Dixie Grid Eenen Arrange Important ntersecona 1923 Game

MYTH Ralph De Palma and
w Jules Goux listed to pilot
mounts in the next 500-mile race,
speed fans have something to
chirp about. When these two in
ternationally known drivers are
on the track the railbirds are as
sured of action. Both have
scored victories on the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway and they know just
about everything there is to know
about the five-century grind. De Palma
will be back in the seat Of a Packard
this year and it can be taken for
granted he viii be out to set terrific
pace. Two other Packard cars will lie
entered and the Detroit team surely
viii be listed with the favorites. Jules
Goux will drive a new foreign crea-
ton, sailing under the name Of
Schmidt Special. Speed fans know lit
tie about the car, but they know much
of Goux and his prowess. He is one
OF the front rank luminaries of the
speed game.
