denly and surprisingly came to

forgotten in the stands.
Odds 8 to 5 on Army
On the opposite side was the
bank of blue from Annapolis,
equally military, equally vocifer-
Gus. They were the underdogs in
the betting at 8 to S, it being
deemed that a Navy team that
had won only three games this
year couldn't rate evenly with an
Army team that had only lost two.
Army Fears Air Attack
One of these, however, was the
Notre Dame drubbing of exactly
one week ago. This was con-
s1dered a matter worthy of atten-
ton because it was thought to
give the Navy a chance.
For while tn eNotre Dame
game fundamentally showed the
Army unable to resist this ire
moundous running attack, the
real revelation came from the
Army's vulnerbility to passes.
If the Army proved no better
in this department today, the
Navy would need no great deft-
ness in the air to score. It's key
man in this respect was Mr..
Chung Hoon, of Hawaii, who was
understood to be entirely re-
covered from previous injuries.
The Navy, in fact, was be
lieved to be physically sound,
whereas the Army, notably Vidal,
Kopcsak, and Lincoln, hadn't
fully recovered from the urgent,
imperious smashing applied by
those hardy Notre Dame blockers.
Navy'S Big Chance
So, for the first time since the
immemorial tie in Chicago six
years ago, the Navy came up to
this game on something approach
ing parity. It hasn't won the
game outright in II years, yet
the series stands no better than
II victories for the Army to IL
for the Navy. with three ties.

Finest Buick Ever Built
Now on Display Here

Buick is radically new. A fine
mesh radiator grill is of graceful
V-shape contour. Tenders are low
and broad and are mounted with
radiator and headlamps so that
frame distortion will not be trans
ferred to these units.
Bodies have been lowered ~
inches.
The straight eight, valve-in,
head Buick engines are mounted
at five points in resilient rubber
Other engine improvements in,
clude the use of two oil rings on
the pistons in addition to two
pressure rings which reduce oil
consumption and adds to engine
life.
Several engine refinements
have increased the horsepower
and performance of the engines
of all models. These include a
new exhaust manifold with sleeve
type expansion joints and a new
resonance type muffler.
An automatic carburetor heat
control replaces the former man,
ual operated device. This auto
matte control is operated by air
temperature taken directly back
of the radiator so that the gas
mixture is kept at the proper
