10 TRAGI IS 17 LAST QUALIFYING Cntries to Pass 40 With Cars Eliminated. Iow fVKEflZIE. GORDON PASS Al Cordon. Lo Angeles, In a Lion Trrer Special, became the thirty qiialifir, making the lur laps a of 11 19 1 miles a hour. With only two place to be filled la the Martini lineup of forty to be fi.led, final speed trial for the an r.t:l 5J0 mile Memorial day race attracted rpecial attention at the ln ci polls motor epeedway Saturday Iternoon.

with nine cars luted as rxjs.vikle contenders. If more than two qualify the slowest cars qualified be automatically eliminated to hcU! the field to forty. George (Doc) McKenr.le, Edlngton, T. aa the first to qualify Saturday, driving his Crady Nardl Special ten miles at a speed of ICS. IS miles an hour.

The ear has near stocK Et.ucblcer motor and Is the second rrdy Special to qualify. Ion Duray continued his "in nut araln" procedure. One report was that thirty would not t'lify his stxteen cyllnder, two rrie Mallory Special. The Lion Tamer Special, with Al Gordon, Los Angeles, at the wheel, drove some "warm up" laps Saturday at about 109 miles an hour. It is a four cylln Miller motored creation.

Gene Haustcin. who Friday made an unsuccessful attempt to qualify his rronty Ford Special, was listed as a probable driver of the Moss Special entered by Tullo GuloUa. Kansas City. Others Included In the group considering; trials Saturday afternoon were Zeke Meyer In a Studebaker Spe elal: Sam Ross, In the tar entered by 'William Yarr: Jimmy Patterson. In a Duesenberg: W.

H. (Speed) Oardner, In an Alleghany Metal Special: Mau yie note, in th. second Milton Jones entry, and the Hoosler Pete special. The other car entered by Milton Jones was that In which he suffered fstal lnturles Friday. Attempts were being made to find a driver for the iroonter Pete Stvclal.

NEW PILOTS, CARS 1 Continued Ttgt 1. Fart 1 Vrle ineed. Drivers who don't knivw the meaninr of the lifted foot Drivers, who. had they lived In the time when knighthood was In flower, have been neroetually upsetting Gallant foes by the' impetuosity of their tharge. Moore Sets the raet.

Let's look into the question of speed first. The 1932 qualifications have seen greater speed by Individual drivers than either the 1930 or the 1931 preparatory period. Taketbecaae cf Lou Moore, and hi Boyle Valve Special. Lou went four times around the two and a half mile course a distance of ten miles at an average of 117.3R3 miles an hour. To accomplish this he had to turn sixteen corners at speed, lie had to come down the that make the front and the back stretches of the course at from 130 to 135 miles an hour.

lm Moore In his four qualification laps went faster than any other driver has gone since the rules were changed prohibiting supercharged cars two years ago. He drove hla ear irv one of th four lar an average of 118.577 miles an hour. This la faster than any other driver except Frank Lock hart has driven a rear drive around the famo'is 3.2fi0,000 bricks. Billy, Arnold came next with a qualification speed of 11S.290 mile an hour, JilishUy more than a mile an hour slower than Moore. W.

H. (Stubby) Stubblefleld. a mild mannered, quiet spoken chap frcm the Pacific coast literally catapulted, his Gllmore Special around the speedway for three laps at a speed in excess of 117 miles an hour. Then he got a bad tire and slowed up to a crawling 101 mile an hour average, to prevent an accident; and In spite of this slow lap his average was 112.899, practically 113 miles an iiour. So that had not misfortune prevented Sivbby would have reached out for I cu Moore's average, and have gone ahrad of Billy Arnold in qualification.

Though Bryan Saulpaugh. Bob frarey and Howard Wilcox did not show S3 much speed as the Moore, Arnold. Stubblefleld trio, they have plenty of It under their hoods. There are numerous others ln the same re te scry. Fred Frame and his Miller Ilaru front drive will have to be watched.

In fact, a close observer spending tils time about the cars can sense a real battle In the ah a speed joust that will be fought out only by the frrnt line drivers with such determination that it Li predicted that the average for the intermediate points In the race will be higher than ever before, and with everything else equal the record for the 500 miles will go a mile cr two miles above that set by Trter DcPaolo In 1925, when he drove a Duesenberg through the 500 miles at an average speed of 101.13 miles hour. Let leave the question of speed end go Into the second reason that assures a grxxl race: The difference In the of the cars entered. We have four cylinder vehicles, chariots and sixteen ones. There Is nothing new In that, for we have had them for yars. But we never have had so many high class rear driven cars, never so many fast front drivers and never, never In the history of speed war racing have we had four wheel trire cars.

It is the four heelers that must given the greater share of the spot hen it comes to newness in de Thy are a natural development, perha irom front wheel drlva cr. vhich have been fixtures in the Ir.f. race since their intro mn In 1323.

There is something more behind the four wheel drive entered by Harry Miller, west toast racing car builder, and the one entered by the Four Wheel Drle Auto Company, of CUntouville, WU than a inere race entry. If thee two tra perform credJUbly in the race, they may be the protteuitors a new race of pas wneer tars. They do not oeces aarily need to win to prove their case all they neea to oo mi pwiwm creditably.

There Is one car in the race, a highly specialized racing car. It true, that is streamlined to the nth dearree. We are speaking now of the Gllmore SpeciaL a four cylinder car to be driven by BtuDOieneia. oeiorr coming to Indianapolis Stubblefleld took the Identical car he will drive In the rsce to a dry lake bed In California and drove It over a measured mile, timed by the contest board of the American Automobile Association, at a speed of 147456 miles an hour. The body design of the Stubblefleld car is something entirely different from anything seen In recent years in the Indianapolis race.

Naturally the tar'a performance will be MUhed with a grea deal of Interest, Have Stack Car ADcealfy. Perhaps as interesting to thj majority of the people who will to aee the race is the number of cars with a alock car ancestry. This year will ee the largest number and the beat firepared near hlock cars tut ever lave parUclputea lu tle mlle event. The Sludebaker factory has made the sporting gesture of entering five cars. These cars have been made to conform to the regular Studebaker stock car as near as racing practice ill permit.

The frame members are not Itock. and the number of carbureters Is not stock: A short frame la a requLslte for the Indianapolis race, so the Studebakers have accepted that practice and built them to suit conditions. The speedway rules per mit a carbureter to every two cylin ders and since that arrangement makes a car faster than just one carbureter for eight cylinders change has been made. There rmay be other minor changes. There Is no attempt to say that these cars are 100 per cent, stock.

The racing rules would not permit, in a one great re spect, even If the factory insisted that Is In design of the body. The bodies ued In the Indianapolis race must be racing bodies pure and simple What has been said of Studebaker can as well be said of tb Hupp Comet which Russell Snowberger will drive, and of the two Hudson Specials which Al and Chet Miller will drive And In speaking of stock cars we may bring into the picture the Folly Farms Special, which under the really is In large oegiee a Graham near' block car. Phil Sharer a fight la as much Buick stock car as the others are stock and anything ld of them applies to him. The Studebsker team Is composed of Tony Oullota. Pete Kreis, Luther Johnson.

Cliff Bergere and Zeke Meyer, all drivers with considerable experience at Indianapolis. The Hupp. Comet Is driven by the outstanding exponent of stock car conversion in America Russell Snow berger. who. has finished two near stock cars In the money in the Indianapolis race.

All these near stock cars hare' sur prised the fans with their apeed. They have stepped up Into specialized rac Ing cars with their ability to get over the ground. It Is hardly fair to say that they have an equal chance with the highly gpeclaiized cars, to finish in itrst place, But what some of them lack in speed they have in atamina. They may not bo quite so quickly as the simon pure racing cars, but they may keep up the even tenor of their way that will carry along when faster, cars fall ythe wayside. But regardless of whether they can keep pace with the high speed racing creations, the near stock, are going to have thtir share of the interest.

The public has grown automobile wtee In the last few years. It does not expect miracles. In sheer speed it knows that racing cars should be faster than near stock cars. But In the stands there will be Graham owners, Hudxon owners. Hupp owners, Studebaker owners and Buick owners, who will watch with considerable pride the performance of the cars that are close relatives to the ones they drive every day." The Heavy Fooled Lads.

Getting back again to the younger drivers the lads with plenty of lead In their feet. In the argot of the race track. The outstanding examples of these knights of the heavy foot are Bryan Saulpaugh. Bob Carey, Howard Wilcox. Ernie Triplett and H.

W. Stubble field. In speaking of the comparatively beardless youths, no reflection Is being cast on such veterans as Fred Frame. Billy Arnold, Lou Moore, Wilbur Shaw, Bob McDonogh, Pete Kreis. Tony Gulotta and others who really are in the veteran class even though in years they do not reach beyond the early thirties.

ThUSaulpaugh person is so modest, as has been said before. that he blushes when he Is spoken to. If one did not know about his racing activities and were to meet him away from the track, or even around the track but outside a racing car, he would think hint a boy who had never done anything except take prizes for modesty and blushing. He has a wholesome smile and a set of million dollar teeth and all the rest that goes witn it. Yet his greatest claim to fame, ac cording to the boys who come from the west coast, is that once he gets Into a racing car he sheds all his modeM ways as a snake sheds Its old skin.

The metamorphosis from self effacement to a very forward young man is complete. He forgets everything except that he belongs up among the leaders and he does all he can to get there. In qualifying for a race on the Oakland (Cal.) mile track last new years day he made one circuit of it at an average speed of 101.934 miles an hour. Bob Carey, an Anderson (Ind.) youth, is another one who believes the best place to be is right out in front. Carey holds the rare distinction of having won three 100 mile races on the Oakland track at speeds In excess of 90 miles an hour rend that with fourteen drivers on the track at the same time.

Howard WUcox is a gray eyed Indianapolltan, who had to traipse clear to the west coast for: a real reputation as a dirt track driver, and now he has come back to his native heath to take part in a race that can make more money for Its winner than he could make in ten years at work lnr at lots of other thine. Both Triplett and Stubblefleld have ben under fire at the Indianapolis track in other years, but they are romrsrstlvely new end they belong to the heavy foot brigade and they have cars under them, as have Carey ana and Wilcox to go piares, ir tney so fleire. Particular Interest in the race centers In th three car Bowe Seal Tast team. Th'ne members are Louis Schneider, last year, winner; EU1 Cummin gs. fifth place winner 1930.

and Deacon Lit. The first two cart are of Miller ancestry. while the deacon's car is Duesenberg built. Other Indianapolis drivers whoe performance wilt be watched with In terest are Wilbur Shaw, a Miller Special: Howard Wilcox, in a Lion. Head Special: Wesley Crawford, in a Boyle Valve front drive, and Joe Huff.

In a sixteen cylinder front drive Highway Parts SpeciaL Joe whose part lev lar stunt is blindfold driving, is entered with an Art Rose Special, sponsored by a local tire dealer. Joe's car should ten throughout the race, not fast. but consistently. In fact, Indianapolis has a chance at firrt place this year, through con sitency as well as speed. One peculiarity or the race this year is that there is no definite informa tion or performance that would give any particular type1 or car carte blanche so far as winning itv concerned.

One can not this year say that the front wheel drives are faster than the rear drive; nor can one say that the edge In speed lies with the fours as a class, nor with the eights nor the aixleena. Lou Moore snowed the greatest speed In qualification; His car is a rear drive eight. Yet if the advocates oT the lour cy Under rear drive wisn to argue the matter they may point with pride to the great four cylinders of Stubblefleld. Wilcox. Triplett.

If these advocates get vociferous the sixteen cylinder advocates may point with pride to the top qualifiers, but when Saulpaugh lost nia car in a corner while qualifying and took a healthy slide Harry Miller, to whom the car belongs, told Saulpaugh, not to pull the speed stop out too far the next time. Picking winners Is always an in teresting and exciting speculation, and it can only be a speculation, on the basis of car performance and stamina. driving ability and speed, the winner should come out of this group: Billy Arnold. Hartz Mlller front drive; Fred Frame, Hartz Mlller front drive; Lou Moore, Valve rear drive: Bob McDonogh. F.

W. D. tiler four wheel drive: 11. w. stuboieneia.

uu more Special rear drive; Wilbur Shaw, Miller rear drive; Howard Wilcox, Llou Head Special, rear drive; Bob Carey. JadUon rear drive, and BUI Cumininga. Bowes Seal Fast. Only one of these can win It. and it may be that some now unnoticed driver will come along and pluck the plum that has been labeled for one of this select group.

But picking winners is interesting, and that is the way it looks from this vantage point. There are some drivers that have been passed up not because of their back of ability but through the feeling that their cars won go the whole route. We have passed up the near stock drivers, even the great Snowberger. simply because we believe that they won't have the call over the laster and lighter racing cars. Races can be won at the pits as well as on the track.

The near stock cars sre heavy and harder to handle than the special racing cars bees use of. that weight. some or them will have less mechani cal trouble, but it would not be Sur prising if the heavier cars should change more tires than the lighter ones, VH UeFaele'p Record May Fait. mis year win be, the first year that this writer has said that he believes, there is a possibility of break ing the track record. There are so many fast cars in the race that if one or two of them are pushed hard and they fclay in one piece it looks as though nothing could save the track record, always granting, that the weather helps by abstaining from excessive heat and rain.

It would not be at all astonishing to nave tne records lor the various intermediate points raised from the marks that have been records la previous years. It does not sound especially rash to say. that Pete DePaolo's record may oe raised a mile or two. One thing is certain: There are so many factors of Interest in the race that It will be highly Interesting from the spects tor's standpoint, i It would be a fine thing for a near stock car to rome across the line first, but It Is not probable that: this will prove true. It is asking a lot, of the four wheel drives, new as they are to racing and not having been run enough to have any lurking bugs chloroformed, to expect that one of them will finish irit.

Yet. If we cast out the possibility of mechanical trouble due to their newness, there should be nothing strange in one of them doing this very thing. One thing would seem definite In regard to them: As the race goes forward and the track becomes oily and dangerous, the four wheelers, because they drive on all four wheels, should have a distinct advantage over any other type of propulsion.

He did not know the end was near, nor that the accident In which he had been in hired fatally at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway had added its shadow of tragedy almost on the eve of the 600 mile race.

When his racing car plunged Into the outer guard rail on the dangerous southeast turn in the course of a practice spin. Jones accompanied by bis riding mechanic, Harold Oray, was receiving his last thrill. The car, traveling more than 100 miles an hour, 'ripped away fifteen feet of concrete rail, leaped into the air and plunged to the around outside the track.

Previously to that race all racing cars for years had been of small piston displacement and used The rules for the 1930 race provided that the piston displacement' limit of 91i cubic Inches, which had prevailed since and including the 192ft race, be raised from that figure to a maximum of 366 cubic Inches and that superchargers be barred, except that a positive displacement type could; be used on a two cycle engine, The 1930 rules also provided that only two carbureters could be used on any engine, regardless of the number of its cylinders. This rule later was changed to I sr mit the use of a carburetor; to each two cylinders. Two man bodies were made mandatory beginning with the 1930 race and certain other rules as to wiatn oi Doay at me cocapiv.

To be sure, there are the works, and' no douijt the; best works, of of the most capable artists of the day. One's objection comes with the realization that the selection did not i end 'j there.

Pre sumsbly the eonservativk and modern jurors have vented personal likes and dislikes to the extent that the exhibition haa become, instead of a group of the fifty best prints of the year, a group of prints expository of the artistic i principles and opinions of the two men who Judged them. Strictly speaking, there are twerfty nlno conservative prints, and twenty one moderns. In half world be may be changed for. next year is the one placing a minimum weight limit of 1,750 pounds on any car and providing that all cars must weigh a minimum of seven and one half pounds for each cubic Inch of displacement. This rule compels some of the cars, especially the near etock ones, to be weighted lead to conform to the weight rules.

It makes for carrying unnecessary weight and unnecessary weight makes for more tire wear. As a reeult of the change in rules for 1930, the cars In that race in general were much slower than racing cars had been lor several years. But this year, with two years of ex perience behind them, the drivers, de signers and builders have' managed to get back practically all the speed, that was lost, so that tne ouauiication speeds, while they have not broken Qualification records, nor have they in individual cases been as high as they were with supercharged cars, still have been higher, in most cases than in any other year in which the race has been run. The qualification record for the track was made In 1928 by Leon Duray in a front drive Miller Special. it was 122.391 miles an hour.

The near est any one has come 'to that this year is the 117.382 miles an hour. made by Lou Moore in a rear drive Boyle Special. Because of the large number or cars that have qualified at more than 110 miles an hour and because of the in tense rivalry among the cars of tne upper flights. It is expected the record race average, under favorable condi tions, may be raised from the .01.13 miles an hour made by Pete De Paolo la 1925, 'His car was a 'Duesenberg.
