NO WEEKEND
FATALITIES
For Second Year, Delaware
Achieves Perfect Traffic
Fatality Record
TRAFFIC VERY HEAVY

Despite a near-record volume of
traffic, Delaware Monday had end
ed the three-day July 4 weekend
without single highway fatality
nor a serious injury. 1t was the
second consecutive year that the
state achieved such a record, ].
James Ashton, manager of the
Delaware Safety Council, an
nounced this week. AS traffic re-
turned to normal, state police re-
ported that only five persons had
been injured-none seriously in
IT highway accidents reported
from midnight, July 8, to 6 o'clock
Monday. This is the second Con-
secutive year that Delaware has
been able to mark up perfect no
fatality record" Mr.. Ashton de-
clared. "It shows what can be
done if everyone cooperates in the
interest of safety, and certainly
demonstrates that the effort being
expended to make the Fourth of
July safe and sane should be con-
tinued. In the final analysis, the
persons who used the highways
those who walked and drove-de-
serve a pat on the back" The
heaviest volume of traffic was re-
corded from to $50 o'clock Sun
day night, but lines of automobiles
continued heavy until about am,
Monday.
Pre-Dawn Traffic
State police said morning traffic
was heavier than usual Monday as
hundreds of persons, who had wait
ed over at resorts until the early
morning hours, hurried home be-
fore daylight. Trains and buses
serving also were packed as thou
sands returned TO .helr mines al

hot weather brought thousands to
the outdoor activities. Parks and
swimming pools were thronged and
there were many picnickers. Many

Among his many standout duck
pin achievements over nearly a
quarter Of a century, Paul Jarman
today boasted 1879, the highest
game bowled here this season and
the best single effort of Jarman's
long career.
The veteran star proved a SenSa-
tional substitute for the Hutchison

Major League when he blazed away
for a triple e-header strike, two
spares, strike. spare In his first
seven boxes. A split slowed him
down in the eighth box for a fiat
nine count, but he finished strong
with a strike and spare, with eight
on the extra shot.
It was the highest game rolled
by a Central Atlantic pinman this
season and seven sticks shy of the
top national score of 206 recently
bowled by AL Silverio at Meriden,
Conn.
With 120 and 1875 for his final two
strings, Jarman established a sea-
son record set Of 454. Despite his
spectacular 1879 the furniture quint

1t is peculiar how well 1t goes In

the fans cold in others. Take
Chicago for example, They can't

they turn them away at the gate
Detroit, on the other hand, has a

beats anything-pro or college
in any other city. We have al
most $4,000 people every game,

good recommendation for Wash

|SpIit T. Hard 70 Solve
Duke May Discover
Tartar. in Missouri
BY the A,soeiatsd Prsss


RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 6.-The
Duke Blue Devils, who never have
been accused of playing an easy
schedule. may have another Tartar
in their homecoming foe, Mis-
souri,.
The fast-rising Tigers will be
operating from the split T-forma-
ton in Durham Saturday, and that
offensive formation has given Duke
trouble more than once this season.
That the Split T spells trouble
for Duke was evident when Mary
land went up against the Blue
Devils. For three quarters the Terps
kept the Blue Devils back on their
heels, and only fourth-quarter
surge brought Duke that conference
victory.
May Be in for Trouble.
Considering the fact that Mary
land is using that formation for
the first time this season, and also
that Don Faurot, Missouri coach,
introduced the offense sto football,
the old grads returning to Durham
may be in for wearisome after
noon.
The drills that Coach Wallace
Wade sent his charges through yes
terday indicated the concern felt
in the Duke camp. The varsity
spent a long period trying to stop
the Missouri split r as run by the
junior varsity and found some trou-
BILE in completing that chore.
Hard work and long scrimmages
were in order at other Southern
Conference camps as the squads
prepared for heavy going this week
end.
The Deacons Of Wake Forest con-
centrated on rushing offense and
passing defense by way of getting
set for Boston College. Coach D. C.
(Peahea0 Walker was pleased over
the showing of his line.
Coach Rex Enright. whose South
Carolina Gamecocks meet The Cita-
del at Orangeburg, S. c., tomorrow
night, worried over the loss of Full
back Red Harrison as his squad
worked on pass ofIense and went
through dummy defensive measures.
Gloom at Raleigh.
There was some gloom at Raleigh,
where the Wolfpack continued
preparations for meeting with
North Carolina without the service
of freshman Fullback John Huzvar
The Tar, Heels were also minus a
fullback as word came that Hosea
Rodgers would not be able to play
in the game at Chapel Hill, N. G.
Rodgers, like Huzvar, has bad knee.
Coach Arthur Morton bad o1ense
in mind in the drills for Virginia
Militray Institute also. He drilled
his squad on down-field blocking as
two freshmen backs, Billy Stewart
and George Crowson, got off long
runs. William and Mary, getting
ready to entertain the Keydets in a
Homecoming fray at Williamsburg,
finished off work on their own
offense and spent sometime working
on an adequate defense for v. M. I.
passes.
