Will success spoil Indiana? The idea that the long-suffering Hoosiers, sated by last year’s 9-1 Cinderella record, Big Ten co-championship and Rose Bowl game, may not be a “hungry” team in 1968 is something new for Indiana but a factor in Coach Jonn Font’s mind. “We must be able to live with winning,” said Pont. “This is something we won’t know until they come back, but we’ll find out early. We won’t have to wait until the first game to know.” Pont makes it plain he wants to retain the uninhibited, go-for-broke nature so dominant in the 1967 squad. “We don’t want them to lose that something they had. This is our kind of football and we don’t want to change them. It may seem like gambling, but to us

it isn’t.”

A few position shifts probably will be tried out when practice opens on the 30th. Sophomore John Andrews, Indianapolis, may be moved from loaded tight end to guard; letterman defensive end Clarence Price, Indianapolis will get a shot at linebacker; sophomore tackle Bob White, Cuyahoga Fall, O., may move somewhere, and sophomore linebacker Bob Scharnowske, Anderson, is likely to move to the offense at guard.

his first year team for the past week in two a day workouts. The Tiger Cubs have hopes of continuing a two year winning record posted by former coach Bob Bergman.

Century opens state fair tonight

INDIANAPOLIS, IND., -With a record purse and an all-time high number of entries already assured, predictions for new speed and elapsed time records were being offered this week in preparation for the 14th annual National Championship Drag Races at Indianapolis Raceway Park August 29 through Labor Day. Veteran Steve Carbone of California, one of the record 83 fuel dragster drivers entered indicated that speeds in the 230 mph bracket and elapsed times as low as 6.50 seconds might well be expected when the $150, 000 classic unfolds. “The prestige of this particular meet and the constant pressure from so many top drivers makes it impossible to let up even for a little bit,” Carbone said.

“You have to be at your best on every run or you’ll wind

up being a spectator.”

Current records for the Nationals are held by Michigan’s Chuck Kurzawa who recorded a 223.81 mph clocking in 6.76 second ii qualifications for last year’s event. This isa far cry from this initial winning figures of 143.91 mph and 10.03 seconds set by Calvin Rice who won the inaugural

Nationals in 1955.

Meanwhile, officials of the st. Louis National Hot Rod Association San Francisco which produces and sanctions the Cincinnati meet report several major Chicago changes in the Raceway Park Atlanta strip to accommodate the record Pittsburgh field of 1500 entries from 40 Philadelphia states. Extra staging lanes have Houston been added, the pit area has New York been enlarged and a new com- Los Angeles

A field of 42 cars with most of the United States Auto Club’s top stock car drivers behind the steering wheels is scheduled to bid for the 30 starting positions in the State Fair Century, to be run tonight at the Indiana

State Fairgrounds.

Opening-night feature of the 116th Indiana State Fair, the Century is expected to be a

battle between the Dodge Chargers and the Ford Torinos with the Plymouths also posing a challenge. The race is expected to feature a renewal of the “grudge battle” between Don White of Keokuk, Iowa, the defending USAC national stock car champion, and A1 Unser of Albuquerque, N.M. White was roundly booed by a

crowd of more than 18,000 fans as he accepted his victory laurels for the Indiana Classic Stock car race June 22. They thought he had “helped’ Unser spin out with less than two laps to go as Unser tried to re-pass White on the west turn. Unser was mad, but not about that. He objected that White had passed an intervening car while

this invasion, it appears to me that we have no choice but to maintain our present position. A question still unanswered was whether in the process of seizing Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union introduced significantly more troops into Central Europe, and if so, whether this would be a temporary or a permanent part of the balance of Rusian forces there. Pentagon studies, before the Czech invasion, have indicated a rough balance between NATO and Warsaw Pact forces available for immediate action in case of war. But it was not immediately clear to U.S. military analysts whether in the past week these numbers have changed by introduction of more Soviet forces into the area. Another question raised by the Czech developments was how much forewarning the United States and NATO would have in case of the outbreak of war against NATO. After the invasion of Czechoslovakia, Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin went to see President Johnson at the White House. It could be argued that in an attack against a NATO country it could be different.

the yellow light was on. Their feud is expected to help attract a record stock car crowd of more than 20,000 persons for the Century, which is the seventh annual. Both White and Unser will be in 1968 Dodge Chargers. Leading the Ford contingent will be A. J. Foyt, three-time winner of the Indianapolis “500”, five-time national driving champion and current stock car point leader. Joining him of the Ford group are Parnelli Jones, a former USAC stock car champion and “500” winner, and Jack Bowsher, who is owner of both his car and Foyt’s as well as one of the upand - coming stock chauffeurs. Heading the Plymouth group are Norm Nelson, a three-time USAC stock car champion and Roger McCluskey^ winner of the recent Springfield (111.) USAC National Champion and a top “500’ driver. Total prize money of more than $25,000 is expected to be at stake. The leader of each lap will receive at least $25 from the lap prize fund. The race is scheduled for 8 p.m. following practice at 5:30 p.m. and time trials at 6 p.m. Joseph L. Quinn Jr., State Fair Board director of auto racing, has scheduled elaborate opening ceremonies which will feature Lieutenant - Governor Robert L. Rock, Mayor Richard G. Lugar and the State Fair Pipers, accompanied fire works. Tickets are available at the ticket trailer at the Fairgrounds at 38th and Fall Creek Parkway.

Windup-pitch is horseshow slang

since then in 1952, 1958, and 19

Labor Day weekend big time for pacers, trotters

There is a special technique to horseshoe pitching, he said. “It’s similar to bowling; you must have good vision, co-ord-ination, and follow through.”

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA Any true harness racing buff who isn’t holding his or her breath until Labor Day weekend hasn’t been paying attention and deserves to be drummed out of the corps! With eight of the nation’s greatest Grand Circuit events slated for Saturday and Monday, Aug. 31 and Sept. 2 at the Indiana State Fair and practically every top swiftly in the sport eligible to compete, that Saturday and Sunday is destined to go down in history as Indiana’s finest hour. Before that weekend is over names like Nevele Pride, Snow Speed, Ozzie Hanover, Bye and

Large, Laverne Hanover, and Nevele Major will have old timers talking to themselves and wondering from whence cometh all that speed. Even the records for the prestige-packed Horseman Futurities are in eminent danger. Bret Hanover hung up a mark of 1:55 flat in 1965 even though beaten in the finale by Adios Vic in a real cliffhanger. Ozzie Hanover and Bye and Large haven’t been that fast as yet but have been dropping a second or two off their best efforts since hitting the mile strips on the Grand Circuit.

Nevele Pride or Snow Speed are a land-locked cinch to try for a new clocking in the three-year-old trotting division. Snow Speed took quick advantage of a Nevele Pride miscue in the Revie view Futurity to win in 1:59 1/5. Nevele Pride, smarting from defeat, his first in 18 starts, came right back to knock off a 1:58 1/5 second stanza. The record for the Horseman Futurity is 1:57 2/5, created by Stan Dancer’s Noble Victory in ’65. Dancer is piloting Nevele Pride and has his eyes dead set on the clock.

Even the neophyte pacers and trotters threaten to extinguish old marks this year. Nevele Major and Determined Way have been wrestling each all year with the former slightly better. Either could best Noble Victory’s ticking of 2:00 1/5 put up in 1964. Naturally, the Fox Stake is the most important event of the season in the Hoosier state. Bullet Hanover holds the record at 1:57 now but Laverne Hanover might just be the one to crack it. Undefeated in 14 starts, his timing of 1:59 2/5 is a two time thing without pressure.

Harris, a long-time horseshoe pitching enthusiast, has been pitching horseshoes since the early 1930’s. He first became interested in serious competition when a sports-writing friend encouraged competition among Arlo’s neighbors. Since then, Harris has been making the 40-foot pitch to the stake against competition from all over the world. He has trophies from almost every major contest in the country. There are usually about 100 men who vie for honors in the Men’s division of the State Fair Championships, according to

Harris. The Fair’s 1965, 1966 and 1967 winner, John Stimac, is expected to be among that number again this year. Harris took second place behind Stimac in the last three years’ competition. The State Fair Championship, approved by the American Horseshoe Pitchers Association, has a point-system type of scoring. Arlo compared this type of scoring to scoring to bowling; a number of points is derived from a given number of throws. The horseshoe pitching court, located west of the Conservation Building at the fairgrounds, is different from the average “sandlot” court. A “fire clay” substance is applied to the stake to give the horseshoe a “grip”. The clay is worked into a put-ty-like form and horseshoes generally stay where they land, Arlo said.
