T0 ATTEMPT 1) BREAK REGORD . Bddie Will Take Shot at World's Record for Twenty- Five Miles Sunday. OTHER DRIVERS ON TRACK Eddie Rickenbacher, winner of the 1915 Omaha automobile “classic, will start the ball rolling on the East Omaha oval Sunday afternoon. Ed- die will take ja crack at the world'’s record for twenty-five miles. Rickenbacher worked all day yes- terday on his motor. He tore the engine down, got out the sandpaper ‘and the ‘emory, and toiled for several hours. Late yesterday afternoon he had the motor all assembled again and today he will put on the track for a few brief tests before making his attempt to lower the record Sunday. The twenty-five mile record which Eddie will ha to ‘break is now held by Barney Oldfield. Barner nego- tiated the distance in-17:30.40 at In- dianapolis with a Stutz in 1914. Rick is confident he can beat this mark to a frazzle because the Omaha track is many seconds faster than Indianapolis and Rick believes his car is superior to_the one Barney tooled, While Rickenbacher’s attempt to lower the record will be the feature attraction of the Sabbath afternoon, he will not be the only driver on the track. Pete Henderson, his tiny team- mate, will be out to clip off a few fast miles. Pete also tore down his motor ynterthg and says he'll make . Mr, Rickenbacher do some tall hus- tling te lick him, [ ! It is also expected half a dozen ' other machines will be ready to take the track Sunday. ‘Al of the cars| a3 . which will race at Sioux City this aft- e night so ; & Harkness cars, the two Dela; and the Pusun; the Duesenbergs and the Crawfords are among the ma- chines 'in from the village up the stream.
