the trophy. Among them are Dick
Weber, Bob Hinkle, Ralph Stull,
Al Goodall, Homer Smith, Jack
Stewart and Red Lyons. Red
Lyons and Homer Smith shot a
hole in one at previous tourna-ments.
It will be greatly appreciated by
the committee in charge if each
foursome will call 642 and schedule
a starting time. This .will avoid
unnecessary delay at the course
and will help to speed up the play.
Those unable to make up a four-
Bome should call 642 anyway and
n starting time will be scheduled
for them.
Judging from the report on ticket
sales this tournament will be one
of the largest and best held at
Goodyear for a long time. Those
participating are asked to keep in
mind three things:

of them were taken aboard for
rides so they might see just how
the automobile is maneuvered.
The motor is in the rear-and
drives the front wheels. The
steering is through a single rear
