Although no school with two
league defeats ever has won the
Southern Conference football
championship. George Wash
ington still has a glimmering
hope of doing Just that.
The thing is, 1t requires a
series of results in forthcoming
weeks involving eight of the
nine conference members, and
the combination is more con-
fusing than that guarding the
main vault at Riggs National.
George Washington's part in
the plan simply is to win its
three remaining conference
games, starting with william
and Mary Friday night at D. c.
Stadium. Although West Vir-
ginia and Virginia Tech figure
to be more formidable in later
weeks, the Indians from Will
Harrisburg definitely are not the
patsies they were believed to be
prior to the season.
They followed the forecast

Stern Measures Urged

Traffic experts yesterday

against drunken driving

The recommendations, part
of a program to combat the
areas mounting transporta-

the Metropolitan Area Traffic
Council.
Representatives Of all near
by Jurisdictions in the Dis
trict, Maryland and Virginia
attended the session at O'Don-
nell's Restaurant in Bethesda.
Police, court, government and
armed forces officials agreed
to press for these objectives in
1861:
/. Wider authority to test
suspected drunken drivers for
the amount Of alcohol in their
systems.
2. Improved, but unspecl-
fled, measures for dealing with
drinking drivers and pedes-
trianS, and more effective CO.
operation from dispensers of
alcoholic beverages"
3. Public funds to protect
the innocent driver when the
other party is uninsured. In

nanced by higher license tag

insurance.
4. At least once-a-year in
spection Of all cars in all juris-
dictions.
S. A step up campaign
against automotive air pollu-
ton. D,
The council, however, turned
down proposal urging revised
limits on testing of blood al
cohol content ito discourage
the drinking driver rather than
just the drunk"
The group agreed it would
be too difficult to achieve such
legislation, but slated further
study of the problem. One So
luton, according to District
Commissioner Frederick j..
Clarke, would be to charge the
drinking driver with a misde-
meanor.
Among other objectives which
the council indorsed were
greater uniformity Of traffic
regulations, licensing and en-
forcement throughout the area.
