many bad spots, but there were also good ones. At present, Bloomsbur g 's
position in the conference is a low tenth with th e possibility of going a
notch lower or higher aft er the other teams decide how things will come
out this weekend. The complete season 's record of seven wins in seventeen
starts is not particularly impressive, but wi th a few strokes of luck here
and there in the Lock Haven , Mansfield and West Chester games near the
end of the season , an equal margin above the .500 mark co'uld easily have

ton is Beaten

The curtain was drawn on the 1947 basketball season last Saturday night
when Scranton University defeated the Huskies, 32-34 , in Centennial Gymnasium. For the seventeen game schedule , t he Maroon and G o ld sh owed
seven victories as against ten fosses.
Both clubs were off on their shooting, Scranton boasting a mark of .213,
and the Huskies an anemic .141. It was the lowest average by far that the
local cagers have turned in all year.
Kashner Is Scoreless
One of the reasons for the Huskies ' low av erage was the fact that highscoring Bobby Kashner went through the evening without a single point.
Until last Saturday evening, Kashner had scored twelve or more points in
each home game.
Eddie Jones, Paul Slobozien , and Joe CIvasney took care of the brunt oi'
the Bloomsburg scoring, Jones and Slobozien each getting eight , and Chesney seven.
Bad Foul Shooting:
Not only was the shooting very poor from the field goal standpoint , but
tire same was true from the foul line , the Huskies nettin g only twelve of 22
and the Royals caging ten of 21.
For Scranton , Mik e DeNoia led the scoring with thirteen points while
Bill Griglock showed ten. Koioj eski's shooting average of .286 was tops for
the evening. Tommy Notchick played a fine game before leaving on personals late in the third period . DeNoi. . was also ej ected in the fourth quarter for
five personals.
First Period
At the tip-ofl , the Huskies took the floor with two seniors playing their
last game, Vince Washvilla starting at left forward , and Joe Chesney taking
the center spot.
In the first minute of play, the Maroon and Gold looked grea t with Slobozien and Chesney sinking long shots in two attempts. DeNoia broke the
ice for Scranton with a lay-up. Slobozien caged a foul. Notchick and Kolaj eski both hit to put the visitors*^ ahead , 6-5.
Chesney tied it up with a foul goal , and Jones hit the mark from the
right side. Notchick knotted things up with a net-swisher from the side.
Kolajeski and Chesney matched foul shots. Then Griglock put the Royals in
front , 11-9, and from then on they were never headed.
DeNoia caged two successive field goals, but Washvilla got one in close,
and Slobozien whipped the chords from well out to make the score 15-13,
Scranton , at the first period mark.
Listless Quarter
The second period showed little in the way of scoring as the two teams
time after time missed shots. DeNoia made a foul goal and Kolajeski two.
Jones got one from the left side, and Washvilla shot a perfect pass to Arduini who was good on a lay-up to put Bloom back in the game.
Notchick netted a foul , and DeNoia came through with two more points.
Walther made one of his two attempted foul shots. Griglock' s one handed
push shot was good and Scranton led at Nai f-lime. 23-18.
Thi r d Peri od
Play continued to possess little success in shooting durin g the third quarter as both teams fouled frequently. A fte r two minutes had passed Chesney
got a foul goal for Bloom. Griglock draped the nets from the right side , and
DeNoia hit with a long one. Jones once more came through with a long shot.
Arduini and Jones converted foul shots , and Georgie Paternoster was good
from in close as the Bloom fans once more sa\ on the edge of their seats in
preparation for what might have been ;i thrilling finiYh.
With Scranton ahead only by 27-25 , they proceeded to do something
about the matter. DeNoia and Griglock pushed ,,in field goals and Kolajeski
made a foul as the third quarter ended, rhc Tommies leading comfortable.
afl-ssFi .
Only Six Field Goals
The last period proved a listless one; as both clubs continued frequent
fouling. Only six field goals were recorded , three by each team . Lefty Olshei'ski started things ofi with a one h«md< d push shot. Slobozien and Jones
added foul goals and Arduini brought a ray of hope with a field goal.

This was short lived , however , for Olshefski caged a foul , and Griglock
made his favorite , a one handed pu.-:h shot. Pntemo.stcr got a foul and Slobozien hit from well out tp make it 37-32 w ith t h n r and a hall " minutes to go .
Play then slowed up as Bartkowski made Iliree foul goals to sew up the

'Vincent Washvilla and J o s ep h
Chesney, both of Mt. Carmel, wrote
"fini s" to their collegiate basketball
careers last Saturday night in Centennial Gymnasium against Scranton
University.
Both entered Bloomsburg in September , 1940 , and played four years
of basketball. Chesney immediately
broke into the starting line-up of a
combination that was hard to beat—
Wali n ch u s, H e r r , Kerchusky, McTDloskey . He worked at guard with
the defensive wizard , McCloskey.
Wi th Kerchusky graduating in May,
1941 , Chesney was moved to the centc.i- post the following year, a spot
which he has filled most of the time
since (hen except for three years in
the service. In his senior year here,
Joe became, noted, for the "fingerpoin t ing fak e," which fooled many
opponents and gave the fans a hearty
la ugh.
Wa shvilla , an aggr essive b all haw k ,
who at times blossomed into a high
scorer but was always trying his best
at any rate , broke into the starting
line-up as a sophomore.
.Against one of those great Millersville combinations in January, 1942,
Washvilla became the hero of the
game when he hit the mark with two
vital baskets near the end of the fray
to give the Huskies the win by a narrow margin.
Just as Chesney was well known
for his finger-pointing fake, so Washvilla was recognized by his "galloping dribbl e" and the "stomp, stomp "
.sound of his feet on the hardwood.
WtU 'hvilln was the leading scorer of
the 1942-43 team.
The surroundings of spacious Centennial Gym were quite different
i'rom the cigar-box old gym , where
these two athletes first saw action in
col legiate basketball.
Both p l a y ed outstanding ball
throughout their time here at Bloomsburg. They played when the fruits
of victory were plentiful , and they
played when there were lean years
—but always they gave their best.
This was part icularly noticeable during thr ; letter part of this year when
the going was tough .

Upsets continued to headline the

opened, After Lock' Ha von got by
Shippensburg safely, Kutztown invaded the Bald Eagle field house and
handed the homesters a 44-41 beating

The Husky Reserve squad gained
sweet revenge for an earlier defeat
by handing the Scranton University
Jayvees a 69-38 lacing 'in the preliminary game last Saturday night. This
made the Jayvee record for the season eight wins and three losses.
Georgie Paternoster led the assault
with 24 points , but every one of the
loam contributed to the cause. The
Huskies t o o k a commanding 16-7
lead at the first quarter mark and
were never in»trouble the remainder
of the distance, increasing the margin to a lopsided 42-15 lead at halftime.
Scranton had edged the Husky Reserves earlier in the season at that
plac e, 50-45, but the Tommy seconds
were no match for the Cubs this time.

were to play' Lock Haven. Neither is
regarded as a set-up, for the Big Red
is fresh i'rom a lopsided 76-55 win
over Kutztown , which just defeated
the Bald Eagles.
In other conference games, California pulled into eleventh place with a
surpri se win over strong Slippery
Rock , 72-67. A few days earlier the
Vulcans had been defeated by Indiana , 70-45.
Besides the g a m e s mentioned
above , here is the general picture
during the last few days of the season: Shippensburg will meet Slippery Rock this evening and California tomorrow night. The Red Raiders play both games away and by
winning both can finish the season at
the .500 mark. Kutztown has two
games remaining with West 'Chester ,
one having been snowed out last
week. In addition to clashing with .
Shippensburg, Slippery Rock has a
game with Edinboro on the books.
Those games will close the lid on the
'46-'47 season.
