THERE WERE THRILLS AND SPILLS: Darrell Bryan of Groveport, O., is shown just before he went over the top in the professional hill climb held by the Ann Arbor Devil Dogs at their hill in Scio township yesterday. Notice that Bryan's front wheel is off the ground and he is giving his machine a good ride. Bryan won the title in the 45-B class in competition with 30 other riders.
