Who cares if the Yankees are playing the Dodgers
in New York Saturday? The big athletic contest of the
day will be played in Manhattan, Kansas where the Ne
braska Cornhuskers meet Kansas State in their first con
ference game of the season.
It will also be the first Big Seven test for Coach Bill
Glassford, starting his first term as Husker head mentor.
All fans who can possibly make it should attend the game
and give Bill and his faithfuls all the support they deserve.
The team will leave from the Coliseum at 9 a. m., Friday, and
I think everyone needs to be there to see them off.

P.vniv 3fi seconds a fire breaks ''
out in the United States.
One of these fires could be on
the University campus according
to Don Cooper, Fire Prevention
Wek co-chairman.
Cooper and Frank Jacobs will
head a drive on the campus Oct.
9-15 in line with National Fire
Prevention week. Both are mem
bers of the Red Cross College
Unit board whic h is sponsoring
the drive.
Part of the work of the drive
will be to make the campus con

Red Cross will survey the entire
campus to determine where tires
are likely to occur. Reports of
the committee's findings will be

aid houses in detecting and re
moving possible fire traps,
Fire damage in the United
States alone amounts to $700,
000,000 according to the National
Board of Fire Underwriters. The
national figure dropped some
what last year under the 1948
level. This drop was the first
since 1940, and in part can be at
tributed to national fire safety
campaigns, the board believes.
According to the board's re
ports, careless handling or
cigarets and matc hes is the lead
ing cause of fires. Approximately
a third of all fires are traced to
this hazard.
An ounce of prevention, the
board emphasizes, is worth a
pound of cure, but just in case
they offer some helpful tips on
how to keep from being one of
America's 11,000 yearly lire vic
tims: (1) learn how to turn in a
fire alarm. Getting lircmen to
your home quickly might save
ycur life. (2) figure out two dif
ferent ways to get to the ground
from your bedroom.
Bull sessions will be held Mon

afternoons in the Temple lounge.
Coffee will be served.
