This race is a standard requirement in order to pass the Physical Education Course. From all rumors , this is going to be a race that will stand on a par wltn all cross-country races. May the besi team win. Low score will prevail. Two six foot youngsters are expected to furnish some outstanding basketball at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College seventh annual tournament when they appear here this Friday as members of the quintet of G. A. R. Memorial High School, Wilkes-Barre, one of the leading favorites in the tourney. Captain Albert BeBusftinsky, for^ ward, who is six feet, one-half inch in height and weighs 175 pounds, while Adam Miller, center of the team, towers at six feet four inches, and tips the beam at 195. Both of these boys were picked on the all-scholastic team of Wyoming Valley by the Wilkes-Barre Evening News which described Dobushinsky as "the cleverest, most aggressive, and best slip-by forward ever developed in that section." The G. A. R. Captain scored 205 points in 14 league games. J. S. McCracken, former Berwick High coach and well known in this section , is coaching the G. A. R. five and other members of his varsity squad are Levy, forward, Blaum and Meredith, guards and Jones, Katz, Moffitt and Harley substitutes. The team finished second in the Central League which is class A in Wyoming Valley and holds a decisive victory over Newport, champions of Luzerne County and winners of the Central League title. The team twice defeated Nanticoke and split even with Plymouth, while Berwick was easily defeated 46 to 21 in a game played at Berwick. The team closed Its regular season with ten straight victories and defeated Plymouth, Nanticoke, Newport, Wilkes-Barre Coughlin High Schools all away from home during the winter, thus establishing a new record. Nanticoke Has Good Team Confident of retaining the championship they won last year Nanticoke High School will be here Friday to take part in the seventh annual basketball tournament of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. The illness of two varsity men during some of the most important games took from Nanticoke the opportunity of bidding for the championship of the Central league, These men are now in shape and Nanticoke will be at its best on the court when the games open. Nanticoke was twice defeated by G. A. R. and holds two victories over Plymouth. Plymouth and G. A. R. split even in their games. There promises to be some flashy basketball when these teams get together here. The "Nans" are coached by Dick Leary, veteran basketball player and coach, who has had consistent success Continued on Page 4 Journeyed to Shippensburg, Friday , March 9; the locals lost a hard fought game in closing minutes of play. «• Kirker started the scoring and the game see-sawed throughout until the closing minutes of the first half. Just before the first half ended , one of their men dribbled the ball down 'th e floor , and after taking a few extra step& lie shot and made it count; then given two free shots from the foul mark , which accounted for the five point margin as the first half ended. The boys got back strong the second half and tied the score but Shippensburg managed to keep a one point lead until their rally in the closing minutes of the third quarter. Here they scored a few goals and made the lead increase to nine points. Wadas, who was not feeling well and could not start the game, was sent in to replace Yocabonis at forward. Though "Yoc" played his hard fighting game, he couldn't get his eye on the basket to score. The boys got back their fighting pep this last quarter and began a scoring rally. With a few minutes to play the score stood at 43-44 in their favor. Captain McGrath , though argu ing throughout the game over the decisions called by the referee was at last called on for a technical foul and their captain made it count , giving them a two point lead. McGrath was fouled and made it count , while Van Buskirk missed his chance on the foul mark to tie the score. Our boys made several atempts the last few seconds to tie the score but the referee called our boys running with the ball and the ball taken out of bounds. Just as Garrity was to take a shot from the center of the floor , the whistle was heard and that ended one of the exciting games to be played on that court. Kirker led the team in scoring and "Red" Garrity played his usual hard game guarding the opponents by his clever dribbling and pivoting. MUlersvUIe Game Unable to continue the excellent work which they displayed in the first quarter the Teachers closed their 1028 season at Millersville Saturday afternoon by losing to the teachers' college * there by a score of 40 to 32. Locals started with a rush and had a top heavy lead of 15 to 3 at the end of the first period. Millersville then started closing up and Bloomsburg was just in front 10 to 18 at half time. In the second half the home team took the lead and kept it. The Millersville floor is small compared to the size of the local court and that handicapped the boys to some extent, Continued on Page 4 The government adapted by the women students of Waller Hall is well under way. There has been no time lost in electing officers and a governing board. The governing board was chosen upon a basis of class representation as follows: Freshmen—Esther Harter , Florence Jones.

Kirker played his usual brilliant game and had 15 points. Wadas, varsity forward , was ill and could fee used but little by Bloomsburg. Kraynack started the game and showed his ability as a player and his usual fighting spirit. This game was the last for VanBuskirk and perhaps for Garrity, t o ever play with our college team.
