NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Another
football season is ready to be filed
away into the record book-and as
it's final chapter The Times sub
mits today the annual Hearst news
papers concensus All-America team
of the year.
It isn't a simple task to select
the best eleven or even the best
hundred players from among the
thousands who represented more
than 800 colleges on the gridlron
during the autumn campaign. For
one man it is a virtual lmpoSSl-
bility; he would be certain to over
look numerous deserving players,
or else be overimpreSsed by bally-
hoo campaigns.
Over 200 Experts
Happily. the Hearst consensus
system for the team selection over
comes these difficulties. More
than 200 football experts. writer's
editors, coaches and officials par
ticipated in the Hearst newspaper
poll. and among them they per-
Sonally saw in action eevry player
of prominence in the nation.
Consequently we feel the team
requires little explanation and no
apology. 1t is interesting to note
that seven of the II first team
nominees played with the strong
est teams in the country, Mime
sofa, Stanford and Alabama.
Obviously the Hearst observers
have decided Minnesota. Stanford
and Alabama were the strongest
teams because the best players
were members of their elevens, a
not illogical conclusion.

CENTER -POISE' RIDING STRESSED
BY ENGINEERS IN new FORD CARS

Close to 5000. persons inspected
the new 1885 Ford vas Saturday
at the show rooms of Edgar Bros,
valley Ford distributors, according
to w. 0. Hinderks, secretary of the
company, after checkover of rec
ords kept during the day.
"It was a real surprise to us to
have so many persons turn out to
see the new models, /" Hinderks
said. "We anticipated quite a
number of visitors, but hardly ex-
pected such a steady stream as
came from the first thing in the
morning until we closed at night. -
There are three major engin-
eering principles which combine to
give the new Ford Vas what Ford
engineers term center poise' rid
ing,v Hinderks pointed out.
These principles are: 80
Correct spring suspension, in
volving equality of front and rear
spring flexibility,
Proper car weight balance and
passenger weight distribution
location of passengers close to
the center of the car.
Utilization OF these in combina-
ton, as practiced by Ford engi-
neers, achieves for the new Ford
V-8 remarkable improvement in
riding comfort without sacrifice OF
either safety or stability.
Better Suspension
In the new Ford V-8 car the
Well-known Ford transverse spring
suspension has been newly applied.
Both the front and rear springs
are longer and more flexible. The
wider front spring is now mounted
ahead of the front axle, CORES
ponding with the mounting of the
rear spring back of the rear axle.
This gives the car a spring-base -
of more than 1913 inches, compared
with its wheelbase of LIZ inches.
Spring leaf ends are tapered, giving
smoother action over rough roads
and softening their motion over
highways. AS q further aid to i'm
proved cushioning of the car. larg-
er tires, with greater air capacity

and added road contact are used.
The second principle utilized TO
provide the new center poise ride ;,
is that of weight balance and dis
tribution. BY moving the engine
forward more than eight incnes
and by other changes in chassis
design, the weight of the car with
out passengers Is nearly equal on
each wheel.
Properly Balanced
Moreover, there is no excess
weight on either the front or rear
wheels when any number of pas
sengers Is carried, thus avoiding
= front-end heaviness," so shun-
ned by builders of racing cars. This
contributes to proper balancing of
the car, so that sharp bounce or
jarring is eliminated.
The third feature included in the
complete meaning of "center-
poise ride' and one of ma ior inn
portance is the location of the
passengers in both front and rear
seats closer to the center of the car.
The rear seat is well forward of the
rear axle. Thus the comfortable
"front seat" ride is now available
to those on the back seat as well.
Several factors in the design of
the new car are responsible for its
roadability and freedom from ex-
cessive side sway. The transverse
springs, cross-steering, low center
of gravity, the added stiffness of
the frame, wider rear tread and
balance of the entire car also con-
tribute.
