QUIET MOTOR
MAKES WILLYS
CARS POPULAR

For years it has been the aim of
automotive engineers to produce
quiet running motors and they have
made great strides in that direction.
However, some of them are handi
capped because of the number of
working parts that have to be 81
fenced, points out Lee Bros, dealers
in WHY'S Knight automobiles.
Naturally the fewer working
parts in an automobile engine, the
less noise there is to quict,' said
Lee. ''This feature has never wor-
ricd WHY'S Knight builders, for the
Slecvc-valVc engine has a minimum
of working parts which makes the
Knight motor inherently quiet.
''To operate the valves in poppet
valve motor it is necessary TO have
mechanism to open the valves and
springs to close them. In some en-
gincs the cams strike the bottom Of
a valve lift which in turn hits the
valve steam lifting it, allowing in,
grcsS Of gas and cgrcss Of tn" burn
ed mixture. \ spring forces the
valve back into its seat. That make
three metal contacts all of which are
forciblc.
"ln overhead valve engines of
most types there are long push rods
and rocker arms that are capable
Of adding to the noise.
"Thcsc things are absent in the
Knight sloovc-vaNc engine and
there is no forcihlc metal TO metal

sliding sleeves arc operated by arms
and the sleeves themselves work on

there is nothing about the valve ac.

It's a nip and touck race between
Waco and Houston nov for the
Texas league leadership. IL looked
a. though it would be Houston for
q top berth when the two clubs met
in the series opener in Waco laSt
Saturday. But the sliding pupils OF
Derrill Pratt came through with a
splendid exhibition Of baseball and
as q result they are still the leaders
after taking the Buff series.
An interesting fact about the
scoring In the Texas league last
week. For seven days ending Sun
day, San Antonio scored more
runs than any other or the eve
remaining clubs. And to make IL
more they scored more than any
team In the National and Ameri-
can leagues.
The Indians gathered a total Of
Sc runs over the seven-day period.

CURED totals OF S.. It's peculiar that
! cellar clubs are the ones that make
more runs. From that 1t appears
that more runs does not account for
more games chalked up in the win
column.
IL was our prediction that four
! records would be shattered In the
Southwestern conference meet.
We missed II one, as only three
new marks was set. We picked
Bracey to lower the century but
a brisk wind kept him from doing
II.

through as expected in the javelin
throw and likewise did Leo Baldwin
in the discus.
But three records that wer
broken were I'm the discus, javelin
and broad jump. All were on the

Of 204 feet. 4 1-2 inches with the
