Greensboro, Sept. 2S-Dukes biue
Devils and v. P. us GoDDierS coiue
toeetber in an important Southern
conferences clash in Memorial sta-
di,,ro here tomorrow night which IS
exnected to attract capacity crow ~
fba came will start at 8 O'Clock.
It will be the opening game for the
Blue Devils and will officially lnaugu-
rate wallace Wade's goth season as
q football coach.
Tt will be the Gobblers' first con-
ference test but their second game
of the season. Last week they snow
ed great promise by running rougn-
shod over an Emory and Henry team
that was any thing but weak. Y. r:
I. took the contest, 1870, and stayed
undercover throughout. :.
While the Blue Devils have the
edge in weight, they are probably not
as experienced as the GoDblers ana
they do not have any more reserves
than Coach Puss Redd has at the
Virginia institution this year.
It looms as fine opening engage
uaent. The Gobblers have worked
hard in preparation for the contest
and are "loaded for bear" According
to reports from Blacksburg, they feel
they can offer much better game
than last year when Duke was hard
pressed to get a $50 win. In that
game the Gobblers matched the Blue
Devils in yards gained but lacked a
scoring punch.
Coach Wade admits the Blue Devils
are still in an experimental stage and
the Duke mentor will be. watching
the play of his guarterbacks,s more
than any other department in this
opening engagement. While there are
still things to work out in the build
ing of this years team that quarter
back problem is now the greatest Of
II. ~ 4a- ass fl
A pair of sophomores are listed in
the starting lineups of each team.
Coach Redd OF the Gobblers will have
Jimmy FIX, quarterback, and George
Warmer, fullback, both of whom
starred in the opener with Emory
nd Henry, in his starting backfield.

R. R. CROSSING
 DEATHS ON GAIN
States Record Exception to Impressive Toll
 Taken in Nation

While only three passengers lost their lives in train accidents on railroads in this country in 1887, during that same year 1878 persons met death at highway railroad grade crossings, it was stated by New Haven Railroad officials to- day in issuing the annual plea for caution on the part of motorists in this state in approaching and driv- ing over grade crossings.
 With the amount of traffic in- creasing in proportion to the rise in temperature, the hazard of grade crossing accidents increases, but Connecticut's good record with re- spect to accidents of this type can be maintained by the exercise of or- dinary vigilance on the part of mo. torists wherever the highways in- tersect with railroad tracks, it was pointed out.
 Exception
 Although Connecticut has been an exception to the rule, the num- Der of highway accident fatal ities throughout the country have been increasing steadily in every year since 1883 when the number killed in such crashes was 1,511. The total grade crossing deaths reached their peak in 1928 when there were 2,568 fatalities, and then declined steadily until 1883. In 1884 the trend was reversed.
 The fact that several grade cross- ings have been eliminated in the past few years, and the fact that there are no such crossings at all on the New Haven Railroads elec- trified main track between New Ha- ven and New York have aided great ly in preventing as similar trend in Connecticut although some crossing accidents do occur. These, railroad officials state, could be entirely eliminated if all autoists would ap- preach crossings with the same pre- caution they do at an ordinary street intersection. This they do not always do, as is evidenced not only by the number of fatalities in the country at large but also by the fact that in approximately one- third of the cases the autos actually strike trains when the trains are already moving over the crossings.
 130 Crossings
 There are less than 13O rail cross- ings at grade on the Connecticut Trunk Line and State Aid systems of highways, and every one of them Is protected by flashing red signal lamps which are flashed on and of continuously when train is within approximately half a mile of the crossing. When these red signals are flashing, motorists should stop and make no attempt to proceed over the rails. Moreover, if the light should continue to flash | after a train has passed, no attempt should be made to cross. The con- tinued flashing means that another | train is approaching. For additional protection, the New Haven railroad | requires its locomotive engineers to | sound their whistles for a prolonged period and to repeat until the grade crossing is reached, so that ample warning is given of a trains ap- preach.

Unexpected Thrill For School "Kids"

Smoke pouring from 8 burn ing bucket of sulphur being used for fumigation purposes brought firemen early this af- ternOOn to a garage and work shop in the rear of 195 Pied mont street.
 Several hundred eager young sters, on their way to after noon classes at Hopeville school, across the street, gathered around the firemen, perhaps in hopes that it might be the school on fire, but were disap- pointed. The old wooden annex of the school was destroyed by fire last year, affording the youngsters a holiday.
 There was no damage.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
 GET PAID TODAY

It was pay day for numerous Wa terbury school teachers today al- though the regular pay day was yesterday.
 Seems that due to some slip in the office of Controller Sherwood L. Rowland, the signature of the controller was not appended to nu- merous of the checks which arrived late at hall the city schools yester- day.
 Thus, in the rain yesterday and today, teachers formed a parade to the office of the controller to get the missing signature. And, as the saying goes, were they burned up."
