Flying from Greenland to Lab
rador, the American fliers got back
to the American mainland in FIVE
months and fourteen days after
their start around the world.
Children of the future will be
amazed at this slow trip around the
world. A feature of public school
education in future ages will be a
flying trip around the world during
Summer vacation. The child of
twelve will know the principal
mountain ranges, rivers and capi-
tails of the world by having actually
seen them.

NeW Brakes

Larger, more powerful, simpler and much easier
operated ~two-wheel brakes. An entirely new emer-
gency brake is operated from the instrument board,
instantly convenient to the drivers hand where it
slrnphhes the control and frees the floor board from
the old style lever. 1t acts on the propeller shaft.
There is uniform pressure at each wheel-equalized
through the rear axle.
The regular two-wheel Stakeholder brakes with
their simplicity, safety and great braking power
are entirely adequate.

@ODAY Studebaker proves that beauti-
full, distinctive, stylish body lines can
be originated by American body de-
signers without following precedent or imi-
tating or adapting what has been done be-
fore.
Today Studebaker proves that a practical
and beautiful type of car can be made to
combine the pleasure and performance of the
open car and the comfort and protection of
the closed Garland this without excessive
price or compromised quality-a car"duplex"
in open-car smartness and convenience and
closed-car elegance and comfort-and at a
price no higher than that of an open car!
Today Studebaker proves, in it's new
Standard Six Duplex model, that a six-cylin-
der car of fine quality, great power, plenty of
room and impressive appearance can be made
and marketed at a price of $1145.
Today Studebaker proves in it's new Spe-
cial Six and its Big Six Duplex models that
the ultimate in all the essential features of
quality in five and seven-passenger cars can
be made and marketed at a price of $1495
and $1875 respectively.
And this is possible only because Stude-
baker cars are made in one of the most COM
prehensive industrial plants in this country,
70 per cent of which is new within the last
six years.
Every modern method of manufacture and
long experienced management are available
for the production of Studebaker automo-
biles.
Today Studebaker proves that the highest
grade closed car bodies-framed in selected
hard woods, cushioned with the best cushion
work, upholstered in fine mohair fabrics and
fitted with expensive experimentation be
made and marketed on superlatively good
chassis at moderate prices.
This is made possible by the new $40, OOO,-
600 Studebaker closed body plants. Stude-
baker designs and builds all of its closed
bodies in one of the best equipped and most
modern body plants in the industry.

Balloon Tires

Genuine and full size balloon tires on all models.
Every part that functions with the tires has been
specially designed for balloon tire equipment
steering gear, steering knuckles, spindles and
springs, even the tenders.

NeW Lacquer Finish

The Standard Six closed bodies are beautifully
finished in semi-glaze, satin lacquer. The hood and
lower panels are in light gray, the upper panels in
darker gray. Hairline parallel stripping in oriental
red. Furnished nickel radiators, jet black tenders,
light golden finished, natural wood wheels and big
balloon tires are contrasting touches.
The Standard Duplex Models are finished in
glossy jet enamel - lasting, lustrous and wear
resisting.
The Special Six and the Big Six Duplex models
are in soft satin lacquer with dark blue hoods and
bodies striped in light blue and ivory. Here, too,
the sparkle is added with FURNISHED nickel radia-
tors and light, natural wood wheels in contrast
with jet black tenders and big, black balloon tires.

The upper structure is shaped in pressed steel
and covered with the finest waterproof fabric.
The steel construction permits the use of another
radical Studebakerc creation, the new roller enclos-
ing curtains. There is the permanent beauty and
durability OF the steel top plus the instant con-
venience of the roller curtains.
Thus Studebaker engineers have solved the OPEN
closed car problem.
The buyer who wants the airiness and practical
convenience OF the open car and who also wants
the comfort, protection and beauty of the closed
car can now get both in one car and at the price
of an open car.
One moment the new Studebaker Duplex is a
beautiful open cara touch of the hand to the
overlapping roller curtains and it is a snug
weather.tight closed car.

But Studebaker4 -Wheel Hydraulic Brakes with
disc wheels) can be furnished as optional equip
ment on all models at extra charge if desired.
Studebaker 4-Wheel Brakes have three exclusive
features not found on any other system in this
country.
1. Braking pressure is furnished by hydraulic
power automatically developed. A light touch to
the braking pedals controls its great force like a
touch to the throttle controls the power of the en-
CINE. This feature will appeal instantly to women
2. The front wheels cannot lock.
8. There are only two adjustments required-one
at each rear wheel. The front brakes are perma-
nently adjusted at the factory. The oil in the trans
mission is used to generate the hydraulic power;
the action of the gears and the pump keep it in cir
culation; it cannot CONCEAL or freeze. Braking
power is always instantly ready-in winter as well
as in summer!

More POpver

The universally famous Studebaker engine is
more than ever a peer among power plants. The
crankshaft is heavier. ALL surfaces are perfectly
machined to exact dimensions and balance. The
bearings are larger.
The engine is in unit with the clutch and trans
mission. There is a force feed fabrication system
with clean, strained oil always in reserve. There
are many changes and improvements which result
in MORE POWER, MORE QUIETNESS and
SMOOTHNESS and STILL BETTER PER-
FORMANCE in every way.

Neav Ease of Operation

Nep Ease of Gear Shifting-New power in brak-
ing, a touch to the pedal exerts a giants strength
at the rear wheels-New clutch action, soft as vel
vet-A new steering gear and steering knuckles de-
signed for balloon tires-A new grouping on the
gasoline gauge that always works accurately.
Lighting Control SsUitches-all on the steering
wheel-instantly handy.
Automatic Spark Control-No manual attention
required, SO the lever is eliminated. Automatically
governed to all speeds with the precision of ma
chinery.

And the Details

The ne,U cars are longer and lo.ver to the ground.
The line from the radiator to the rear is nearly
straight. The wheelbase of all models is increased.
The tenders are much wider and deeper crowned
to cover the width of the tires. They fit more
closely over the wheels. The rear tenders are long
and gracefully curved into the running boards.
The radiators are high and set low in the frames
and convex curved just below the filler cap. The
design is strikingly original and beautifully dis
tinctive.
Entirely netu head lamps and cowl parking lamps
designed by Studebaker = artistically appropriate
and in perfect keeping with the originality of the
body and fender design.
Deeper, sitter frames, more cross members;
shorter, hatter springs for balloon. tires. All bodies
lower, all roomier, better and more comfortably
cushioned. Seats are lower, backs and sides are
higher.

CENTRE BACK IN
 GOOD STANDING
Charges Against Ken lucky Institution Or
 dered Dismissed

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 4.-Charges that Centre college of Danville, Ky, had failed to comply with certain rules of the Association of Colleges and sec ondary schools of the southern states were ordered dismissed at the opening session today of the twenty-ninth an- nual convention of the association on recommendation of the executive com mittee.
 Allegations that Centre had failed to conform to rules governing athletic activities were presented at the 1923 convention (: the association held in Richmond, Va. Today's action was on an appeal taken by officials of the col lege from a decision of the commission on institutions, which after an inves- tigation last year, held adversely to the college. The association today re- stored Centre to full status as an ap- proved college.
 Approximately 400 educators repre- senting southern colleges attended to- days session of the convention. Dr. l.. T. Baker, dean of the University of South Carolina, president, of the as- sociatin, presided at the initial meet ing which has devoted largely to well coming addresses and the filing of con- mittee reports.

HOWARD FROSH BEGIN PRACTICE Large Squad On Hand For First Basketball
 Workout

Freshman basketball at Howard col lege took definite shape Thursday aft ernoon, when Coach Bob Shelton issued the first call for yearling candidates. Quite a sizeable little group was on hand for the first workout at the Y. M. c. A., more in the shape of get together meeting than a workout.
 As yet, it is impossible to tell any thing about the material available for the Howard Bullpup quintet. However, a nice array of high school stars are listed among the Freshman class at Howard this year, and Coach Shelton should not lack good material.
 Although a schedule has not yet been drawn up, Coach Shelton stated that his Bullpups will not lack engagements dur ing the coming season.
 Enter "Y" League
 The Howard Freshmen will be entered in the Y. M. c. As city league, and will play one contest a week against loop opponents. Last year Howard entered a reserve team in the City league, the Bullpups finish ing right up near the top. With an or ganized team in the loop, coached by a full time coach, the Howard Junior quintet should stand good chance of copping the flag this year.
 In addition to the City league games, the Bullpups will have a schedule of outside opponents also, Coach Shelton stated Thursday. Just who those op- ponents will be is uncertain, but it is thought that the Bullpups will play series with the freshmen of Birming- ham-Southern, perhaps a game with the Auburn Rats, and engagements with high school or normal school foes.
 The Howard varsity will be con- Gitioned by scrimmages with the bull pups during the coming season. The plan of sending the Freshmen against the Varsity is expected to be a great help to Coach Toby Stubbs in round ing the Bulldogs into winning shape

CHEEK ELECTED
 HARVARD PILOT
Injuries Handicapped Captain
 Elect During Past Season

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. A.. Marion Adolphus Cheek. formerly Of Berkeley, Cal, now resident Of Brookline, Mass, was unanimously cleo ted captain of the 1925 Harvard Var sity football team Wednesday.
 Cheek, who has played in the Harv- ard backfield for two seasons, was one of four men nominated, the others being J. W. Adie, A. H. Stafford and J. J. Maher.
 An unusual aspect of the election is the fact that the captain-elect did not start against either Yale or Princeton this fall. Injuries kept him on the sidelines in the early periods of the Crimsons' two most important games.
 The new leader is a member of the class of 26 and succeeds Malcolm Green ouch, who played center this season. He is 21 years old, stands five feet ten inches tall and weighs 175.

PANTHER CAGERS
 HAVE BIG MENU
Coach Drew Will Have Good Basketball [
 Quintet

Basketball practice has been started with a vim at Birmingham-Southe and the big assortment of material on Sunshine Slopes seems to indicate the best quintet in several years for the Panthers.
 A real schedule, including the best court combination in the southland, will be arranged for Coach Drew's basketeers, and some fine college cage games are predicted for the Magic City. Alabama and Sewanee are two which have been definitely scheduled.
 Coach Drew, before he came to the Magic City, had a fine reputation as a basketball coach, in fact, he was far wider known as a cage mentor than as a football coach. He has handled basket ball for a long time,' and followers of the Panther athletics are predicting a greater success for the new mentor on the court than he had in football. Birmingham-Southe has not had really good quintet in several years, and hopes for first-class combination are running high in the vicinity of Sun- shine Slopes.
 Strong Schedule
 The Drewmen will tackle the Uni versity of Alabama clan in Birming- ham on January 9, while Sewanee will appear here on February 5, it has been announced by Manager Fats Cole. There is a strong possibility of Van derbilt and Centre appearing on the schedule of the Partners, while it is very probable that Bo McMillan's Gen. tenary outfit will be included. The collegians will play the Birmingham Athletic club, while the big battle of the season, the game with Howard, will of course be feature of the menu. A fine schedule will certainly be arranged, at any odds, according to informa- tion on the Slopes.
 Coach Drew has quite a few letter men back in the fold, and these are being reinforced by several star ath- letes who are trying basketball for the first time. Capt. Red Farr and Alter nate Captain-elect Turner Scott are two grid performers who should go good in guard positions on the court. One of these men may fill the shoes left vacant by Hot Leyie, star back guard of last year, who graduated.
 Skeebie Caldwell. fast little forward of last season, and Ben Englebert, Simpson cautain, who was unable to play cue to a broken leg, are being groomed sstar forwards, while s. T. Kimbrough, Tate and Stevenson are other strong possibilities. Teague and McDorman are center guardians, while Pace, Grove Hill High luminary, is being used in, the pivotal role.

rave them a chance to get balls hit far out, and they could always come in for short flies. All outfielders find 1t cas- fer to come in on a ball than to go out on one. That is logical. That is the way they played when Cobb started his new style of base running.
 The outfielders now came in much closes they had to; it gave them a chan to cut off ground-hit balls and prev 1t the runner taking an extra base. It gave them a shorter throw and, again, prevented the runner getting a one-base advantage on account of a
 It is So in any game. When the attack changes, the defense must neces- sarily change to meet the attack. Things have to equalize, or come as near as pos sible to equalizing.
 Cobb had noticed, after entering the major leagues, that base runners circled the bags, touching the outside corner or stepping on the center of the bag in passing. He decided that he could gain a great deal more by changing this sys- tenn and touching the bag on the in- side corner. This would save at least three steps, and three steps mean a great deal in stretch of 90 feet-the distance between bases.
 Touched Inside Corner
 Cobb practiced this. Going from the plate to first he touched the in side corner of the bag as he made a sharp turn, instead of the wide. sweep ing turn. He stayed near direct line between the two bags, and when he touched the next side it was again on the inside corner, and so on to the next one. He eliminated yards of waste running and actually lessened the dis tance between bases. Later on players all adopted this style, touching the bag on the inside.
 In running bases Cobb was always credited with passing his attempt on the manner in which the outfielder handled the chance. That is only partly true. It is, as a matter of fact, a half truth. Cobb starte1 his dash, de- pending on the situation j.. the outfield but after he was on his way, he de- pended on the infielders.- And he did not judge his opportunities by the po- sition of the infielders but by the eyes of the man covering the base to- ward which he was advancing. Most infielders deceive the runner by their pose. They stand in a position meant to be misleading. Often an infielder who is waiting to take a throw will stand with his hands dangling at his sides, or hands on his hips. Also, he will not be standing in the direct path of the ball but turned partly sideways The object is to lead the runner to be. lieve the ball has not been thrown, to slow him up. The runner slows. The infielder suddenly leaps into action, but then it is too late for the runner tc spurt. Many runners have been caught because they were sucked in by the false position and attitude of the in fielder. Cobb learned how to over come. this ruse..
