SAE* and Chi Phia Race for
Beer, Glory in 144-Ilour
Grind
By Manning Austin
Shades of Bobby Walthour streak
ed around Athens' historic “loop” as
Chi Phi and S.A.E. riders sped on
in their sensational 14 4-hour bicycle
race which started last Sunday and
is to end Saturday afternoon at 3
o’clock near the intersection of
Lumpkin and Clayton streets.
Taking an early lead as a result
of their superior riding, the SAEs
immediately ran into trouble in the
form of a broken pedal, and trailed
the Chi Phis by a lap in the 4.7 mile
course Sunday night. Again Tues
day the accident jinx followed the
SAEs when they broke a wheel and
the Chi Phis got a nine-lap lead.
SAE again took the lead in the
pedal marathon Thursday afternoon
when the Chi Phi bicycle broke two
w’heels as Carlos Gomez took his
turn around the loop. At 3 p. m.
the SAEs were leading by about one
lap.
The best time of the race was
made by Tom Kennedy, SAE fresh
man, who covered four laps in 57
minutes, less than the alloted hour
that each rider must consume before
he can be replaced without a 5-
minute penalty. Close on his heels
was Charlie Motz, SAE, who rode
four laps in 58 minutes, which Is
averaging almost 20 miles per hour.
Winner's stakes is to be a beer
party, and a $100 bond has been
posted in case of forfeit by either
team.
The rules state that each rider
must sign in after each lap around
the loop (Lumpkin street, Prince
avenue, Hill street, and Milledge
avenue) in a book kept on alternate
days at the Chi Phi and SAE houses.
In spite of this serious handicap
in the race against time, the speed
sters have constantly reduced the
time needed to circle the course, the
best lap being 12 minutes, made by
Dave Barrow who has since been
withdrawn from the race because of
his place on the varsity track team.
The six-day bike race of the two
Greek letter fraternities is the first
outdoor six-day big race to be staged
