WIIII.K THE RIOI man pays these costs of placing a horse in a public stable, there are many owners today who trim expenses by training their own horse.

There are. of course, many variations of what an owner may decide to do. But very few pass up the opportunity of driving their own horse.

Harry's Jet, a five-year-old gelding owned by Ronald Sumpter, picked up his first victory of his career at Scioto.

Unfortunately, the 31 -year-old former baseball player at Fairview, wiio had suffered through 24 straight defeats, mussed seeing his horse's first triumph. Ron, who still plajs soft-ball and coaches a Little league team, spr-nt the evening at home entertaining bis players who won the league championship.

Isaac wore a similar vest to that of Petty's." THREE Wright Patterson Airmen had a lot to do with the vests, according to Col. Kaufmann.

Airman Carl Harris. SSgl. George Taylor and SSgt John Armstrong ran experiments on the vests long before they were introduced into racing. "Hamilton Standard (a division of United Aircraft Corp.) proposed the vests for race driver," Col. Kaufmann aid.

"But they hadn't tested it to our satisfaction. "We did most of our work last summer. We did consider trying to get someone in town here who drives to test it on week ends. But we got too busy, As far as I know, no real information has been collected on its success in automobiles." THE AIR FORCE'S idea was to adapt a suitable suit for pilots in Southeast Asia. "We wanted the simplest possible thing for a combat pilot," Col.

Kaufmann explained. "It meant he had to accept it first. We sottled for a vest no larger than a flack or survival vest. He could ahell out of it quickly. "Evaporating water is the best, but in the humid climate audi as Southeast Asia has watw doesn't evaporate.

Another means is to melt ice. Two pounds of ice will keep a man cool for about an hour If all the heat comes from the man. "We built a small ice box out of a coke cooler, then went, to one of tlie local auto-motive parts outfits and bought an electric fuel pump, "We found out how much sweat a man produces under Soutlieastern Asia conditions, thi we tried the est. It re-duced sweat pioduction by something like ii0 ptr cent at 115 decrees and fairly humid. A man in two hours sweats 700 grams at least that's l'j pounds.

With tlie wst, we reduced the sweat output, to a little less than 300 grams." THE EXPERIMENT called for using ice in the icebox and running water through coils which were attached to and run through the vet. Col. Kaufmann feels that a similar system used during the 5tX-mile race would provide Sunday afternoon driving comfort (in an air-conditioned ran to tlie race driver.
