again the amusing antics of the
three famous little characters will
visualize the features of Atlantic
White Flash, Atlantic Motor OIL

have caused Atlantic products to
be favored by a large section of

newspaper advertising will be a

Joseph R. Rollins, advertising
manager. "Over a long period of

the period ahead. Through the
use of newspapers we will be able
to keep our advertising message

results. No other media provide
this flexibility to the same degree"

steady increase in the power of At

The Importance of clearing hous-

created for this purpose.
At a clearing house, the repre-

SPORTS PARADE
BY HENRY McLEMORE

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov g. WP)-
As I get it the recipe for an ALI
America backfield man, as endorsed
by all our leading press box chefs,
read3 something like this:
Take equal parts Of speed. power,
and savvy, Mix we'll with ability
to kick and pass. Add a generous
pinch of endurance, and serve on
any field.
If that's right, then this Byron
"Whizzer' White of Colorado Uni
Versity deserves the gold watch, the
parchment scroll, tte double breast
ed sweater, and all the other items
that man named on the All
America gets.
He mas all the ingredients named
above. He proved that to my sat
isfaction on Saturday when, with
only occasional support from his
comrades, he brought his team to a
IT to 7 victory over a big. strong.
and spirited Utah University eleven.
He scored alls17 points, and in doing
so lifted his total from the season

Denver last Friday night, accounted
for the II points with a field goal,
touchdown dashes Of 81 and 81
yards, and two placement kicks for
the points after touchdoWns.
His 9T-yard run. which came when
his team was trailing 3 to 7 and
in rather sad straits, will go down
in the books as one OF the most
amazing bits Of football business in
years. None Of the 10000 spacta-
tors really knew how miraculous
that run was until they looked in
the Sunday papers and studied the
camera shots. Whizzer started this
run by taking a punt on his own
l2-yard line. Harassed by six Utah
players he retreatei to within three
yards Of his own goal. and then
The cameras showed that at this

surrounded him But the cameras
also showed that he came out of
this pocket trap ami, running with
in inches of the sidelines, streaked
81 yards for a score.
His escape from so many tacklers,
who completely surrounded him,
defies explanation. It couldn't have
been because of speed, because he
didn't have room for a straight
away burst. And it coul1nt have
been done with trickery alone, be-
cause any side-steps would have led
him into the arms OF a tackler.
My guess is that mirrors were en-
ployed.

beautiful change of pace.
White didn't throw many passes

that he was rushed to death by
the Utah line. And his kicking,
especially in the second half, was
superb.
