Six-Cylinder Lino Affords
Higher Speed and Bet
ter Performance
Graham Brothers, a division of
Dodge Jlrothers, Inc., announces
the introdiic'llon of a new line of
six-eyllnder motor coaches. High
er speed and generally Improved
performance are nald to result
from several new features.
These include a powerful new,
eix-cylinder engine, four-wheel
Ixckbeeahydraullc - brakes, four
4 peed transmission and ballbear
ing cam and lever steering.
. Improved riding comfort re
sults from a better distribution of
weigBt' a'3.jlvell.la3 adoption of
three Mtage. progressive type rear
sprincBristruction and advances
In seat. design.
Thenew six-cylinder line takes
the place of the four-cylinder mo
tor roaches with - which Graham
Brothers attained a leading posi
tion Jn the industry during the
past seven years.
It comprises the 21-passenger
street car type motor coach, prob
ably the most popular size how in
use. the 16-passenger de-luxe par
ior coach and the de-luxe club
loach seating 12 passengers.
HiKh road speeds are possible
In the new coaches with safety
and comfort for passengers and
without strain to the mechanism,
it i claimed.
These speeds are attainable with
relatively moderate engine speeds
since the four-speed transmission
gives adequate gear reduction for
heavy srrades. bad roads and em
ergencies and permits the use of
faster rear axle ratios. Such a
combination directly results in
greater economv.
The high speed and fast accel
eration available from the slx-cyl-Inder
power plant is rendered safe
by heavy-duty four-wheel I.ofV
heed hydraulic brakes. These hy
draulic brakes have the odvaniie"
- of automatic equalization which
largely eliminates the necessity
of mating even the simple me
chanical adjustment provided for
each individual brake and also
does away with the use of brake
rod and other moving parts r
qulrng attention and frequent lu
brication. They are an assurance to the
driver that he can stop as quickly
as or more quickly than the ve
hicle ahead and thus high sched
uled speeds can b maintained
with safety. The large and posi
tive mechanical brak j on the drive
shaft operated with a hand lever
is entirely separate from .the ser
vice brake sysmv , ' f.
As boiVes and chassis, are built
entirely in Craham Brothers own
plants he- confplete coaches have
been designed and built as units.
This makes possible important
engineering advantages, particul
arly correct weight distribution
and elimination of excess weight
it Is claimed. v V .
. A larger proportion of t the
weight I4 .carried over the front
axie man ts usual, resulting in a
relatively short wheelbase. and
the body location on the chass's
is such that rear overhang i ; re
duced to a minimum. The 162"
wheelbase alIows easy handling
even In densest city traffic.
The engine, of the L-head type
with a bore of 3 1-4" and a stroke
of 4 1-2" is clean cut and accessi
ble in design. The crankshaft is
exceptionally rugged, weighing 89
pounds, and has seven main bear
fngs with a total main bearine
length of 11 Inches and bearijr
areas far greater than on other en
gines of comparable size. Free
dom from torsional vlbrat'on. due
to its rigidity, results in smooth
running at all speeds. -
A large hot-spot manifold and
unique , combustion chamber de
sign result in fast acceleration
and at the same time provide for
a very economical use of fuel. Au
tomatic Fnark advance is prov'ded
for better engine efficiency, re
lieving th driver'of the necessi
ty for manual adjustment.

Morley Drury One of Few
Veterans Returning from
Champion 1926 Team
LOS ANGELES With the op
ening of the 1927 football season,
followers of the great American in-
ercollegiate sport have turned to
'doping" out the prospects of the
various teams that will represent
the Pacific coast conference col
leges.
The greatest enigma is the Uni
versity of Southern California. For
two years Coach Howard Jones has
had a football machine at the Los
Angeles university that has ranked
wth the best in the country. Last
year the Trojans missed the na
tional championship by two points
and the- team was one of the most
spectacular in -the United States.
But this year Coach Jones has to
build an -entirely new organization.
Sixteen of the stars of thO U. S.
C. football squad of 1926 finished
their college courses last June,
leaving but a small group of vet
erans with which Howard Jones
must develop a team to meet the
toughest schedule that the Tro

Morley. Drury. captain of the'
Trojans this season, is Jones'
brightest star. Capt. Drury was
out practically all last season al
though he got back into shape
just in time to play a part of
the Notre Dame game. This is
Drury's last year of college foot
ball and he is expected to make
up for the time he lost last fall.
During the summer Drury
worked for a local motion pic
ture studio, doing hard work that
kept him in excellent physical con
dition. During the vacation he
kept in touch with the team mem
bers, making trips about Los An
celes and to the outside cities in
his Star convertible cabriolet, one
of the outstanding models of the
St.'ir line and a car that is very
poDuiar with the students of the
Tniversity of Southern California
tho choice of several of the Star
Trojnn athletes.
In addition to Drury. Coach
lones has Don Williams, the
Voungster who. as a sophomore,
emished h:s way through the
JVotre Dame tf5m last fall and
made a touchdown after carrying
the ball more than half the dis
tance of the field in a series of
plunges that established him as
one of the , greatest.'ba'll carriers
ever seen in the entire country.
Williams is a quarterback.

Elliot is expected to come Into his
own as the brilliant star of the
Trojan back field.
Jess Hibbs is the only star
Jones has left over from bis 1926
line. Hibbs played tackle last year
and he was one of the best tack
les on the Pacific coast.
This quartette, three backs and
a line man, would gladden the
heart of any football coach in
the country; but the rest of the
squad will have to be developed
and Jones has a lot of gaps to
fill. When such stars as Crav

Hadgero. Dorsey, Baer and others
of euqal -ability leave college in
i hody throug"h graduation, there
is a tough job ahead of the coach.

balPcoach and he will undoubted

this season; but the best the Tro
jan rooters can hope for is a place

unless Jones can develop a string

tfroup of candidates who came up
from la3t year's freshman squad.

POLAi CLUB CUP
BY
cun
Trdpliy for Wljich Many
Have Tried and Failed, '
Finally Captured ',
In the collection of trophies
which have been won in Kurope
by Chrysler cars, one of the unus
ual appropriateness ha. recently
been added in Poland, according
to advices Just received by the
Fitzgerald-Sherwin Motor Co.
The trophy, which is a fine ex
ample of artistic modeling repre
sents a bison, the animal familiar
to Americans as the buffalo, which
within the memory of many still
living roamed the western plains
of this continent in herds number
ing millions.
For 1 5, years, the Automobile
Club of Poland has offered this
trophy to any team of three cars
which could finish its six-day re
liability run without incurring
penalties or "black marks," but
until this year none of the compet
ing automobiles have been able to
comply with the difficult condi
ditions. It remained for three
Chrysler "70V to lift the prize
so intimately associated with
American backgrounds, in a com
petition which included teams of
11 well known European and
American makes.
Curiosity has often been aroused
by the offer of a statuette which
seemed so incongrous with Euro
pean matters. Students of natur
al history explain, however, that
the bison, now- associated exclu
sively with America, was one a
common in Europe as until half a
century ago it was in our own
west. The fate of the species was
the same in both continents, al
though extinction by advancing
civilization was mdnh later and
far more rapid on this side of the
Atlantic.
Caesar mentions the bison as
equally extinct auroch. or wild ox.
in the forests of Germany and
Belgium. Even as late as the mid
dle ages if was still a familiar
sight farther east in Europe and
it is still found in a wild state in
the-Cnucaous although its apir
ance is very rare. A few rds
are also kept in captivity in Lithu
ania and other northern countries,
but these are small and are stead
ily dwindling.
The Automobile Club of Poland
used the bison as a symbol of
strength and endurance, which are

the qualities associated with the

considered tfcafjhe same qualities
were indispensable to any car
