PUNTING DUEL TO MARK TERP CAVALIER CLASH SATURDAY
Bank On
.Mstad
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Another close and spectacular
Maryland-Virginia football game
is in prospect for Saturday at
Charlottesville, Va.
In scoring two touchdowns
against Navy, Virginia showed it
has a forward passing and quick
kicking attack which will test
Maryland's gridiron ingenuity to
the limit.
Maryland has star punter in
big Jim Meade, and Virginia will
be hard pressed to get out of the
holes into which this lad is certain
to force the Cavaliers.
1t should be a pretty punting
duel between Meade and NiStad,
Virginia'S astonishing quick kicker.
Meade is a long, accurate punter;
Nistad is best kicking from regular
box formation, and, in the Navy
game, NiStad proved his worth.
Maryland's running attack ap-
pears superior to that shown thus
far by Virginia. VirginiaS over
head game is excellent, as was
proved against Navy. The TerpS,
however, are never short in the
matter of forward passing at
tack.
Virginia's backfield will have to
show quite an improvement this
week if the Cavaliers are to test
Maryland to the limit. There was
some loose play by the Cavalier
backfield men in tight spots in
Saturdays game. although it must
be said that every break went
against Virginia in the Navy game.
Line Playing spotty
Virginia's line played spotty
football against Navy. A tight de-
Tense is what Virginia most needs,
if the Cavaliers are to halt Mary
land. If Guckeyson is ready for
Virginia, it would appear that the
TerpS hold an advantage. If the
Terp star is not ready, Maryland
will find that Virginia will be
hard to handle.
Maryland has logged defense.
Against North Carolina, the Terp
defense in the first half was ex-
ceptionally good. However, against
trick reverseS, Maryland's defense
was not so good.
Virginia'S defense in the Navy
game was never very much to
write home about. Against Nays
slash at tackle, particularly di-
rected at Virginia's left tackle, the
Cavaliers did not look any too
impressive. Perhaps it is that
Maryland's attack does not meas
ure up to that of Navy; but then
again, there is no reason to as
sumo that Maryland's attack is
weak.
Good, Substantial Wall
That Maryland line, composed
Of Willis, Fletcher, Surgent, Wal
ton, Wolfe, Kirkland and Smith
is a good, substantial forward
wall. Virginia must mend her
fences in the Cavalier line, COM
posed of Davenport, Weeks, Mon
cure. Berkeley, Schmidt, Haskell
and George, if Virginia is to stand
up through a grueling Commute
battle.
In the Navy game, Virginia
looked like a real football team
until midway in the third period.
At that point the Cavaliers
seemed to fade-and this with the
game in a 14to-14 deadlock! 1t
was Virginia's line which withered
away.
In the Carolina game Mary
lands second-half defense was
Stouter, relatively, than Virginia's
was against Navy.
On the face of returns, Mary
land holds an edge over the Cava-
lierS.

TAX EVASION PACT
LAID TO DU POINT
U. S. Charges Deals With
Raskob to. Create Fic-
tionaI Losses.
BY the Associated Press.

Answering the appeal of Pierre S.
du Pont of Delaware from a claim of
S617,316 more taxes for 1929. the
Government charged today before the
Board Of Tax Appeals that Du Pont
agreed with John j. Raskob to create
fictitious losses for that year.
The answer, by Herman Oliphant,
internal revenue counsel. contended
fictitious losses of $1,946,048 were set
up by Du Pont for the year and that
there were other incorrect deductions
The Government asked that Du
Points appeal be denied and that the
Tax Appeal Board find that the net
taxable income should be increased
in the sums of 81 ,048.71, $54,-
1899, 1892, $50 and s64 ,659.6l."
In November. 1929, it was charged,
du Pont reached an understanding
with Raskob for them to attempt
to create fictitious losses" to reduce
their tax liability.
Both du Pont and Raskob have
contributed to the American Liberty
League. Raskob, former chairman
Of the Democratic National Commit
tee, is expected to come here with
Alfred E. Smith, January 25, when
the 1928 democratic nominee addresses
the league dinner.
The Government brief said du Pont
and Raskob virtually traded stocks at
prices to show losses, du Pont later
repurchasing his at market prices,
and that they gave each other checks
to Offset losses.
In voluminous tables, the answer
said du Pont bought stocks from
Raskob in 1929 amounting to $l3,-
032,250. Transfer taxes amounting to
$9,284.20 attended the sale.
Dividends amounting to $54, 300
were received by him on the stocks so
purchased and 1887 ,066 check was
received from Raskob to offset losses,
making total receipts of $l4,883 400.
A similar table of transactions for
Raskob said he had purchased $13,-
449,12 in stocks from du Pont His
transfer tax amounted to $4,399 while
dividends received amounted to $75.-
800. Du Points check to offset losses
amounted to $3.50, 900, making total
receipts of $14,883, 1854, or SAC less than
du Points aggregate.

TRAFFIC INQUIRY
Representative Schultz Is
Aroused by 113 FataIi-

BY JAMES E. CHINN.

A sweeping investigation of Wash
ington's traffic situation was pro-
posed today by Representative Schultz,
Democrat. Of Indiana, member of
the House District Committee.
Aroused over the 113 traffic IA
talities in 1885 and 6 so far this year,
Schultz said a comprehensive study
might reveal the cause and result in
a cure.
He said he would propose at the
District Committee meeting Wednes-
day that a special subcommittee be
created to go thoroughly into all
phases of the traffic situation. Chair
man Norton is expected to support
his proposel in view of her intense
interest in traffic safety.
Aroused by Conditions.
Schultz is indignant over traffic
conditions here and the method of
intorcing regulations-a situation, he
contends, which makes the streets
unsafe and contributes to the high
fatality rate. He believes the traffic
regulations may not be sufficient to
cover all safety needs and also that
there is a laxity in precautions.
Schultz admits he is not an expert
on the subject, but Is confident the
police do not give enough attention to
traffic in the outlying sections, where,
he said, a major portion of serious ac-
cidents happen.
Downtown there are traffic lights.
