Olander Warns of

a traffic accident.
Making it a Merry Christmas
for not only those at home but

Commissioner Oscar G. Olander OF
the Michigan State Police to sound
his usual warning of traffic risks
at the holiday season and to urge
motorists and pedestrians to exer-
else unusual caution.
THE last two weeks OF Decem.

this week. Traffic fatalities and
serious accidents will increase

and thrills, will be played down at
the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Conn.,,
where Princeton will battle 1t out
with one of their oldest rivals in the
game, Eli Yale. Yale according to
the bookies and Sports Experts will
be the pre-game favorite to beat
Princeton. in what promises to be
a Hard Fought Ball game, with the
winner, coming up with victory, on
the strength of her Aerial Perform

has a little more experience and
tact in this department. So, GAS the

the decision to Yale on TKO.

second to none will become real

shooting for another notch on their
