This is the name of what happens when two cars going in opposite directions try to pass each other on the same track. It has never been known to be successfully did. The eftort of two street cars on N. University avenue last night to perform this act was no exception to the general rule. A car in the hands of motorman Allmand was going west when it was run into by a car in the hands of motorman Roe going east. It is claimed that the breakes failed to work causing the accident. Allmand sustained a bad fracture of the leg and the cars were damaged to the extent of Í150 or $200. The oíd car carried a platform somewhat higher than the new car and when they came together the platform of the oíd car crashed through the front portion of the new car and slid over the platform smashing the leg of motorman Allmand in a terriable manner, and otherwise bruising him. The roof and ends of the cars were considerably disfiured by the shock. They will require much repairing before they are placed in commission again.
