Auto Registration Shows
!. Rapid Growth In Number
/. OF Cars During Past Year

Some idea of the growth in popular
ity Of the automobile in Oregon during
the past year is to be obtained from a
comparison of registration figures for
the 1918 and 1919 series of registration
as compiled by the Automobile Record,
Of which NJ. o. Wilkins, OF fortiSnd,
is the editor and publisher.
The table compiled by the Record and
published below shows the registration
figures for five and half months Of
the 1919 series to be greater by nearly
10000 than for the corresponding period

BY TED MEREDITH

with record of feet ~. inches. along
with Hugas. of Pittsburgh; Stone. of
Cornell. and johnson. of Michigan, will
be others that will be pitted against
Larsen. but these men are outclassed by
the Brigham Young sensation.
I look for Larsen to try for the record
this year since he has been working on
his event during the time that he was in
the army and will be in fine shape. This
will bc the best chance this year that
he will hayc to get the stage setting
necessary in order to make new rec
ord.
Handicapped Before
On Iarscn's last. appearance at the
RELAYS he was out for the mark, but the
conditions were unfavorablc, due to
rain. The take off was too soggy. nut
even with these ha!ndicaps he cleared u
feet ; IS inches, which in itself is
marvellous jump.
High jumpers as a rule are very in e
consistent in their performances. but in
Larscu we find man that can do real
consistent work. so that 1t is not q
speculation to say that the record will
be in danger.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-04-09

WHEN Larsen. the Brigham Young
w University high jumper. sent his
entry in for the Penn Relay he put n
crimp in the hopes of the eastern stars.
The fact that Larsen jumped 6 feet 1aI
inches two years ago will make him the
favoritc and will assure him that the
competition will not be very keen If he
is in his old time form.
The field will be good ono in the
high jump. but none of the men will be
able to claim over 6 feet , inches as a
best performance. This height should
be a warm-up leap for man that has
cleared G.Ia,.
Larsen comes from the same place
that producted Alma Richards. who won
the Olympic event in 1912. lie looks aS
if hc is just littlc"improvcmcnt over
the first product who afterwards went
to Cornell and scored for the lthcans
in the years he competed.

GERMAN TOWN TIED
WITH FRANKFORT
Suburban Schools Each Have
Won Two InterschoIastic
League Games
TRAVIS FANS THIRTEEN
BY PAUL PREF

Germantown and Frankford High
Schools continued to play unbeatable
ball yesterday. and by winning their
Interscholastir League games are dead
, locked for first place. with two vie
tories and no defeats.
Germantown took the Catholic High
team into camp by the score of !O-4.
While Captain Jimmy Ginson was keep
ing the Catholic High TO six hits, well
scattered. the ClivcdcnS were hitting the
ball fairly well. but couldn't score more
than two runs until tho big sixth round.
In the final half of the sixth the
CIivedcns decided the issue. register
ing seven hits and as many runs. Ellis
Schacfcr singled to short and reached
sccmd on Kulp's sacrifice. Sam sent
his brother home with a long single TO
left. and scored on intield hits by Bar
rett and Haldcrstadt. Scatchard also
hit safely in the intield and Barrett and
lIalbcrStadt Tailed. Pnwson sent
Scatchard across The pan and stopped
at second on Bufficr' bunt. Gibson sac
rificcd. but Ellis Schacfcr struck out.
Frankford Surprises
Frankfords victory over the cham
pion West Philadelphia team was some
| what of a surprise. innSmuch aS the
! Speodboys had defeated South Phila-
| delphia last week. -Four runs in the
second and five more in the sixth gave
| the suburban team lead that was too
much for the champions.
Herb Travis, the all around athlete
| of Frankford, was in fine form aud
! famed thirteen batsmcn. West PEila-
dclphia made eight hits, three of which
were accounted for by Captain Davis.
! Davis had single, double and triple.
! Tome Plans Entertainment
Tome School is planning to make its
annual spring track meet on May II
/ one Of the best Of the country. In ad
dlion to offering MANY handsome tro-
phics. the school authorities are max
ing arrangements to entertain the visit
ing athletes.
They have contracted to run an eX-

springs, special breaking and bump
ing machines were rugged up at the
factory, and the cars, after that sup
posedly destructive test, were sent
out on trial trips which carried them
into every section of the country in all
sorts of weather conditions. The cars
were driven over the Rocky Noun
tains, through the desert roads and
boulder stretches Of the southwest,
over the sagebrush and sand Of Tex
as, and through the mud and clay Of
the Missouri valley. A two years
test, covering 100000 miles of travel!
The car satisfied the company's en-
gineers that it was right. The war
period which held up production was
devoted to an exhaustive perfection
Of car details, refining the quality and
economy features.
Without emphasizing such features
as an unusually attractive appear
ance, the all-steel body with an oven
baked enamel finish and other inter-
esting details, it may be said that mo-
toring interest centers in four new
and distinctive features of Overland
4. These features, each worth the
motorists study, are:
Springbase, Not Wheelbase.
First, of course, the three point
cantilever spring suspension. The
springs on Overland a extend fifteen
inches from point on the chassis
beyond the axles at front and rear,
giving a wide diagonal shape to the
springs. The car has thus an actual
springbase of 100 inches, although the
car wheelbase itself is 100 inches.
Each spring fexibly responds to its
task of keeping the body and passen-
gers riding on constantly even keel.
Bobbing, sidesway, and lurching are
materially lessened. The result is a
roomy, easy-riding car ona new type
Of springs so designed as to absorb
road shocks from the worst of pave
ments or roads. The WHY'S Overland
engineers make the unusual claim of
having produced car that rides well
on any road.
Second-Economy. The new springs
so protect the car from road shock as
to make possible much lighter weight
and hence great saving in fuel and
tires. Furthermore, the car is SO
simple and accessible that costs of up
keep and repairs must be greatly re-
duced. Yet the cars parts have a
protected accessibility big factor
in upkeep. The car is assembled
from five units only. The chassis is
clear Of all involved mechanism. The
entire assembly requires only 80 bolts.
The engine is a remarkable high
grade, thoroughly up-to-the-m minute
power plant, compact and simple.
The neatness and cleanness of design
bespeak the ready accessibility to all
parts.
New Quality Standard.
/ Third-Quality. Specifications in.
dictate that the Overland has beer
built in each part Of the finest quality
steels and steel-alloys. The car,
parts have been machined within tho
closest possible limits, permitting {
quality Of construction equal to thai
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1919-11-14

Overland 4, the new car Of light
weight construction for which the
public has been waiting since its in
PRODUCTION was first rumored at the
automobile shows about two years
ago, has been placed on exhibition at
the L'Anse Garage. The company's
dealers from Maine to California, and
from Washington to Florida, now
have on display one or more Of the
new models described as embodying
@the greatest improvement in riding
comfort since the introduction OF
pneumatic tires"
New Type of Springs.
This improvement is the use of
three point suspension springs. I'm
usually graceful in body design, Ov-
erIand 4 makes splendid impression
on the visitor. 1t was this new spring
suspension, however, which absorbed
motorist attention at the salesrooms
II is combination of two principles
tfiat have been used to greatest ad-
vantage in automobile construction:
First, that Of cantilever springs; Sec
oud. the flexible three-point construc-
ton.
The luxurious riding comfort these
springs furnish the car was immedi-
ateIy understood and appreciated. 1t
is this feature which gives to the new
Overland car, designed for light
wright, that degree Of riding comfort
and security hitherto possible only
IN high-priced, heavier cars.
But this is only one Of the many
features in Overland a which backs
the WHY'S Overland company's claim
to success in giving the public "a new
standard Of riding comfort"
The actual creation of Overland 4
began more than two years ago. The
last two years have been devoted to
testing and perfecting each part of
the car. Back Of its development
stand ten years of successful mani
featuring and engineering expert
epee in giving the public good motor
ears. For the immediate develop
nent and production Of Overland 4
John N. WHY'S has concentrated the
vast resources Of the Willys-O Overland
Company. Production will be on o
scale which will assure the greatest
economies in manufacturing.
Ideals Guide Design.
Guiding the development Of thi:
remarkable new car was Mr.. WHY'S
IDEAL of motor car which would
combine with the economy of light
weight all the comfortable riding
qualities and the stamina Of the heavy
aHd expensive automobiles. He pro
posed a car of built-in quality WHICH
would free the owner from all posi-
BE up-keep expenses. This was no
possible, the company claims, unit
the WHY'S Overland Company devise,
tffs interesting three-point sprint
suspension. a spring seating RADICAL,
different from the conventional de
sign Of four springs paralleling tn
chassis frame. New as this sprin,
suspension Is, 1t is interesting to not
that the design has been approved b.
the ociety Of Automotivc Engineers.
