Driver Of Midgets Challenges
Big Boys at Lonhom I 7omorrow

The veteran drivers in t0mor-
row nights international late
model stock car race ct West
Lanham have received q chal-
lenge from a surprising quarter.
Nick Fornora, whose scant six
years in the racing profession
hardly compares with the expert
ence of most Of his two dozen
rivals, has raced only once out
side of the midget class. But he
has served notice to all that
the 100-mile classic is more than
just a workout to him. He's out
to win and he thinks he can
do it.
Such optimism coming from
one so new to stock cars would
be regarded as idle chatter ex-
cept for Fornora's showing in
that one race. The 5-foot-7. 125-
pound driver piloted a little
German Porsche auto to eighth
place in a field Of 40 starters in
the 200-mile International stock
car event at Langhorne, Pa, last
month.
He averaged between IS and
80 miles per hour over
Langhorne's. dirt track in 130-
degree heat and he didn't make
a single pit stop. He wrestled a
relatively unfamiliars machine
through dust and over holes in
the track to place second among
foreign car entries, as Dick ALL
wine came in sixth in a Jaguar.
Fornora's entry in Lanham's
Little International" comes
with a big assist from Red Crise,
racing director at West Lanham
and promoter of the recent
Langhorne test. Crise plucked
him out of the midget ranks as
his personal selection to drive
the Porsche. To Crise it looked
like a natural combination,
small driver in a small car
against the bigger boys in ma
chimes as much as double the
weight of the Porsche.
After Fornora turned in his
startling performance at Lang
horne. Crise made sure he would
have him when the National As
sociation of Stock. Car Racing
gave its approval for the 100
mile race at Lanham.
Fornora was born 80 years ago
in Madison, N. j., and later
moved to nearby Whippany,
where he grew up. He came to
Danbury, Conn, after the war,
where he met and married his
wife Bette, and now calls the
Evening star., 1953-07-16

New England city his home town.
They have one son, 2ha years old.
Fornora didn't get his start in
racing until 1947 when he en-
rolled in the first racing school
in this country, started by Lew
Volk and George Fonda. Nick,
whose slight frame fits well in
the little cars, has been driving
midgets ever since and in 1850
was the national point scoring
leader in the American Racing
Drivers Club. He also finished
fifth in 1949 and 1851, and Sec
ond last year in the national
rankings.
He is pleased so far with the
performance of the Porsche. a
sleek, air-cooled job with its
opposing four-cylinder engine in
the rear. II definitely think I
have a chance to finish in first
place Friday night" Fornora
says. "It's a big race for me
and for the other foreign cars
and I'm confident we are capa-
BILE of better showing than we
made at Langhorne."
Nick figures the Porsche's 1000
pounds and its air-cooled engine
will be an advantage on Lam
ham tight. Quarter-mile course.
And the other foreign cars, espe-
cially the Jaguars. will not be
hindered by dirt clogging their
cooling systems. which was the
case at Langhorne. But it re-
mains to be seen, however,
which cars-American or foreign
will be helped most by Lam
hams high-banked, asphalt oval.

u. 5. Reply Awaited
As NFL Insists "
Can Destroy Football
sy the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, July 16.-
The National Football League
says there will be no telecast OF
broadcast of its games If the
Government wins its antitrust
suit.
Standing firmly on it's conten-
ton that unlimited televisior
and radio coverage would de-
stroy" professional football, the
league filed a 92-page brief ir
Federal Court here yesterday de-
nying that its controlled TV an6
radio policy violates the Sher-
man Antitrust Act.
A decision in the case is ex-
pected in the fall.
In it's brief, the league denied
a Government contention that ii
is engaged in interstate COM
merce when it permits telecasts
Of its game. The league said ii
sells the broadcast rights and
does not engaged in the broad
cast activity itself.
The Government has until Au-
gust is to answer the brief. The
Justice Department contends. the
league put a restraint Of trade
conspiracy" in force by adopt
ing what is now Article K in
the league constitution. This
bans any NFL telecast within a
50-mile radius of a city where a
game is being played.
Without Article X" the brief
stated. there would not have
been and will not be any such
broadcasts or telecasts (of
games). Sponsors would not
purchase the transmission rights
nor would the clubs sell the
rights, if they could secure a
purchaser. for by so doing they
would destroy their gate and
eventually destroy themselves. "
Testimony in the non-jury
trial was heard by Judge Allan
K. Grim here
All along the league has con-
tended that telecasts have dras-
tic adverse effect on gate re-
ceipts when they are permitted
in a teams home area.

In other words, officials felt
the inconvenience suffered by
