And by the wav, did you know that up north they sometimes call that “go-for”? Meaning get some touchdowns. Anyway, Wilkinson stopped off in Minneapolis and promptly somebody asked him about Big Seven football. Said Wilkinson: It looked to him very much as if Kansas would be the team to beat this fall. Oklahoma might have a soft spot here or there, but would be pretty good. Nebraska should be better and could cause a lot ot trouble. Nebraska’s Bill Glassford will agree in part, at least. Nebraska, deeper and more experienced, should be better. And, Bill will agree, the Huskers could give somebody the cold shoulder just when it hurt the worst. That is, if old man injury wili ust take his jinx and join up with somebody else. You’ll re call how injury kept Bob Rey nolds from being the expected jolting junior and jolted a lot of other Huskers out of action at critical moments. But that’s enough of that. .What we really started out to do was scan the schedule. It ain’t soft. sure, mere are signs oi a soothing start—maybe. The Huskers will get past South Dakota smoothly in the September 27 ODener. Then comes one that Glassford puts great store by. The Glassford Pladiators travel to Oregon and Bill says that’s an honest-to gotsh gong clanger. Then the Huskers come home for Iowa State and Kansas State. \ There’s a possibility that Ne braska could then be 4-0, or 3-1. But the fans would be football foolish to look back and net for ward. For the schedule then will show a solid arary of six slug ging foes awaiting — three of them to be met on foreign fields. It will be Nebraska at Penn State, at Colorado, at home to Missouri, at Kansas, at home to Minnesota, at Oklahoma. Every one of those clubs crowned the Huskers last fall. Four of them did the job on Nebraska’s field. And note, too, that Nebraska muct meet Wilkinson’s top choice —Kansas—at Kansas, and Okla homa—never less than cocham pion in Wilkinson’s years there— at Oklahoma. Riverside 4-H Club Goes to Neligh— On Friday, July 4, the mem bers of the Riverside 4-H club and their parents gathered at the Ralph Van Horn home at five o’clock and at 5:45 left for Neligh in Mr. Van Horn’s truck.

A DEDICATION TO SON IN SERVICE The hills are white in brilliant dress, I see a light across the way; Some little child is happy there, Contented at his play. Just so, this little lad of mine, How well I remember him at “seven”; When Christmas eve would come around He”d say, Mom, can I stay up ’til ’leven? For Santa then was just a myth His childish heart to cheer. Since then he’s grown to be a man; It seems such a little while Since I toptoed softly to his bed To see that dreamy smile. A whispered prayer, in thanks I gave, And bending down to kiss, I wondered what might come his way, As my hand clasped tight to his. But now I know, but can I say I understand it all? But just a few1 short months ago He answered his country’s call, And now he’s far across the sea, In foreign lands may go. With outstretched arms we try to give Protection from the foe. Christmas time is drawing near, We’ll try to be gay; But shadows creep across our path To mar that blessed day. Our Savior gave his life for us, We’re trusting Him so true; We ask, dear Lord, just one thing more, Bring back our boy in blue! There are many lonely hearts tonight With lads across the deep; Some cherished one has paid the price That freedom we should keep. So while our yuletide lights are burning low, In silence let us pray For freedom and security And peace on earth forever more. —Composed by Mrs. Merrill Anderson, Redbird m ' i————■—————tmmm——jfcaMfcJii g I WEEKLY CROSSWORD PUZZLE (J| ^.... 1 | Author j — _.

LINES! rHNr., Throw a line to a drowning person and with all his remaining strength he reaches for it—to save his life. Throw one or two solid lines down the length of a highway, and too many drivers ignore it in their hapless hurry to get somewhere fast. . . ^ But those, too, are life lines. Road markings at danger points are put there to save lives. Passing on the wrong side of the road, violating right-of-way, cutting in, passing on curves or on the right, failing to signal a turn or intention to pass and other reckless acts are utter disregard for life. Traffic gamblers guilty of these violations cost the lives of 11,000 persons and injured more than half a million others in 19 SO —and the toll increased last year. Have you ever been guilty of crossing a traffic line when it wasn’t necessary? Have you taken the right-of-way when it wasn’t yours to take? How often have you seen a squeeze coming and breathed a sigh of relief when Lady Luck gave you one more chance? - _ The life line in the palm of your hand doesn’t contemplate violent death' on the highway. Your future may be written—or written off—in the way you drive. You—and only you—-can make your driving life line longer. 9, - *'Vl ^ * v *_rt . — r —- ri- i ~ «■ • * ^ . i *'5^.
