EORGE WASHINGTON expects

nents good enough to test the mettle
of any eleven anywhere. The first
game, September 20, with Shepherd

of opposition. 1t is said that Denver

but after that the Colonials' path Is

George Washington is to play.
Coach Jim Pixlee has said little
so far about his prospects as he re-
alizes that real work is ahead of him
in getting his squad ready for the
long jaunt to Denver. Pixlee, though
knows what sound foot ball is, knows
how to teach it and when the whistle

The Brooklanders also have sched-
uled some mighty hard games. They
open the season on October with
La Sale College of Philadelphia and
then the next week go to Worcester
to meet their old bugaboo, Holy Cross.
Bergman probably would give his
shirt and several other pieces of
clothing to finish that game with the
long end of the score, but other tough
spots also will claim his attention.
Catholic University has lost several
good men from its varsity, but, with
fine freshman squad to draw from
and some excellent material from its
second-string players it should be on
deck with an exceptionally good eleven
Actually, while the Brooklanders start
ed last season with what they con-
sidered were their most brilliant pros
poets and begin this year with less
favorable, the chances are that this
seasons team will be superior. Nc
other Catholic University team ever
did better work in Spring practice.
Sees No Passing Increase.
INCIDENTALLY, in talking about
foot ball, Coach Bergman differed
somewhat from opinions expressed
by many coaches, saying that he doe;
not believe the game this year vii
develop into a free for all passing
contest.
while the rules on passing were
1ightened by the committee in ar
endeavor to make the game mort
open and to help the offense," say
Bergman, II doubt that we shall Sc,
much more passing this season. Tt
my mind, it is pretty likely to be /:
case again of the team that has {
good paSser doing a lot of passing
and the one that does not have 6
good paSSer doing very little of il
That was the case last season and i
has pretty nearly held good ever sine
forward passing was brought into foo
ball. 1t is true, though, that you vii
see more passing and longer passing
inside the Is or 20 yard line. Witt
an opened defense to prevent passe
back of the goal you will see mucl
more open play and easier grounC
gaining for the team nearing a score.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

IF there is thing for which you can credit the
Il passing and unlamented depression, it is pos
siby the lower rate Of deaths from accidents par
ticularly accidents from motor cars.
There were 5000 fewer deaths from accidents in
1882 than in 1881 and the lowest total was reached
since that recorded in 1924
Today the number of deaths from motor vehicles
is greater than that Of suicides and homicides COM
bined. The four most common types of accidental
deaths are those from motor vehicles falls, drown
ing and burns
The percentages vary with the highest rate from
motor vehicles during the late fall and winter months,
and the lowest rate in June and July.
Obviously. the difficulties of driving in winter
weather are associated largely with the increased
accident rate.
THE decrease in death rates from motor vehicle
Il accidents during 1882 was, no doubt due to the
Withdrawal of a considerable number of cars from
traffic because Of the depression.
The proportion OF such deaths to population and
gasoline consumption varies with different states.
For instance North Dakota had the lowest num-
Der Of accidents on the basis Of its population and
also the lowest the basis Of its gasoline conSump-
ton.
Mississippi had low rate on the basis of popu-
lation but very high rate on the basis Of gasoline
consumption.
Minnesota had very high rate on the basis of
population but a low rate on the basis Of gasoline
consumption
Foreign countries are not compared easily to the
United States in relationship to motor vehicle acct
dents. because there is greater number of motor
cars IN this country
IT IS interesting to note that ii per cent Of the vic
L tins of motor accidents pedestrians and Sc
per cent were motorists In the city areas the pc
destrians made up IS per of those injured and
the motorists IS per cent In rural districts the Pc
destrians made up 30 per cent and the motorists 6S
per cent.
The figures show definitely that in those places
where there is a law demanding a drivers license
there is a tendency for the number Of motor
accidents to drop
There seems to be also an increasing carelessness
by motorists in relationship inhaling carbon mon
oxide gas from the exhaust There were only 1913
deaths from this in 1924. but the number
to 4s7 in 1881.

Officers Are Checked

is not up to his colleagues any other authority
to tell those citizens that they voted wrong be-
cause that would be an infringement of their right
as citizens which permits them to elect their choice
without any review by anybody.
L don't know whether Senator Thomas would
wish to go SO far to indorse periodic examinations
of the statesmen in this respect but do not see
that this would be such outlandish idea as it
might at first inspection The officers of the
army and navy are checked up every so often Just
to make sure and these inspections do not fail to
take note of any goofy pecuiarities which may have
developed since the last time In fact most servants
OF the citizens are required to prove their fitness
under some specified standard before they are taken
on and the statesmen whose potential danger to the
country If they are not quite bright not Just right
are conspicuous exceptions. 1t seems very careless
oversight.
