Automobi'e Editor) WASHINGTON, Jan Wil brenk ot the . i dowi Suropean officials. Behind that decision, which was made at a meeting of racing offi- gin's poverned by the AAA and 20 engincering executives of the larg- est | automobi factories of the country, lies the story of a com- plete revolution of American rac-, ing .policies to make the speedway again the motor car industry’'s lab- oratory. The decision, reached at an in- formal conference in Detroit, will he amnounced after the neW con- irolling statutes are adopted in New York soon. It means that instead of going farther into the development of the small engine with great fucl economy at a sacrifice to other factors in the automobile design the speedway will be the testing ground for materials waich eater into the construction of stock anto- - mobiles. New Racing Creations The tiny 91% inch car, which hac been speeding to mew records " cach year but is considered im- . practical for stock' car design, soon will be out. In its place the speed- ways of 1930 will see racing cre- ations of 366 cubic inch displace- and two man crews. ‘Since 1912 2 pew racing car ‘M has been specified every three years. The European fra. ternity wrote these specifications _each time, and America followed Cars in the curient ible * lead. were the only enes i o major race meetings.

In further pursuit of these ideas Europe has just enacted racing legislation whereby all major races 'for the ensuing two years will be run on fuel, allowance or formula bazis. Furtner uvevelopment American motor experts believe that the motor buyer in this coun- try is interested in the further dc velopment of cars along lines of | betier performance, including morc comfortable springing, ‘improved road balance and handling, increas- ed acceleration with its comple ment of better deceleration and more uniform carburetion. Capt. BEddie* V. Rickenbacker, | chairman of the AAA contest | board, who called the meeting of | American officials, says that there |is a serious need for less expen- |cars that is now outlined in the | speeifications. “Even with refinement and care- ful tuning the normal every day {car would be wholly outelassed on a race course,” Rickeunbacker be out, as the new displacement limit will be 366 cubic inches. Two man crews again will be required. Expensive valve gears or mechan- isms of current types will be pro- hibited.

The three shown PROVO, Utah, Jan. 17.—More women students than men par- ticipate in athletics at Brigham Young University This is des- pite the fact that the institution has mep's teams entered in sev- eral sports in the Rocky Moun- tain, eonference, and the women students engage almost exclusive- ly in intra-mural contests. The wcemen's sports include hocékey, in which some 150 ‘of them are contestants during the fall months, tennis, fencing, horseback riding and archery, be- sides half a dozen other branches of athletics. Organized under Mjss Wilma Jeppson, director of women's ath- leties, the Brigham Young girls have formed a women’s athletie assoeiation, with hundreds -of girls partieipating in 11 popular sports, each under a ledder of its own. With athletic aectivities ri~ valing social pursuits for popu- iarity, bloomers and middies have almost beeome the school costutne ! for the girl students. With hockey just passing from the picture, basketbail is the cen-| ter of interest during the winter months, Later in the season arch- ery will claim a good deal of interest, with - a womén's team cutered in the Slate shoot. Swim-!¥ ming also is a populdr sport for the women students, and hiking, dancing, volley ball, foccer, field and track have their ‘deévotecs. A riding club for women has been organized, with mounts fur: nished by the Natjonal Guard battery stationed here. —————.——— AT ST.
