Upon motion judgment was rendered for Lewis. Willey made no attempt to invoke the last dead chance doctrine. The Court of Appeals in affirmir^ judgment held:
1. Where plaintiff pleads a situation amounting to contributory negligence and does not plead last clear chance doctrine, court is not wrong in rendering judgment against him.
