Cars Match Speeds En Drag Contention Competition entries In to day's drag races at White City will be gunning their sleek acceleration machines toward the strip gasoline record of 145.63 per hour. Should any contestant ex ceed this mark he will walk off with the $100 bond posted on this mark. Otherwise, the aw,ard will be increased to $125 for the first meet next month. The above record speed be longs to Warren Welsh, Reno, Nev. He set the mark last Sep tember behind the wheel of his rear-engined dragster. Southern Oregon Timing association officials said yes terday that interest always increases when the bond builds up to over the $100 mark. Last season, the pre vious mark, set by the late Jay Cheatham in 1958 wasn't bettered until late in the sum mer when Welch and his crew established the ,new standard. 160.87 mph Fastest The fastest speed ever re corded on the Medford strip Is 160.87 mph set last Septem ber by the Glass Slipper from Sacramento, Calif. Inasmuch as this speed was recorded by a dragster binning special 'fuel5 it did not qualify for the slrip gasoline mark. Several all-out acceleration machines are expected to be trying every angle today in their attempt to set a new mark. Although there will only be a few entries shooting for the strip mark there will be many contestants gunning for new marks in their classes. Some 100 entriesa re expected to provide keen competition for those getting into the winners circle. Time trials are slated to open this morning at 9:30 with the eliminations billed after lunch. Trophies will be awarded to all class winners, to all elim inators and for top time of the day. RuU Change Contestants who participate in the 'stock' classes are re minded that stock vehicles with floor shift controls will be allowed to participate in those classes. This is a rule change. Of special interest today will be a duel between Larry Sands of Central Point and the 'Zombie' owned by the Wheelers club of Meiford. The Wheelers 'Zombie' which is an "A" class competition coupe has been a consistent winner at the Medford strip for 15 consecutive meets. This year Sands built a e.ir to run in the same ciass and last week at Redding defeated the favored Zombie. SOTA officials emphasized that no car will be allowed to compete without a thorough safety check. The SOTA drag strip is lo cated seven miles north of Medford off the Crater Lake highway.

By HAL WOOD Bakersfield, Calif IUPII - If the rest of the field can keep up to high jumper John Thom as, Uncle Sam's boys won't have any trouble in the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome. The towering Boston uni versity athlete cleared the bar at 7 feet, 2 inches Friday night to set a world record. And he did it in the face of adversity in the form of a wind that once knocked off the cross-bar. Wind was strong enough in the 85 degree heat in the sta dium basin at 11 p.m. to make Ray Norton a winner in the 100 meter dash in 10.5 sec onds. That would be equal to about a slow 9.8 in the 100 yard dash. :'. . But the wind didn't bother Thomas. He cleared 7-2 on his second leap. But before he could leave the pit, the wind knocked off the cross-bar. "I was disappointed and it look a lot out of me when the jump was disallowed," said Thomas later. "But I made up for it with that next jump. This time the cross bar stayed on. But I was so tired from the efforts that I didn't want to try 7-3." Officials at the pit said that each time Thomas went over he cleared the bar without touching it. In fact, the high jump judge wanted to allow Thomas' first successful ef-i fort. But Pincus Sober, the meet referee, refused to allow the performance. Two other AAU records were set Friday night when Parry O'Brien heaved the shot 62 feet, 8Vi inches: and Marine Al Cantillo tossed the javelin 271 feet, 9 inches.

Why are people buying Volkswagens faster than they can be made? HERE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS: 1. Air-cooled engine can't freeze or overheat. No water to boil over in summer, or to freeze in winter. No anti-freeze needed. No radiator problems. 2. Good control In bad weather. The engine in the back gives superior traction to the rear wheels. In mud, sand, ice, snow, where other cars skid, you go. 3. Torsion-bar suspension holds the road. Torsion-bar springs with individual wheel suspen sion give uncanny control over rough roads, eliminate swing and sway on curves. 4. Doesn't go out of style. Volkswagen makes Internal changes to make the car better, not to make it obsolete. 5 Craftsmanship in construction. The VW is made to such close tolerances that it is airtight. You will open a window to shut the door. So tight that it floats in water. More than 3000 inspectors check VWs at each production stage. (2500 VWs are produced daily; there are more inspectors than cars.) 6. 32 mpg and fun to drive. You get an honest 32 mpg regular gas, regular driving. The shift ing is smooth it floats from gear to gear. The car is agile In traffic and parks where others can't. It hold S adults plus a surprising amount of luggage. 7. Service Is fast, economical, everywhere. The VW needs less service than other cars and costs are low. Service is available in all 50 states, Canada and Mexico. All technicians are factory trained and use VW parts and tools. , 8. The price of a VW Is $1782 complete Deliv ered Medford, with leatherette upholstery. White walls and radio are optional and so is a side mirror! Why are people buying Volkswagens faster than they can be made? Now you know. You'll know even better when you drive one.
