Champion
PIans Tria|Run
For Derby Today
BroyIes and 147 Rivals
To Engage in National
Race in Akron Sunday
By Wallace (. Clovton
By Wallace E. Clayton
Sfar Sfoff CORRESPONDENT

AKRON, Ohio, Aug. 13.-Jack
Broyles, Washington's 1913 Soap Box
Derby champion, was to learn today
If seven weeks and 400 miles have
made any difference in the speed
of his racer.
In company with the other 147
city champions gathered here for
the all-American Soap Box Derby
finals on Sunday, Jack will travel to
Derby Downs" for pre-race trial
runs.
For the first time since he streaked
to victory in the Washington race
last June Is, Jack will have an
opportunity to test his gravity
powered car. The squat black racer
was shipped here early this week
and has been stored at the especially
constructed Derby Downs" next to
the Akron Municipal Airport when
Jack arrived yesterday.
After Jack finishes his trial run
today, the racer will go back into
storage. He will not see it again
until he reports to the starting line
early Sunday afternoon for the big
race, the winner of which will
receive a four-year college scholar
ship.
Thrilled by Plane Ride.
Worry over the condition of his
racer tormented Jack yesterday,
as the plane on which he was max
ing the trip brought him nearer
this rubber capital. But his feel
ings of anxiety. did not detract from
the thrill he got from his first air.
plane ride.
Although he wants to be an aero
nautical engineer, the 15-year old
Paul Junior High School student
had never been in plane before.
Neither had his mother, Mrs. Joan
E. Davis, a Government Account
ing Office employee, who accompa-
MED him.
The champions greatest advcn-
ture was when Pilot Jack Moody of
Virginia Beach, Va, invited him to
the cockpit for a look around.
The champion travelled from the
airport to Derby headquarters in a
"Motorcade of Champions" headed
by two Akron motorcycle policemen
with sirens screaming.
While boys band played
marches, Jack pushed his way
through crowd gathered before
the headquarters and was oficially
registered as a champion.
CHARTERED at Derbytown.
He then was whisked to Derby
town, a camp situated about Is
miles from Akron. Here Jack and
the other champions will live dur
ing their stay.
Shortly after his arrival at the
120-acre campsite, Jack was pre-
sented with gold charm shaped
like tire. 1t was given him by
Akron Mayor Charles Slusser. The
champion later participated in a
treasure hunt and witnessed a water
carnival.
Almost every minute of Jacks
visit here has been planned for
him. When he Is not a trackside
today, he will be offered a variety
Of recreational facilities at the
camp.
The champion. however, is forced
to limit his participation in one of
the most popular activities at the
camp-eating. Not wishing to waste
any space in his racer, he con-
structed the gravity-powered car so
that he barely fits into the cockpit.
Another inch on his waistline would
be fatal.
So Jack was forced to smile and
shake his head when dessert was
passed. He also refused potatoes
and bread.

Mr.. Davis was asked to check into

none for Mr., Hart. The board was
curious because of the size of the
