CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEMBERS HOLD ANNUAL BONSPIEL SPORT FROM BRITAIN Proiessional By JIM CONWAY LONDON (CP) -- Profes- sional rugby, a sport born in Britain less than 75 years ago, is in danger of dying out, de- spite its popularity in other countries. Rugby League, the profes- siona] off-shoot of the unshak- ably amateur Rugby is at a low ebb of popularity in its homeland the industrial north of England. Ticket receipts are falling and all but two or three of the 30 clubs would be losing money were it not for such lucrative sidelines as lotteries and foot- ball pools. Rugby League started 70 years ago in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, when Rugby Union legislators in the north and south fisagreed vehemently on the status of players. The London management com- mittee staunchly defended the ""Rugger Is Slipping In England counties claimed that their players were working men and couldn't afford to pay their own expenses and certainly could net afford to travel around the country playing Union teams in the rest of England as well as Scotland and Wales. They asked for permission to form a northern league competi- tion. They also wanted to insti- tute a system of wage compen- satior for "broken time' when playing during working hours. RULES ALTERED When neither was granted, the rebel teams left the main well as from the Commonwealth and Rugby Union have bolstered League football, i Still tras iost much of its. popularity. - - Today-there are only 30 pro- fessional teams, just. 16 more than when it started in 1895. Televising games has proved a bone of contention among ri- val clubs. Some advocates of broadcasting say that fees help to fill the hollow coffers and may attract more people to watch games. Others insist that crowds are staying home to watch the matches in comfort and broadcast revenue will not eventually replace the drop in gate receipts, To the hard-core of league supporters the answer is a strict tightening of rules and firm en- forcement. Rugby League has come in for a lot of bad pub- licity because of rough play since the war and fans are wor- ried that, to many people, the rugby body and formed the Northern Rugby Union. Gradu- ally the "pros" adapted some| of the old rules to change the pace of the game. Other countries -- including Australia New Zealand South Africa, France and some of the small islands in the Pacific-- took up the revised sport. It offi- thugs. | Remember When... ?

Williams, a noted fisherman and a part-time golfer in recent years, emphasized the rigors on the road to baseball stardom Thursday after his landslide election to the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y. Williams, who retired in 1960 with a .344 lifetime average and 521 homers in 19 seasons with-Boston Red.Sox, polled = record 282 votes, 93.8 per eent of the total,-in balloting by 1 vear members of the Basehall Writers Association of Amer- ica. .

Red Ruffing, who won 278 games in 22 years with the Red Sox, New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox, suffered a second straight disappointment. Runner-up to Luke Appling in a runoff election in 1964, Ruff- ing received 208 votes, 18 shy of the 75 per cent required for election.

People are buying Buicks at a record rate this year. What's behind the switch to Buick? What's the tuned car all about? If you were going to build a car, you'd start with four absolutely necessary building blocks: perform- ance, styling, ride and handling. If you were going to build a Buick, you'd start there, too, But you wouldn't stop there. You'd test and refine and blend until they were all tuned to work together. Your own favorite mechanic already gives you an idea of what the tuned car is all about when he tunes your car's engine. You know how smoothly and efficient- ly that engine runs? That's how a Buick runs. Not just the engine. The whole Buick. And that's what tuning is. Two years of punishment. We tune our Buicks in the laboratory. And on the road. We use our Proving Grounds. (As other car makers usé theirs.) But we also use parkways and freeways and country Janes and mountain chutes-- the tuned-car is tuned to behave well on all kinds of roads; roads you'll actually be using. If you bought a new Buick and then, just for fun, gave it back toy. us to run it through all that testing again, can you ¥\ guess when you would get it back? In about two years. The test run. Before final assembly, every. Buick engine is test run to be sure it's properly tuned and to provide WILDCAT A GENERAL MOTORS VALUE for controlled initial break-in. If there's the tiniest fault, back it goes. Brr. You think you've got a tough job? We have a man stationed up north where in winter the thermometer can drop to thirty below. He's charged with climb- ing out of bed in the dark of eold mornings, going out to a new Buick which has been left out all night, and starting it. A car that will start fast enough to please him will please anybody. The Inspector. There are about 1250 people working in our engine plant. 180 of them-are inspectors, which works out to one inspector for every 5.9 production people. The average engine is looked at, in component or assembled form, by 170> different inspectors. An inspector's word is law. If something isn't right, hack it goes. Sometimes this makes our production people unhappy. But it also makes the product good and you happy. Frothing at the shocks. When it gets hot outside, the oil inside the shock absorbers tends to become aerated. Or, to put it another way,.it froths. Which makes it hard forthe shocks to do much absorbing. Inside every LeSabre, Wildcat, Electra 225 and Riviera shock absorber is a piece of baffle tubing that puts a stop to this kind of nonsense. It costs a little extra money to do this. But if you've ever ridden in one of these new Buicks, you'll know why we think it's worth it. Close. No matter how hard you try, you can't practically make pistons to more than 3/10,000 of an inch tolerance. The same goes for cylinders, into which the pistons fit. So we use an ingenious machine that measures pistons and cylinders by air. And then we fit piston to cylinder individually. The "master" engines. We not only balance all the engine parts separately, the way everybody else does, but we also balance the final assembly as well. We have machines for this. But, being Buick,.we also have perfectly balanced "master" engines that check the machines that check the engine that you end up with. And then there are those inspectors... Safety.

Affordable. A good many people have been brought up to be- . lieve that a Buick is some kind of a pinnacle, to be touched only after the kids ape tucked away in careers of their own and you'vé Got It Made. Well, a Buick is a pinnacle, all right, but it's not nearly that hard to attain. In fact, many people who buy new cars are already paying the price of a Buick. And if you're going to pay the price of a Buick, you might as well get a Buick. North America has spoken. Sending a brand-new car out into the world is a ticklish business at best. Even when you're abso- lutely positively sure you've got a winner, there's always that little niggling doubt. So we must report that the tuned car has been a rousing success, even more rousing, in fact, than we had allowed ourselves to hope. And we shall, by working very hard, keep supplying our dealers with Buicks, so that they, in turn; can keep supplying you with Buicks: Wouldn't you really rather own a Buick?
