Illinois Knows.
Illinois remembers this game, aid
it is with some doub's that they will
enter the game Saturday. An Ill-
scout saw the game with Phillips last
week, and went back with the word
that Oklahoma had a team that Illinois
would do well to watch every minute
of the game. The coach there, and
the players too, know that the Sooners
will come prepared to deliver every
county.

The car is larger and roomier, for one thing the
wheel base has been increased six inches.
It is also a stronger and more rigid machine for
the road.
The frame is now six inches, instead of three
inches deep.
And the body rests directly on this powerful
frame, instead of on brackets extending from
the sides, as in the past.
Do you know what that means?
It means this: The firmness with which the
wheels grip the road and the steadiness of the
car at high speed give you a sense of security
such as you have been able to enjoy before only
in cars shackled with a battery of shock ab-
sorbers.
This New Car is 50 Pounds
Lighter
There's n marvel of engineering for you, friends'
The car is made binger and stronger anJ yet
actually lighter.
This means greater ease and comfort on the road.
More than that it means greater economy.
And the Maxwell before was the most economical
5-passenger car in the world.
Compensating underslung rear springs the last
word in spring suspension mark this wonder-
ful Maxwell of 1918.
They mean greater comfort- greater economy, by
lessening wear and tear on the car.
Maxwell Now Has the Style of
the Costliest Cars
The new Maxwell is a car of great beauty.
It has a sloped windshield and rakish lines never
before produced in any car costing less (ban
$1200.
Its good looks now equal its proved mechanical
efficiency.
The new upholstery is richer and gives a new
comfort.
