Seems All Making

Dixie's Rose Bowl Prides
Reach Coast Tomorrow;
S. c. U. Takes Holiday
By the Associated Press.

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 23.-
Tennessee's powerful football team
rolls on to the Rose Bowl battle
ground tomorrow, bringing West the
proud banners of Dixie and a grid
record unmatched by any team in
the 1899 college campaign.
Flanked by scores OF advisers.
rooters and football writers, the
Volunteer special is due to reach
Pasadena tomorrow afternoon.
Maj Robert Neyland, coach of
the Vols, sent word the squad will
go through a light workout after
arrival, with the heavy drills slated
later.
Injuries Don't Worry Trojans.

versity of Southern CALIFORNIA; grid

feat Tennessee in the New Year Day
clash, practiced this morning and

OF the two squads, the Trojans
have the least to worry about con-
corning injuries. Two backfield
stars, Quarterback Grenville Lans-
dell and Fullback Jack Banta, are
taking things easy, but both will
be on deck.
Tennessee has its George Cafego
knee injury to worry over. Conf
Dental sources from the South insist
the Vols big gun will see little duty
in the Rose Bowl. That remains to
be proven.
The same sources remind, how
ever, that while Bad News

be, young man named Bob Foxx
is some one to remember. as well as
Cafego's understudies, Buist Warren
and "Oh Johnny" Butler.
Couldn't Dent Tennessee.
The main reason the mighty Tro-
jams remain short favorite is that
their local supporters believe they
played against tougher opposition.
True, Tennessee did have a few
easy ones, but no team, easy or
not, ever was in command of a
game against Neyland's lads from
the Knoxville campus.
Tennessee always was in front.
Its record for the year, and the
year before shows no defeat and
no score for the opposition was
posted in the last IL games. So
it stands to reason the Vols have
something that hasn't been seen out
here since the Rose Bowl began its
famed post season series Is years
ago.
OF course, hope the Trojans, there
is an end to everything, including

NATURES LAWS
STRONGER THAN
AVERAGES LAWS

The laws of nature are stronger
than the well-known law of averages
when it comes to winter traffic acct
dents declares Governor Herbert X.
O'Conor, in behalf of the Maryland
Traffic Safety Committee, in his an
nual warning on the hazards of win
ter driving.
In proof of his contention, Governor
O'Conor points out that December,
with one of the lowest traffic volumes
of any month, accounts for the great
est number of traffic deaths from all
sources. Mileage figures for Decem-
Der are less than in any month from
April until November, yet the death
total exceeds some of the warm wealth
er months by as much as 20 per cent.
The answer of course is that driving
conditions take a decided turn for the
worse in December. Not only are
there from three to four hours less
daylight than during summer months
but most of this extra darkness comes
at an hour when traffic is heaviest.
In addition, icy pavements and the re-
sulting dangers of skidding account
for hundreds of accidents that are es-
capped in summer.
Everyone using the streets, wheth-
err driving or walking, is urged to
offset as much as possible the added
hazards which come in with the reign
of King Winter by concentrating on
these timely suggestions:
Since drivers are handicapped In
vision on dark or stormy winter days
and evenings, the pedestrian should be
cooperative by allowing more distance
between himself and passing or ap-
preaching cars. He should resist the
temptation to enter the street any
where except at designated crossings.
If walking on country road he should
keep to the side of the road facing
traffic, meanwhile staying as far to
the side of the road as possible. Fig
ures for last year showed that pedes-
TRANS are responsible for nearly 30
per cent of all traffic deaths during
December.
Skidding is dangerous because dur
ing a skid the driver has little control
over his car. The fatality rate for
this class of accident is very high.
Skidding, however, can nearly always
be prevented if the driver uses proper
speed, with due regard to the condition
of the street. If he is driving too
fast and applies the brakes suddenly
on a slippery surface, skid is almost
certain to result.
To pull out of a skid in case one
does occur, the driver should (a) re-
move foot from accelerator, losing
speed gradually, even stalling the
motor if necessary, (b) turn the
wheels in the direction of the skid.
He should not (a) step on the brakes,
OBJ throw out the clutch.
Poor visibility causes countless win
ter accidents. No other argument
should be needed for keeping the wind
shield free of sleet, snow and rain at
all times. When. travelling at night or
in storm, the driver should slacken
his speed in proportion to the degree
of reduced visibility.
