SLOW DRIVERS AS WELL
 AS SPEEDERS ARE WARNED
State Police Issue Instructions to Govern Football Game
 Highway Traffic.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 29 LP - The slow moving car on the high ways leading into New Haven to- morrow is expected by state police to cause more traffic confusion than anything else. The state mo- tor vehicle department and the state police have asked that two simple rules be observed tomorrow when thousands are going to the Elm City for the Yale-Army game. They are to avoid extremes of speed on the highways, not travel Ing so slowly as to hold up traffic oehind. nor so fast that the driver does not have complete control of his car.
 The trouble with the slow driver on occasions like days of big foot pail games when the main highway running into New Haven has an unbroken line of well filled auto mobiles, the state police point out, IS that it encourages the driver be- hind him to try to turn out and pass. Others follow suit with the result that a great many cars are constantly turning out into the right of way of opposite traffic all along the line until the slow car gets into New Haven. This leads 10 confusion. and experience of past years has shown the police that it IS the most dangerous practice to be guarded against.

Houdini Is suffering from strepto- coccus peritonitis which developed following an operation for ap- pendicitis performed Monday.

 Houdini's appendix burst three days before the operation was per formed.
 The crisis in Houdini's condition will come within the next A to 48 hours, 1t was said.
