Fastest indianapolis
Field in History SET
For 500-MiIe Race
By the Associoted Press

INDIANAPOLIS, May %. - The
fastest 33-car field in the history
of the 5OO-mile Memorial Day race
at the Indianapolis motor speedway
was completed today.
Four cars that had made quail
fication runs at better than 12O
miles an hour were bumped out of
the lineup in a last-minute furry
of time trials.
Thirty cars had qualified for Mon
days race in trials that started May
Is. The six that moved into the
field today were driven by Lee Wal
lard, Schenectady. N. Y; Duane
Carter, Santa Monica, Calf: Travis
(Spider) Webb, Bell, Calf; Mike
Salay, South Bend, Ind: Fred Aga
bashian, Albany, Calf; and Mel
Hansen, Los Angeles.
Webb made the lineup in a wierd
finale to the three week ends and
one Wednesday of qualification
tests. He already had qualified the
Anderson Offenhauser at better
than 121 miles an hour, but Gas
bumped out of the lineup by Car
ter's run at 126.O15 miles an hour in
the BelangeE Motors Special.
Webb jumped into another car, a
new Offenhauser owned by Louis
Bromme of Los Angeles, and made
two laps at 125 miles an hour. Then
he dropped fuel pump handle and
track officials turned on the caution
light. After a debate they let him
make two more laps after the track
had been closed, and he earned the
lineup with a 125.545 average.

|Try for Quick kayo
|StribIing's S Best BET
Against La Motta

Tomorrow nights fight at Grif-
nth Stadium between Jake La Motta
of New York and Ken Stribling
of Washington could be a lot closer
than many fans think it will be.
Some predict La Motta will finish
the local boy within the 10 rounds
scheduled.
If Stribling is chilled, it will be
for the first time. It's true that
up to now he hasn't met any one
of La Motta's caliber. About the
toughest boy he's tangled with is
Johnny Walker, whom he licked
in a stiff bout early this year.
There's a point of similarity be-
tween Walker and La Motta in
that both are strong body punchers.
Stribling is a stand-up fighter
with a good left jab and a fair
cross. He's fast. and has a slight
edge in reach and height on La
Motta. Another point in his favor
is that this will be Jake's first fight
after a Six-month layoff.
Jake's never fought here, but
he's extremely popular with the
fight customers elsewhere. AS a
spectator at the recent Graziano-
Horne fight, he got more of hand
from the fans than did Graziana.
He's solidly built, with broad
shoulders and tapering hips. He's
short and stocky, one reason fol
his body-punching style of fighting
He presents a difficult target with
his crouch, and then slips inside
to whale away at his opponents
midsection. Stribling's best bel
seems to be try for an early
knockout before La Motta can veal
him down. Only Billy Fox has
knocked out La Motta.
The semifeature is an eight-heatel
between Jimmy Cooper of Wash
ington and Joe Cay of England
featherweights. Other prelims are
Sam Jefferson against John Hands
bury, middleweights; Ken Baker
against Jackie Ford, lightweights
and Puggy King against Bert Weeks
