MAY SUCCEED DWELL
Impression Prevails That Earle "Grcasy" Nealc Will Be the Newt Football Mentor at Columbia.

Washington, Pa, Dec. 2s.-Greasy Neale will succeed Buck O'Neill as the head football coach at Columbia university, is the belief entertained by local admirers of the former Wash |ington and Jefferson mentor. The be- lief is founded on Columbia's con tinued interest in the man who had so much success with the presidents and intimations given by represen- tative of the New York institution who paid quiet visit to Washington last week.
 The Columbia man, it was learned came here supposedly to get first hand regarding Neale and his methods from local folk conversant with conditions at Washington and Jefferson. He refused to state to what extent the negotiations had reached However, he did intimate. 1t is learned, that not few of the Co., lumbia authorities are ready to ac- cept Neale's signature to a contract,
 While the guessing on Neale's next berth continues here Washington and Jefferson is wrestling with coaching problem of her own. w. and J. must secure a man to succeed Neale and all sorts of rumors are in the air. One of these was spiked when it was an nounced that Albert Exendine, former Carlisle star and until a few weeks ago coach at Georgetown university was not candidate for the job and hence was not being considered. It was also established though that John Heisman, retiring coach at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, has been in conference with local authorities.
 Heisman was here Saturday and had a talk regarding the coaching vacancy. Graduate Manager Robert M. Murphy admitted Heismans visit but he stated that no decision had been reached. He added that no def mite announcement regarding the Washington and Jefferson situation could be made for some time.

ACCIDENTS ON STATE
:. trunk HIGHWAYS

The Wisconsin Highway CoEnmis-
sion's accident reports for May show
that as accidents occurred on the Stata
Trunk Highways during the month.
These accidents resulted in fataii-
ties; 10 serious injuries; and 81 slight
" injured.
This report covers only accidents
that occurred on State Trunk High
ways outside of cities. The accidents
are reported by the patrolmen. There
may have been a few cases where ac--
eidents occurred when the patrOlmen
We're off duty and the above is prob
ably not complete record of all ac-
cidents. sxs~tNMH
The figures show that in 61qo %
the cases the accidents were caused by
careless or reckless driving and speed
ing. In the remainder of the cases
the causes were of a miscellaneous ma.
ture, such as drivers not being ac-
quainted with the road; driver being
| intoxicated; poor eve sight; struck
by train; defective steering gear; blow
out, causing driver to lose control Of
ear, etc.
1t is astonishing that 1876 Of the
accidents occurred on straight roads
where the vision was good. The re-
mainder occurred on either slight Or
sharp curves and one or two at rail-
road crossings, Apparently the fig
ures show the condition of the high
ways did not cause any Of the acci-
dents but that most of them were due
to carelessness or recklessness on chs
part of drivers.
The conditions where accidents Oc-
CURED were as follows:
In 80 cases the road was straight
In 6 cases the road had a gradual
curve.
In case the road had a sharp curve.
In cases accidents occurred at rail-
road crossings.
In case accident occurred at intsc-
secting cross road.
In case accident occurred on road
under construction.
/ The Wisconsin Highway Commits
sion is trying through these monthly
reports to ascertain the number and
causes of highway accidents. In cases
where the highways are responsible
/ these places will be taken care of inn
mediately to prevent further accidents
But in cases where accidents are caus.
ed by carelessness on the part Of
drivers, the remedy will have to come
from improved driving. The increas-
ing traffic on the highways is becom-
ing very serious problem for high
way authorities to copewith, and Il
we are to have relief in the matter
Of accidents, there must be concert
ed effort on the part of drivers to usa
the utmost caution at all times.
