SPORTS BRIEFS
I.N" DETAIL'
By BOBBY T E R RE L L
The closing down of the baseball
season may have been a blow to
the face to Sylva sports fans on
cne hand, but on the other it rhay
have been a Godsend. With the
dread polip spreading throughout
the country it is better that large
crowds be avoided as much as pos
sible and closing down the ball
games is one way to help.
However, we will not be short
on sports news for our readers with
the Olympic games in progress,
several championship fights loom
ing soon, and- opening football
drills cnly a little better than a
week off. Coach Barnwell still
plans to open up on the 16th if
polio gets no worse, but his prac
tices may be held only for boys
over 16. Other towns in Western
North Carolina are opening up now
with limited ages out for drills.
It seems that Tom Young has

'ROM Atlantic .to Pacific, it's
simply terrific.
Not in a generation ? maybe not
in two ? has any single improve
ment in automobiles caused the
talk or met the instant approval
that has greeted this new drive.
Yo
ou see the reason in your first
five minutes behind a Dynaflow*
wheel.
You sense that this is not merely
an improvement on old ways,
but a whole new system of trans
ferring power from your engine
to the rear wheels. -
For the first time, oil does every
thing^ ? replaces the friction
clutch, eliminates the usual for
ward gears, even actuates the
mechanism by which you change
from Driving range to emer
gency Low and Reverse.
Y
ou feci the result in new
smoothness that's like riding a
mighty tide of flowing oil.
You move from standstill to
road speed in one smooth un
broken sweep of power, quick
and effortless in getaway and
instantly responsive at speed.
You stop by pressing the foot
brake ? go again by feeding gas.
Once you've set the sclcctor
lever, yon need not touch k again
in normal driving until you're
ready to park or back upu
O utside engineers look at
Dynaflow and say, "Now you've
got something!"
You'll say so too ? once you
handle a Buick Roadmaster with
this new driving magic.
Try it, first chance you get ? and
we think you'll want to see your
Buick dealer at once to get an
order in ? with or without a car
to trade.
