DAVE MOREY By VIM BRAUCHER

NEA Service Sports Editor
 New York.-Before the recent game with Bates this year, the Yale Daily News advocated that since Bates has such a woefully weak team" the admission should be reduced to 50 cents.
 It turned out that little Bates, a college at Lewiston, Me, twisted the bulldog into a tailspin, and the final score was a 0 to 0 tie.
 Behind such an upset there usually is a story, and the story in this case is Dave Mercy, coach.
 Since his graduation at Dart mouth, where he was one of Wall ter Camps All-America selections. Mercy has been coaching here and there. Mostly he has been prep ping the little ones to bowl over the big shots of the footba1l world.
 In 1923 he led a group of Yer mont college boys from Middlebury against Harvard and ran the Crim- son ragged for 8 to 6 tie.
 He bobbed up next at Alabama Poly where for two years he threw surprise after surprise into the southern teams.
 In 1928 he was helping Major Cayanaugh at Fordham. He ap- peared at Bates in 1929.
 Bates had forgotten what to do with the ball after making a touchdown. 1t had been so long since any Bates player had crossed. the line. That year IS men came out for football.
 His opening statement to the squad was significant of what was to come:
 T do not doubt that we can get together a team that will make touchdown. But we are going to have a team that will win. Either that or I will hang up my cleated shoes forever" Y
 The team scored in its very first game, against the Amherst Aggies Harvard took the second game. 4S to 0.
 Mercy made good on the third game-tfe struggle with Maine, which Maine. by the way, had won by a score of 46 to 0 the year be- fore. Little Bates sent Maine home talking to itself about to 0 beating.
 Yale might have known Detter what to expect. Instead of a woe fully weak" Bates eleven, the Blue ran up against team with de- fense especially devised for the choice Eli plays, and presented an attack that Yae could not decipher.
 Instead of 50-cent game. Yale ran into a million dollars worth or football, as it should be played.

introduced new Plymouth Six two weeks ago
with remarkable success.
Our Plymouth factory is running full force:
We have put lot of men to work, not only in
our factory but in hundreds of other factories
which supply US materials.
We do not believe in waiting around our.
selves, nor in asking anyone to wait around
for us. The way to get things started is to start
:. and if you want to start something that will
keep on going, especially in these times, it has
to be good. 1t can't be just ordinary.
That was the idea back of the new Plymouth
Six. Last years Plymouth was good car -:
a remarkably good car. We might have offered
it again this year by adding an inch or two of
wheelbase, a few new gadgets and changing
the radiator a trife.
However, that did not seem to be the best
thing to do right now. We wanted an outstand.
