No. 1873: High Speed Motors.

AS is his custom, Smith had been
taking a periodic stroll along auto
mobile row. He believes in knowing
what's going on in motordom If only
as means of being prepared when he
Is planning to buy new car. This
habit, however, led him to a new puz.

What's wrong with high speed mo.
torS"' he asked when we met at the
garage. I've had half a dozen sales
men stress the point that their prod
ucts do not carry this type engine"
They're all high speed motors" l
retorted. speed is the basis of power
in the internal combustion gasoline
engine. What these chaps mean is
the excessively high speed engine, but
even there the word speed is confus.
ing. Speed is relative with regard to
engine design as it is with driving
/ explained that an engine, poorly
designed and cheaply built, might 60
to pieces more quickly driven at an
average speed of l 500 revolutions per
minute than would better engine
driven at an average speed of 1000
revolutions.
Then why don't they solve the
problem once and for all by making
the best engines of the slower speed
type" Smith suggested.
Higher Speeds Mean Power.
That would be the answer were 1t
not for the peculiarities of the internal
combustion engine. The higher its
speed, for a given engine size, the
more brilliant is it's performance. It's
f1eXibility increases with speed. It's
resultant power-the power recorded
in performance-increa SeS with engine
speed. The higher the engine speed
the more willing the engine will be to
perform while the car is running slow
ly in high gear.
An engine with tub" cylinders will
deliver performance when it reaches
q certain speed, but it is slow on the
pickup and, while it may not stall at
low speed in high gear 1t will vibrate
in a way that is both annoying and
fatal to the mechanism. This is a

be in comparative darkness.
In view of existing conditions, the
tendency toward the enactment of
State regulations that require or per-
nit very high Candlepower and pro-
vide as a safeguard against glare
rather complicated control of focused
beams seems to be inadvisable.
Scientific men in Government lab
oratories, universities and technical
colleges have been concentrating upon
the problem of vision that may prove
to be directly applicable to the head
lighting problem, and efforts are to
be made to secure the cooperation of
such men with the car and lamp man
ufacturers. 1t will also be necessary
for car owners to be instructed in the
rudiments of Illumination and the
functions of headlampS in language
that the layman can understand.

DANGER is AVOIDED.

The old rule about retarding the
spark when cranking a cold engine
does not apply to semi-automatic ad
vance type of ignition control. Even
though the spark lever is set in what
seems to be the fully advanced 20
sition on some Of the newer cars. the
spark does not fully advance until the
engine is running fast.
Obviously the engine cannot run
fast when just starting.
backfire from pre-ignition thus is
avoided automatically.

ton. You can see this in the differ
ence between a slow one-cylinder work
engine and straight-eight where
there are overlapping impulses on
the crankshaft to keep it spinning
faster. The parts are lighter, and
that encourages higher speed. Most
OF the speed difference, however,
comes from variations in the rear
axle gear reduction. Some engines
must turn over five times to every
one revolution Of the rear wheels,
three to one.
Slow Driving No Help.
"Your plan for driving slower, there
fore, doesn't help matters. Your en-
CINE may be running like a dynamo
even II the car isn't travelling so fast.
The engine may have to run at a
very high speed to help you over the
hills in high gear.
Bear in mind, however, that there
is nothing basically wrong with an
excessively high speed engine If it is
designed for the increased wear.
There Is one American car that de-
velops SO horsepower at $500 revolu-
lions per minute. This car will travel
80 miles an hour. The gear ratio is
! American car, built on directly oppo,
site lines, develops 1913 horsepower at
200 revolutions with gear ratio of

AS told Smith, the best proposition
| for the man who cannot afford the
best In cars is to look for a compro-
mise.

Other Fellow Dangerous.

1t is an old story in motordom that
the real problem in safety lies in look
ing out for the, other fellow and for
the fool things he does. In it's Winter
setting the story bids you not to drive
abreast of a car that is not chain
equipped when the streets are bad.
Its skid may mean a plunge into the
side of your car. Better keep your
distance before you find it's too late.

The man who can stop his car
quickly and quietly gives the impress
sion that he wasn't going in excess
of the town limit. Screeching brakes
are an unfair telltale.

open break between rival national
sports governing groups existed to-
day, the elimination of a long per-
iod of strife, as an aftermath TO the
launching Of the 1928 American
Olympic organization.
The latest clash has left the
Amateur Athletic Union more dom

control Of the plans for this coun-
try's participation in the Olympic
games at Amsterdam, Holland, two
years hence.
The Guadrennial meeting of the
American Olympic Association, a
perpetual body which merely sets in
motion every four years the actual
working machinery. furnished the
setting for this clibax to an athletic
conflict that has found the A. A. T..
arrayed for years against a group
headed by the National Collegiate
Tthletic Association and more re-

There were all the elements Of a
pitched battle in the sessions of
delegates of some two score athletic
organizations yesterday. Thrust
back in the opening skirmishes, the

T New York, Nov. 1S-lP-While
the unshrinking violets OF New York
University sped westward today to
meet the GROWING adventure Of the
season at Nebraska Saturday, Har-
ward and Yale buckled down to final
drills for the last of the traditional
Big Three conflicts.
The two foremost meetings OF the

New Haven. Fifty-one of them leave
from New York and Boston where
1t was announced yesterday that
$4,000 had been returned to apph-
cants for Harvard tickets because
of lack Of pasteboards.
In contrast to the mediocre
records Of the classic triumvirate RI
walls, the startling performances OF
tho New York University have
drawn the spotlight for the interses-
tional fray with the cornhuskers.
The Violets, in addition to whipping
eight straight opponents, have suf-
fered but 10 points scored against
them. The western invasion. the
frst of its kind ever undertaken by
a n. Y. U. eleven, marks the climax
of the most successful football sea-
son in the history of the University.

Tunney has no written contract to

will defend his newly-won heavy

The lack of a written agreement
between Tunney and Richard was
disclosed yesterday. Tu ey, In
conference with F'ugazy, expressed
his willingness to fight for that pro-
moter if satisfactory terms could be
arranged. Richard admitted he had
no more than verbal agreement
with Tunney under which the cham
pion was to meet the winner of an
elimination series this winter among
leading contenders.
FugaZy will discuss the n-..tter fur-
Their with Tunney next Tuesday, he
announced, and on that date the
champion will explain his reasons Tor
