Hartford--A person has been killed every 15 minutes and some one has been injured every 31 sec- onds on the average in ,automo- bile accidents during 1894, mak- ing a total of at least S6,000 deaths and around a million in- jured in 900,000 personal-injury accidents, 1t is disclosed by year end statistics compiled by the Travellers Insurance Company.
 While the increase in deaths has amounted to around 16 per cent compared to 1893, according 10 incomplete tabulations, there has been decrease in the frequency of accidents as well as in the number of persons injured non- fatally per death. The decrease in accidents per death has been 3 per cent, end in the number of persons injured non-fatally per death, 8 per cent. This experience, according to the summary, em- hasizes trend in more serious accidents that has been evidenced for number of years.
 The years fatality toll from au- tomobile accidents brings the ten- year street and highway death record up to more than 290,OO0. It is estimated that nearly 8,,000,- 900 persons have been injured non-fatally during the same ten- year period.
 Deaths and injuries in 1894, however, mark the high point in destruction on streets and high ways. A continuation of the ad- verse trend through 1885 would mean Q casualty toll of more than 10000.
 No geographical division of the country has escaped an increase in fatalities, although in the Mid- dle Atlantic states, comprising New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl- vania, the gain has been less than | one per cent.
 Connecticut Gains.
 In the New England states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut the Indicated increase in fatalities from automobile ac. cidents has amounted to almost 12 | per cent, with the number of deaths | for the year totaling more than
 2,O00. New Hampshire and Con. necticut, contrary to the records
 of the other New England states
 and the country as a whole, have
 reported fewer deaths in 1884
 than in 1893.
 While approximately $500 per. l sons have been killed during thu year in the Middle Atlantic states
 for a slight percentage increase over 1888, New York and New ter ! sev have ref,otred fewer deaths

LAUGH BROUGHT.
RENEWAL Of
CLASSIC
By FRANK "BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. t.
You know, of course. that Navy
broke with Army some few years
ago over the matter of eligibility
The squabble of the service schools
reechoed through the halls of Con-
gress and some of these small
town mouthpieces waxed oratorical
over the fact that Navy couldn't It
seem to beat the Kaydets, largely
because West Point grabbed off
all the good football palyers.
Well, one day representatives of
the schools met in this city and
discussed the situation. The acid
would have eaten pure gold; the
ice would have frozen Vulcan's S
forge.
Came Lunch Time
Came lunch time and colored
boy attempted to serve a bowl of
common potatoes. He stood at the
left of the Admiral.

toned each other all over the
room and finally one of the lower
ranking officers laughed out loud.
Sense of HumOr
1t might have meant the dis
pleasure of the ranking officers
for the boy who couldn't control
his sense of humor. but there's
a sense of humor in the Army
just the same as there's Sobriety
and slow process of promotion.
Everybody laughed, someone said
something that sounded like:
What the He'll, Bill?" and the
boys tossed formality out of the
window.
The colored waiter served the
admiral with the potatoes that
had grown somewhat colder under
the delay and then the general
had his. The papers for the
game were served and everything
went off well.
Now they're on the tape again,
and it looks as if Navy should
win. It would be a great thing
if the Middies did win, and even
the Army admits the truth of that
statement.
The Washington times., 1934-12-01

Twice since 1921 Navy has
fought West Point on even terms.
There was a scoreless tie in 1923
and in 1926, when Lieutenant Gar
Davidson played end for Army
and Lieutenant Tommy Hamilton
was in the backfield for Navy, the
elevens played a 21-to-21 tie in
Chicago. Navy men have always
contended that a bad decision-a
d a d wrong decision-allowed
West Point to score the touch
down that reduced it from defeat
in the Chicago game.
Navy came down to mid-Novem,
Der undefeated, ranking with the
leaders in the country when it
suddenly crashed into the mighty
eleven of University of Pittsburgh
and was buried under five touch
downs. That was two weeks ago.
The physical wounds healed and
the Navy needs no urge to rally
round the colors. The boys who
will start here today are ready.
More than that; they're eleven
confident and grimly determined
boys.
Lost to Illinois
Army was defeated by Illinois
in a mud strife and again by
Notre Dame which struck twice
through the air on long passes to
gain a victory that was spectac-
ular from start to finish.
The weakness against aerial
attack capitalized by Notre Dame
may doom Army today if the
skies clear and the field drains
sufficiently to permit open foot
ball. The Middies are cunning
and deadly overhead if conditions
are right. They bamboozled the
Pitt secondaries with a lateral pass
from Lee to Berries and a forward
pass to King that scored the lone
touchdown.
Throughout the year Berries has
been a sharpshooter with his

BUYS
LORD JIM

NEW YORK, Nov. 3o.-Lord
jim, winner of the last Handle
tonian, trotting classic, is on his
way home to the Blue Grass of
Kentucky.
Two years ago Lord Jim was
bought at the Old Glory sale here
by E. L. Mefford, of Columbus,
Ohio, for only $575, at yesterdays
renewal of the same sale he was
bought by DR.. Ogden M. Edwards,
owner of the Walnut Hall Farm
at Donerail, KY. for $8,100, the
top price of the sale.
Lord Jim was born at Walnut
Hall farm. He returns to his
birthplace with a record of having
won approximately $4,000 in his
brief career. The colt will be re.
tired to the stud, DR.. Edwards
said. He will not be seen on
the tracks again.
DR.. Edwards outbid w. N. Reyn-
olds. the tobacco magnate, and
several European buyers who
wanted Lord jim. The filly,
Emily Stokes, one of the favorites
in the last Hambletonian, was
purchased by an Italian syndicate
for $500. the second highest price
of the sale. She will be raced on
European tracks.

throws, both long and short. He
is calm under pressure and picks
out his receivers with exceptional
skill. The fact that Navy scored
two or more touchdowns in every
game this season except against
Pittsburgh was due in no minor
degree to Berries.
The presence of Berries in the
game today, fully developed foot
ball player that he is with a
full appreciation of the strategic
values may change completely the
style of Army's defense.
Effective Defense

fense against Notre Dame football
that was most effective-waS

Moral Edge
And possibly that is why
Navy feels the zing of victory

starts. The fact that Navy right
now is even money to beat

moral edge in the beginning. for
normally Army should be about

TULANE FACES
L,S,U. TIGERS

BATON ROUGE. La. Dec. l..
Two OF the top-ranking football
machines of the nation, the
Green Wave of Tulane and the
Tigers of Louisiana State Uni
versity, clash here today in a
struggle which is expected to
attract a crowd of more than
10000 spectators.
Neither eleven has been de-
feated within the Southeastern
Conference, and today's classic,
which always converts Louisiana
into two opposing camps of sup
porters, will leave the victor as
the only team in the circuit to
dispute the championship claim
of the Rose Bowl-bound Grim
son Tide of Alabama.
Capt. "Biff" Jones Tigers have
been tied this season by Rice

FULLER SCORES
TECHNICAL K. D,
BY HYDE IGOE

NEW YORK, Dec. Sammy
Fuller didn't depend on judges
or referee, poor decisions or good.
He hawled off and smacked Mas
ter Johnny Jadick down so fast
and furiously in the fourth of
their scheduled 10-round bout
that Jim Crowley came to the
rescue and saved Jadick after
1853 Of the time.
Jadick, his face crimson
smear. was rocking from side to
side on his hands and knees
when the referee stopped the
bout.
Only 1888 persons saw the
bout. it being the smallest crowd
to see a set of bouts in Madison
Square Garden over a stretch of
five years. AS is usual when the
faithful do not turn out, the
bouts were far beyond the ordi-
nary.
Steve Dudas and Abe Feldman,
for instance, fought savagely for
10 rounds, many of the New Jer-
sey rooters setting a roar of pro
test when Abe got the decision
together with a sound drubbing.
Fuller's knockout of Jadick, a
clever fellow who twice had de-
feated Tony Canzoneri, was a big
surprise.
Abe Feldman. 1894, got the de-
clsion over Steve Dudas in 10
rounds, breaking the latter's
string OF % victories. It was a
close affair, many thinking that
Dudas had earned at least a
draw.
