UMPIRE DEFENDS DISPUTED RULING Southern California Captain Says His Team Was Robbed Os Victory Chicago, Nov. (VP)—John C. hammer, umpire in the Notre DameSouthern Californio foo*J>all’ game last Saturday, defence,! himself today against charges of having cost U. S. C. the game through an error. , The charges were made by Captain I Morley Drury of U. S. C., in a cam-: pus speech at Los Angeles last night j in which he said the team “had traveled a long distance to be roblted of victory.” He later explained he meant “robbed" by the breaks of the game and not by any official. The controversy centered around a U. S. C. forward pass which Riley’ of Notre Dame knocked down. There was some question as to whether It was an intercepted or an incomplete pass. The ball went out of bounds behind Notre Dame’s goal line. Schommer ruled the pass was incomplete, not intercepted, and therefore ruled the play a scoreless touchback instead of a safety which would have given U, S. C. two points ami victory. Schommer's statement follows: "RHey intercepted the pass in question, reversing in th' 1 air, and v, as facing his goal line when he landed on his feet. He took several steps toward his goal and was struck by several U. S. C. players on about the four yard line. The ball shot, forward, struck between the goal line end the end line ami rolled across the end line, where a California paver fell on it. "I overruled cries that Riley was tackled in the end zone and that it was a touchdown, because I was cer- i tain Riley had been tackled on the 3 or 4 yard line and that It was either a safety or a tom hback. “I called ths < .pt-dns and the field judge for agre, :nc: t on the facts. Notre Danu-s rnp tin dissented and tills I overruled. "When Riley caught the ball he was facing his goal and I could not tee the ball. If Notre Dame had possession and control of the ball, then Riley gave the impetus that sent it across the goal line. (This would I ave made it a safety). If he did not Lave possession and control then it was a touch back. "I asked the field judge, who was facing the play, and he said ‘No possession ami control'. I then gave the ruling of touchback.” Los Angelos, Cal.. Nov. .30—(UP)— Captain Morley Drury today slightly tempered his declaration that the University of Southern California bad been “robbed” of a football victory over Notre Dame last Saturday at Chic; "I Ind no intention of questioning the nte-ritv of any official," Drury said t' d.ay. merely wanted to point °”t ' a r. ble mistake had robbed u. ’ ’ wel -eared victory. “I vies; though that a decision like that is a 'break' in the game.” COAL!

dianapolis Star, concerning the prospect! of football men at Ink dlana University making the varI sit) basketball team, the following appeared: "Branch McCracken, of ■ Monrovia, is expected to be one of the grid men who can earn a place on the varsity. McCracken was a high school star under Herb Curtis and came to Indiana well versed in Everett Dean's Style of court I pi«y." "Bluffton is another county seat r team, by no means weak, which is dub ions about winning its sectional tour nauient this season. Ossian and Pet roleuni, according to dope given to us are the strongest teams In Wells conn f ty while Union Center. Iji'ncaster anil '■ Rock Creek are said to Im every bit ♦ as good as Bluffton’s Tigers. Since the )' situatk'ii hereabouts is very slmiiat >' we exchange sympathies witli ‘hi I’ Bluffton scribes— Fan Whiffs, in th» Huntington Herald. 1 The Central eighth grade team of this city will make its 1927-28 debut Friday night, when it meets the Geneva eighth graders in the 1 D. H. S. gym. The game will start at 6:30 o'clock, in order to be over before the Decatur-Garrett high school games. Coach Bryce Tho--1 mas has been working the Central eagers hard in preparation for their opening tilt. I : The manager of the G. E. team today asked us to thank the high I school pupils for the splendid manner in which they turned out and yelled for the Electricians in their game with the Kirkland Whippets last night. He said he and the members of the team greatly appreciated the support. o Man And Car Both Kicked Him, Boy Says Indianapolis, Nov. 30. —(INS) — lames Thurman, negro, was arrested (ere and charged with assault and battery, alleged to have forced Aaron Bray, negro, 13, to crank his “flivver” According to the charges, the car backfired, breaking the boy's arm. The boy testified Thurman kicked him and forced him to crank his Ford truck. o — SPECIFICATIONS ARE ANNOUNCED New Ford Far Advanced In Performance, Appearance And Mechanical Features After six months of “saying nothing but sawing wood,” Henry Ford today announced the specifications of the new Ford car which succeeds the famous Model “T". A bare listing of those specifications presents a picture of an automobile that in performance appearance and mechanical features has heretofore been associated witli a considerably higher price class. Unusual speed and acceleration are among the outstanding features of he new car. It is announced as bong able to make 55 to 60 miles an hour, with ease. In recent tests it : has made even more without difficulty. What is more important, it is I stated that when traveling at such ipeeds, it holds the road easily, and with comfort to driver and passeng- | ers It is also stated with equal positiveness however, that it per-

forms in an equally Hputacular manner on bad roads. In its design, Mr. Ford has held to his original idea of a car which can meet, all conditions ai d types of ronds. Appreciating the constantly Increasing Impertanee of acceleration, the Ford Motor Company has given a great deal of study to this feature of the new car. In high gear tests with two passengers in a Tudor sedan it has shown an acceleration of from 5 to 25 miles an hour In 8% seconds. The new For.', car also introduces ’’ a new type of four-wheel brakes. An ' exclusive Fotd development, they are of the mechanical, shoe-expanding *' type, and are sv f-centerfng. The brake pedal and the-hand brake each operates all four brakes. It Is stated 1 that this Is tho most reliable and ' s niplest type of four-wheel brake. 1 nnd also the easiest to adjust, all ad--1 JUKtmenls lieing mad' from the out- “ side without removing any parts. An engine that is practically vibrationless develops 40 horse-power' at 2,200 revolutions per minute This low revolution speed in ratio to the high horsepower is illustrative of the unusual efficiency of the engine. Also, It means longer life, the lower engine speed injuring loss wear on engine parts. The lower revolution speed is also a substantial factor in 'essening vibration. The bore is 3% inches, stroke 4L inches. The unusually large crankshaft which Is Doth statically and dynamically bala anced. weighs 28 pounds. This bali ancing. combined with the lightness r of a'uminum alloy pistons, further 1 c< mbine to reduce vibration and lull crease riding and driving comfort e and safety. i In addition to freedom from vibration, it is announced that the car is ( unusually quiet, a great deal of attention having been paid to this feature by the Ford - engineers. tn‘ ' the engine, the timing gears are made of hakelized fabric, which is ■ much quitter than metal. The cams I on the camshaft have been so design- • ed as to prevent valve clicking. 1 The coachwork of the car is as distinctive as its performance. There is a noticeable European touch in line and contour. It is not only designed I for exterior beauty, but has as well 1 the interior roominess, convenience and luxurious appointments to bo found in much higher priced automobiles. On an instrument board of satin-finished nickel are mounted the speedometer, gasoline gauge, ammeter and ignition lock, with a dashlight in the center. The new military-j I type sun visor, with crown loof ami round corners, are features of the closed models. Unusually narrow pillar. and very Wide doors and windows give maxi; . >n. N led radiator shell and headlamps further accentuate t.be exteriorl attractiveness, while choices of four colors in, pyroxylin finish are offered. Simplicity in design has also boon carried to the ignition. There Is only| one coil, in a waterproof case. There . are no vibrators to adjust, and no ex-I

posed cables to work loose or short ii.-eult water. The distributor is located in n readily accessible position on top of the engine. Centrifugal water punip. large radiator nnd airplane propeller-type fan provide a tooling system which makes the cur very difficult to overheat. except from abuse, such as running without, enough oil, or <lry radiator. From 20 to 30 miles to a gallon of gasoline, depending upon driving tpeed, is the gasoline consumption announced. Feed to carburetor is by gravity. The oiling system, also a distinctive Ford design, is a combination of pump, splash and gravity feed. The new transmit ion l.i of the selective illdli.g gear type, with standard shift, three speeds forward and one reverse. The main shaft runs on ball bearings, the counter-shaft on roller bearings and .no rt verse idler on bronze bearings, a power saving design unu u:’l on light ears. Shifting >f gears is noiselessly and easily accomplished, at the pressure of a finger. Multiple dry-disc clutch, rear axle or tlnee-quarter floating type housed ! n electrically welded steel, and spiril lievel gear drive ar.r interesting features. The axle shafts carry none of the weight of the car, the wheels running on roller bearings on the housing Newly developed springs of the transverse semi-elliptic type nnd hydraulic shock-absorbers prevent excessive up-and-down movement and remove side sway. Irrcversib'e steering gear, which prevents shocks from being transmitted back, to the hands of the driver, makes handling exceptionally easy'. Maximum steering safety is further , provided by a gear housing of welded i
