Glidden Tour Plans and

for automobile racing also will be in

called. An ordinary incident which
would not so much as attract the at
the great driver to fret, and often un-
nerve him until he is unfit to start in
one of the long grinds which make UP
most of the interesting chapters In gas

Barney Oldfeld, one of the best known
of all great American drivers, and real
ly the father Of the speed game in this
country, never starts in race without
having tucked safely away In the pocket
in his shirt next to his heart beauti-
full prayer which his wife gave him
several years ago.
Louis Disbrow, who succeeds Strang
on the Case racing team, and probably
cne Of the greatest all-round track and
road drivers In the world today, says
that the figure has played an impor-
tant part in his career.
When the Case entries were made In
the Indianapolis Speedway $4,000 race,
Disbrow was named as the fifth driver;
At Savannah, Ga, Disbrow finished
fifth, but was the first driver to bring
home an American built racing machine
in this event.

racing career and you will find the fig

he asserts he saw American athletes do
at the Olympic, Games at shepherds

be little opposition to the, present game
among tie members of the committees
no radical changes are expected to be
made in the rules this year.
The indications are for considerable
discussion before any changes are made,
il any are made. The ercommitteemen
are by no means agreed as to what
should be done. Some are satisfied with
the present game and some are not,
but the fact remains that offense was

to make football! dull and more or less
unsatisfactory. -.

one or two seem to be needed. they
