(IP)--Bill Vukovich, a holiday driver with a heavy throttle foot, wound up today with 35.798.78, for his Memorial day duel with the road, at nearly 130 miles per hour, as he won the thirty-seventh annual 500- mile speedway race. Vukovich, a 34-year-old Fresno, chauffeur making his third start in the classic, actually was paid $89,496 96 for his winning venture, but 60 per cent of it belonged to car owner Howard Keck of Los Angeles.

But Iks pilot, who, a year ago was leading the field by 25 seconds with 20 miles Ib go when he rammed into the wall, got other benefits, including' a new car, six trophies, a watch, a dog and a set of tools. Biggest Payoff The cash payment to the car was the largest in race history, surpassing the previous record of $63,612.12 paid to Victor Lee Wallard in 1951. It included lap prize money of $29,250, at the rate of $150 for each lap he was in front, as he pased the field on 195 of the 200 laps. Vukovich sopped up his first gravy for his win yesterday, getting appearance money for showing himself to the crowd at a Winchester, race. Another Saturday racer, Jimmy DaywaK, ran in the event and suffered minor injuries when he cracked up during time trials.

Daywalt, who finished sixth in the "500," was named "rookie of the year" for his run. Official checking of the electric timer yesterday disclosed that Vukovich failed to lead from laps 49 through 53 after his first pit stop. Instead Freddie Agabashian was in front on lap 49, Jim Rathmann on 50, and Sam Hanks on 51 through 53. Takes Lead Again But then Vukovich sailed in "ront again and stayed there to the finish, averaging 128.740 miles per hour and requiring barely six minutes less than four hours for he 500-inile jaunt. Vukovich set speed records most of the way, except between 275 and 375 miles, when the field was slowed because of accidents, and after 425 miles, when he eased up on the pedal because lie had a throe-lap lead on the field.

Early in the race he traveled between 133 and 134 miles per hour and later ran over 131 miles per hour to keep ahead of the pack. Trailing him at the finish, and also at the pay line, came Art Cross, La Porte, Hanks, Burbank, Agabashian, Albany, $12,946.97, and Jack McGrath, Pasadena, $10,621.97. First reports had Agabashian finishing second, Cross third and Hanks fourth, but the recheck disclosed the Albany racer had been credited with one lap too many and the revision dropped him from second money to fourth with the other cars each advancing the posi- Heart Attack Fatal Five accidents involving six cars and five drivers occurred, but none were injured seriously and only one hospitalized today.

Trojan Trackmen Eye Title Meet STANFORD (IB The Univer sity of Southern California sig nailed today it was ready to de fend its NCAA championships by posting its 13th successive Pacific Coast conference track and fielc title.

The Trojans, by amassing 59y 2 points, far outdistanced the rest ol the conference members in the 23rd annual PCC meet here Saturday But while the Trojans were routinely fashioning the team championship, it was Stanford's all- around athletic great, Bob Mathias, who was mnking the news. In his athletic swan song, Mathias turned in one of his best track performances, taking individual, scoring honors with 12 points. Blond Bob lost a photo finish in the low huddles, racking the same time (25.2) as winner Jack Davis of Southern Cal; tossing the discus 160 feet 6Vs inches for third, and the shot 50 feet inches for a fourth.

While Native Dancer rested for his June 13 -engagement in the Belmont stakes, Tom Fool ran the second fastest Suburban handicap Saturday to beat Royal Vale, by a nose.

Belmont Park doesn't beat the drums for its features, but the mile and a quarter Suburban is one of America's top races and Tom Fool made the sixty-seventh running one of the most exciting as' he carried top weight of 128 pounds to a clocking. The racing.strip, drying out from a rain, made the time even more impressive. Tom Fool, running a mile and a quarter for the first time, led all the way under Ted Atkinson, but gave the 43,122 fans a magnificent exhibition of speed and courage as he dueled the Enblish-bred Royal Vale through the last eighth of a mile. Four in Row Only Whisk Broom II, who won the 1913 renewal in 2:00 under 129 pound, ever ran a faster Suburban. time, made before electrical devices clocked the thoroughbreds, long has been disputed by many horsemen.

Tom Fool has swept his four starts this year, including three straight handicaps, and has been out of the money only once in 24 races. His latest triumph was worth $40,400 to Greentree. A fever kept Tom Fool out of last year's triple crown races-Kentucky derby, Preakness and Belmont stakes--after he was named the outstanding 2-year-old colt of 1951. Considering that Hill Gail, last year's derby winner came out of that race with a leg injury and that Dark Star, this year's derby winner, already has leen retired because of an injury, that fever may have been the best thing that has happened to Tom Fool. Most of the other tracks featured races for 3-year-old colts and fillies Saturday.

HARVEY WARD Better Man Won, Says U.S. Golfer HOYLAKE, Eng. (IP) Harvie Ward, stymied by Ireland's Joe Carr in his bid to become the second American to wbi the British amateur golf championship two years in a row, conceded today that "the better man" won, but also said his fourth round match with Frank Stranahan was the toughest one he played in the tournament. Ward of Atlanta, was favored to give America its fourth straight title Saturday. But the defending champion, wearing three sweaters and three pairs of trousers as protection against the cold and wind, played his worst golf of the tournament as Carr scored a 2 up victory.

Carr, who needed three straight extra hole triumphs to reach the final, didn't play well either, but had the shots when he needed them. "Carr was underrated in Britain, but he has the right temperament for this type of golf. He came along with the right shot at the right time and that's what counts in match play. I just played badly and the better golfer won." Ward lost the first two holes to Carr, did not win one until he took the thirteenth and was 3 down after the morning 18. He fought back to even the score on the twenty-ninth green, but Carr won the thirtieth and remained in front the rest of the way.
