A L GORDON, hard riding race
L n driver (pictured above) who
was killed in a crash at the Ascot
track in Los Angeles yesterday,
thrice cheated" death at the Indi-
annapolis Motor Speedway.
Last spring Gordon qualified for
the local classic at speed of 119.4S1
miles per hour to earn a front row
position in the starting field.
For Is laps the daring Californian
held his car with the leaders. On
the next lap he lost control at the
northwest turn and shot toward
the outside retaining wall. His car
overturned and remained suspended
on the cement barrier, pinning Cor
don to the brick runway.
His crash helmet saved him from
serious injury and he was able to
walk back to the pits.
GORDON spent few days in the
NJ hospital in 1884 when his car
struck the wall on the southeast
turn.
Gordon skidded off the track in
the 1882 race here and jumped the
inside retaining rail. He managed
to bring his car to a stop without
injury to himself or his mechanic,
but the machine was damaged SO
badly it was withdrawn for the day.
Spider Matlock, Gordon's me-
chanic, who was fatally injured
in yesterdays accident, has smacked
walls on many American speedways.
He rode to victory with BILLY Ar
mold in the 1880 race here, but the
following year both men were seri-
ously injured in an accident. After
spending several weeks in a local
hospital, Matlock returned to the
tracks.
Auto racing has suffered a great
loss in the death of Gordon" Theo-
dore E. CPop) Myers, Speedway GER
eral manager, said. He was
driver of unusual personality as well
as ability. And Spider Matlock
will be missed. He was a popular
figure at all race courses"

Broad Ripple's Rockets are to un-
dertake task at which two other
local teams have failed when they
strike out to conquer the raging Ben
Davis county champions at the
Shortridge gym Friday night. After
II games, the Giants still know de-
feat only as something to hand TO
the other fellow, and among the I'M
willing receivers of those II preSen-
tations are Manual and Washing
ton.
Three Go On Road
Ripple did not play last week,
calling off game with Decatur
Central because of the unsympa-
thetic weather. Manual split even.
The Redskins dropped a close one
to Beech Grove Friday night, but
bounced back with a 41-26 victory
over Masonic Home at Franklin on
Saturday night. Washington be-
came victim No. II for the Ben
Davis Giants.
The other teams take to the road
Friday night. Tech hopes for
warmer weather than last Wednes-
days chiller, when tilt slated for
Lafayette was postponed, so that a
scheduled invasion Of Muncie may
be made. Shortridge, showing a
flicker Of promise once again after
a triumph over Cathedral, travels
to Charlottesville to resume an
annual reunion. Cathedral tricks to
Brazil.
Lest He Forget
Muncie is a North Central Con-
ference foe for Tech. The Bearcats
were going big around the first of
the year, but have suffered a re-
lapse and are now down in Techs
neck of the loop standings. Coach
Pete jolly of Muncie was on hand
for our recent city tourney and
probably departed none too wor-
ried about the Techmen, since they
didn't reveal much in the line of
genius during that event. But
Coach Jolly had best not forget that
Coach Bayne Freeman still has
the same boys who battled Frank
forts loop leaders to 31-31
Standstill.
The other a-city fracas on
the weekend bill is to pit Cathe-
oral against Tech at the East Side
goal shop Saturday night. Despite
that loss to Shortridge last week,
the Irish should rate even money
With the East Siders. The Cathe-
drals have been turning in off and
on ball all season and are an even
bet to be ION" next Saturday.
Neither squad will have the ad-
vantage of extra rest since both
face tough tussles ano road jostles
on the preceding night.
Home Again, Blue
After hooking up with a Craw-
louisville team which is far i'm
proved over last years Athenian
edition, but still not exceptional.
Shortridge's Blue Devils return
nome Saturday to tangle with
Rushville. The Lions have been
limited to small number of vic
tory roars this season, and so do
not stand to overwhelm the North
Siders, though they may make it
a hot scrap with either team likely
to wind up on top. Tech whipped
the Lions earlier in the season.
But, as you may have heard, Tech
also whipped Shortridge.
