Hancock, one of the smoothest players to be seer, in action here this year, caged five field goals and three charity tosses for a total of 13 points.

He also shot one goal for Leon. Late in the third quarter he mixed goals and dropped in a perfect field goal for the Red and White.

The Lions, greatly weakened by the loss of Joe Davis Lowrie, star center, and John Sullivan, hefty standing guard, who are ill, were tossed for another setback when George Lewis, only member of last season's quintet on the squad, was forced from the game early in the second quarter on four personal fouls.

We say it with assurance because it has been the experience of so many millions of drivers that many months after your first ride you will still be saying "I'm glad I bought a Ford." The Ford Motor Company is not content with ordinary specifications for materials. Its own stand-ards of quality for many important parts are considerably higher than usually accepted standards. Ford valves are an example of this extra value. They are made of a nickel-chrome alloy-steel that contains 13 chromium, 13 nickel and 2 silicon. This unusually high alloy content increases resistance to heat insures more efficient, economical performance and longer life.

Intake valves, as well as exhaust valves, are made of this more expensive steel in the Ford V- 8. It is one of several good reasons why the Ford engine is singularly free of valve troubles. It costs us more to build a car like this yet the price of the Ford V-8 remains low. Ford manufac-turing methods save many dollars for Ford owners and bring fine-car quality within the reach of every one who drives. Washington.
