FOURTH DOWN, 48 SECONDS LEFT—Chuck Mather shows understandable concern as he watches his team prepare to kick the field goal that won the Missouri game Saturday in Memorial Stadium. Holding the marker indicating that it is fourth down is G. O. Watson. Seconds later Mather's expression changed to a beaming smile. (Daily Kansan photo.)

Future capitalists might take a few tips from the half-pint, freckle-faced, red-headed newspaper boy who was in the stands at the football game Saturday. At least his advertising had all the earmarks of the successful entrepreneur.
Dan Schrepel, Pratt senior, was high scorer for KU with 387 out of a possible 400.
"Get your Kansas City Star paper here—four things in one. Confetti, seat cushion, sunshade, and the latest news."
The other KU scores were 385 by Middleton Tompkins, Long Beach, Calif. sophomore; 382 by Warren Riekenberg, Topea senior; 376 by Donald Johnson, Kansas City, Mo. senior; 373 by Ronald Strong, Abilene sophomore.
Services Held For Dr. Beamer
Private funeral services were held Friday morning at Rumsey Funeral Home for Dr. Raymond H. Beamer, 68, who died Thursday at his home, 1000 Missouri, after a long illness.
The KU Army-Air Force rifle team showed the way to the KU football team Saturday morning as they beat Missouri University 1,903 to 1,846 for their fourth victory against two defeats.
He was born Oct. 20,1889, at Halloween. He became a part-time instructor at the University in 1922, and rose to professor by 1939.
Dr. Beamer, retired professor of entomology and curator of the Francis Huntington Snow Entomological Museum at the University of Kansas, was an entomologist of international renown and widely known for his work in insect collecting and research on "leaf hoppers."
"Daddy" Beamer, as he was affectionately called by many students, and whose picture hangs in the Entomological Museum on the third floor of Snow Hall, was largely responsible for the museum's collection of insects, one of the largest in the United States.

Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Lucy Dunbar Beamer, and three children.

3 Rules For Vacation
Campus police chief Joe Skillman said today he expects close to 4,000 cars to leave the campus for the Thanksgiving vacation.
"Tuesday evening the highways will be filled with students and we urge them to be careful," Chief Skillman said, "and it is a must that they observe safety regulations to have a happy Thanksgiving."
Skillman gave three safety tips that would keep everyone out of trouble:
1. Watch the speedometer.
2. Obey all traffic signs.
3. Don't try to outsmart the safety engineers who made the roads.
"We are fortunate to have the Kansas Turnpike but we still need caution because most accidents come from negligence to obey safety signs," he added.
Kansas now has 490 fatalities from car accidents compared to 596 deaths at this same time last year.
Skillman added that safety measures should be taken in the vacated houses on the campus. He said that doors should be locked, furnaces turned off, and if possible somebody left in charge of the house.

He sank into a hard-backed chair on the band's platform, and glanced at the bandsmen who were carrying out instrument cases and dismantling music stands.
"KU Wonderful Place"
"We've been to KU several times, and it's a wonderful place. It's a better place to play than most colleges, and you have very fine facilities in this building." Mr. Flanagan said
"It seems like the kids, in colleges and around, like slower music than
do older folks. The older people want that snappy beat. At least I hope we've been giving college students what they want," he said with a grin.
"I've had this band for six years, and we've played for a lot of college dances."
Tour Finished New Year's Eve
"New Year's Eve we will finish this tour, and then we'll be in St Louis for a while," he said, as he picked up a suitcase and several of the light blue suit coats worn by the band members.
"We all set, boys? Let's get going." As the group left the ballroom, he turned aside to the reporter and said, "We're always on the go. Just haven't got it made like Lawrence Welk."
