FEDERAL A D FOR
WORT£STODENTS

Bloomsbur g Alotted Port ion of
Work Money By State Division National Youth Administration.

College authorities have announced
that student aid in the form of working scholarships from the National
Youth Administration is being offered at Bloomsburg and will take the
place of similar aid under the Federal Emergency Eelief offered last
year.
The number receiving aid has no t
been released yet because all plans
have not been carried out and some,
students have not been appointed to
their positions. In order to receive
student-aid work the applicant must
be abie to do satisfactory college
work and show to the complete satisfact ion of the authori t ies that he
would be unable to attend college
without the aid.
Funds alloted to Bloomsburg were
secured af t er application t o the St at e
Youth Director of the National Youth
Administration.

BLOOMSBURG PLAYERS
¦ LIGHTENS SCHEDULE
Because of the "nature of the class
schedule of Miss Alice Johns t on, director of the Bloomsburg Players, some
change in the operation of the
popular dramatic organization on the
campus will be made for the curren t
semester.
While definite arrangements have
not yet been announced it is generally believed that the club will operate on a much lighter program than
has been customary during the past
few years.
Under normal conditions the dramatic club, as an extra-curricular activity, works on a standard estimated
to be as high as any on the Bloomsburg campus, and followers of the
drama will be sorry to hear that a
temporary change is necessary.
Members of the dramatic fraternity, Alpha Psi Omega, are now considering the problem of operating the
Bloomsburg Players on a different
basis, and they believe they have a
plan developed by which the fraternity will conduct the weekly meetings.

I NSTRU CTI O N CENTER

Thirty-Two of 550 Prospective Teachers In State Proj ect Study At
Bloomsbu rg
Thirty-two of the 550 prospective

A New Education
When a child of six or seven can
answer a ques t ion wh ich can no t be
answered offhand by a man of forty,
then m oder n educa t ors m ay feel that
at last they are approaching an educational Utopia. And that is exactly
the present condition of affairs, as
revealed by an answer from a tiny
tot who attended the Benjamin
Franklin Training School. The boy,
hardly big enough to lift a mansiz ed shovel , answered the question,
"How do you mix cement?" A man,
educated at the same time as this
little boy's fa ther, could do no better
than ponder and wrinkle his forehead
in thought when asked the very same
question.
What will living be like in the
very near futu re, after modern educational trends have been given a
chance to be displayed ? While the
case referred to above is undoubtedly
an unusual one and one not really representative of the comparative educational potentials of youth and
grown-ups, it certainly is one exhibition of what may be expected
soon.
•Educators have at last given
youth more string to play with.
They have gradually broken through
the formality of "readin', writin ', and
'rithmetic ", and have given the
pupils more of what they can use in
this practical world. Pupils of Grade
One at the Training School last summer made a "park ", planted am) transplanted wild flowers, made bird baths,
and learned something many parents
don't know; they traced the developement of food supplies, learned
how plants are grown on tho farm ,
watched cannors and the canning
process, and even planted their own
corn and cared tor it.
Two questions are sufficient to
stimulate further thought along
this line. First : Which do you
like bettor, a nice juicy apple, freshly picked , or a handful of dried,
rusty apples, picked a long timo ago ?
Second : Which do pou like better •
a nico, juicy program of studios, just
formed , or an old "dry " one?

Book Review
Honey In The Horn
H. L. Davis
The earliest years of the author 's
life were spent on a homestead adjoinin g a village of bred-down mongrel Indians who stole whatever they
could find loose.
At the age of nine he went to work
as a typesetter for a country newspaper. At ten he horded sheep on a
mountain rarfch. When he was eleven
his family moved to a town in
Eastern Oregon , where ho herdod

Spanish from Mexican sheep-herders.
Later he edited a paper In the hope
of making money from an expected
homostead rush . There wasn 't one.
After a few months of college he

He began composing poetry in the
army and printed some In Harriet

All of the characters in this book

very old legends of the country.
There is no intent on anywhere in the
book of offering social criticisms or
suggesting social reform.

against a smaller but plucky and
faster team from Clarion to capture
honors in the first game of the season.
A second team as powerf ul as the
first scored two out of the three
touchdowns made during the game,
thus showing the splendid supply of

Despite adverse weather conditions
and a rain soaked field a fair sized
crowd gathered to see the game. In
the opening line-up Stenko, a t ackle

Frackville and Shedloskey of Nanticoke, bo th halfbacks, played for
their first time for Bloomsburg.
Practically every man of the entire
squad played during part of the game.
The first touchdown was registered
when "Whitey" Moleski started his
ground-gaining with laterals on Clarion's 49 and finally went around right

himself through the line for the extra point.
"Hal" Border made the second
touchdown when he fell on the ball

PLAY BALL IN

STATE LEAGUES

Practically every player on the
Maroon and Gold championship baseball team of last season played in
organized baseball during the summer months.
Most of the players were active on
local diamond s, in the Central Pennsylvania and Tri-County Leagues,
while a few played independent ball
with some of the better teams in the
section.
The Tri-County League claimed the
services of Dry, a catcher, who played wltli Miffllnville, his home town,
and Karshner, who brightened up the
infield at Bonton,
In the Control Pennsylvania League Bloomsburg Teachers were represented by several. Moleskl pitched part of the tlmo for a strong
Shamoldn nine and did very well.

Waynesburg field and landed on a

Pennsylvania. However, the engineer saw the ball land and sacrificed
his valuable railroad time for a keen
interest in football, flatting the traiii

could continue.

¦Did you know that IMoleski of

VO TE S AL R EADY COMIN G IN

FOR ALL-TEACHE RS TEAM

Handled By Berw ick Player
With the acceptance by the majority of Teachers Colleges of the new
plan for the selection of an All-StateTeachers College football team, as
recently proposed by the sports staff
of the Maroon and Gold, votes are
already being sent into the office of
the Berwick Enterprise, the editors of
which have graciously offered to handle the choices this year.
The plan calls for the sending of
votes after each game, the votes to
be cast for the outstanding players
on the opponents' teams. All State

four games with other State Teachers
Colleges are eligible for representation on the mythical team.
were the two Litwhiler brothers, Dan
and "Woody. " Dan played a brilliant game in the out-field and
"Woody "was called upon to do his
share of the pitching. Also playing
in that league were Vershinski 'and
Finder, both with Shamokin.
Rompalo, who played second base
with the College, continued to cover
that base with a snappy independent team at New Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At Danville State Hospital
Riley played short stop, and on the
first base at Fort Wayne, Indiana, in
the Three-Eye League, that great
big whistling Scrantonian , Bernard
Kafchinski, earned a one-way ticket
into "big time atuff" with Pittsburgh, where he will live this spring.
Moleski, when he wasn 't playing
with Shamokin, pitched for Minersville in the Anthracite League. Karshnor also doubled up in his playing,
banging out doubles for Letteraen'fl
In tho Twin-County circuit.

Sport ing News Predicts That
Present First Baseman For
Pittsbur gh Is To Be Sold.

FINISHED SEASON WITH .383
Bernard J. Cobb, known in Bloomsburg as .Bernard Kafchinski , is conceded more than an even chance to
step right into the first game as a
member of the Pittsburgh National
League nine, accordin g t o the latest
edition of the Sporting News, a national baseball newspaper.
Cobb, it will be remembered, was
purchased by Pittsburgh from Fort
Wayne of the Three-Eye League,
where he finished ju st one percentage
point behind the league-leading hitter, LaabSj who goes to Detroit. His
final batting average in the league
was .383, which is high enough in any
ball league. The price paid for him
is reported at $3,000 and three other
players.
Cobble's three years of professional experience indicate a growing
strength in hitting and fielding for
the big first sacker from Scranton.
From the Middle Atlantic League to
the Three-Eye League, then to the
National League in four years leaves
little time for batting slumps or injuries.
Gus Suhr, the ^present Pittsburgh
first baseman, has been very weak in
his position against left-handed pit-; . . ...
chers. 'arid since most of the Pirate
lineup are left-handed he is having
a little trouble. Cobb, a right-handed
player, is conceded a very good
chance t o replace Suhr on those
grounds alone. All the Pittsburgh
papers have been "playing up "the
n am e of Cobb, using it in connection
with the great Tyrus Cobb of baseball's hall of f ame.
Another rookie player by the name
of Browne is expected to stand beween Bernie Cobb and the position in
case it is vacated by Suhr, and the
opinion of the Sporting News is that
the present first baseman will be
sold soon.

Editor's Note - Beginning with
this issue and continuing through
out the year the sports department of the Maroon and Gold
will publish a series of articles
giving the histories and important facts concerning the major
sports* such as football, basketball , track, and tennis.
rart 1
In origin,- football may be traced
back to the Greeks, who "had a n ame
for it." That name was "harpastom,"
meaning forward pass, and came from
the Greek word, "harpa zein," meaning a thrust forward. And this is
practically all that has been offered
concerning football in Greece, Julius
Caesar having taken the game back
t o Rome with him af ter the R oman
invasion of their neighbor country.
In Rome, the game became as national in scope and importance as is
baseball in America. Every military
unit, every military camp, knew football from beginning to end. It was
as compulsory to play football as it
now is to take physical education or
R. O. T. C. in our American colleges
and universities. The ball itself was
called th en, as it is now, a "pigskin,"
because it was truly nothing but the
blown up bladder of a pig; hence it
was oval in shape, and rather awkward to handle. It is generally
agreed among investigators of the
game that the Roman game of football was quite rough. However, records show that Augustus Caesar
made a complete revision of the rules
because it was not rough enough for
his soldiers.
Soldiers of Julius Caesar took harpastom along with them when they
invaded Briton. There the native
Britons joined the Roman soldiers in
the rough and tumble game which

At about the halfwa y m a r k
of the baseball season last year a
representative of Shenkland Tittle,
sports outfitters and manufacturers
of trophies, arose from his seat in Dr..
E. H. Nelson's office, puffed up to the
capaci ty of his buttoned vest and,
with a complete feeling of security,
announced that he, as representative
of one of the finest companies in the
country,would see to it that the baseball team of Bloomsburg State Teachers College would receive one of the
most beautiful trophies ever made,
provided they finished the season
without a defeat.
Dr. .Nelson, baseball coach, was
modest ; he didn 't say a word. But
he grinned, and ruffled his hair. "I ,''
thought he "will answer through action.'1 And he did; the baseball team
was undefeated. News columns carried the account far and wide. Dr.
Nelson got out his fountain pen and a
schedule card and sat down at his
desk. Again he ruffled his hair. He
grinned, and wrote. He wrote scores,
season's baseball scores. Then — an
envelope, Shenk and Tittle scribbled
across the front , another grin, in*
verted by the taste of the mucilage on
the postage stamp and f inally a trip
to the post office.
From that day on, Dr. Nelson visited his box at the College Post Office
with the regularity of a student in
love with his hometown girl friend.
Then , one day in June or July, there
came a package , all done up like a
Christmas present. Dr. Nelson grinned once more, bu t he didn't open it
ri ght away. He shook it,

But the package didn 't tick, so he
opened it. Ah! The most beautiful
trophy he had ever seen. He dropped
it on a cement pavement. Once he
discovered a phony quarter that way.
But it sounded good , t oo good t o be
