THERE are often times when the life of
- every driver and passenger of an auto
mobile is largely dependent upon the tires
used. This applies not only to the strength
of the tire but to its non-skid qualities.
That is why it is vital that you buy tires
you know are properly constructed and
have the greatest strength and the best
non>skid features that you can buy.
You cannot afford to take the risk of
unknown brands
No one can Judge the strength, the
safety, the fexing life, the cushioning
qualities and the miles that are built into
a tire merely from its outside appearance,
yet when buying a tire you are really seek
ing these qualities-the most Of each that
your money will buy-not the most rub
Der, or the most cotton, or the most bulk
and weight.

What has brought about this great

BETTER ENGINEERING-This is
the answer. 1t is a victory for experience
gained through infinite research, labo-
ratory experiment and millions of miles
of road testing.
Back of every Firestone-buil Tire is this
assurance of getting the most your money
can buy. But to remove any question that
may be in your mind concerning the best
type of tire for your special needs, we
call your attention to the following brief
engineering facts.

Racer on Daytona Sands by
Rifle Sights ~

London, Oct. 23.-(P-When Ma
jor H. o. D. Segrave goes hurting
over the sands of Daytona Beach,
Fla, in the near future, at q speed
Of we'll over 200 miles per hour, he
will steer his car by rifle sights.
This. is one of the features of his
new car in which he hopes to at
tain a speed Of 240 miles an hour,
perhaps more.
Steering at 50 enormous = speed
is of inestimable difficulty. The
slightest error when the car is GO
ing at four miles . minute would
plunge it into the sea and mean
disaster.
Major Segrave will try to obviate
that difficulty by steering the car
with sights, just like rifle, and di-
rect it just as bullet is directed ia
its target.
The apparatus on the car consists
Of telescope sights. These wiz be
trained on q bulls eye target hang
ing from goal posts, 26 feet apart
There will be another pair of goal
posts, similarly equipped, one mile
away.
Major Segrave will train his
sights on the first of these targets
when he is q distance of four and
one-half miles away, and then start.
AS he hurtles under the first target
suspended over the start of the
timed distance he will pick up the
second target and steer directly
for it.

Chicago, Oct. 23.-(AP)-It isn't
very broad and it seldom has been,
but a triumphant smile has again
wreathed the face of the "F'lying
Dutchman," Coach Robert Zuppke of
Illinois.
With a victory over Indiana and

Of the orange and blue, "Zup" and
his powerful eleven have started on
what appears to be a straight march
towards their second straight Big
Ten football championship.
Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio State and
Wisconsin remain as threats, but
barring what would be most unex-
pected upset of the conference sea-
son, the Illini should tie, at least,
FOR top honors.
Zuppke's men have yet to meet
Northwestern, Michigan and Chi
cago, all Of which have been defeat
ed, in addition to Ohio State, which is
the last game on it's schedule and at
home. Either Minnesota or Iowa
will be virtually eliminated Saturday
when they clash at Iowa City, Wis
consin all but ruined its chances by
tying with Purdue, while Ohio State
must conquer Indiana, Iowa and
Illinois, a monumental task for any
eleven. Minnesota's great team has
tough schedule left-Iowa, North

Gus battle Saturday, Minnesota and

cred from a hypothetical defense,
and therein lies the weakness of the
system. If the fixed plays fail, and
they are likely to, there is only one
thing to do, and that is to punt.
Zone play demands frequent
punting and the ball is give to the
other team more often than it
should be.
Perhaps the zone play system is

Zone PLAY IS NOT
GENERAL PLAN IS
STRATECIST VIEW
BY JOCK SUTHERLAND
University of Pittsburgh Football
Coach

Some coaches furnish their quar-
terbacks with a drawing Of a grid
iron on which are indicated plays to
be used in various parts of the field.
If the ball is in dangerous territory,
certain plays are specified. If the
ball is in mid-field, other plays are
specified, etc. This is one method
of teaching the so-called Zone play
system.
Zone play is much discussed, but
is not used extensively. Because of
yearly changes in the rules, tending
toward more open game and less
conservatism, it will continue to lose
popularity.
Doesn't Favor Plan
Personally, / do not believe in
zone play. My ideas on the system
are based more on observation, and
discussion with other coaches, than
on actual experimentation.
The majority of coaches are con-
neutrality-suspicious. too conservative
and they live in fear of the wolf
chorus that follows one or two de-
feats. Other coaches have such high
opinions Of their regulations that
they want to play SAFE" to take
no chances. The zone play system
finds popularity with the latter
group.
When games that might have
been won are lost because of poor
judgment on the part of the quar-
terback, the coSch may decide to
lay down specific instructions for
the quarterback in the matter of
calling plays. He is given a chart
OF the field, laid out in zones. and
the signal-caller must use certain
plays in these zones.
Indicates Confidence Lack
Zone play. to my way Of think
ing, indicates lack of confidence in
the players. The attack is consid-

Minnesota Expects. to See
Grafton Boys on Varsity
Next Season

North Dakota may be represented
in the University Of Minnesota foot
ball team next year by two youths
who are being tutored this year in
the freshman squad.
The boys are Jim Meyers, and Bill
Farrelle, both Of Grafton. The boys
have been showing up good in prac-

Finger Sherman of the "frosh"
squad.
Meyers will seek job as back on
the varsity squad next year and
Farrell will try for a line position.
The freshman material at the
University of Minnesota is the best
that Sherman has had to work with
for four years, he said. All told,
there are about 175 men now in
training. but the number is expected
to shrink by at least So before the

over the concessions made to the
Americans by the government
cinema control commission.
Under the compromise plan pro.
posed by the French commission
the four.to-one quota for foreign
films would be abandoned and
American companies would be per-
mitted to import into France from
40 to so per cent of the total i'm
ports of 1927, when there were no
restrictions upon importations.
However. the splan was so con-
structed that American companies
would probably be compelled to
purchase a certain number of
French films each year.
1t is proposed that American film
concerns will be entitled to seven
importation permits for every film
made in France by an American
company. This proposal is designed
to encourage the opening OF produc-
