AUTO SHOW is
DIFFERENT ALL
DULLNESS CONE
Pretty Girls and Movies
Among Changes at
1884 Event.
BY PAUL HARRISON
NEA Service staff Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The ma
tional automobile show is a real
show at last, instead Of the old type
of Stodgy exposition where cuSto-
mers paid good money for the
doubtful privilege of looking at some
price tags and some sleek but inert
mechanismS.
The record crowds Swarming
through the doors of the Grand
Central Palace have found that the
new deal in auto shows provides
more than new models and nerve
worn statesmen.
There are movies and marionette
shows, even some vaudeville, and
many, many pretty girls fully
equipped with knee action, air-f1ow
lines and a pleasing polish.
The amount of moving gadgetry
is bewildering. Cars spin around
on turntables. Chromium-plate
GLASSES have parts cut away so you
can see how everything works, from
the differential to the camshaft.
Miniature cars on treadmills are
put through all sorts of tortuous ex-
perienceS in order to demonstrate
the advantages of the new schemes
Of front-wheel suspension over the
old spring and-axle idea.
Over the whole show hangs an
atmosphere of sumptuousness and
flash reminiscent of A Century of
Progress.
Colors More Somber
The cars are all you've read about
them-and more. Wheelbases look
longer, but that's because the down.
sweeping, air-cleaving radiators
project well past the front wheels,
and the duck, fish or beaver tailed
rears do likewise in the other direc-
ton. In general there is less
chromium this year. Colors are
more somber, and blacks and dark
blues are in majority. Lots of last
seasons confusing gadgets are miss
ing, or seem to be.
It's possible to drive now without
co-pilot to keep an eye on
couple of yards of instrument panel,
most of the ammeterS, pressure
gauges and such having been gath
cred together in one or two simple
dials.
The new body lines are, of course,
the most striking visible develop
ment. Statesmen, all of whom must
have taken courses in aero-dyna-
mics, chatter glibly about Slip
streams, retarding vacuuns, leading
edges, airfoilS and pressure areas.
They have thought up everything
about fast driving except what to
say to the judge.
Smooth Riding Emphasized
Riding comfort is the next most
important consideration, a detail
taken care of by new ideas in
Springing, or by individual wheel
suspension.
These improvements turn cor
duroy roads into boulevards, cure
Shimmy, side-sway and pitching,
tend to eliminate back-seat driving,
and permit Alexander Woollcott to
write testimonials for advertise
mentS while travelling sixty miles an
hour.

ION z. Coburn, vino moved the
business to Indianapolis in the fall
OF 1882. Following the death of Mr..
Coburn about a month ago, the bust
ness passed into the hands Of mem
pers OF the Coburn family and con-
tlnued under the management of
Fred E. Reynolds, who had formerly
served as sales manager.
Retains COburn Name
No changes in the personnel or
policies of the business are antici-
pated, Mr.. Sidrow announced, and
the company will continue to oper-
ate under the Coburn name.
Mr.. Reynolds remains in the ca
pacity of general sales manager and
w. G. (Red) Kennedy in charge of
the used car department at 14O5
West Washington street. New car
and service departments are located
IN the Jackson building at $50 South
Meridian street.
Mr.. SidroW, who has already re-
signed from his post with the CheV-
rolet factory to assume command of
the new enterprise, first entered the
automobile business fourteen years
ago.
With Factory staff
Four years later he Joined the
factory staff as a district represen-
tative, rising to accounting manager
and later to the position as assistant
to A. F. Young, regional manager
at Cincinnati, O., and later at Flint,
Mich. Before coming to Indian
apolis. Mr. Sidrow served as city
sales manager for Chevrolet at

leadership in sales of the automo-
bile industry again during 1884.
These new cars which have many
new improvements, including knee
action" wheels, longer wheelbase
and a new type of motor design,
is by far the finest automobile Chev-
rolet has ever offered the American
public, Mr.. Berger asserted.
Knee Action Interesting
1.-THE knee action wheels, of
course, hold the principal interest
to the mechanical minded in the
show and the comfort seekers when
the cars are demonstrated" Mr..
Berger says.
THE knees, as shown by Chew
rolet, are of an inclosed type with
two springs and hydraulic shock
absorber, all working to make the
ride smoother.
I'm design the front unit is neat,
compact and efficient. The entire
coil spring mechanism and shock
absorbers are incased in sturdy
weather-tight steel housing and the
mechanism itself works in a bath of
oil. The front wheel is supported by
two strong arms extending from
the spring units. The units them
selves are rigidly bolted to the
frame by means of king pin sup
port.
THE knees not only make the
ride better, but the steering of the
car is greatly simplified when 60
ing is difficult.
New Engine Powerful
1.-The new blue streak engine with
which the new cars are powered is
more powerful, smoother, quieter
and more economical than any of
its predecessors.
1.-The valve arrangements of the
new engine have been changed so as
to realize greater power and mileage.
1.-THE cooling arrangements of the
cylinder head have been improved,
which will aid in the prevention of
carbon forming.
1.-THE 1884 line of passenger cars
again features the Fisher no-draft
ventilation in all closed body types.
All bodies are approximately 3A
inches longer.
New Frame Made
"The same beaver tail back as last
year is offered with improvements.
Cowl ventilators are closer to the
windshield, with its screened open
ing to the rear. Deflectors have
been placed at the top of the VEN
tilating vanes which prevent entry
of rain or snow when the ventilator
is open.
1.-THE 1884 Chevrolet frame is of

East's Offense More Varied.

-HE Eastern eleven launched its at
tack from both the single and
u double wing formation. The
Eastern offense was characterized more
by deception than that OF the west.
Danowski and Lukats Of Notre Dame
gained consistently on spinner plays.
The Eastern team played more open
game, using large number, OF passes
which we're featured by two beautiful
forward lateral passes used consecutive
" which gained SO yards. Anderson OF
Colgate was the middle man in each OF
these spectacular plays. The second
one of these lateral pass plays from
Anderson to Feathers gained 81 yaros.
This play was the most thrilling ma
neuver in we'll played game.
A glance at the statistics shows now
well the Eastern offense functioned /
the East made Is first downs to for
the west. while the East gained 300
wards from scrimmage by runs and
passes to the ITO yards for the West.
This is a lot of ground for team to
gain and not score and 1t Is more re-
markable when you consider the fact
that the East team. made up from
PLAYERS from Is different schools and
about a half dozen different systems OF
foot ball, had only nine days OF actual
practice. , IT, .
teams was even more standardized than
the offense. Both teams made use OF
the 6-2-2-1 type of defense, which has
become the most popular style IN 1oot
ball. AS q matter of fact, this type OF
defense was used more largely the past
year in all sections of the country, tnan
in every year previous. The western
team showed greater strength defens-
lively than the East and made three
splendid goal line stands that prevent
ed touchdowns. The West had an edge
in their ability to cover kicks.
