IRA Regatta Triumph
Forecast for Badgers

its goth varsity victory in the
rowing classic. A Big Red
sweep would be the first IRA
grand slam since Cornell won
all events in 1858.
In the II years the regatta
has been held on Onondaga
Lake, Cornell has won five,
Navy three, Wisconsin one and
California two, in 1860 and
1861.
California, boasting a ell
record this season, and Wash
ington, with two victories and
one tie. are regarded as top
contenders in the varsity race.
The Huskies beat the Bears in
a 2,000-meter race, but the two
crews finished in a dead heat
in a 234-mile race.
Washington is seeking its
first IRA triumph since 1850.
The Huskies were second to
Cornell last year.
Calls Badgers Threat
Neither Of the Western pow
ers has tested its might this
season against Eastern crews.
Cornell Coach Stork Sanford
also regards Wisconsin as a
threat.
wisconsin gets q late start
each year." Sanford remarked.
They are usually at their best
by the time of the IRA"
The Badgers only loss in
four outings came at the East
ern SprintS May Is. Wisconsin
finished fifth in that race.
Cornell took the title.
Other entrants in the regatta
are Navy. Pennsylvania, Syra-
cuse, Princeton. NIT, Dart
mouth. Rutgers. Brown, CO.

the first"
when we first organized, we Sc
lected our men from various precincts.
We gave them two weeks training
in investigating accidents, then re-
quired them to take examinations. We
screened them down and got the cream
of the crop"
One of those making it was an in
tensely dedicated private named Al
bert Nicholson. Today he is Capt.
Nicholson and heads the AIU. One of
the changes he wrought was new look
for AIU vehicles. Unlike the tradi-
tional black cars, AIU cars and motor
cycles are painted a cleaning white
with green insignia.
The fact that white cars may be
easier to spot does not concern the
captain. They tried an experiment in
Texas not long ago." he says. "a radar
team stopped 80 motorists and told
them that IL miles down the road an
other radar trap was set up. They still
got 20 for speeding. Some people just
like to play cops and robbers"
The AIU is just as careful in select
ing its men as it was when Chief Liver.
man first organized it. I'VE want and
get public relations men," Capt. NichOl-
SON says. Most of our men have had
work in scout cars. Records are kept to
see if they've had complaints in han
ding the public. We get letters from
people who were given tickets by our
men. and who want to commend the off,
GERS for the way they handled every
thing. The idea is to make 'em do what
you want and like it"
The AIU is made up Of "a police
officers and one civilian stenographer.
It has eight cars, three motorcycle men
who are specialists in hitand-run
cases and six detectives to do follow
up work on serious injuries and deaths.
Every officer is a trained photogra-
pher. Every car has, as a part Of its
equipment, a IS nm camera, the small
lightweight camera now used by most
news photographers. I'VE were the
first unit in the police department to
use it," Capt. Nicholson says. Every
body was against it at first, but I in
sisted. The old type was too inconven-
lent, too hard to handle"
Each car also carries two types of
measures a regular 50-foot tape and q
roll-0tape, a wheel that clicks off dis
tances without leaving a trail. THAT
roll-otape was quite an improvement,
particularly when we had streetcars,"
the captain says. MANY times, they'd
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-03-31

belong or with someone they don't be-
long with, and 90, they just 60 haywire."
Alcohol is factor in most serious
accidents, according to Capt. Nichol-
SON. alcohol is not a stimulant but a
narcotic. Tests have been made that
have proved that even a little bit of
alcohol tends to relax a person. But the
ones usually involved in serious acct
dents are not the One-drink persons.
The social drinker, the guy who has one
or two drinks and cuts himself off, is
seldom involved because he has con-
troll, not only of his drinking but of his
car. It seems that the person with no
control over his appetites is not capa-
BILE Of control of his auto"
The large bulk of the work of the
AIU is the fender-bender type of acct
dent in which all parties wait for the
officers.

Pvt Moran also teaches photography to
the new AIU officers.
Our pictures show the point ofim-
pact and the direction of the vehicles"
Pvt Moran says. with picture there
is no doubt about what was going on.
I'VE had case where pedestrian
was hit and q driver held, but the
driver denied everything. There was
no evidence except dent in his bump
er. When a car hits a pedestrian it
usually leaves evidence at the point of
impact, like paint particles on the vic
TINS clothing. Then somebody found a
gallon can near the scene. It was
denied. We put that can against the car
bumper and they matched. II seems the
pedestrian had been on his way for
kerosene. We made a photograph of
the can against the bumper and showed
it to the suspect He knew we had him
and he finally admitted it,"
Pvts. Ed Shelton, Gary Pierce and
Norman KRAFT, the units three motor
cycle detectives" personally investi-
gated 3,755 cases of leaving after col
liding last year. The vast majority are
what you might call routine" Pvt.
Pierce says, mot hit and run in the gen.
eral sense. We clear most Of them up by
getting the parties down here and talk
ing to them"
A great number Of leaving after
colliding" cases involve parked cars.
But in a lot of cases the person making
the complaint did it himself" Pvt
Shelton says. "A lot of 'em 60 out on the
town, smack their cars against trees or
other parked cars and then the next
day claim they were hit while parked"
Such strategy is usually doomed to
failure. AIU men can usually recon-
struct a collision by examining the
damage and the scene. For example, if
a car is struck while parked, there will
be tell-tale debris bits of dirt and
metal, shaken loose by the impact.
When confronted with the evil
dence, the complainant usually 'fesses
up, rather sheepishly, it might be
added, and then is slapped with a
charge Of giving false report.

the line?"
The AIU is busiest during evening

Of accidents occur between 3 and 8
pm, the crucial period for fatalities is
after dark. Most pedestrians who are
struck get hit between dusk and 10 pm.

for them is between midnight and 3 to
4 am. That's when they're coming
home from the taverns."
The greatest cause of accidents,
the AIU men insist, is speed. st isn't
so much q question Of travelling in ex.
cess Of the posted limit" Chief Liver
man says, but Of going too fast for the
circumstances. At times a man could
be going 20 miles an hours and be a
menace"
The people Of AIU have learned to
adopt q fatalistic philosophy. Though
they do all they can to help reduce the
dreadful toll Of the dead and injured
on Washington's streets, they know
they'll always be busy.
AS Sergt Sadly puts it: IF there
were only two cars in the whole city.
they'd come together somewhere.

Once in a while officers will come
across spite collisions. One man de-

three times on busy Key Bridge and
then took off. Pvt. Pierce caught him
and asked him why he did it. "why?"
the man replied as he put up his col

There are five reasons why people
leave the scene" Pvt Pierce says.
