Three Of the Meriden High school
basketball ineligibles will appear at
the Boys club tonight when the To-
calls take on the Crescents fast
team from the Silver City. This trio,
Smith, Wilson and Thompson. suf-
fered the same fate which was i'm
posed upon 16 members of the New
Britain High school squad and, like
those lost to the local quintet, were
all regulars. They will give the club
something TO worry about. 1t will
be the third Meriden team the To-
calls have tackled in two weeks: the
other two they defeated by one point
each, but they hope to make the
margin of victory larger this eve
ming. The most encouraging factor
in the outlook for victory is the re-
turn of Joe Gotta, who was injured
in Meriden and could not play last
week; Joe is expected to be avail
able for at least part Of the time
tonight.
In the preliminary contest the
Boys Club Reserves will meet the
Southington Eagle Juniors. After

DRUNKEN DRIVING
Shows INCREASE
Intoxicated Operators Blamed
for 1913 Accidents in 1925

Intoxication as the cause of 497
motor vehicle accidents during the
past year was not always the oper-
ators' offense. Y Further details of the
24,326 accidents reported to the state
motor vehicle department during the
year, which appear in the February
bulletin of the department soon to
be issued. show that 104 intoxicated
pedestrians caused accidents. The
number of intoxicated operators
blamed for accidents was 1913.
Except in one particular there has
been a steady increase in the num-
Der of motor vehicle accidents due to
intoNication both of operators and
pedestrians. Under the heading of
recklessness of operators held res
ponslble for accidents III the past
three years it is shown that 2S9 in
toXicated operators got into such
trouble in 1924, 35S in 1925 and 1913
and 1926. Under the heading of
carelessness of adult pedestrians, it
is shown that 80 drunken people
were responsible for being hit in
1924, ST in 1925 and 1O4 in 1926.
The exception noted is in the total
of drunken pedestrians responsible
for being hit in 1925, when there
were five less of such casuals than
in the previous year.
Pedestrians Careful
The fact that less pedestrians
both children and adult caused ac-
cdents because of crossing streets
carclessly, is hailed as an encourag-
ing sign. It has been for years in
Connecticut the chief cause of motor
vehicle accidents involving pcdes-
TRANS. A move to educate pedes.
TRANS TO be more careful in this
particular was undertaken by various
Connecticut safety agencies several
years ago and when the number of
adult pedestrians guilty of such care
lesSness was cut down from ia in
1924 to TAG in 1925, in the face of
q considerable increase in traffic, it
was felt that the public was respond
ing to this education. But there was
pcssimism over the fact that the
number Of child pedestrians commit
ting such carelessness had jumped
from 545 in 1924 to SIS in 1925.
Last year, however. the total of chill
dren listed as careless in this respect
dropped to S6S while that of adults
fell to 1888.
Decrease In Children Hit
There was drop. also, in the
number Of children causing acct
dents by stepping from behind OBJ
jects before looking. In 1924, there
were 335 children hit under such
circumstances, in 1925 the total
leaped TO AGA, but in the past year
it fell off to 45l. There was also
reduction in 1926 of the number Of
children injured by automobiles be-
cause of confusion and of stealing
rides, but an increase from siXty-six
to ninety-seven of the number of
children hit by automobiles while
coasting.
While children evidently showed
more care in the aggregate about
stepping from behind other objects
into the path of approaching auto
mobiles. adults as a class related
their caution in this respect the
number hit under those circumstan-
ces going from IT'S in 1925 to 226
in 1926. During 1924, PIG were
guilty of such carelessness, There
was a slight increase last year. in
the number OF adults who were
careless while boarding or leaving
trolley cars or while confused.

1t sounds kind of foolish for any
team to claim the state champion
ship with good part of the season
yet to come. At best, It can hardly
be seen what a mythical title is
anyway. Still. in claiming the state
honors, the Bristol team is deliber-
ately ignoring the New Britain team
which already holds two victoris
over it.

Speak king
of Sports

Following the two victories over
the Atlas of New Haven last week,
the Bristol Endees are leading in the
race for the state title. With con-
siderably more than month to go
before the close of the season, the
Bell Towners are claiming the state
championship.
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1927-02-21

The National Guards still have two
more games with the Endees in a
five-game series. Already the Guards
have won two games to Bristol's one.
Another win for New Britain will
make the score three to win in favor
of the Guards.
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1927-02-21

The next or fourth game OF the
series is scheduled to be played in
this city and the date for this game
will be named very soon. With
these important games still ahead of
1t, the Bristol Endees claim to have
the state championship sewed up.

Figures cannot lie. Despite the

are about as flimsy as anything could

however, and can be accepted for

to have lost two more games than
the Bristol Endees. To date. the
Bristol team has played "a games,

New Britain stands even with

The Guards have beaten the st. Jo-
seph's T. A. B. society team of Wa
terbury two games. They have beaten
the Brooklyn A. G. of Waterbury two
out of three. They stand one and

the negative. No formal decision was

The British team. while defending

state was not in itself a solution OF
the various issues, social and econom-

Briefly explained, without going into
technical details, the method used in the
fine art of etching is as follows.
"A polished copper or zinc plate is
covered with a wax preparation which re-
sists acid, q steel point is used in draw
ing upon the plate, this point cutting
through the wax and leaving the copper
lines bare; an acid is applied to the plate,
and it attacks or bites only where the
steel point has cut through the wax.
When the biting is completed the resist
ing wax coating is removed A print Is
then obtained by dabbing a thick oily
ink over the plate, which is then wiped
with q stiff muslin and the hand to re-
move the superf1uous ink; the plate is
then placed face upward m the bed of

between the rollers of the press under
pressure. BY this means the paper Is
pressed into the etched or bitten lines
and draws out the ink deposited therein.

Drypoint
"Drypoint consists or making a scratch
upon a smoothly polished metal plate
with a sharp-pointed piece of steel or q
diamond: and that scratch, when print
ed, will be a surprisingly rich and beau
