Judgment on evading responsi- bility and reckless driving counts was suspended.
 Notice of Appeal
 Attorney John F. Tobin an- nounced immediately that he would appeal. The defense counsel had produced several witnesses, among them William M. Gillette, clerk of the court of common pleas; Gun ther E. H. Mathes, local photogra- pher; Frank Rossi, coal merchant, and Philip Sabado; the last three to substantiate the claim of the de- fense that the principal state witt ness, Angelo Mastriano, a former supernumerary policeman, could not have observed the Crocicchia car, as he had testified at earlier hearings of the case, from where he said he was standing on Grand street.
 Testimony of Officers Walter Hayes, Thomas Bedding and John Walsh concerning automobile col lisions and arrest of Crocicchia early the morning of Feb. 28 was repeated. Operators of two cars which were alleged to have been involved in collisions with the Cro- cicchia machine, Albert Krul, of Oakville, and Rocco Longo, of 1908 North Main street, repeated their versions.
 Mastriano, who had told the court that he had been standing on Grand street and had "seen Cro- cicchia get out of the drivers seat of the car after it had been stopped on Field street near the side en- trance of the city hall, and the off, cers told different stories" from those related originally on the stand, Attorney Tobin charged. The judge asked whether the defense wanted to establish that perjury had been committed tand Attorney Tobin said he could "bring 20 witt nesses" into court to show that different stories had been told by some of the states witnesses"
 Delay Suggested
 The judge, however, who previ- ously had instructed Prosecutor Charles R. Summa to add 8 charge of driving under the influence to the original charges against the de- fendant, was opposed to further continuance of the case although tho prosecutor, on at least two oc- caaions, suggested such postpone ment.
 Summing his case, Attorney Tobin said that he was "at a loss to see how the state had proved its case" contending that there was mo evil dence to show" that his client had besn driving the car. Defense witt nesses had testified that test of the matter had proved that no one standing at points on Grand street could tell whether an alleged driver of a machine on the Field street location had emerged from the said

The victory of the Bewers last

They got off to an early lead and
stayed ahead throughout. Two new

ROANOKE, Va, Dec. 8.-Coaches
athletic directors and representa-
tives of the 15-school Southern Con-
ference considered proposals today
to tighten restrictions on athletes
transferring from school to school
and to limit college sport participa-
ton to -four years.
The Clemson -Furman plan, in
tended to prevent one conference
school from "snatching" promising
freshman athletes from another,
held much of the premeeting in
terest.
The recommendation would pre-
vent students transferring within
the conference from participating in
any athletics.
Existing rules provide 12-month
waiting period after which the stu
dent can take part in sports not par
ticipated in at another conference
school.
Richmond has proposed that all
schools, above secondary rating,
limit college sport participation to
one year freshman and three years
varsity competition during five
year period.
w. M. Couper of Virginia Military
Institute, loop secretary treasurer,
said he would suggest that Virginia
return to the conference from which
it withdrew several years ago.

When Dunn, Cuddy
Collide Tonight
Middies' Bout Tops Fine
Sentinel Program Of
A. A. u. Tournament

A couple of stand-up middle
fighters who smack Of the old school
of boxing will feature tonight's
semi-fnal round in the District A.
A. U. ring tournament at Turner's
Arena. They are Roy Dunn Of the
National Guard and Frank Cuddy,
unattached.
Dunn, one of the best but least
publicized members of the potent
Guard squad, which is in the thick
of the scramble for team honors,
likes to mix with the enemy. He
comes out with the first bell throw
ing knockout punches from every
angle, and woe betide anything he
hits. Always in excellent condition,
he seldom slows up as the fight pro-
crosses, but appears to improve as he
warns to his task.
Cuddy No Ring Laggard.
Cuddy is no laggard with his fists,
either, and sprays the foe with
both mittens once he brings his
heavy guns into play. Unlike Dunn,
Cuddy starts slowly, tries to figure
out the best line Of attack before
swinging into action and wastes no
leather. Every punch he mcorks
is thrown with the idea of ending
the fight then and there and it's
possible he may tag Dunn with q
convincer early in the going.
Tonight's bouts mark the 1889
tournament debut of Jim Brady of
Georgetown University and NAL
colin Rink, unattached who are
well matched and figure to give the
fans an entertaining bout. Brady
Is a strong favorite, but there is
room for an upset here if Rink is
in form.
