THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1953 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE Sports Afield . . . By TED KESTING More and more sportsmen are getting more and more interested in getting more and more speed from their boats. There is no magic formula that will make an outboard outfit go faster, but there are things that can be done to almost any of them. Our boats and motors editor, Willard Cran dall, says it can be done without the kind of motor souping up that would cause extra wear, or make it in any way poorer for fishing use. The first job when you’re after speed is to clean the motor thor oughly inside. Carbon and dirt never did anything but cut rpm’s Don’t neglect exhaust parts and muffler system. See the intake manifold—the path gas takes en tering the cylinders—is well smoothed off Remove all rough ness from casting imperfections. The motor should turn over as freely as possible. Gears with •worn teeth, or that mesh too tightly, or any ailing bearings can cause trouble. Compression should be good; check gaskets, replace piston rings if there is doubt about them. Balance, by filing, reciprocating parts such as pistons and connecting rods. Smooth up the lower unit. Do all this well and you’ll have in all ways a better motor. But go further and you will soon start taking some risk of inducing ex cessive wear, or cutting the use fulness of your outfit for fishing. The amateur’s greatest chance for increased speed with his fish ing outfit lies, of course, with the propeller. When you order a speed prop from the manufacturer, tell him all about your boat. Tell him all you know—not just length and beam. Then he can pick the best size for you. Tell him all about your motor too, of course, and just what weight will be aboard when you want to do your speeding, or want friends aboard for a speedboat ride—rather than super-speed when you’re by your self—you can get a propeller for that too—very likely a three- blade job. 4 One more point: raise your transom.

IHE following, under the heading, “Salute to Compe tition,” has appeared in a number of South Carolina Newspapers, but it will bear*, repeating: A businessman has a plaque on a wall above his desk which reads as follows: “Mv competitors do more for me than my friends do; my friends are too polite to point out iry weaknesses, but my com petitors go to great expense to advertise them. “My competitors are efficient, diligent and attaotive; they make me search for ways to im prove by products and services. “My competitors would take my business away from me, if they could; this keeps me alert to hold what I have. “If I had no competitors I would be lacy, imcompetent, in attentive; I need the discipline they enforce upon me. “I salute my competitors! they have been good to me. God bless them all!” Business competition takes many forms. Whatever the form, competition is the great est force for progress that exists. PRESIDE!

It’s at the wheel of a 1953 Buick with Twin-Turbine Dynaflow. And we suggest you hold on to your hat and your heart when the action starts—for here’s what happens: \bu press the pedal and, from a standing start, you’re up to a legal 30 mph before you have time to breathe but twice. Or, you’re in the thick of traffic — moving smoothly, easily, quietly. Then, when it’s safe to do so, you move instantly into the clear with the greatest of ease—in one progres sive build-up of velvet acceleration— without a single gear shifted or a clutch pedal pushed. That , sir, is the big thrill command you get in any 1953 Buick Special, Super or Roadmaster with new Twin-Turbine Dynaflow. For this fully automatic drive now has two turbines where one did the trick before. Two turbines for instant getaway response—with whisper quiet—and with infinite smoothness through all ranges. Of course, *a lot of able power goes with this smooth, quick getaway—the highest horsepowers and compres sion ratios, Series for Series, in all Buick history. And so does big room. And the supreme comfort of the BuickMillion Dollar Ride. And the superb han dling ease of finely balanced weight. Even Power Steering* is at hand to make parking and turning still easier. Why not drop in on us soon and sample one of these great new 1953 Buicks with TT Dynaflow? It’s an experience — and a value story — too good to miss. * Standard on Roadmaster, optional at extra cost on other Series.
