power plant, chassis changes for 1941 consist mainly of notifications required to adapt an already out standing chassis to the new body and sheet metal design. Among the Chevrolet fundamentals retained and refined are knee-action, with, fully-sealed bearings and high efficiency built in double action shock absorberS; semi elliptic tapered leaf-end rear springs with threated tension type shackles, double-acting hydraulic shock ab- sorbers, and metal spring covers; Safe-T-Special brakes with Chev- rolet's exclusive double-articulated linkage; syncromesh transmission with all helical gears; hypoid rear axle, and the famous tiptoe-matic clutch which Chevrolet introduced in 1888.
 Chevrolet's six-cylinder valve-in. head negine has undergone impor- tant improvements in preparation of hte 1941 models. Horsepower has been stepped up from 85 to 90 with out increasing piston displacement principally by re-designing the combustion chamber to increase compression ratio from 6.25-1 to 6.50-1. The added power thus made vaailable is achieved without corn- promising economy, either of gaso- line or of oil.
 Automatic Switch
 An innovation for 1941, in the electrical system, is an automatic switch which reverses the polarity of the ignition current each time the starter is operated. This pro- longs the life of the ignition dis tributor points by equalizing wear on both sides. Other Improvements in the system include water-and moisture proof coil, high-output generator with automatic voltage ani current regulator, new hgih- compression spark plugs, and 100- ampere-hour battery with non-over- fill caps, easily accessible under hood/
 Body styles available in both 1941 series include sport sedan, town sedan, five-passenger coupe and business coupe. In addition, a smart cabrioiet with vacuum operated top. and aa improved station wagon, are offered on the Special De Luxe, while coupe pickup and sedan de- livery are available on the Master De Luxe. Standard equipment on both series includes extra wheel and tire, front and rear bumpers a,,A h,,roY,ay p4tards On Snecial De Luxe series, double sun-visors of new type with sliding adjustment feature, are provided, and on the Master De Luxe, one of each is furnished.

Automobile Notes

The battery in all 1941 Oldsmo- piles, located under the hood, uses short cables and as 8 result line loss is appreciably reduced. This enables the starter to crank the motor fast CT, feature of importance in cold weather starting.
 Oldsmobile Sizes and Flights for 194I are equipped with an auxiliary mechanical braking system for parking and emergency use. The hand brake, which operates on the rear wheels by means of strong, steel cables, is independent of the hydraulic brakes and provides Olds- mobile cars with two separate brak- ing systems.
 The proved Center-C Control steer ing system, feature of all 1941 Oldsmobile Sizes and Fights. im- proves ease of handling, safety and roadability. Not only is steering saf- CT and more positive but also smoother and easier because the new Oldsmobiles follow Q set course with only the slightest effort on the part of the car driver.
 The all-steel Fisher Bodies on the lO4l Oldsmobiles are without Q sine gle bolt or rivet. Sides, top and the steel floor are welded together and form c strong reinforced structure of steel that has been declared by experts to Do the safest body ever built.

Jim watched the wheels go around for a while and then listened tO a very able speech by a chap speaking for the na- tional committee who said: Why fl Alaska and these other territories got together with the votes they have they would blanket the vote of seven western states
 Ever quick on the trigger. Davis innoeently inquired if this had ever been done. The speaker admitted t hadn't.
 Then said Jim. T ask a 1o- minute recess so we can do it for the first time
 He got the recess and a lot of solid support for defeating the na- tional committees recommendation When the poll was taken. he had a majority of one for leaving well enough alone. so Alaska still has six delegates to the national con- yention instead of three as proposed.

galore in the south this weekend,

at Birmingham, where undefeated
Tennessee meets Alabama's unbeaten
Crimson Tide.
Untried except in preliminary en-
counters against Spring Hill. Mercer

unknown quantity in the Southeast

one of the nations best tailbacks,
Bob Foxx, already has taken one
major decision, a 1870 win over
Duke, besides minor league wins
over Mercer. and Chattanooga.
Barring a tie, one of the contend
ers appears bound to come out of
Saturdays fray an odds-on favorite
to dominate the conference for the
rest of the season and rank as top
contender for a ~post-season bowl
bid.

Aside from the Alabama-Tennessee
encounter, only n other Southern

will be Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech

NEW YORK, Oct. 17-R-Since
they may be on the mourners'
bench before the football season
has run its course, this seems an
appropriate time to toss a few bou'
quets toward three coaches who

Reading from east to west, they

Jess Nicely of Rice, and Clark
Shaughnessy of Stanford. Not only
is each the proud parent OF an I'm

Owls have held the opposition
~scoreless in two games while the
Clemson and Stanford defenses
have given up only one touchdown
apiece.
Since Howard had been Neely's
assistant before Jess went to Rice,
one might think the Clemson coach
had the least amount of adjusting
to do. Yet he did have to develop
an attack that would click despite
the loss of all-America Banks Nc.

SCHMIDT ADMITS
PLAYER ILLEGAL
Maap Who Kicked Goal That
Beat Purdue In Game H.
legally; Incident Closed

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. H.|RN
Coach Francis Schmidt OF Ohio
States Western conference foot
ball champions admitted todaS
that Charley Mag, huge tackle
was in the game illegally Oct. I
when he booted a last-minute field
goal to defeat Purdue II to IA.
Schmidt said "the motion pic
ture sof hte game show that Mag
was substituted illegally in the Sec
ond period, which would have bar
red him from further competition
in the game. However, the illegal
substitution was an oversight, and
purely unintentional.
cts unfortunate, Tut nothing
can be done about it now. I'm
really sorry it happened"
Coach Nal Edward of Purdue,
questioned about the controversy
said: THAT game is over as far
as we are concerned. We are look
ing ahead to our games with Wis
consin, Iowa, Fordham, Minnesota
and Indiana"
While Schmidt accepted full,
blame for the occurrence, L. w.
st. John, Ohio's vetern director
Of athletics, placed part of the re-
sponsibilty on Mag and upon the
student manager who keeps a rec
ord of substitutions on the bench.
Mag should have said some
thing, as well as the student man.
ager," the athletic director said.
However, the illegal substitution
came in the last minute of the Sec
ond period when several h r
players were sent in, and I sup
pose no one noticed it."
w. D. knight of Rockford, ILL.,,
who as umpire was charged with
keeping a list of substitutes, was
absolved of all blame die to the
changes. The conference has been
following that procedure for sever
al years, lifting the burden from
the umpire.
In Chicago Maj. John L. Griffith
the Western conference commits
sioner of athletics, regarded the
entire controversy as a closed in,
cident.
eff Mag was illegally substitute
ed, the commissioner said, ut was
a mistake about which nothing can
be done because conference coach
es have agreed to assume respon-
sibility for the legality of substitu-
tons. If one of the coaches made a
mistake, it's too bad. The incident
is closed"
Mag, the pictures show, left the
game in the second period, and
went back in during the same
session. At the time Ohio was on
Purdue's three-yard line, with Al
seconds to 60, and Capt. Jim Lang
hurst scored on the next play.
Had the illegal substitution been
noted. Ohio would have been pen
allied to the 18-yard line, and Mag
ruled Ineligible for tn remainder
of the game. In the fourth per.d.
with 81 seconds to play, he booted
the field goal that won, Purdue
having made a great last-half
comeback to knot the count at A.
