ahead of his self-imposed schedule. The Corona, Calif., pro chipped over a sand trap and rolled the ball 90 feet “just like a putt” into the cup to eagle the 18th hole and tie the course record of 63, Friday.

By Joan O’Sullivan NOT EVERY vegetable works its way into the etiquette book but artichokes rate this distinction because the how-to of eating them is a mystery to many. When cooked and served whole, artichokes are a finger food. Pull off the outer leaves one at a time and dip the tender, fleshy end of each in a sauce or dressing. Draw the end of the leaf through the teeth to scrape off the edible part and discard the rest. When you get to the fuzzy center, the choke, lift it out in one piece by slipping a knife under and around it. This leaves the heart of the artichoke, which is rare and delicious treat. Artichokes can be served in a variety of ways. Out in California, where they grow in abundance, they appear on the menu for every course except dessert.
