BETWEEN SUNSET SUNRISE
Over Half of All Traffic Accidents
Occur Between Sunset and Sunrise

OCCul DCtDCNA JoAAoCA e.AA0
In October, over half of all traf-
fc accidents will occur sometime
between sunset and sunrise, ac-
cording to Reynolds du Pont, Pres
ident OF the Delaware Safety Coun-
Gil. Mr.. du Pont said this is true
because this month marks the real
beginning Of the fall and winter
season, with its early hours of
darkness. For the next six
months motorists have a greater
chance than ever of having to do
more night driving" Mr.. du Pont
said. DRIVERS must realize that
even the best car headlights are no
substitute for daylight when it
comes to seeing things. takes
longer to see an object at night.
and still longer to identify it once
YOU do see it." Mr.. du Pont con-
tinued: 81 can't stress too strongly
the Importance of slower speeds by
motorists after dark. If motorists
would drive so they can stop with
in the distance they can see ahead,
our accident rate would automatic
ally be cut down considerably. At
night, it isn't too difficult to be
right on top of an object before
you even realize that it's there.
And by then, anything you do to
avoid an accident isn't much help"
Mr.. du Pont offered the following
suggestions for safer night driv-
ing:
1. Speeds considered safe in day
light are often too fast for safety
in dusk and darkness. Slow down!
2. At night wour vision is limit
ed by the range of your headlights.
Drive so you can stop within the
distance you can see ahead.
8. Be sure you dim your lights
for the other fellow. When a car
approaches, slow down. Your eyes

BALTIMORE, Oct. 22.-Tom
Fool was to have his first gallop
today over the Pimlico race track
where he might race for the last
time in the Special Saturday.
Although it's only his third
year of racing and he's sound as

The Special had been viewed
generally as the windup for the
colt who has started nine times

there's talk now that his fare

George Poole, assistant

about starting in the Gold Cup.

Indefinite After
Sound Beating
Randy Decked Twice
During Fast Bout;
Decision Unanimous
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Carl
(Bobo) Olson may not be another
Ray Robinson but don't knock
the newly-crowned middleweight
champion of the world. He's just
about cleaned up his own 160-
pound division and probably will
defend his title next against the
ambitious welterweight king
Kid Gavilan.
Promoter Jim Norris aptly
summed it up after the 25-year-
old Olson, from Honolulu by way
of San Francisco. deftly chopped
up England's Randy Turpin in
their 15-round title clash last
night to succeed to the throne
Robinson abdicated nine months
ago.
There's no one else on the
horizon for Olson outside of
Gavilan," Norris said.
Retirement may be in. store
for Turpin. although he indi-
Gated he wanted to keep on
fighting. His nearly-blind
mother, Mrs. Beatrice Naley,
said in England, Randy is sure
to retire now"
Turpin Cut Under Eye.
Olson's job on Turpin was
smooth, decisive and unanimous.
The balding, hairy-chested Bobo
cut Turpin under the left eye in
the fourth round. dropped him
for five in the ninth, decked him
again for nine in the 10th and
had him bleeding from the nose
and mouth.
1T will have to be Gavilan
next" Norris said after talking
to Bobo and his manager, Sid
Flaherty. the quietest fighter
manager team to hit Broadway
in years. IF Gavilan success
fully defends his title against
Johnny Bratton in Chicago, No
vember 13. the Kid and Bobo will
meet for the middleweight cham
pionship"
That was fine with Bobo, who
wants to keep the big paydays
rolling in to feed his brood of
three boys and one girl. Flaherty
said he wanted the fight for San
Francisco, his home town, and
Norris suggested New York. The
TWO agreed that the details could
wait until after the Gavilan-
Bratton affair.
Gavilan Willing.
"Sure, sure, I like to fight Oh
son." said Gavilan, the 147-
pound boss who watched the
fight in packed Madison Square
Garden. The Kid had been hop
ing that Turpin would win. He
felt he had Randy's number.

Takes Off for
Miami Game
Trip May Be Prelude
To Yeur-End Juunt:
Showers Expected

Maryland's football squad left
for Miami at 9 o'clock this morn
ing, a trip it will repeat in two
months and four days if all goes
well over the remainder of the
season.
Tomorrow nights date is with
a young University of Miami
team that has won two and lost

win the remainder of their
games, or even if they lose one
and Duke loses another, they al
most assuredly will represent the
Atlantic Coast Conferenc
against the Big Seven champion
in the Orange Bowl on New
Years Day. That probably would
mean departure from here the
day after Christmas.
The Maryland squad was
scheduled to arrive at 2:30 this
afternoon and was to go imme-
diately to the Shelborne Hotel
on Miami Beach. The hotel will
be the weekend headquarters
Of the Terrapin Club and the
University of Maryland Miami
Alumni, as we'll as the team.
No Workout Planned.
The Terps probably will not
see the Orange Bowl until just
before game time. Coach Jim
Tatum not only does not believe
in practice the day before a
game, but he doesn't want his
team to see the game site. In
stead of practice he will hold a
long meeting this afternoon.
There is a prospect of showers,
which will be nothing new to
Miami, which has had rain 81
