Ossie Bluege, with three years a.

at the Mats helm at least two more
years. This was assured yesterday

Bluege will be paid, but the manager

Bluege came in from his Silver

celebrated his 45th birthday only

Ossie, who first came to the
Washington club in 1922 for a trial
and rejoined 1t in 1923 to remain
with the Mats since, proved a
capable manager under trying war
time conditions In baseball. In
1943. his first year at the helm,
Washington finished second. Last
year, the Mats dropped to last place,
but this year they made a surpris-

"A well-balanced and favored
Maryland football team, with . l3-

pounced upon today by West Viz

A crowd estimated at 1900 saw
the Mountaineers take advantage OF

Halfback Bill Polling went over for
q touchdown and then made his own
conversion.
Terps Appear in Command.
Giving little ground at any time
and making the West Virginia line
look more than little weak, the
Marylanders moved out for more

Halfback Sam Behr trotted down to

1t was different story in the
second half. Coach Paul Bryant's
Marylanders still were playing good
football but the West Virginians
woke up and began to take part in
the game.
The Mountaineers got their first
break near the start of the third
period when John Pozega, left end,
blocked Poling's punt and recovered
1t on the Maryland 10.
The passing combination of Harold
McKibben, quarterback, and Dick
Maylander, right end, clicked and
the latter scored. Tom Jochum
failed to make the point. T.

Mountaineers began spilling passes
again. From their 44-yard line they
moved down to the l, and McKibben
passed to Bonflli for the second
touchdown. Jochum converted to
tie the score.
Although the Old Liners were
favored, tradition was against them.
West Virginia has not been beaten
on It's home field since 194l.
The Mountaineers have lost to

One of the toughest safety problems
is the fighting mans tendency to be
contemptuous of danger. Many have
been crippled or killed converting live
shells into trophies of war. Refueling
an airplane without first grounding the
craft is like playing with dynamite, be-
cause static electricity may touch off
an explosion. Before the United States
entered the. war CT on maneuvers in
the Midwest was filling jeep with
gasoline from 5-gallon container while
the motor was running. The gasoline
ignited and burned the soldier so ter
ribly he required amputation of both
legs, extensive plastic surgery and skin
grating. He was hospitalized nearly
four years.
Horseplay among high-spirited serv-
icemen is a prolific cause of injuries.
Safety men continually emphasize the
danger of fights and brawls
Life afloat is full of pitfalls. For ex-
ample, 'voids" are created by gases
from oil and bilge water deep within
ships. The heavy gases force out oxy-
gen, set up deadly traps In which man
may swiftly suffocate. Gobs planning
to enter such areas are warned:
BE sure to start ventilation about Is
minutes before entering. This will clean
the compartment for you and prevent
your shipmates from dragging you out
gasping like fish out of water, or
worse, as cold as a mackerel."
Unexpected Danger
One aim OF the safety program is to
teach men to be alert against unexpect-
ed danger. "The thing that has never
happened before is the most dangerous
thing because there is no specific way to
hght It," said 1t. Col. Harry D. Immel,
head Of AAF Overseas Ground Safety.

Prior to the center's establishment

UNITED STATES NAVAL AIR TEST

Sprawling over a 10-square-mile tract
