The total was the lowest in postwar history and 20 under last year s record 83 car field. However several more entries may arrive before the April 15 deadline. Wilbur Shaw, speedway president, said recent years have aimed to discourage entries with little prospect of earning starting positions.

Janowicz Weighs Redskins Football Offer After Baseball Prospects
Vic Janowicz, Pirates catcher and 1950 Heisman Trophy winner, is weighing an offer from the Washington Redskins to switch to pro football. Marshall reportedly could pay more in football than in baseball, and Janowicz suggested he could play both sports though Pirates and Marshall may limit such move. He signed for 10,000 in 1952, earned 5,000 in 1953 and 6,000 this year, with limited major league playing time and potential farm assignment if his performance improves.
