INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -
Johnny Rutherford, pocketing
his share of the largest purse
in auto racing history, turned
to the president of the In-
dianapolis Motor Speedway
and quipped, “It’s been a
pleasure doing business with " .$100,000 in five years, the
payoff for 33rd, more than
$25,000, has nearly doubled in
that span.
Rutherford's total included
$23,600 in .lap pnzes for
leading Sunday s race. He also
received the Pontiac Tran-
sAm pace car and the win-
ner’s ring. The former record •
payoff was $290,364 to Al
Unser in 1978.
Tom Sneva, finishing second
for the third time in the past
four years, earned $128,945,
and third-place Gary Bet-
tenhausen, the slowest
qualifier for the race, took
home $86,945.
Another point of conflict
besides money, and one that
surfaced again Sunday, was
the new USAC restriction on
manifold pressure, which cut
horsepower and speed. There
were 10 different leaders
during the race and all three
last-row starters finished
among the top eight—but
some of the early dropouts
claimed the restriction killed
their chances.
“We’ve got some problems
now,’’ Rutherford
acknowledged Monday night,
“but we’re going to get them
sorted out. The end result is
going to make for better
racing.”
Sneva, who started dead last
after siiKst it ntin^* -iHUithpr
for one he wrecked in prac-
tice, said, “I’ve talked to a lot
of people since the race.
Nobody’s complained about 1
the speed we ran. As long as
we keep providing en-
said. “This is the first $1.5
million purse in racing
listory. l^ast year was only
$1.2 million, and both first and
last place will receive record
amounts.” •
The first prize lias jumped
you.
The glib Texan, the newest
member of a select group of
three-time winners of the
Indianapolis 500, earned
$318,020 for Sunday's 34-hour
drive through heavy traffic.
The total purse of more than
$1.5 million was divvied up
among the 33 drivers at the
annual victory banquet
Monday night.
“It’s hard to believe,”
Rutherford told more than
1,000 people at the In-
dianapolis Convention Center.
“Three times...It’s fantastic."
Ten of the drivers did not
attend the Victory Banquet,
including former winners A.J.
Foyt, Mario Andretti, Al and
Bobby Unser and Gordon
Johncock. Another driver,
sixth-place finisher Pancho
Carter, walked off the dais
after the master of
ceremonies made a cutting
remark about his unsuccessful
protest of a penalty.
Otherwise, the banquet was
a harmonious affair, m con-
trast with the tense scene a
year earlier amid the bitter
feud between the U.S. Auto
Club and the dissident
Championship Auto Racing
Teams.
The reconciliation, and the
reCord purse, resulted in large
... . part from the steady hand of
new Speedway President John
Cooper, who noted that money
indeed had been a part of the
unrest

strides in that area,” Cooper

Carter said he thought a
signal from the pace car to
slow down was a gesture tor
him to go ahead. The protest
was turned down because no
really new (acts were
presented beyond those
considered al the time the
penalty was assessed,” said
chief steward Tom Binford
Rutherford, starting from
the pole position, was
challenged throughout the
ravv by a suceession of
drivers, but his yellow

thanked USAC for "providing
us with a set of rules that gave
me my most enjoyable day at
the Speedway ”
The joy wasn't as great for -

point but was penalised one

Strategy is the key to mixed
doubles in tennis
It s always been proven
that you don't have to be a
great singles player to be a
great doubles player Singles
and doubles are completely
different, the strategy is
different «
In singles you're only play
mg for yourself In doubles
you have a partner, and
there's more of a chance of
the doubles team falling
apart If one person is a little
off, than the other person has
to try to cover up for him
I think doubles is very
psychological, and you have to
get along with your partner
You have to know your
partner s moods
You have to be very unsel
fish in doubles where sou can
You really need to use a lot
of variety when you play dou
bles - on your serve, on your
return of serve, on your rally-
ing and on your net play
Remember that just
can't play one way Your
opponents will be able to get
into a groove where they will
be able to expect a certain
shot from you all the time
You should come up with a
few different shots to keep
them guessing
One area where yeu can
change the type of shot you hit
is on your return of serve,
where there are two effective
shots
First, vou can hit the ball
hard and flat and hope to
overpower and shod your
opponent at the net Or you
can hit a slice return If this
type of return worts, it barely (
goes over the net and falls at
the server s feet And that s a
difficult shot to return
because he has to hit up all
the time
The feeling is that the
stronger players, usually the

The ^reason ts sunpie If you

year "a d" - and the
er player, let's.say the man. is
receiving the serve, he has the

game on his return of serve
And the same thing appluu
in the situation when you are
down a point and the man a
playing in the a d court He
can keep vour side in that
game by hitting a strong
return of serve
Also bv ’having the stronger
