But when he tried for one more inch higher, the meet record, he hurt an ankle and holds his head in pain as an attendant makes ready to hustle him to a dressing room. (AP Wirephoto) Willie Zapalac Named Fish Coach at a&m Every body Willie Zapalac, star football player at A&M in the golden era—1939-41—has been nam ed freshman football coach at A&M. He succeeds Cooper Robbins, who resigned to accept a position as head coach of Odessa High School. Head Coach Ray George of A&M announced that no replacement will be made for Line Coach Paul McMurtry who resigned last month to return to his farm in Rio Hondo. George, former line coach at Southern California will probably handle the Aggie line. Zapalac played for A&M under Coach Homer Norton when the Aggies went to three consecutive bowls—the Cotton twice and the Sugar once. He currently is head coach of Arlington State College where his 1952 team had a record of eight games won, one lost and one tied.

Texas retained a share of first place on its 62-57 win over Arkansas. Any Favorite You can take your choice for «a favorite now. Arkansas was the preseason choice but after the Razorbacks dropped their first two league games, Rice took over as most likely to succeed. Now Texas and Baylor—the two figured for deep second division, still are sur prising everybody by their per formance. A&M, an in-and-out club that can be great one night and dismal the next, and Texas Christian may hold the key to the throneroom. They’x-e capable of knocking off anybody in the circuit. Baylor’s John Starkey continued to set a torrid pace in conference scoring, boasting 95 points for three games. This gives him a big majority over second-place Gene Schwinger of Rice, with 55. Schwinger still tops season scor ing, 218 points to 197 for Starkey. Texas’ George Scaling has scored 55 in conference games.

Many 1952 and practically all the 1953 automobiles have high compression engines. You’ve heard about these fine new engines. You know, for example, that they require gasoline with extra anti-knock performance ... a gasoline like Humble Esso Extra. Now, Detroit’s automotive engineers have discovered that high compression engines need an entirely new type of motor oil. With conventional oils in the crankcase, the new engines have a tendency to ping, or knock, after four to eight thousand miles of driving. This "4000-mile knock” is caused by combustion cham ber deposits; these increase the compression ratio to a point where no commercial gasoline will give you anti-knock performance. Humble Esso Uniflo, an entirely new type motor oil, prevents the formation of deposits that cause "4000-mtle knock” in high compression engines if you begin to use it regularly in the first 1000 miles of driving. Protects against friction wear and acid corrosion. Second, the engineers discovered that friction is the chief cause of wear in automobile engines. Moving parts in the new engines are so carefully machined that they fit very closely. This gives you much better performance from your car, but it also requires superior lubrication. Heavy oils and oils that "thicken” in cold weather don’t flow readily between such closely fitting parts. The result is excessive wear from friction, and expensive engine overhauls ... To minimize friction wear . . . again you need Humble’s new Esso Uniflo Motor Oil. Esso Uniflo has such an amazingly high viscosity index that it gives you the quick-flowing characteristics of an SAE 5W oil at 25° below zero Fahrenheit, and the tough, full body of an SAE 20 oil at 110° Fahrenheit. Furthermore, the additives in Esso Uniflo are anti-acid ■—this new type oil cuts acid corrosion as much as 50%. You Need Only One Grade of Humbls Esso Uniflo. You use it year ’round. Esso Uniflo meets all the speci fications for SAE viscosity classifications 5W, 10W, 20W and 20. It is a heavy duty, detergent oil, recom mended for API service classifications ML (light duty), MM (medium duty), MS (severe duty) and DG (gen eral diesel duty). Its viscosity index is amazingly high. Premium Value-Premium Price Humble Esso Uniflo costs something more than most motor oils. But you’ll agree that the small extra cost— less than one-tenth of a cent for each mile of driving—• is cheap insurance against "4000-mile knock,” friction wear, and acid corrosion! A Word to Owners of Older Automobiles If you use an oil meeting SAE viscosity classifications up to 20—you will find it profitable to change to Humble’s new type Esso Uniflo. It will protect your car against friction wear and acid corrosion; reduce starting drag and extend battery life. If your engine has just been rebuilt—change to Esso Uniflo. It will prevent the deposits causing "4000-mile knock”; it will protect against wear from friction and corrosion, reduce starting drag and extend battery life. If you use SAE 30 or SAE 40 oil—Humble continues to recommend Esso, Extra Motor Oil No. 3, a high quality, heavy duty, detergent oil with a viscosity index second only to that of Esso Uniflo.
