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.

Hogs Knock Bears
Out of First, 49-47
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., Jan. 20
—(/P)—Four free throws by Gene
Lambert and one by Walter
Kearns in the last 40 seconds gave
Arkansas a 49-47 Southwest Con
ference basketball victory over
Baylor tonight.
The defeat knocked the Bears
out of a tie with Texas for the
conference lead and marked Ark
ansas’ second upset of a loop lead
er in three nights. The Razorbacks
beat Rice, then on top, Saturday.
Baylor was leading 47-44 and
freezing the ball with 40 seconds
left. Lambert stole the ball from
Tommy Strasburger. Trying to get
the ball back Strasburger fouled
Lambert. A technical foul also
was called against Strasburger.
Lambert made his two charity
tosses and Keai’ns, shooting the
technical, knotted the score.
A&M Third in Relays;
Ponies Clip I T Tankers
A&M placed third Saturday in

followed by Baylor with 18.
The Ponies, winning the relays
for the second consecutive year,
captured first places in three of
the six events—the 400-yard free
style, 400-yard breast stroke, and
400-yai - d backstroke.
A&M did not win any first

Bobby Brodnax of Texas, who
received his preliminary college
diving instruction and training at
A&M, led the Longhorn diving
team to first place. He scored SVz
points in this event.

With the Southwest Conference
basketball race more than a third
over, only Southern Methodist can
be counted out and even the Mus
tangs are apt to have a hand in de
ciding the eventual winner.
A&M, Arkansas, and Texas
Christian—on the ropes and just
about out last week — turned
around and promptly showed there
was not only hope but a lot of
life left.
The Aggies, sinking 44 per cent
of their floor shots, crushed Texas
51-42 Friday night.

the lineup to pace the Aggies with
13 points. His scoring mate, Don
Binford, dropped in 12. Bob John
son, who stripped the next with
some great set shots, was next
with 10 counters.
Arkansas’ 87-68 Ain over Rice
Saturday night left the Owls in
second place.- Baylor rebounded
from its 63-75 defeat by thumping
SMU 65-56. 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.

A new type motor oil for the new cars
Your new car needs this new type oil
Prevents ,, 4000-mile knock." 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.
