DRIVER EXONERATED
IN FATAL COLLISION
BusITruck Crast Last SUNDAY, Is
Held To Be "UnintentlonaA
Accident" by Jury

Concluding an inquest last Saturday
NIGHT into the fatal collision of an
apple truck and a Greyhound bus nine
miles south of Henderson last Sun
dav morning, a coroners jury ex-
onerated L. r. Allen, of Raleigh,
driver OF the bus, of blame in the
death of Samuel Vance Sanderford,
26, also of Raleigh, driver OF the ap-
p,e truck, who was fatally injured lr
the crash.
Five other persons, all passengers
en- the BUS, northbound, were injured,
none seriously in the collision, as
was the bus driver himself also.

to have "a veritable armor to keen
him from breaking himself to
pieces" How many high schools
can afford this kind Of equipment?
Is it not true, then, that the equip.
ment is neglected and high school
players are subject to consequent
dangers?
It would seem so, because 1t was
found by the Wisconsin Inter.
scholastic Athletic association that
the number Of injuries in high
school football was 80 per 1000 of
players, BY instituting a cam
paign for protection of high school
football players, this was reduced
in Wisconsin to 80 per 1000. The
Improvement occurred on account
Of attention to the following fac
tors:
Training coaches and officials ia
remove promptly from the game
any boy injured.
msistence on adequate physical
| examination pefOre a boy is al
lowed to play football.
Insistence on having a physician
available at regular practices and
games, since immediate and trained
care is essential.
Insistence that the school pro.
vide proper equipment for the pro.
lection Of the players.
Even when all this is done, foot.
ball is still a dangerous and bor-
ing game. Soccer football is a far
better game to watch, a far bet
ter game to play, gives more ex-
ercise and is more healthy than
American football under any con.
ditions.
