AUTO PRODUCTION
REACHES 1,25O,0DO
First Quarter Total Near
Expectations Despite
Labor Troubles.
Fv the Associated Press.


DETROIT, April 1.-The motor car
industry finished the first quarter Of
1887 with an indicated output OF
l,250,000 passenger cars and trucks
despite labor difficulties that disrupted
assembly schedules practically
throughout the three months.
The figure was approximately what
manufacturers expected when they
swung into early production OF current
models last Autumn, and exceeds the
first quarter of 1885 by close TO
5000 units.
With the production of nearly one
quarter of its projected aggregate
total for the year in the first three
months despite the most serious labor
difficulties the industry ever has ex-
perienced manufacturers generally
continue optimistic over the prospects
of attaining the 100000 unit total
predicted earlier in the year as the
1887 volume.
The truce in the Chrysler strike
stimulated the prediction by many
| leading producers that the second
quarter Of the year would show an
even greater volume of assemblies,
although there has been a disposition
/ to qualify all statements regarding
! the immediate future. The current
months output is scheduled to pass
! the 100000 unit mark, provided no
! further labor troubles interfere with
assembly line activity. 1t would be
the first such month the makers Of
, motor cars have enjoyed since 1929.

said that the Eagles have a lot

tory at the institution. Beginning
with Bridgewater College, a Chesa-
peake Conference foe, the Eagles
will be engaged on successive
Saturdays through to Thanksgiv-
ing Day when they meet their
traditional rivals from Hampden-
Sydney College in Central Stadium.
New names on the Eagle schedule
include William and Mary, Dick
inson College and Mt. st. Marys.
Old rivals retained are Hampden-
Sydney, Randolph Macon, St.
Johns Of Annapolis, and Johns
Hopkins University.
Spring practice started at the
Massachusetts, Avenue campus
on Wednesday with light work
out, and Coach WEIGH expects to
do little more than make the
acquaintance of his players this
spring. Fall training will begin
early, however, with the Eagles
slated to travel to Camp Kewan-
zee at Natural Bridge, Va, for
three weeks Of practice in the
mountain region.
