HIGH QD HAT ACH summer some new outdoor sport seems to come along and make its bid to capture the time and en- thusiasm of thousands of golfers, tennis- ers, swimmers, julep mixers and baseball bugs. This year it’s road racing and the tremendous success of the recent Van- derbilt speed classic out on Long Island has started a whole new group of sport fans talking about Mercedes Benzes, Alfa Romeos, Maseratis and the Auto Union. All of which has given junior grad idea. If it's thrills, spills, speed and excitement these motor maniacs want, why not inaugurate a cup race for Mack trucks, cross-country buses and moving vans? What could be more exciting than the spectacle of these juggernauts of the highway jockeying for position on the turns, ramming each other through the fence and pounding down the stretch, tail boards flapping, chains rattling and fenders banging across the finish line. And just think of the patriotic angle. For all their speed on the straight-away, we understand that the foreign drivers were no match for our boys on the curves. What chance do you think the Germans and the Italians would have against our heavy-footed truck drivers? Why, any motorist can tell you that they couldn't pass ‘em any place, let alone the curves. Too, and perhaps the best part of the whole idea, it would take a few of the monsters off the roads and out of the way if only for the day of the race. Yes, sir, any man with ideas as good as this should run for President in 1940. The motorist vote alone would carry every State in the Union, even including Maine and Vermont. It’s a Bet How many strokes does it take you to shave? Bill Lewis tells us that he has been picking up some change of late by betting his friends that they can’t shave in fifty strokes, and no looking up or heeling the club in the rough. We've tried it—and we're surprised. Pick out some pal whose chin looks as though it needed a touch of the blow. torch and make him give you odds. But be present when the blood begins to fun.
