The Observer Some people still have the habit of marring the walls with pencil marks. The football team played a hard , clean game. There is no stigma to the defeat. Strickland Gillilan says: "Egotism is the anaesthetic that nature gives to deaden the pain of a fool. " Dame Nature is very sympathetic , is she not? Godfrey Ludlow pleased many people last Friday evening. Again , PLEASE subscribe to the Maroon and Gold. We wish to make a correction: "Eckie" Kraynack is Treasurer of the Senior class and not William Jones. The girls on the Maroon and Gold staff are asking for the student advisors ' definition of " tact. WILL HAYS SAYS "TALKIES" TO REPLACE PROFESSORS BLOOMSBURG SUF F ER S FIRST DEFEA T Score 25-0-Drop Hard Battle If the visions of Will H. Hays, movie pro ducer , ever become a reality college students of the fu tu r e w ill be t aught by "talki es" and the work of many college professors may degenerate into the routine of merely t aking class attendance. In a recent letter to President C. R. Rich * ard s, Mr. Hays stated , "We are now faced with the responsibility of audible motion pic tures augmenting the usefulness of the screen as a collateral aid in the actual process of instruction. I am ready to recommend to the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America that we experiment on a major scale , inv olv ing if necessary , considerable outlay of money fro m which there may be no expectation of financial return." Mr. Hays, in his lett er , asked Dr. Richard s f or his opinion as to the feasibility of the proj ect based either on research at Lehigh or upon his own personal opinion. In reply, Dr. Richards stated that he is favorable to the project , but further add ed that its use w ill b e limited , of course, to certain lines of instruction. He believes that the student s will mor e r eadily remember t hat which they have seen and heard than that which they have only heard. However, Dr. Richards offers the objection that students are more influenced by the personality of their instructors than by anything they study and the use of "talkies" will rob the instructors of some vital quality which would be detrimental to the students. A fighting Bloomsburg eleven went down to a glorious defeat on Wayne Field , West Chester. The score does not indicate the strength of the Teachers for West Chester was stopped * time and time again on the line. A clever run-back of punt just after the kick-off gave West Chester first blood. A straight pass won the*extra point. Time and again West Chester was compelled to use shifty end runs and passes to make yardage for very little could be done throu gh the Bloomsburg line. The game was hard , straight football interspersed with hard tackles and shifty runs. Both teams suffered injuries; fortunately, none were serious. There was no individual playing, nor any one star, The team played together , so each and every member of the team deserves a great deal of praise. West Chester, up to their old tricks , sent in the second string to start the game. Coach Booth was foxy too; he did likewise with one exception ,—Ca ptain Ruch at center. Bloomsburg elected to receive , made a run for a first down , and then punted. West Chester 's safety man took the ball on the 30 yard line , and , behind almost perfect interference , put the pigskin behind the goal. A forward completed the extra p oint with the score 7-0 By John Brewer ? Exchange f rom Brown & White, Lehigh University .

The Teachers seemed to have the edge in t his quarter for they played a more superior bra n d of ball than West Chester. The second period changed from a scrub game to a varsity game. Both teams gave all that was in tuem. This period was characterized by the relentless hammerin g of West Chester backs on the Bloom line. West Chester made yardage but Bloomsburg f ought every step of the way. The half ended in West Chester 's favor 13-0. Atkinson , 145 lb. quarterback , made brilliant runs for the outstandin g performance of the day . He twisted , turned , reversed , sliced , and made yardage all the time , Vid Jones made yardage for Bloomsburg. Sans shoulder pads , sans regular football pants , he hit the West Chester line for five and six yards every time. The third period was Blooms best period. They placed the ball near We«t Chester 's goal on a pretty run by Hank Warman. West Chester held for th ree downs and Bloomsburg received a penalty for time.

While we should devote plenty of time to specializat ion we must have a general trai nin g to use as stepping stones to achieve success in our chosen field. The Parent Teacher Association will hold its regular monthly meeting on Friday afternoon in room twenty-two of Science Hall. The business meeting will be called at 3:30, to be followed by a program which will continue until 4:30. The president , Mrs. Francis B.

Hayden, Dire ct or of Primary Education , Miss Ermine Stanton, Teacher of First Grade , Miss Mabel Moyer, Teacher of Second Grade , Miss Lucile Baker, Teacher of Third Grade.
