LIBRARY NOTES
Here are more of our worthwhile
library books.
Mediterranean

A saga o fth e sea as only Emily
Ludwig can portray it. It chronicles
the history of all the people whose
lives have been connected with the
Mediterranean, from the Phoenicians
to the Spaniards and Greeks of 1939.
Brazil Under Vargas
By Loewenstein
Professor Loewenstein, a specialist
in constitutional law, describ es th e
Vargas government as authoratarian
rather than totalitarian, a fairly wellliked regime personnel adapted to a
tolerant social tradition. His book
provides us with , the first thorough
technical study of the political, legal
and administrative set-up of our

MAN'S JOURNEY

Picked my way over obstacles great

Parted a path through the grasses

And finally reached the crest; with a

Viewed the panorama of valley Ufclow;
The fleecy clouds littered the sky at
their play,
The sparkling silver river wound on
its way,
Spread out far beneath in the sun 's
golden glow.
Likewise man plods on—and on his
way,
Picks his path through obstacles, great

Ever following his talent's call
And finally comes to the crest but

Gets no thrill, his enjoyment he himself has leeched,
For , he cannot realize that his goal

Litwhiler 's Bat is
Noisy at Hershe y
Philadel phia Outfielder Ha s Been
Poundin g Ball; Former Husk y
Looks Promising
Danny Litwhiler has been hammering the fences of Hershey Park
with such a degree of consistency
that the former Husky seems certain
to have his best season this summer.
Litwhiler has been lining the ball
of
late , not just occasionally but of1
ten . The Phillies have had no intrasquad games as yet , but in every
practice thus far "Dan gerous Dan "
has been socking the apple on the
nose.
Idea is Absurd
In an interview with writers the
second day of training, Litwhiler remarked that any thou ght about National Lea gue pitchers finding his
weak spot was silly. "Don 't you believe it ," Danny said . When reminded that he had gone thirteen times in
a row at one stag6 last year without
gettin g a hit , Litwhiler said it was
just one of those things. He then
pointed out his September batting
avera ge of better than .300. Fans
will remember from the past that
hitters fall oft' more in the last month
of the season than in any other time.

In Left Field
Manager Bucky Harris has declared that Litwhiler will again patrol left field this season. Last year
the Ringtown slugger covered the
right pasture in about 40 games.
Fielding records usually remain in
the background , but the fact still remains that Litwhiler holds the best
fielding mark in the majo rs. He had
a perfect fielding.record last summer
when he played the entire Phil
schedule of 151 games without a miscue.
Phillies are Snappy
The Phillies under the new ownership, hended by Bill Gox, and with
a new manager in the person of Harris, are being moulded into one of the
snappiest teams in the National
League. Numerous trades hnve been
made, and with a few more PhiJadel phin should have something else in
the senior circuit this year besides n
floor mat.
Usually weak at the plate, Harris
expects to have a better hitting team
this campaign led by Litwhiler and
aided by Babe Dnhlgren , Ron Northey, and other players who will come
via the trade route,

The basebal l bug has hit Dr. Nelson , popular director of athletics, and
he has issued a call for candidates for the college nine. Nelson had indicated
earlier (his sprin g that tilts with nearb y teams might be scheduled. The
warm weather last Frida y brou ght out some of the boys and more were expected to report thi s week. The initial pra ctice consisted of limberin g- up
and the Issuin g of unif orms. Because of war time problems , nothin g is definite regardin g a schedule , but Coach Nelson is seeing to it that his outfit is
read y.

***

Too many colleges are throwin g in the towel before the situation is
thorou ghly examined. Bloomsbur g is one of the f e w schools that has canceled no games as a result of the lack of man power or other similar items.
Despite the fact that many times there were only a handful of boys in the
school , the coaches and players were willing to continue. This has chalked
up a mark on the credit of the athl etic department.
***
Another college comparativel y smaller than B. S. T. C. is Elizabethtown
College, which has never had more than about 50 boys from which to pick.
This school has met the Husk y soccer eleven on five occasions, and lost all
but one. However , Elizabethtown has a percenta ge of nearl y .500 over the
past three years in soccer , basketball and baseball. Bloomsbur g is one of
the small number to hold an 80 per cent avera ge over the liberal arts institution. Elizabethtown has shown larger schools that the lack of material
is not a good reason for storin g away the equipment.

Walter McCIoske y, one of the best all-round athletes here durin g the
last ten years , is expected to enter the Navy this summer as a physical instructor. "White y," as he is known to Blpomsbur gers, has been an outstandin g athlete durin g his four years here in football as a quarterback,
basketball as guard , and pitcher and outfie lder on the baseball team. ' In addition he served as an aid to the coaches of several Junior varsit y aggregations. Bloomsbur g's loss will be the Navy's gain.

SPORTS BRIEFS

Lieutenant Paul H. Kellogg, of the
U. S. Marine Air Cor ps, has arrived
on the west coast , U. S. A., where he
is recovering from injuries received
while on combat dut y at Guadalcanal , last December.
Lieut. Kellogg enlisted in the U. S.
Navy, September 15, 1941 , during his
second semester as a Senior at the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College.
He received his commission as a pilot
and was one of ten members of his
unit transferred to the Marine Air
Cor ps and went to the Southwest
Pacific last October , where he and his
bomber crew saw considerable active
service . In a telephone conversation
with his father here on Frida y nigh t ,
he stated he received severe burns
on his right side and right arm , but
is recoverin g and hopes to rej oin his
unit within a few months.
Lieut. Kellogg is a son of Mr. and
Mrs. James E. Kellogg, of Wyalusin g.

College wrestlin g has increased to
such an extent that a crowd of 5,000
is nothing out of the ordinar y. The
grappling sport among the colleges
is so different from the " anythin g
goes," professional type.
®
Old time baseball fans wouldn 't be
surprised this year if the old type

existence. They think because of "the
"dead ball" the bunt , chop-hitter , and

Dean Percival Tooters taps bis foot

Alas! He hurries in with one crop of
