Mercury dealers, on an average, now sell more cars per
dealer than’any of their competition. We are in a better
position to give you a bigger allowance for your present car.
And Mercury’s ever mounting popularity tends to boost
trade-in value even hig er. A Mercury’s true cost (original
price minus future resale value) is now lower than any
other car in its field.
So why not start saving—and enjoying the extra value
that Mercury offers: like years-ahead styling, proven V-8
performance and economy, and the widest choice of
optional power features available on any popular-priced
car. Cash in on this money-saving opportunity!

based his observation on what
his team did against California
Saturday.
His regulars played 50 minutes
or more. Francis Davidson, the
• quarterback who had such a
great day offensively, was in
there 59%2 minutes. He starred
on defense, too. Baylor, under
his expert guidance, beat Cali-
fornia 25-0.

tor the boys," Sauer declared.
They will play all the time and
won’t be getting cold sitting on
the bench. There’s danger then of
injury, probably as much as the
boy being tired.”
But, Sauer added, the boys
didn’t get tired. "In the first
place, we had them all in top
condition," he explained. "The
only injury was to tackle Bob
Knowles, who hurt his knee .But
it wasn’t because he was tired.
It happened just after the second
half started.”
The Baylor coach said the
coaches and boys had grown soft
in the past five years and didn’t
think a player could go 60 min-
utes. “They can if they are con-
ditioned properly,” Sauer said.
“That’s the main thing a coach
must do."
In the first place, Baylor need-
ed to have its starters in all the
time because the reserves are not
strong enough. “We have only
19 boys who can play top foot-
ball,” Sauer declared. “We hope
to develop a good second team
in a few weeks but the way my
regulars played against California
there won’t be any big need un-
less we get some crippling in-
juries.”
His regular backfield of David-
son, Jerry Coody, Allen Jones
and L. G. Dupre played 50 min-
utes or more and were as good
on defense as offense, Sauer said.

Big State Play
« WICHITA FALLS (P)—Wichi-
ta Falls today had its first Big
State League playoff champion
in seven years of play in the
Class B circuit. A 3-2 victory over
Tyler last night wrapped up the
final playoff series, four games
• to three.
Jim Vitter went all the way on
the mound for the Spudders,
spacing nine hits.
Tyler got a run in the first inn-
ing on Irv Carlson’s single, Vit-
ter’s error and a force out. It
added another tally in the ninth,
off singles by Bill Golibart and
Carlson and an error.
Wichita Falls picked up a run
in the first when Fred Shipman
singled and Perry Roberts
doubled. The Spudders got an-
other tally in the second off
singles by Vitter and Dave Hall
and a wild pitch by Sal Frederico.
The winning run came in the
fifth inning. An error by Carlson
allowed Jim Warner, who had
singled, to score.
