HUSKIES' HEAD MAN
Coach Robert B. Redman, who tutored
championship football teams at North
High School, Binghamton, New York, and
before that at Sayre, is the head coach of
the Bloomsburg State Teachers College
Huskies.
Redman, a World War II veteran, produced great teams at North High, his team
in 1940 being voted by sports writers as
the best scholastic eleven in the Empire
State.
ROBERT

B.

REDMAN

Before going to North High he was head
football coach at Sayre, Pennsylvania, his
native community, from 1931 to 1937.
During this period his team won four Susquehanna Valley Interscollastic Athletic Association championships and boasted a winning streak
of twenty-five straight games. He was also head basketball coach for
tw.o years, his team winning its league title his second year-the first
cage title annexed by Sayre in twelve years.
In the recent conflict he entered the United States Navy in November,
1942, as a lieutenant, junior grade. During his naval service he was
successively a n aviation training officer, administration officer of a
naval air squadron, and an administration officer of a naval auxiliary
air station. He held the rank of lieutenant commander when he was
separated from the service in February, 1946.
A graduate of Sayre High School, he won varsity letters in football,
basketball, baseball and track. Because of his excellent scholastic
record he was awarded the Dudley Perkin Scholarship by Swarthmore
College from which institution h e graduated in 1930.
At Swart hmore h e won varsity letters in football, baseball and
basketball and captained the nine his senior year. He also holds the
degree of Master of Arts from Duke University.
Coach Redman in 1948 coached the first undefeated and untied team
in the history of the College. His three-year record now stands at 23
victories and three defeats-one of the best intercollegiate marks in
the state.

HUSKY OUTLOOK-1950
by

JOHN

D.

CROUSE,

Sports Writer

Bloomsburg Morning Press

'

Bloomsburg State Teachers College acquired a new mascot in the
interim between football seasons. After Roongo III , a full-bred Husky,
had surveyed the prospects of the 1950 grid season, he was heard to say
just one word, "Ruff."
And "rough" is what Head Coach Bob Redman and his staff feel,
too, as they look at the coming season in which there are as many question marks as there are questions on an Army intelligence test-and
don't mention the Army and the draft when R edman is within earshot.
Redman and his staff have their fingers crossed, but good, after losing
a promising halfback and tackle to the 28th Division and nearly losing
one of the best small college ends in the state to the same unit when it
was federalized.
Beginning his fourth year driving the Husky football dogsled, Redman is faced with the realization that material is going to be much
thinner this season, both in numbers and in size. Two years ago, when
the Huskies were undefeated, they boasted one of the finest defensive
lines in the state and the 1949 Spring graduation riddled that group.
The 1950 Spring Commencement just about finished the job.
All-State end Elmer Kreiser is gone, along with two powerful staFting
tackles, Rod Morgans and Dick Jarman; three veteran guards, Lou
Gabriel, Bill Swales and Joe Albano; and all three first-line centers,
John Maturani, Paul Slobozien and Bernie DePaul.
Heading the roster of backfield emigrees is Steve Kriss, the all-stater;
steady Jim Reedy, a blocking back; and the veteran Joe Apichella.
Those are the principal cracks in the Husky masonry that Redman
r.nd his staff must fill in before the start of 1950's eight-game card.
Assisting the head coach with the tutoring duties again this year will
be John Hoch, now starting his fifth year at the "friendly college on
t he hill." Busy John also is Dean of Men, publicity director and fullt:me classroom teacher.
There h as been an addition to the Husky coaching staff this year,
necessitated by the sudden death of popular Dr. T ed Satterfield late
this summer while he was being operated upon in Philadelphia. In
one short year, Satterfield had acquired a host of personal friends and
professional admirers. Satterfield's death marked the second time in
four years that destiny had removed a coach from Husky ranks. Head
coach Alden "Lefty" Danks died of a heart attack just prior to the
start of the 1946 season.
Replacing Satterfield is Dr. Edward Paul Wagner, a graduate of the
Pennsylvania State College and a former coach at Donora High School,
the little Western State school that has produced such outstanding
athletes as Stan Musial and more recently, Bimbo Cecconi, of Pittsburgh University, and Arnold Galiffa, the West Point All-American.

1950 Schedule Tough
As has been the practice for the past two yecirs, the Huskies pby a
September game in neighboring Berwick, against Ted Casey's always
rough Mountaineers of Mansfield Teachers. The Mounties replace
Wilkes College as the opener for 1950 and the game will be played,
Saturday night, September 23rd.
Games with three strong and traditional rivals follow in quick succession away from home as Bloomsburg meets Lock Haven, Septem:;er
30; Millersville, October 14; and Shippensburg, October 21st.
Then, the Maroon and Gold returns home to take on the Golden
Avalanche from Kutztown, October 28, and follow by entertaining the
Wilkes Colonels, November 4th. The young series with Wilkes is developing into one of the top attractions on the Husky schedule and that
fact led to moving the game from September to later in the season.
Bloomsburg closes the season away from home with two new rivals.
Glenn Killinger's strong West Chester outfit hosts the Huskies November 10, and the College travels across the State to meet Indiana
Teachers, November 18th.
With that schedule it is going to take a lot of doing to maintain the
Husky pace of .the past several years. Redman's team has not lost to
a T eachers College rival since the middle of the 1947 season. The
Huskies of 1948 were unbeaten in nine games, and the Huskies of 1949
won eight while losing one. Going back four games into the 1947 sea son, Bloomsburg has won 21 of its last 22 games. The only loss came
in the 1949 opener when Wilkes scored a 21-6 upset win in Plymouth.

Reserves Pose Problem
As for this year's squad, there are undeniably some bright spots and
just as certainly some glaring weaknesses as the season is about to start.
Reserve strength, as important to 1950 football as tanks are to 1950
warfare, appears to be Bob Redman's chief worry. He has 20 lettermen back, but that number is deceiving in view of the fact that many
of those letterm en own much too little varsity experience. Some of the
freshmen on the squad of 45 show plenty of promise, but that promise
probably won't reach realization until 1951 or 1952.
Return of Ed Tavalsky when the Johnstown speedboy missed induction with the P ennsylvania National Guard by the breadth of a thyroid
gland, helps out considerably at end where lettermen, Russ Verhausky,
Bob Thurston, John Dietz and Gene Morrison also hold forth.
Russ Looker, Al Eremich, Charles Baron and Dave Evans lead the
tackle returnees, while Frank Perry, Don Cesare and Ardell Zeigenfuse
will be back at guard. Tom Schukis and Tom McLaughlin come back
to vie for the pivot position.

,

,..

Veteran Dan Parrell, line-cracking full back, and rough George Lambrinos, blocking back, line backer and punter, lead the backfield returnees. Speedy Bob Lang, John Stonik, Ben Burness, Dave Linckhorst, and Tom Spack are the other ball-carrying vets.
Newcomers at end are Jack Schaar, of Hazleton, Larry Bernhardt,
Tamaqua, and Charley Brennan, Towanda, who played last year with
the Husky Pups.
Shamokin's John Nemetz leads a crew
pushing the veterans for starting jobs.

of six new tackles who will be
Others are Bloomsburg's AllKressler, York's Alex Kubik,
Floyd Williams, and Frack-

Red-haired Mike Bernot, 190-pound Mt. Carmel firebrand, and
Buddy Glosek, of Shamokin, comprise the list of new guards, while
jayvee Francis Sheehan, and Vic Karycki, of Mt. Carmel, are the new
centers.
There are two full new backfields listed among the frosh and jayvees
who are with the varsity squad this year. They include Stecker, Mt.
Carmel, John Babb and Gerry Pope, Bloomsburg, Barney Osevala and
Alex Boychuck, Shamokin, Ron D'Angelo and Bud Bower, of Berwick,
Walt Dysleski, of Wilkes-Barre, and Bernie Hamershock, of Weatherly.
Like any football coach, Bob Redman is expected to fit his traditional single wing system to his material which appears lighter and
faster this year than in the two previous years. That is likely to m ean
much more open play since the 1950 team may not be able to d efend
well enough to insure victory with only one or two touchdowns.
Bruising power football, with occasional flashes of trickery, was the
formula for the well-manned teams of the past two years. Trickery,
with occasional flashes of power, could well be the 1950 formula.

.,

The season is about to begin and Redman and his staff have been
conditioning their team since August 30. It is a safe bet tha t when a
problem comes up during the coming season, Redman and some member of his squad will come up with the answer. That knack is what
bu ilds football teams and football records.
Champions can never be content to rest on their laurels, and the
Huskies of 1950 a re aware of this as they face a rugged eight-ga m e
schedule with high hopes of at least coming close to the records of their
predecessors.

Cesare is one of the best-looking guard
pros pects on this year's Husky squad. A
former all-around athlete :a t Old For ge
Hig h School, the big lineman is almost a
sure bet to cop a starting guard post
this season. He was out of action during

on the squad (150 pounds), Schaar is
one of the toughest terminals in the
Maroon and Gold camp.
He won two

Nemetz is being counted upon to fill a
starting role for the Huskies and may
develop into one of the best linemen
ever to wear the Maroon and Gold. In hig h

be a help to Husky basketball and baseball squads.

This 18-year-old Frackville youth won
three varsity letters in high school under
Coaches
Stan
Pakowsky

varsity.

MICHAEL BERNOT
Mt. Carmel, Pa.
Guard; Freshman; 22; 190; 6-0.
One of the brightest linemen among
the newcomers, Bernot is a good bet to
pick up a starting guard spot if Don
Cesare is not able to fill the bill. The
one-time Mt. Carmel star (played under
Joe Am brose) won four varsity letters
for the Red and White as well as letters
in basketball and track.
He is an exceptionally fine blocker and a savage defensive lineman. Sports a shock of red
h air and has the fiery disposition to go
with it.

If Uncle Sam does not take Roth into
the armed services before the end of the
1950 grid season, Coach Bob Redman will
have one of the best freshman tailbacks
in Eastern Pennsylvania. This big Shamokin triple-threat artist looks like the
best freshman prospect ever to hit the
