• • THE EVENING STAR, Washington, D. C.
FRIDAY. AUGUST 13, 1958
D.C. Champ Tests Racer
Today on Derby Course
By STEED EVANS
Star Staff Correspondent
AKRON, Ohio, Aug. 12.—His
head still ringing from the wel
coming blasts of a brass band
and police sirens, Donald Duvall,
Washington’s 1955 Soap Box
Derby champion, today will get
down to the business of racing.
He and 153 other boys will test
drive their cars down the cham
pionship course in a preview of
Sunday’s big race. It will be the
first time Donald has seen his
car since he won the Washington
race on July 10. The car has been
painted yellow and brown, and,
according to some inspectors at
the track, it “looks like a going
thing.”
The car is a close copy of the
one Johnny Moore, jr„ drove to
10th place at Akron two years
ago. Donald has added a few
touches, like a set of wooden
springs.
Heat Competitors Chosen
When he takes the wheel for
the real thing on Sunday, he’ll
be racing in his first heat
against two boys from Panama
City, Fla., and Jackson City, Mo.
Prizes in the big race consist
of (15,000 in college scholarships
for the first five winners, motion
picture camera equipment, a
television set, power tools and a
tape recorder.
Donald flew from National
Airport to Pittsburgh yesterday
aboard a Capital Airlines Vis
count, and from Pittsburgh to
Akron, aboard a DC-3. About
the only time he saw the ground
was when he put his feet on it.!
The weather closed in on both
flights as soon as he was aloft.
A cotton-thick mist broke only
when the DC-3 approached the
Canton-Akron Airport.
Flies With Champions
Aboard with Donald and his
father, William A. Duvall of 1238
Pennsylvania avenue S.E., were
Sammy Boyer, 15-year-old
champion from Frederick, Md„
and Jerry Canaday, 12-year-old
champion from Fredericksburg,
Va. Jimmie Washington, 14-
year-old entrant from Hager
stown, was to arrive at Akron
later.
The Washington champ’s
mother, his 11-year-old sister,;
Sandra, and brother. Bill, 18. and
seven other members of the
family and friends are due to
arrive here today and tomorrow.
By Sunday, more than 34 rela
tives and friends from Wash
ington. Virginia and Maryland
will be in the stands to watch •
Donald race.
As soon as Donald arrived yes- :
terday, he was hustled off to,
Derby Town, a YMCA camp
located on a lakeshore several
miles out of Akron. There he
will be visited by celebrities
Dinah Shore and her husband,
George Montgomery; movie star
Jon Hall, Indianapolis speedway
winner Bob Sweikert and Otto
Graham of the Cleveland;
Browns football team.
