SCHEDULE OF EVENTS FOR INDIANA r KENTUCKY, TENNESSEE ,A king-sized entry list of 150 will convene at Ascot Park Friday night for the fifth flat-track meet of the season. First race on the 18-event speed menu begins at 8: 15 p.m. Contention appears to run deeper than in recent years and so far during the 1967 campaign no rider has been able to win more than one Main Event. That. of course, includes the great Sammy Tanner. four-time Pacific Coast champion. Tanner won the opener but hasn·t been able to find his way into the winner's circle since. Mel Lache'r, Ralph White. Al Gun'ter, Dan Haaby, Chuck Jones, Elliott Sch ultz and Mert Lawwill are others who figure to have a shot at first prize. Torrid competition has been developing in the Amateur and Novice ranks, too. as the 1967 season promises to be one of the finest in South· land annals. ::I For further information call Dick Constable 213-367-2897. down.
