AUTO SAFETY LAW
EFFECTS DELAYED
Act Is Not Retroactive, and Even
Where 1t Applies Principals
Invoke Privileges.

Washington motorists have yet to
feel the teeth of the safety response
bility law which went into effect on
August l, since the act, which requires
revocation of operators permit upon
condition of driving while drunk or
leaving after colliding, is not retro
active.
While there have been a number
Of convictions for these offenses since
the act went into effect. the defend
ants, with the exception of one, were
all arrested prior to the date upon
which the new law became effective.
In most cases, these defendants de-
manded jury trials.
Considerable delay is expected both
from the fact that jury trials are
usually demanded In driving while
drunk or leaving after colliding arrests,
and because, upon conviction, counsel
can request a new trial. In this way
the revocation can be deferred for a
considerable period.
An even greater delay Is expected
In the cases Of persons who fail to
pay judgments of more than 500.
These cases will Of necessity be held
over until after civil proceedings have
been completed. Defendants are then
given 80 days in which to pay the
judgments before their permits are
revoked.

Bulldog Defense Is Geared High to Cope
With PurdueS Fast Break Here TONIGHT
Butler Cunning for Second
Victory, While Invaders
Seek No. q.

When the Purdue Boilermakers
take to the hardwood at Butler
f1eldhouse tonight at 8:15 they are
to be met by Bulldog squad that
is reported to have gained more
than determination in drills this
week.
For the last few afternoons the
Bulldogs have been working strenu-
ously to build a stronger defense,
and Coach Tony Hinkle has been
encouraging them to pepper away
on long shots, recalling that their
percentage has been none too high
for the first three games.
Cosgrove May Start
The reserves have been showing
up well against the varsity, and
Coach Hinkle has made several
changes in his first team, hoping
to find a combination that will
click. Ralph Cosgrove, an Indian
apolis boy, seems to have the inside
track, and probably will start to-
night along with Armstrong, Brat
ford, Jones and Bats. Cosgrove has
displayed good form on defense, and
that is what Coach Hinkle is look
ing for.
Seward Gives Purdue Heighth
Most of the defensive practice has
been based on the goal of stopping
Purdue's speed plays. The Boiler
makers only tall man is Jim
Seward, formerly a Shortridge star.
The rest of the upstate boys are
average size. The Lambertmen will
be cunning for their fourth victory
tonight.
If the Bulldogs, who list two losses
and one triumph, upset the invading
quintet, things will brighten up
around the Hinkle camp before the
boys leave for Christmas vacation.
Hinkle has limited that the players
may have longer vacation if the
game is won.

McAvoy may take off some weight
and go after Risko's title next
spring.
McAvoy's first blow of the battle,
q stiff right, sent Risko to the floor
for the count of one-the second
time Eddie had been floored in his
long career. Five more times the
catering Briton swarmed over his
man and crashed him to the deck
for counts ranging from five to
eight.
The last time Risko rose he was
groggy and bounced off the ropes
into the middle of the ring, where
a short right put him down for the
final COUNT minutes 48 seconds
after the scrap began. It was the
first time RiSko had been counted
out.
1t was fortunate for Risko that he
had refused to make the encounter
title affair-as McAvoy desired.
Because of Risko's refusal, it was
an oyer-the-weight match, with Nc
Avoy. at 1885,. enjoying a distinct
pull over Risko's 1914. Risko land
ed only one solid blow-a wild left
hook TO McAvoy's jaw after the
champion had risen from the second
kl1ockdown.

McAvoy, fighting since he was Is
years old, came to these shores last
month unheralded as a fighter and

be another typical English battler,

In his first scrap McAvoy was
fairly impressive as he pounded out
a l0-round decision over Al Mccoy

Avoy was produced-a man who
floored Middleweight Champion
Eddie (Babe) Risko of Syracuse six
times and then smashed him down
for 10 with a short hard right to
the chin, all in one round.
Thus the man who holds both the
middleweight and light heavyweight
championships of Great Britain
clinched title bout with Lewis,

showed he has more than enough

it.
