WILMETTE LIFE, FRJDAY, NOVEMBER. 7, 1924 RECORD TFST- NO TRUCE Wim EXTEND . BEITER FOR CHRYSLER TURKS, HE SAYS UGHT CONTEST Ralph De Palma in Gruelling Near Eaat Worker Relates November 15 Now Grind Atrocities Final Date Set Ralph De Palma, veteran race driver, e,tahlishcd a wonderful record when he d~ono a Chrysler six 1000 milec in 16 hou r~. 47 minutes, 54.8 seconds, on the Fre,n·· Speedway Bowl recently, an a1 ·erac-c of 59.52 miles per hour. De Pain .; captured The Times trophy offered i<·r a stock touring-car chassis making the run against time. The race was timed by Hal Weller and Val Harenape of the :\merican Automobile Association and "Doc" ]. E. Betz, an official of th~ Los :\ ngcles Speedway, watched the car in the pit. The car was certified as stock by Times representatives in accordance with The Times' rules for the run. Starting at 2:25 o'clock Wednesday morn ing and completing his run shortly after i o'clock that night. De Palma a1·eraged mo~e than sixty-two miles up to the 800-mtle mark. At the 898-mile mark an oil-pump accident caused a delay ni fo rty-nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds. This, together with a delay of thirty-three minutes in the five hundred and twentieth lap, cut down De Palma's arera~c. The thirty-three-minute delay wao; occasioned when a broken spring made necessary the replacement of a val\'e. Throughout the long grind De Palma displa)·ccl a humorous vein. Even when he went into the pits in the eight hundred and ninety-eighth lap and there was a delay of practically fifty minutes he never lost his smile. He finished the run in a surprisingly fresh condition and while others who had witnessed the rae~ or had ass isted in servicing the car were preparing to make quick trips to sleeping quarters. De Palma was making an engagement. "Meet me at the hotel," he called to a friend . "I want to have a chat with you." The 1000 miles were covered with 102 ~allo~s of Ventura gasoline. In emptymg oil a check on the oil used was lost. Total time taken out amounted to two hours. five minutes, ten and four-tenths seconds. Nine times tire changes were made a.nd the car went into the pits thirteen t1mcs for gas and oil. .'\ remarkable feature connected with the run was the fact that the last 325 miles were covered without a fan. The fan belt broke in the six hundred and sevmty-fi_fth lap, but De Palma would not let 1t be replaced. Although the weather was hot, the mercury standing at 100 degrees and over in the sun during the afternoon, the engine kept comparatively cool. An accurate check of the water used was not obtainable. The first 100 miles was made at a speed of 65.61 miles per hour. The 200 was made at a rate of 65.7S. At 250 miles the rate was 65.51. For at 300 miles the speed had jumped to 66.21 miles per hour, while at the 400mile mark an average of 66.97 miles per hour was recorded. When the half-way mark, 500 miles, was reached the average speed was 66.11 miles an hour. The sp~ed at 600 miles was 62.08. At 700 m~les the average was 62.14, while at 750 m1les, the three-quarters mark, the speed h~d decreased to an average of 62.47. \\hen the 800-mile mark was reached the al'erage s~ood at 62.93. The average for the Q()() mtles was cut down to 58.84 miles per hour, due to the oil-pump accident. Complet ing the last 100 miles De Palma held to a speed of around seventy miles an hour, bringing his average for the 1000 miles to 59.52.

The overwhelming defeat last Saturday at the hands of Deerfield has brought about a change in the form of playing by the New Trier football team that surpasses any performance yet seen on the practice field or at a regular game. The boys are out to end the season with some triumphs. Proviso sends its best gridders to New Trier field this Saturday and Cooc:h Childs and his staff have been drilling the players in tactics designed to crush the enemy forces . If the team shows as much brilliance on the field Saturday as it has during the regular practice sessions this week, the New Trier squad will make the best showing of the 'year. Deerfield's 41-0 victory over New Trier was due to the frequent fumbling by the gray and green players. Their inability to hold the ball has cost them many points during the season . The weakness displayed by the New Trierites in their attempts at passing has also been remedied, it is believed, and more at·ention has been given to interference. New Trier expects to make a good showing against Proviso Saturday and when it meets Evanston on Nevember 15, although the Evanstonians .1ave one of the best teams in suburban Chicago, the traditional keen rivalry should provoke some of the best playing viewed this seas<>n.
