The "Motor Roadeo Dinner" held
at the Hotel Plaza, New York, OF
January 4th, under the auspices Of
the Highway Committee and the

mittee of the N. A. C. of c., focus
sed thought upon some + the out
standing problems of highway trans
portation in a very interesting way,
Avoiding the heavy speech and the
too technical discussion, certain
topics were presented for argument
which are extremely pertinent to
modern road problems.
"Will they walk?" the story Of
the "saturation point" of good roads
reached in many instances today
and rapidly being reached on many
other highways, ran neck-and-neck
with "where shall park my carp
in interest. "Lose a minute, save a
life," was safety discussion, but
safety from the sane angle and not
that of mere extra regulation and
"more police" usually the only
answer of the municipality to cries
for safer streets. "Who's your
neighbour" brought out the fact
that where we used to speak in
acres, we now talk in miles, and
that "neighbor" now means the
chap anywhere within ten miles
when it used to mean the fellow
across the road. Putting the Bus
into Business, "Green Lands and
Terminals" Blazing New Trade
Routes" "Who Pays for the
Roads?" are all suggestive topics
which will bear discussion in otLef
places and at other times than tai

Meetings of this kind but emphasize

them, built to last, and built for to-
morrow and timorrow's problems as

takes time for sentiment to per-
meate it's four corners, but those
legislators who do not have true
vision of the insistent demand Of
the voters for adequate transporta-
ton via their highways are going
to find themselves left out in the

FRENCH BEATEN
 BY URUGUAYANS
Sweden Also Beats Egypt In
 Olympic Soccer Games

PARIS, June 1.-(By Associated Press.)- the quarter finals of the Olympic soccer competition today the Uruguayan team defeated France by a score of to and Sweden won from Egypt by similar score.
 In defeating the French team the Uruguayane continued their victorious career toward the Olympic champion ship, having defeated Jugo Slavia and the United States. The Frenchmen were just as powerless before the fire works" of the Uruguayans as had been the stoid Jugo Slavians, and the deter mined North Americans.
 ~Uruguayans Strong
 In the opinion of followers of the game, there seems to be no stopping of these small, but sturdy brOnzed men from South America. Their speed again brought them victory today. Facing one of the fastest teams of continental Europe, the Uruguayans simply beat the Frenchmen at their game. There was no fluke about their victory.
 The attendance was recOrd-breaker for any of the Olympic competition thus far held.
 The spectators were fair toward the visiting team except once when they booed and hissed the referee, who re. fused to allow a French contention that a Uruguayan had used his hands in making a play.

 Several new springting stars flashed to the fore notably J. B..

 Field performers also had their share of the limelight in the big college meet with Glenn Hartranft, hero of Stan lords brilliant but vain attempt to overhaul Yale and Pennsylvania, loom ing as a likely Olympic champion in two events. The Palo Alto man set new rec ords in the shot-put and discus throw, defeating brilliant fields in each feature. Another outstanding performer was Bill Comins, of Yale, who shattered 20- year-old intercollegiate championship record in the broad jump in the first days trials and did even better-24 feet, 8 inches--to clinch first place in the finals.

NEW YORK, June 1.-(By The As sociated Press)-America' hopes of a decisive victory in defense of her Olympic track and field laurels in the international games at Paris in July have regained a brighter view as a re- suit of the spectacular array of perform ances in the intercollegiate champion ships, the most important group of pre- hminary tests yet conducted.
 Where six months ago new material appeared lacking in top notch calibre and veterans seemed to be slipping, new and experienced performers alike now are rounding into condition that prom ises the keenest sort of battle for the approximately 125 places to be filled on the track and field squad that leaves June 16.
 Record breaking performances in sev- eral sectional Olympic trials in the mid dle west and south, with an array of brilliant feats that made track history in the intercollegiate championships at Cambridge, also an Olympic test, were the developments that have buoyed up American hopes The results of these meets forecast mighty battle in the final trials at Cambridge, June 13 and IA.
 Outstanding in the list of track achievements were the feats of Ivan Riley, Illinois A. C., timber topper, in setting a new worlds record of 51 1-10 seconds for the 100-metre hurdles at

WARDENS KEEP ON
 AT 78 BELOW ZERO
Continue Long Journey While
 Animals Are Frozen In

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June l. Frank Dufresne, fur warden at Nome, and his trail assistant, Fay Delezene, noted northern dog musher, encoun- tered some of the coldest weather known in this territory during n trip last winter to the north of the Arctic Circle.
 Leaving Nome on the 1,474-mile journey, the two first travelled to Safety, then to Bluff, across Norton Sound to the reindeer station; thence to Unalakleet and Kaltag, up the Yu- kon river to Nulato and on to Koyu- kuk. From KOyukuk they followed the military telegraph line and the Yukon river to Louden, Ruby, Kok- rines, Birches and Fort Gibbon. They next struck north to Allakakat, swing ing west in a circle to Shungnak and down the Kobuk river to Noorvik, Kotzebue, Keewalik, Candle and over- land to Norton Sound and Nome.
 For ten days at one stretch the mer- cury registered from 62 to 78 degrees below zero, according to Dufresne.
 "An interesting fact" said Dufresne, 'is that when the thermometer regis ters 60 degrees below or colder, animal life ceases to move and burrows into the snow, remaining there until the weather warns up.

MEMPHIS INCREASES
 LEAD IN SOUTHERN
Barons Win Four Out Of Seven Games During
 Week Of Play

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 1.-While Atlanta, which had been pressing Mem phis for leadership in the Southern as- sociation was suffering slump during the past week, the Chickasaws were winning games, and tonight are seven full games ahead of the Crackers.
 The Chicks, however, are taking to the road again after a long home stay and must meet the leading teams on their jaunt around the circuit, while Atlanta faces month at home. Memphis opens with the Crackers tomorrow in Atlanta, and the series will attract at- tention not only because of the bearing lit will have on the leadership, but be- cause of the intense rivalry between the two league leaders.
 Bears Fall Down
 The Mobile Bears, who, a week ago were in third place, also suffered re- verses during the week, and dropped to fifth place, New Orleans and Nash vile stepping up.
 Including today's game, Memphis won seven of the last eight played, At lanta lost seven of nine, Mobile lost SIX or elSnt, New OfleAnS won SIX or ten, and Nashville scored six victories in nine starts.
 Birmingham, in sixth place and Chat tanooga in the cellar berth, increased their percentages, the Barons winning four out of seven games, and the Look outs winning four and losing four. Lit tie Rock, including today's game, won two and lost six in eight starts. . Pitchers Stronger
 Tightening of the pitching strength throughout the league has featured the past weeks play. With the hurlers reaching top-season form, the slugging festival which marked the first few weeks of the season has passed. Chat tanooga, with 30 hits in eight games, set the pace last week in hitting, the Lookouts' slugging being all the more spectacular because of nine home runs scored. Other teams which were aver aging ten and 12 hits game during the past week are now satisfied with seven or eight.
 Nashville's spurt is attributed to all around play, the Volunteers making only five errors in eight games, in cluding Saturdays while they were driving out 63 hits. Costly errors con- tinued to affect Little Rocks chances.

NNHE position of the Giants at the
 head of the National league was
 made somewhat insecure Sunday, when they lost to the Braves at the Polo grounds, II to 6, while the second place, Cubs were winning from the Pi- rates in Chicago, 2 to 1. The National league champions had led their circuit by two and one-half games, but as a result of Sundays activities, a full game was whittled from their margin of leadership.
 It was Pitcher Jess Barnes, a
 former Giant, who set back the
 leaders. The Giants provided a to.
 tai of seven errOrs-prObably the
 highest number in a single game
 for New York this season.
 The Pirates-Cubs match in Chicago was a pitchers duel between Johnny Morrison and Vic Aldridge, both yield ing six hits. Chicago scored its two runs in the initial inning. These runs were sufficient, as Pittsburgh was un-

able to register more than Once-in the fourth inning.
 BurIeigh Grimes tossed success fully for the Dodgers in their Sun- day game with the PhillieS in Brooklyn. The Dodgers won by scoring mostly in the late stages of the game, putting run over in the sixth, two more in the seventh, an. other in the eighth and still an- other in the ninth, for an 8 to victory. Jacques FOurnier, the Dodgers first baseman, knocked his tenth homer in the sixth. There were only two games in the American league The Tanks and Red Sox were idle, and consequently first and second places remained unmOved.
