We pulled up slowly alongside of Clark and stopped him. We asked him for an address nearby. We grabbed him and told him he'd have to come along with us or else we would kill him. We told him we wanted the keys to the store be- cause we needed some guns and ammunition.

ON1 THE TENTH anniversary of the first car
~ to bear his name, Walter P. Chrysler
proudly presents to the world the new
AirAow* Chrysler.
Nothing that has previously existed in trans
portation gives any adequate idea of the sensa-
ton of riding in this car.
In one master stroke of eng cheering, it brings
to the motor car the effortless glide of the air
plane, the spaciousness Of drawing-roon1, and
a silent, floating ease of motion that surpasses
any known form of travel on sea or land or air.
1t is literally possible in the new AirAow
Chrysler to write letter, read book, or 60
to sleep while travelling over any sort Of road at
speeds up to ninety miles an hour!
This astonishing ride is achieved through the
application Of scientific principles of Dynamic
Balance. All the important weights in the car
have been redistributed. The engine is over the
front axle, the rear seat is 20 inches 0r1Uard of
the rear axle, the passengers ride at the center
of balance suspended between the two
axles. With this distribution of weight, the
action of the front springs is entirely independ-
ent of the rear.
But Chrysler engineers went still further!
They studied the 'speriodicity rate
Of spring movement. They discovered ways to
produce rate of spring action which is most
natural and restful to human nerves. They
called the result the "Fzoahng Ride"

RETIREMENT
WITH IFS
By FRANK "BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

Uncle Dan McGugin, coach of
the Vanderbilt Commodores since
1904, stood in the dressing room
at Griffith Stadium Saturday
afternoon. Around him was the
steady babel and confusion of a
winning teams dressing room.
Assistant managers threw soggy
jerseys into duffle bags. Back in
the showers young giants splashed
and frolicked as they hurled
taunts at each other, reviewing
incidents of the games. These
incidents reflected scant credit
upon the victims of the jibes.
There in a corner, soft hat
pulled down over his eyes, coat
collar turned up, McGugin stood
at his full six feet surveying the
scene with understanding eyes. A
smile played over his rugged fea-
lures. This was his room, these
were his boys, as football has
been his game since that autumn
afternoon in 1901 when he re-
ported for practice at Michigan.
$50 you're going to retire,
DAM" the writer asked Nc
Gugin.
"Yes." he replied, but in his
tone was an implied condition.
Yes, my work is pressing and
I've been around long time. I
don't want to wait until the pa
rade swings past me. I want to
be the coach who retired in
time. But"
AFTERNOONS ARE LONG
"What will you do with your
afternoons each fall, DAM" the
question pressed
He smiled again, and swept the
room with his eyes.

But it was not luck that saved
the day for Yale. It was the
traditional Bulldog fight, the un-
conquerable spirit of the Blue
that prevailed. Dartmouth ham,
mered at the door as it hammered
when Eddie Dooley was quarter
back at Hanover. But on the
fourth down Dartmouth was
nearly 20 yards further away

Yale football made.

nearer to It now than they were IN 1884 When
the Bulldog won by score of 113 to O. And
as Dartmouth is no nearer to winning now than
it was so years ago. football critics who have
been predicting for years that the Green would
win are no nearer to being correct than they
ever were.
There is more to psychology in sports than a
lot of folks will admit. Dartmouth figured by
every way to beat Yale, but it can't be done.
Maybe those Dartmouth boys press so hard
that they beat themselves.
Here was an unbeaten Green team that had
