By the Associated Press.
" CREST HILLS, N. Y. September
l. 6.-For the first time since
1925 the national tennis singles
/ championship of the United
States will go to some one other

Frances grip or world tennis honors

and Cochet kept the title in Frances
possession last year by defeating Frank
Hunter In the final round. ...
Tilden, seeded first in the tourna-
men, will have no easy path to his sew
enth national title, but. on form, should
his way. In his half of the draw are
H. w. Austin of England; Berkeley
Bell of Austin, Tex; John Van Ryn
of East Orange, N. j.: Tamio Abe Of
Japan: German Upmann, Cuba, and
John Doeg, Santa Monica, all seeded
players.

with the other seeded players in his
half being e. r. Avory and j. S. Olih
of England, N. j. FarquharsonS OF
South Africa, Gregory S. Mangin Of
Newark, Fritz Mercur of Bethlehem,
Pa, and Frank Hunter.
With a field of 90 seeking the title,
play in the championship will start to-
morrow on the West Side Tennis Clubs
famous courts. The finals will be played
q week from tomorrow.

delphia, former Princeton star, in a
second-round match tomorrow after
noon at 2;30 pm. Hunter and Edward
Jacobs of Baltimore and the University
of Pittsburgh are matched at ! o'clock.
Austin will clash with Edward Hern-
don of New York in flrst-round match
at 4 o'clock.

TN the absence of the great French
stars, Young Henry Wilfred
("Bunny') Austin of England
stands out this season as the
principal foreign contender for
the national tennis singles cham
pionship in the coming tournament
at Forest Hills.
Eliminated in the third round last
year by Johnny Doeg, the former
Cambridge University tennis cap
tain has apparently improved con-
siderably since. He headed the
Davis Cup tennis forces of England
and reached the semi-finals at VIM
bledon. His ability Is indicated by
the fact that in three meetings this
season with Francis r. Hunter, sec
ond ranking American star, he has
been successful twice. one of these
victories having been scored at
Wimbledon and the other more re-
Gently at Newport, r. I.
Austin, a seasoned player despite
his youth, favors the English style
of deep-court play, although on oc-
casion he can take the net with rare

next season against Bucknell in q
game that ended in a TT tie. Tenn
Piles score resulted from this play.
No. receives the ball from CEN
ter and plunges at the defensive left
tackle, slipping the ball to back No.
2 as he passes him. No. 2 swings
wide to the left behind the two
guards, Nos. and 6. No. runs
well to the rear of No. 2. No one,
as is the style in lateral pass plays,
bothers with the defensive right end.
The play breaks according to what
this individual elects to do. If the
end drives in to tackle No. 2, No. 2
lateral passes to No. 3. If not, Nos.
2 and continue on in their reSpec-
tive positions until defensive back
goes for No. 2. When he does the
lateral pass to No. 3 is made.
California has a somewhat similar
play. only it's forward pass. 1t
worked like sixty against Georgia
Tech in the Tournament Of Roses
game last New Year day.

ERR|NG DRIVERS
LOSE TINE

How much OF the time that the
average driver loses in traffic Is
due to his own mistakes?
Asking this question, Oscar CoOli-
can declares that IL two drivers
are placed in exactly the same
traffic conditions and one makes
better progress than the other It
stands to reason that "heayy traffic
Is not the only reason for lost time.
: "Certainly," says Mr.. Coolican,
'traffic congestion does retard the
average driver. II, however, some
are retarded more than others, 1t
must seem obvious that some know
better faw to handle their cars
under conditions of congestion. BY
this is not meant that some take
desperate chances and get ahead
while others, more cautious, fall
behind.
"Quite the, reverse is most often
the case. The conspicuous chance
taker In traffic Is the driver who
weaves from one lane to another.
1t is just this weaving that is
costly In time spent getting to ones
objective. No, the weaving driver
is not the one who knows how best
to get through traffic"
The driver who does know, ac-
cording to Mr.. Coolican, Is the one
who always is in his proper place.
''If he is making a right turn,
for instance, he Is over In the right
lane; or left turn at an uncon.
trolled intersection, in the left
lane. In other words, he Is not
forced to grope his way over where
he belongs but gets there suffici-
emily far in advance that he loses
no time when he reaches the
intersection at which he intends to
turn. II he is going straight ahead.

that he Is not blocked by others

RULES GIVEN
\ DRIVERS

AS a contribution toward greater
safety and more pleasant driving
conditions on the highways of the
country this summer, the Ford Motor
Company has listed IL automobile
driving rules and has offered them
as suggestions to all motorists
The rules have been lettered on
large placards which have been dis
tributed to Ford dealers over the
country for display, in showroons
and service stations. The hope. as
expressed by the Ford Motor Com
pany is that the prominent display
OF these driving suggestions, with
their concise statement, will make
them part of the automatic re-
action of motorists on the road.
Good Rules to Follow
The twelve rules are:
1. Courtesy comes first. Con.
sider the rights and privileges OF
others.
2. Keep your mind on your
driving, and anticipate sudden
emergencies.

These suggestions, it was ex-
planned, are merely common sense
as applied to driving and every
experienced motorist knows all of
them.
It is estimated that 10000, 900
persons will tour on American high
ways this summer. 1t is pointed
out that recognition of the rights
of others will be essential and that
many unpleasantries and accidents
will be avoided if motorists at
times of close situations will recall
these rules and act accordingly
They are offered to give greater
peace of mind to those who travel

OLD AUTO SALES
HIT RECORD

What. Is believed to be new
record for the sale of used cars
In the United States was estab.
ished In May when the nationwide
Chevrolet dealer organization sold
167,624 used cars. This was in ad,
dition to the record volume of new
car business which also scared to
new level during the month.
In commenting on the achieve.
ment, Chevrolet factory officials
point out that 1t was made possible
through the tremendous amount OF
public confidence that , has been
built up by Chevrolet dealers
through the general policy of of
fering for sale only dependable mer.
ehandise. They explain that
through the widespread use of the
red tag with an o. X. that counts"
prospective used car bupers can be
assured that every vital part of the
car has been properly recondltioned
ana put In shape to offer thousands
OF miles OF unused transportation.
compared with the corresponding
month OF year ago, when 1875
used cars were sold, the May, 1929,
total showed q gain of more than
80 per cent. 1t also outstripped
the April, 1929. record Of 1887
used cars.
In accomplishing this feat, the
Chevrolet dealer organization sold
an average of 6,063 used cars a
day during the 26 business days
Of the month. This was at the rate
Of more than 500 cars an hour and
more than 10 cars a minute. The
May record demonstrates that it
pays to sell only dependable mer.
chandise, officials point out.
