How TO Convert Perfect

Perplexing

How TO convert perfect score into
real. regular trophy is problem
which has perplexed many contest
ant in this years reliability runs. The
cause is simple. There are not enough
PRICES to reward the winners.
Three runs OF national importance
have already been held Each was fol-
lowed by a lottery in which drivers
of perfect ncore cars drew for the
trophy offered the tour victor. AS a
result of this system one contestant
proudly bears away prize. while the
others murmur "Oh Sugarl" and dis
perse, declaring that the luckiest
rather than the best car has won.
Bill Soules who drove the Glidden
Tour Pathfinder last year and has pi-
loted Studehaker cars to several per
feet scores this season has come to
believe that no reliably run cars
