About a quarter-mile out from the start, Vanderpool struck a telephone pole which was obli terated by the dust of the other leading riders. Number One rider Howard Jackson, following Vanderpool closely, hit the gUY wire of the pole and also crashed, sustaining a broken arm. Not only was Vanderpool tremendously competitive in desert events, but a credit to the entire industry. He bad formed a successful motorcycle shop, World Cycles at 3304 Sunset BlVd. in Los Angeles, and was held in high esteem for his honest dealings and pleasant, easy-going helpfulness to other riders. Deepest condolences are extended to Vanderpool's wife and two children in their loss, a loss that will be felt by all the motorcycle fraternity. 'jL~ P.s. See "''' fa..rite rid... at th.
