He and Hill will get their next chance to qualify this afternoon. Gates to the track will open at 9 a.m. with practice starting at the same time. Qualifying will be from noon to 6 p.m. The 25 qualifiers just two short of the one-day record of 27 set the third day of trials in 1953 kept the track busy with qualifying from the time the track was turned over to that activity at 12:48 p.m.

following early morning rains that held up things for more than two hours. New York (AP) Thousands of (lag-waving, singing people flooded in wave after wave down Fifth Avenue yesterday in a massive show of support for American servicemen in Vietnam. One estimate said the number of marchers could be as high as 250,000. Ray Gimmler, the New York City fire department captain who organized the. "support-Our-Boys-In-Vietnam" demonstration said many times more people than expected showed up at the parade's kickoff spot.

He predicted the march might go on well into the night If the march were as large as predicted, it would be twice the size of the antiwar demonstration held here April 15. Official estimates of that demonstration were 125,000. THE VAST majority of the marchers carried American flags, either brought with them from their 1 homes or bought from hawkers who did a brisk business along the parade route. i Throughout the metropolitan area, people hung flags In front of, homes and bust- nesseS. 4 "There were several incidents of scuffling and sign ripping between marchers and anti- war advocates.

Drivers with one champion erased weren even dry on the books when he went out. Dan Gurney, qualifying immediately before the peerless paisano, had already gone 167.942 and 167.224 for one and four laps respectively. That stood up as the second fastest time of the day and the Wagner Lockheed Brake Fluid Eagle driver sat himself in the middle of the first row.

GORDON JOHNCOCK will start from the outside spot after putting his own Ger-hardt-Ford through its 10-mile run at 166.559 mph. Actually, Andretti's 1966 marks fell to six different drivers to the delight of some 225,000 speed fans who ignored a cool, gloomy day to crowd into the track. Joe Leonard was the first to whip past Andretti's four-lap record with an average of 166.098. But that proved to be just the fifth best time of the day and put him in the middle of the second row. SQUEEZING INSIDE of him was Sheraton-Thompson teammate A.

J. Foyt. Having to give up on one qualifying attempt when a distributor cap shattered, Foyt came back to make the grade with a run of 166.285 mph. The other driver to break the old marks was Parnelli Jones in the much-heralded STP Oil Treatment turbine.
