Big Gathering
To See Tech
And Central
Title at Stake, Old
Foes Are Tuned for
Tilt Tomorrow

The largest crowd of the current
high school football series will jam
Central Stadium tomorrow to watch
the undefeated Tech and Central
elevens battle in the annual school,
boy classic which likely will decide
the 1888 championship.
Starting at $3.50, the old rivals will
take the field keyed high and at full
strength, with Tech ready to pit its
heavy and bruising plunging game
and a newly strengthened pass de-
tense against the more varied attack
of Central. Neither team has an
important player out with injuries,
as Central escaped unscathed against
Roosevelt Monday and Tech has had
time In two weeks to recover from
the few minor hurts sustained in its
last game
Tech Backfield Versatile.
In series competition so far each
has won three games. Tech has been
unscored upon and Central has had
its goal line crossed only once.
Today the two squads are holding
light workouts. In the last two weeks
Thompson has instructed the Man.
ual Trainers in Central plays and
has developed varied attack with
all four starting backs-Dean, Berry,
Gilmore and Bach-able to run or
pass the ball.
Central's quarterback, Benny
Steiner, is one of the best passers
among the current schoolboy crop,
but shares pitching duty with Tony
Di Blast and Jim Porter. Centrals
right end, Jimmy Clark. also plays
an important part in the Mount
Pleasanters' attack. being a convert
ed back able to pull out Of the line
to carry the ball on end-around
plays.
Each Has Won 10 Titles.
Central and Tech have clashed IS
times in series competition, failing
only to meet during the influenza
epidemic of 1918. Tech, scoring 1928
points, has won Is games, while Gen.
trail, scoring 213 points, has taken IA.
Five others ended in ties. AS to-
morrow's meeting likely will decide
the series champion, it is interesting
to note that the two schools are tied
in the number of titles previously
won, each with 10.

A casual check of the October fatality chart will show 19 days
 when no traffic deaths were record
 ed for 1888, as compared with eight days during October of 1887 when no fatalities were reported. October of this year did not develop any
 multiplp fatal accidents, either,
 which assisted in. scoring such a splendid decrease. October of 1897, on the other hand, had many daily
 contributions inc excess of thre deaths, which cause months total to add up rapidly.
 As of today, November IS, the de- partment's daily traffic accident re- port shows fatality total for the year of 276, as compared with 357 for the same date a year ago, This
 reduction of 81 is cheering, but prospects for maintaining this dif- ference are not too promising at this time. The margin represents a re- duction of 22.7 per cent for the cur rent year, as compared with 1887. This is slightly higher than the national average to date and main- taining this decrease for the year would earn for Connecticut warm plaudits from the traffic accident prevention world, as this is the third successive year that Connecticut has reduced its annual fatality total. It should be needless t6 remark here that it is mare difficult to achieve reductions with each success sive year. Indeed, the inevitable re- action is the other way and this may now be anticipated for the year of 1899 as regards Connecticut.
 However, everybody interested in traffic accident prevention should deprecate the turn which our traffic fatality experience seems to be talk ing this month in Connecticut, as it will require only few more deaths in November and an equally sad ex- perience for December-a month which yielded 60 fatalities year ago-to cause our percentage com- parison to drop below the national average and send Connecticut well down teh list of states reporting a decreased fatality total for 1888.

 FLASH !
 PLANES ATTACKING
 At defense headquarters, offi- cers sat before master maps. Nearby was giant map of the eastern North Carolina area, witt: light bulbs marking observation posts and positions of defense planes and anti-aircraft artillery.
 At five minutes after 4 a red light flashed. It indicated post Lisbon A." an isolated spit of sand on Cape Lookout "Three planes heard = flying high-direc- tion vest" The message came from Capt. Fred Gilliken, Coast Guard officey at Point Lookout, one of the observers.
 Soon more red lights flashed. The direction of the attack be- came apparent.
 Then a green light flashed, and kept flashing. That meant that defense pursuit planes, rising from concealed airfields, had intercepted the ""attacking" planes and were, theoretically, fighting them off.
 Almost immediately lights be- gan to flash on another course inland from Roanoke Island. A third attacking" force was quick ly shown moving inland from be- low Wilmington.
 Loudspeakers boomed with the code numbers of various observers and their messages Planes high east Plane low west Plane overhead" Within minutes the green lights began to blink as squadrons of defense planes made contact with attackers.

Automobile Fatality
 Rate Steadily Gains
Twenty ynine Killed in State This Month Compared to
 % for Whole of November Last Year

Connecticut's automobile fatality rate is beginning to climb as the year hears its close, the state de- pertinent of motor vehicles warned today. Thus far in November there have been 27 persons killed, while in the entire month of November last year there were only 29 deaths.
 Previous months nave shown fa- tality reductions as compared with year ago. Waterbury has had eight fatalities thus far this year, one of them this month.
 The departments statement fol- lows:
 October, 1897, brought total of 46 deaths, while October of the cur rent year developed total of IT, or 29 less than in the same month last year. October ushers in season of hazardous motor vehicle opera tion. Falling leaves, frosts and stormy weather combine, as rule to cause slippery raod seurfaces But Connecticut operators drove drove this year during October so as to contribute the lowest October to- tai traffic fatalaties in the history of the departments records. As a rule, October is about the fourth worst month in any year as regards fatalities.
 Every month so far, with the sole exception of September, contributed gratifying reductions to the im- proved traffic fatality total for 1887. November now seems to be on its way to be thS second month and spoil what otherwise would prove to be an outstanding year in Con- necticut's traffic accident prevention history.

 bury entertainments covering wide variety of subjects; such as ballet, music, an Indian play, magician, etc.
 About five years ago the Water bury Womeu's club presented chtl- dreil's entertainments by bringing marionettes to Waterbury every year.
 It was felt by the Women's club, whose childrens' play committee is headed this year by Mrs. w. A. Amelung, and by the Junior league, that the two organizations were du- plicating their efforts. Thus, they are combining forces in presenting a prOfessionla circus, ''The Gangler Circus" at the Watebruy Women's club, Friday, the day after Thanks giving.
 This circus will arrive in a large automobile and with their clowns, trained dogs. Shirley Temple pony, bears and monkeys. They will make a tour of the center, but will be ready to put on their show by 2 o'clock.
 Various committees headed by Mrs. Edson Hitchcock, president, are assisting in the necessary arrange ments for the event.

How ''Net' of Civilian Lookouts VIII Protect U. 5. Against Air Invasions
Planes Quickly Spotted In Raid On Ft. Bragg
BY WILLIAM s. ROWLAND NEA Service Special
 COrreenOrideflt

Ft. Bragg, N. O., Nov. 22-A vast network of civilian observers Is being planned to give instant warn ing of first sight or sound of illvad- ing airplanes.
 That such network will be ef- fective is the most important les- Son of air defense mafleuvers just ended in eastern North Carolina.
 Observers scattered over 39 counties from Roanoke Island to below Wilmington, 20 miles south, caught the sound or sight of every one of 33 bombing and attack planes, and reported them so quickly to defense" headquarters that 31 of the 8 were intercepted" by pursuit planes, and all were subjected to heavy mock anti-air- craft gunfire.
 The army, revealed Brig. Gen. Fulton H. @. Gardner, who was in charge of defense, plans to spread such civilian observation 'nets" over every vital area in time of war.
 DIFFERS
 The American air defense prob lem is different from that of most European countries. A Bel gian or a Frenchman, for instance, knows almost exactly where an invading air force will come from and where it must pass to reach vital centers. But the United States, with thousands of miles of coastline and borders, never can fortell the exact course of inva- sion. Therefore it is all the more necessary to pick up such an in- vading force immediately at the coast or border, since at 200-mile- an-hour speeds, every second counts in intercepting the invader.
 The first organized attempt to meet this problem was the North Carolina maneuvers. The problem was to defend Ft. Bragg against an attack" to be launched from some unknown point at sea.
 For two months, the army or ganized a civilian observation force" volunteers who would get up at 4 a. m., listen for planes, and flash the warning.
 Much of the land is marshy and sparsely populated, and IS sepa- rate telephone companies serve the district. These were welded temporarily into a single system.
 On the moonlit morning of Oct. 10 at 4 a. m. came the zero hour." |" Four flights of planes were some

 Father PurtiII writes, Every where we see signs that point to this dependency-in a too trusting attitude towards the press and the radio, in the ever- increasing circulation of sensa- tional magazines and tabloid papers, in the growing willing ness to turr over social and economic problems to the g0y- ernnient for settlement"
 'WhO is to blame for this in- telIectuaI dependency? Educa- tiOn, and particularly higher education, must accept a great share of the blame. The col leges are not doing their job. Their purpose is to make their students Intellectually inde- pendent by training them to think"

Rev. Dr. John Curry Walker, pas tor of Second Congregational church, was the speaker last night at the Davenport hall mass meeting preparatory to opening of the stan- dard leadership training school next Monday. The speaker said educa- tion and religion should go hand in hand and that education is an important part of the church pro- gram.

 Success of the civilian volunteer alarm system shows clearly one role which civilians will be ex- pected to play in air defense.
