I Begins Saturday
(Continued from page one)
t?n. A surplus of fine guard*
and backs txuu, with the and,
canter and tackle positions wide
open, and the object of much
head bashing among the fresh
men.
Big strapping Joe Wheeler,
freshman tackle, is sure to see
much defensive service this yesr.
. Harold L* key, freshman end, is
also being counted on for heavy
duty.
The team Appalachian will
field Saturday night in Winston
Salem against Guilford is a fsr
cry from the teams of the last
three years. Only one man on
the 60 man roster weighs over
the 200 pound mark. The backs
are, however, ideally suited to
the wide open tactics of the split
T. They are small, fast, and shif
ty. If sufficient linemen with the
ability to shake a few of these
scat backs into the open can be
uncovered between now and next
Saturday night, this Appalachian
team cannot be discounted too
soon.
Millionth Traffic
Victim Is in Sight
Chicago. ? Who will be the one
millionth person to die in a traf
fic accident? Where will it hap
pen? Exactly when?
' The National Safety Council
laid today the answers to those
questions will never be known.
If the present rate of traffic
deaths continues, some time next
December a child will dart into
the street, a homeward-bound
salesman will try to pass a thick
on a hill, a young couple will
hurtle off a curve on the way to
a dance, an old woman will be
come confused crossing a itreet ?
and the millionth traffic victim
will pass unheralded into a dusty
police file.
But even though the actual
identity of the millionth victim
will remain a mystery, the coun
cil has made plans which will
enable it to name the fateful day
as a climax to an intensive safe
driving campaign in which all
safety organizations are cooper
ating.
The council announced it is set
ting up the machinery to supple
ment its regular monthly reports
with special weekly summaries
from the states. On November
19, the council will begin issuing
weekly bulletins on the grand
total of traffic deaths since the
advent of the automobile. These
bulletins also will forecast the
probable date of the millionth
fatality.
"Our only purpose in trying to
identify such a grim date in his
tory is to dramatize the horror
of such a huge traffic toll," said
Nod H. Dearborn, Council presi
dent. "Perhaps 1,000,000 dead ?
almost twice the number of
Americans who have died in
combat in all our wars ? will
crack the apathy of a nation
which can see 35,000 persons
killed by autos in a year with
out much concern.
"It has taken a little more than
SO years to kill the first million.
If traffic deaths continue at the
present rate, it will take only 30
years to kill the second million.
We can only hope that this ter
rible day of seven-figure reckon
ing will become a safety mile
stone?not just another grave
stone ? on the road to more re
sponsible use of the automobile."
