NEWS OF THE MOTORING WORLD
Plans Almost Completed for National Dealers Sessions Here
Week; Keystone, A. A. A. and Petroleum Notes

>"Easy does it," says the Keystone
Automobile Club in advising mo-
torists to beware of the pitfalls of
winter driving.
"The trouble with a lot Of u.s."
said Edward P. Curran, safety di-
rector of the club, lis that we are
inclined to minimize the danger of
slippery roads and consequently
drive at a speed faster than condiI
tions warrant. Slower and more
cautious driving will aid greatly IN
preventing accidents and most GER
tainly will lessen the effects of un.
avoidable crashes.
"In the last week we have noted
vastly increased damage in acci-
dents which ordinarily would have
resulted In slight loss. The reason
is that cars out of control on Slip
perry roads strike with tremendous
force. Collisions at intersections
which under ordinary circumstances
would have resulted in nothing more
serious then dented tenders become
major accidents when the condi-
tion of the highway makes brakes
ineffective.
Another point to keep always in
mind is that green traffic light
permits forward progress, but does
not command it. There is no COM
pulsion on a driver to start imme-
diately on change in signals when
IL chn1ll1 no obyrin
approaching from the side may
have difficulty in stopping Every
operator knows from his own ex.
perience that it is not always possi-
BILE, even on dry pavement, to stop
when a green light suddenly turns
to red. The breaks should be given
| to the car in motion.
ut is well also to remember that
while the highway departments of
the various States perform tre-
mendous job in clearing the roads
of snow and keeping dangerous To-
cations cindered, changing weather
conditions pile up hazards faster
than highway workers can keep
abreast of them. The motorist
should never assume that he won't
encounter slippery stretches of pave
ment."
From another motor club come
more safety hints.
With the tide of winter travel be-
ginning to get under way, WASH
ington /. Cleveland, manager, Dis
trict of Columbia division of the
American Automobile Association,
today warned motorists to beware of
livestock roaming on the highways
when driving through Southern
States.
Despite the cooperative efforts
between the A. A. A. and many
groups within the 'highway-pasture'
States Mr.. Cleveland said, Mis-
souri, was the only State to adopt a
law compelling owners of livestock
to keep their animals behind fences.
Arkansas 'devalued' cows by pre-
venting suits against motorists who
run over them in the highway, but
all other States, particularly in the
Southeast, where the problem is the
worst, left the situation as bad as
it was before"

ner's suit defending against an
adverse suit contract, it is some
times advisable not to lead it be-
cause of the likelihood that you
will not realize any tricks in that
suit.
Partner has bid hearts and oppo-
nents reached spade contract. The
proper lead is the queen of dia-
monds. One of the opponents surely
has a singleton in hearts. If part
ner has the ace he can win it later.
If opponents have it no heart is
available to you. You should use
this one lead to attempt to build up

When a colortul player. after bid

lar, reaches a grand slam contract

playing, all the kibitzers get thrill.
Such an instance occurred recent
ly when Warren Jones, playing with

made a grand slam in hearts on the

Columbus Gains Even

L. S. U. Fighter Counted
Out on Feet in Scrap
That DeudIocks Meet

Columbus University's Explorers
survived rough sailing in the early
stages of their match with Louisiana
Tech and finished with a maelstrom
of mittens to gain a A tie with the
visitors last night at Turner's Arena
Oddly enough six of the eight de-
cisions were unanimous. One was
split and the last was a bit on the
curious side. Referee Ray Bowen
counted out Ed Roberts of Tech as
he stood by the ropes after being
dropped by Lou Hayman, apparently
waiting the officials order to resume
fighting. Bowen ruled Roberts made
no move to resume fighting at nine
and awarded the decision to Hay
man.
Louisiana was one of the best
balanced collegiate teams to show
here this winter Like Columbus, it
presented scrambled lineup,
possibly to Offset Coach Jim Nc
Namara's weight juggling, and was
tremendously successful. Tech won
the first three bouts as Bobby Hand
and Joe WojecA decisioned Leonard
Lehrner and Lou Taub, respectively,
and Ray Walton won by a technical
knockout over Stanley Stephenson.
Buddy Lazear, who with Bill Crum
and Hayman closed out his collegiate
career last night, scored Columbus
first knockout, sending Bill Maxwell
to the canvas with series of poker
hot lefts to the body. It went only
so seconds.
Charley Cox and Bill Crum added
victories to that of Lou Hayman in
the last three matches, whipping
Dwaine Martin and Rip Pipes,
respectively, to pull Columbia up on
even terms. Cox, apparently spent
and on the defensive in the final
round of the bout, suddenly whip
ped over a stiff right that sent the
surprised Martin straddle-legged to
the deck to clinch the honors. His
was the most decisive victory of the
evening.

George Washington High School
took the lead in the Virginia Central
District Conference by squirting in
the last quarter to reverse an early
defeat by Hopewell High in a 24-to-
81 rugged game at Alexandria.
George Washington now has seven
victories and one defeat, while Hope
well has won seven and lost two. the
other being to John Marshall High
of Richmond.
Although sparkling in the last four
minutes, the Presidents missed many
chances at the basket, particularly
in the opening half. Hopewell, which
licked Westinghouse Friday night,
also was of form and after showing
the way throughout the first three
quarters, fell back when its star, Ray
keenan,, was forced to retire because
of personal fouls.
Cliff Slightly Hurt.
The game was rough-and-tumble
affair all the way. In the first
quarter, Charles Hughes of Hope
well banged against the wall behind
G. WIS goal and injured his hand.
In the third period, Amos Cliff, who
tailed 10 points for the winners,
suffered a slight back injury after
falling during a general mixup.
George Washington was weak
from the charity line. Ed Williams
missed four chances in a row, but
a free toss in the last minute stopped
cold Hopewell's threat to recapture
the lead.
keenan, and Hughes combined to
put the visitors into a 10-to-5 lead
in the first quarter as the Presidents
stars had trouble hitting their stride.
In the second quarter, Cliff and Ed
Snyder helped cut 2 points of this
lead and the eventual winners
trailed at the half, 13 to 10.
G. w. Free Shots Help.
Cliff was the big gun in the Alex
andrians' drive in the last half and
scored three goals and two fouls
finally to put his team into a o.

a foul to cut that lead to / point,
