SHELLY -- HEAD BASKFTBALL COACH The head coach of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College Huskies is Harold s. Shel~, fomer athletic director and basketball and track coach at Wilmington College, Wilmington,_ Ohio. Mr. Shelly, who came to Bloomsburg at the start or the 1949-SO college year, replaced Peter R. Wisher, who tutored Husky cage teams from 1946 to 1949. Before accepting the Wilmington College position, Coach Shelly was head basketball coach at Withrow High School in Cincinnati" In four years at the Cincinnati High School, his cage teams were runnersup for the city championship two years, compiling brilliant records. Mr. Shelly also coached at Milford (Ohio) High School where his basketball teams reached the District title playoffs each of the six years he coached there, winning four county titles withrut losing a single game. In the other two years, Milford was runner-up for the county championship. A graduate of Ohio Northam University, he won letters in football, basketball, and track, and received his Master of Arts degree fran the University of Michigan. His teaching experience includes twelve years of teaching in the public schools and fifteen years of college teaching and coaching. In addition to coaching basketball, Shel~ does a top-notch job as trainer for the football squad, and, when spring rolls around, he will again coach the Husky track squad. During the past ten yea.rs at Bloomsburg, Shelly's squads have not had a losing season. Last year they won 9 aid lost 6, and barring unexpected injuries to key personnel, another good season appears to be in the making. In two or the past six seasons, Shel4'-c oached teams have had outstanding records, including the s. T. c. Conference Championship in 19S.3 with a 10-2 record. During his tenure at the 11Friendly College", his teams have won 105 contests and dropped 64. Hard-working and affable, the big Husky mentor sets a high goal for his charges -- a well-conditioned squad, drilled to execute fixed play patterns, the fast break, and a man-tor-man defense. JOHN SCRIMGEOUR •- ASSISTANT COACH John Scrimgeour was a menber of Coach Shel'.cy- 1 s track squad for several years before earning his Bachelor's degree at Bloomsburg. After serving nearly 4 years as a pilot in the Navy Air Corps, Scrimgerur joined the faculty of the Bristol Township School District for a year and a half, prior to caning to Bloomaburg s.
