Warned Not To
Pick Up Hitlh-hikers

How many motorists ever think
when they pick up a pedestrian on
the highway that they may be trans
porting bank robber, hi-jacker or
someone of similar talent? asked
Durant auto dealer the other day.
"Ten or twelve years ago, the mo-
torist became aware Of the existence
of new type of pest, which since
then has become known as the hitch
hiker'. Originally sharply divided into
two types-the out-and-out hobo, and
the real worker who had to travel
cheaply--we have encouraged the de-
velopment of this genus until it in
cludes a constant flow of part time
pedestrians of nearly every class of
humanity, who by word or gesture
brazenly demand transportation, and
frequently curse US when we pass
them by.
Motorists must admit that these
my with us are problem for which
our good nature in the past is largely
responsible, and | think most auto
mobilists will agree that the time has
come to consider what we are going
TO 90 about them.
1.-THE many types found on the high
ways are usually interesting, fire.
quently tiresome, and only too often
are proper objects of fear. My ex-
perience includes lifts given one
hardboiled jailbird who was earnestly
obeying the Reno judges instructions
to get as far from Reno in two hours
as possible; many high school and
college boys who seemed to be trav-
cling for no particular reason other
than it did not cost very much; many
job hunters from the Northwest
headed for southern California, and
about as many disappointed job hunt
ers heading home again; one young
married couple trying to beat the
stork to their home town; and many
others of numberless types-all inter-
esting in one way or another, but all
generally bearing out the percentage
Of uselessness previously referred to-
Police know that criminals use the
highways in such manner that a
check on their movements is out Of
the question. What officer is going to
stop the good-looking sedan or coupe,
to ask who the occupant Of the extra
seat may be?
"Yet for all you or | knew when
we stopped to pick him up, he may be
bank robber; hijacker, or someone
Of similar talent. For that matter, did
we know that at the first opportu-
nifty he might be prepared to jab the
muzzle of gun in our ribs and turn
US into hitch hiker-- or an angel?
There are far too many records Of
good natured drivers being treated
that way.
"As class motorists brought this
other class into existence-and auto
mobilists can come close to putting
1t out of existence. Drivers to protect
themselves, and to help peace Of
ficers do their work, should let the
hitch hiker walk and walk, and walk"

TIED, BUT CAVALIERS
GET VICTORY TOKEN

UNIVERSITY, Va, November A.
Virginia's foot ball team brought back
an emblem Of victory over Maryland
despite the fact that the game played
in College Park on Saturday was a
13-to-13 tie.
Senator M. e. Tydings Of Maryland
each year gives to the winner of the
Virginia Maryland game a silver foot
ball of regulation size. In case of q
tie the ball goes to the visiting team,
and at the close OF the game Senator
TydingS brought the trophy to the Cav
alier dressing rooms.
Since the Virginia Maryland series
was begun in 1925 the silver foot ball
has been awarded five times. In games
played Virginia has won twice, Mary
land once. and there have been two tie
games. But because both ties have
been played on Byrd Field the Cavaliers
have four trophies and Maryland only
one.
Today the Virginians are forgetting
silver foot balls for the pigskin kind.
They are forgetting Maryland and look
ing ahead to next Saturday. when the
powerful team of Virginia Polytechnic
Institute comes to Lambeth Field for
the last home game of the season.
While Virginia was fighting to a draw
with Maryland. the Virginia Poly team
was running riot over Washington and
Lee, and the Cavaliers are starting to-
day to make certain that the riot call
is not turned out again when the Cob
blers come to Lambeth Field at the end
of the week.

its scores through uninterrupted Of
fensive marches.
Pittsburgh seems to be moving its merry
way, its game Saturday with Ohio
State resulting in such a decisive vic
tory that no doubt could exist about
the comparison of the teams. The con-
test gave Pitt an opportunity to COM
pare very favorably with elevenS in the
Western Conference.
Cornell won from Columbia by IL to
6, when Dobie'S team, unable to gain
with its running game, took to forward
passes Incidentally scene such as
takes place on few college foot ball
fields was enacted at the end of the
contest. Columbia carried the ball to
Cornell's. S-yard line just as the game
was ending. It had time to run only
one play. The backs drove into the
line and the milling players swirled and
went down, with the Columbia back at
the bottom Of the heap. The referee
tried to get at the ball to see where
it was and swarmS of spectators rushed
on the field and closed around the piled
up players, even before the decision had
been made. Finally the referee made a
motion indicating no touchdown and
wended his way to the dressing room.
One of the biggest surprises Of last
weeks games was the defeat of Prince
ton by Chicago. 1t was known that
princeton was not as strong as usual,
but following 24-to-0 defeat by Purdue
it seemed that the Midwestern eleven
was hardly up to the peak of big teams.
1t is interesting to note that Stage,
coach OF the Chicago eleven for many
years, had the satisfaction of seeing
his son in the QuarterbackS position
carry the team to victory.
1t begins to seem that Purdue has
about the best chance for Western
Conference honors. Not only is it I'M
defeated so far but Saturday it went
out to Madison and whipped Wisconsin
by two touchdowns. In the other
Western Conference games, Minnesota
beat Indiana and Northwestern took
the measure of Illinois.
Two or three supposedly strong elevens
in the South took real beatings. Most
surprising were the defeats handed
Clemson by Kentucky and Washington
and Lee by Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute. Clemson has been going along we'll
this Fall, and that Kentucky would whip
It by A to was entirely unexpected.
Also it was not looked for that v. P. I.
would beat Washington and Lee by SO
to 6.
Vanderbilt stopped Alabama by 2
touchdowns to O. Vanderbilt began the
year with many limitations that it
would likely have very weak eleven,
but its record so far has not borne out
that thought.
In the two intersectional games in
which Southern elevens took part Flor
ida was smashed by Harvard IA to 0
and Georgia Tech was whipped by
Notre Dame 26 to 6, which probably
about represented the comparative
strength of the teams.

tn ECH and Western elevens were
getting in final tuning-up drills
this afternoon in preparation
for their public high school
championship game tomorrow
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock in the Central
High School Stadium.
Western is printing for desperate
effort to stop Tech. Should the Nc
Kinley eleven get by Western it will
have to defeat only the weak Business
team to gain the undisputed cham
pionship. Tech already has defeated
Eastern and Central. Western has
downed Business, but has fallen before
Eastern.
Should Western surprise by beating
Tech, it would mean that four of the
five competing schools all would have
a chance at the title. Central and
Eastern along with Tech and Western
each would have lost only one game.
Coach Dan Ahern of the Western team
is hopeful of being able to present a
lineup against the proteges of Hap
Hardell that will be much stronger than
that which has represented the George
town scholastics in previous series games
this Fall, as the result of the addition
of capable players who have been in
eligible heretofore through failure in
their studies.
Just what additional players he will
have available was not known early to-
day by the Western mentor, though he
was hopeful of gaining the services Of
such StalwartS as Brownfield and
