SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES

Here's a poem from the Delaware
Safety Council dedicated TO the driv-
ing public of america. It's good adj
vice in verse. Listen!
To pass on a curve may result In a
sWerVe
That will ring down the curtain for
you;
Or in case of smash or a hard head on
You may kill other folks, too.
Now there may be thrill If you pass
on hill
When you think that the highway is
But sometimes it's not quite as clear
as you thought
And your hunch may be just bum
steer.
Yes. there's many a spill on the curve
And the Grim Reaper's scythe gives
no quarter.
Reflect on the waste-and cut down the
Life's too short Now-why make it
You've heard the expression big
as a bOxcar,' haven't yOu2 a,
This would imply that boxcar is
pretty big. But it is still hard to see
at night, the Delaware Safety Coun-
Gil warns.
Fifty-five per cent of all collisions
at night between trains and automo-
biles are caused by the auto driver
into the side of the train.
A string of unlighted boxcars
across the road is hard to
see. And if you do see them, it
may be too late to stop. Approach
all railroad crossings cautiously,
even though it appears to be clear.

All of these teams are much
stronger than those the Hurons
have played during the first half
OF the current campaign. The
Kalamazoo game, then, will serve
as a partial indication OF Michigan
Normals true strength.
The Hurons, who have won just
one game in their last ten starts.
will face Kalamazoo without suf
fcient preparation. Very few
members OF the team are sure Of
all of their plays, this lack OF
memory having jammed up three
scrimmage sessions during the past
week.
Coach Elton j. Rynearson, irked
by the ineffective offense displayed
by the Michigan Normal team, even
went so far as to quiz each OF his
gridders orally as TO their respec-
tive assignments on the Huron
plays Thursday. only those who
pass the examination will make
the journey to Kalamazoo, he sail.
Probably two changes will be
made in the starting lineup, Ryn-

practice. Ralph Buckles, aggres-
siye Melvindale junior, or Dick
Karpinski will replace Vic Apple
at left guard, and Benny StandeE
will take Bob Gager's place at left
end.
Bothered by a sore leg muscle all
week, Apple may enter the Kala-
mazoo game for a few minutes OF
play only. Rynearson hopes 10
keep him in reserve so that he
may substitute for Lawrence
Tremper at center when needed.
Although the assignment will
probably go to either Buckles or
