Draw Criticism
San Francisco (U.PJ Bill
Coffman, managing director of
the Shrine East-West same, re-
. minded his critics yesterday that
'the same is a contest between
two teams of all-stars, not an exhibition.
Coffman was replying to criti
cism from some sports writers
- and fans that San Jose State
suard Tom Louderback and
Chico State end George Maderos
had been used for only a few
seconds in the game.
There was also criticism that
Colorado back Carroll Hardy
was not exploited until the last
quarter " ; ' " '
Takes Issue
I Coffman took issue with state
ments that the East-West game
is only an exhibition and . that
all participants .should be al
lowed to play. .
He pointed out that , all-star
games patterned after the Shrine
game were played over the holi
days in Alabama and Florida
after "only four or five days of
practice."
: "The East-West teams prac
ticed a full week longer," he
said- "to insure the fact that
they would go on the field in
excellent physical condition and
well versed in the plays and
formation that make such games
a real contest instead of merely
.an exhibition.'

Huskers Rapped
For Performance
In Orange Bowl
Lincoln, Neb. U.R). The
University of Nebraska football
team has been criticized by- two
home state sports editors for
making a poor Orange Bowl
showing against Duke because of
a poor attitude toward train
ing. .
Don - Bryant of the Lincoln
Star and Dick Becker of the Lin
coln Journal took the Nebraska
team to task yesterday for being
too interested in having a good
time at Miami and ignoring the
training rules.
. Kussrow, schedule committee
chairman of the Orange Bowl,
said at Miami, "If true, it would
not have been fair to us, and we
certainly would want to look
into it." : ; ; I I
Bryant wrote that "Nebraska
could have ; won against Duke,
or at least looked like a football
team." But the players, most of
them, ".were .more interested in
the after-game party than they
were in playing Duke." -
Becker accused the players of
becoming "cocky and indiffer
ent" because they received back
ing from university officials in
a player revolt against Coach
Bill Glassford a year ago.
..""The ' main . problem was
breaking of - training' ' rules,"
Becker said. -

'VERSION-LEVEL' RIDE NEW The 1955.
Packard and Clipper automobiles, , to be
shown in Medford later this month, feature
a "torsion-level" ride shown in the picture
above. The new suspension system eliminates
the customary coil springs . in front and leaf
springs in the rear, and is claimed to provide
the greatest riding comfort and best driving
control ever attained in modern motor cars.
A long steel torsion bar runs on each side of
the chassis frame, connecting front and rear
"wheels. The bar behaves as a spring when it
' is twisted at one end or the other, and is com
bined withT a "load levelizer" or compensa-.
tor to assure constant car riding level for
any kind of load.

New Packards Due
Here January 17;
New Ride Featured
The 1955 Packard automo
biles will go on display at Cook
sey Motor company, 134 South
Riverside ave., the week of Jan.
17, it was announced today. ,
Orbm Cooksey, of the com
pany, said-the Packards and
Clippers for 1955 are all new,
that they offer a revolutionary
new kind of safe and comfort
able ride, top-performing ' new
V-8 engines, a new transmission,
new styling, and more than 100
over major advancements.
They are available in a wide
selection of body styles and color
combinations.
Torsion-Level Ride
A new torsion-level ride, re
placing conventional front and
rear spring suspension, is stand
ard on all Packard models and
on the Clipper custom models. It
provides a constant flat, level
ride; adequate load-carrying ca
pacity, constant riding height,
and greater stability This re
sults in greater safety in many
ways, Packard men point out;
for example in the steady beam
o headlights at -night, rather
than a wavering beam when the
car moves up or down, or cants
to one side. '.' " ,
The new engines, . combined
with, twin-ultramatic transmis
sion, provide maximum get
away performance . and ;.safe
passing ability, at all speeds. The
engines are road-proven, and a
Packard recently completed at
25,000-mile endurance run, aver
aging more than 104 miles per
hour, Including stops.
Retain Resemblance
While a "family resemblance"
in styling has been retained,
Packard ' and Clipper models
have different styling concepts.
Both feature sweeparound wind
shields, and others modern
features.
Tubeless tires are standard on
all cars. Optional features In
clude ; power steering, , power
brakes and - power seat adjust
ment. "
