Community Activities Budget Cpllege B^nd Sports New Duds The band this year is better than ever. Forty-four students are enrolled and they make a striking picture as they march down the field in their new uniforms . These new uniforms are of maroon whipcord material with gold trimmings. The maj orettes uniforms are also of a maroon whipcord bodice and a white whipcord skirt. The Press has commented quite favorably on the appearance of our band as it marches. It is said to make the best appearance of any State Teachers College band . The first appearance of the Band this year was at the MansfieldBloomsburg game in Kingston . They also played at the Lock Haven game, at the pep meeting in the Centennial Gym , and at the Homecoming Day Broadcast in Carver Hall Auditorium on Thursday. They then played at the Homecoming Assembly S a t u r d ay morning and at the football game between Shippensburg and Bloomsburg last Saturday afternoon . They marched in the Hallowe'en Parade downtown on Monday night . On November 1, the band , twirlers, and cheerleaders will accompany the team to Kutztown State Teachers College. . And on November 8, they will play at the East StroudsburgBlobmsburg game which will conclude the activities of the marching band. On November 10, the Concert Band will form at which time it is desired that any students who wish to play in the Concert Band will come out for practice. It is particularly desirous that more clarinet players make an appearance. At Homecoming the Shippensburg ' band members will be the guests of our band in the dining hall for luncheon and dinner .

As a matter of fact, this condition does not even demand war within a decade. *Why not? Militarists refer us to the balance of power—the theory that two nations with equal ability to wage war will not enter a military conflict because neither can achieve a clean-cut victory. Despite political tension, this is the case of the United States and Russia. Neither of these nations possesses an offensive superiority capable of penetrating the geographic and military defenses of the other. Therefore, war will be delayed until weapons are invented which will guarantee complete victory. Scientists of both nations are consequently working at break-neck speed to win the race of warfare development. At this point, perhaps it would be well to review the potentialities of these two maj or powers. Russia boasts an army of greater manpower, however her navy is insufficient to dominate the oceans which separate her from the United States. Russian air power is also too weak to penetrate U. S. defenses. On the other hand, the United States commands the seas, but at present, its army is greatly reduced from that of World War II days. Although the United States possesses the atomic bomb, no means of getting through Russian defenses have yet been devised. , , , Thus, unless some premature stimulus comes into being beforehand, the next world conflict must wait for scientific development to ; break the prevailing deadlock.

Team Extended Bloomsburg in First Meeting of Two Opponents Rodgers scores.- The St. Gabriel High product went over from the three yard line after nine plays in the first period of the Homecoming game. Kutztown Golden Avalanche Fresh from 33*0 Win Over Trenton Teachers As a result of a one sided win over Trenton Teachers l a s t Saturday, Kutztown's Golden Avalanche remained a threat to the Husky eleven, in quest of their fourth conference win today at the Berks county school. The charges of Coach Walter P. Risley, who were Homecoming Day victims of the Huskies last year by a 19-0 score, will be out to avenge that stinging loss today. In the , victory at Trenton , a deadly passing attack, with Lawrence Motkowski doing most of the pitching, proved the death knell to the New Jersey lads. Ira Fake and Alph Novick did most of the catching, and they will be a threat to the Huskies this afternoon. The Redman crew, remembering the Shippensburg aerial display, will be ready to meet the Kutztovvn attack. Last year the avalanche reportedly had an airlane offensive cooked up for the Huskies with Doug Batdorf doing the heaving, but it did not materialize. Although Kutztown has failed to gain a conference win in three tests, they have a- veteran eleven from last year's squad , which upset a strong Millersville team in the last game of the season , Lock Haven swamped the Golden Avalanche, 48-6; Shippensburg turned the trick, 28-6, and Mansfield was victorious, 40-6. In the Shippensburg game, halfback Leroy Heckman, of Hamburg, ran a kickoff back 80 yards for a touchdown. «.. The Huskies will be all out for this "one, not taking anything for granted, regardless of the fact that Kutztown has not shown much in conference battles to date . They are pointing to the Trenton clash in which five touchdowns were recorded. By winning this game, the Redman crew can improve their y standing in the conference and at the same time be certain of finishing the season not lower than the .500 mark, A chartered bus is to accompany the team , and Husky fandom is to be well represented, I i . ¦ - Bloomsburg Kreiser Morgans Mussoline . . . . > Slobozien Swales Donan Paternoster ...

Shut out by Slippery Rock the previous Saturday and kept from paydirt by the Huskies during the first quarter, Shippensburg State Teachers College cut loose with a~ three touchdown assault to beat the Huskies, 1912, before a Homecoming Day crowd of 3,000 at Athletic Park last Saturday. The Red Raiders, who are loaded with f ootball talent fr om all over the commonwealth, concentrated their offense for the afternoon into fifteen minutes of a touchdown display which will be remembered for years to come. They made 8 of their 11 first ' downs, 54 of the 102 yards rushing, and 151 of the 172 yards passing in that fatal second period. All three scores came as a result of passing with Ben. Russ, former Harrisburg Catholic High star, somewhat duplicating Matt Maley's feat against Lock Haven .

Kick-off time is slated for 2:30 P.M. In a previous engagement two weeks ago at Oxford, the Huskies came through with* a thrilling 2-0 vi ct ory, but only after playing a fast brand of ball the entire distance. Lin coln , which has on its squad many African players from Nigeria, boasts a tricky, ball-handling array of stars led by the center halfback , Naochiri, who was in on the majority of the plays in the first meeting between the two schools. Huskies Ready Indications are that the Huskiet will be at full strength for the clash, although there remained some doubt as to whether or not Owen Diehl, big center forward, would be available for duty. Diehl has missed the last three games due to a knee injury. Led by fullback Johnny Magill and goalie Leroy Henry, the Maroon and Gold boast of a strong "last-ditch" defense, which has kept the enemy from scoring during the last ten quarters. Halfbacks Glenn Phillips, Pat Rooney, and Claire Mensinger have been playing bang-up ball, and the line play has been nothing short of sensational. A last minute switch may send Phillips in at inside right with Doyle Johnson taking left halfback. The Huskies have a record of three wins, two ties, and one loss and are anxious to improve that with a victory today and at the same time improve their EIL rating. With the Maroon and Gold playing such a high brand of ball and due to the fact that Lincoln is a drawing card, a large crowd is expected to b« on hand today for the clash. Booters Win Over Elizabethtown 3-0 A powerful Husky soccer team continued its surge toward national rec- 1 ognition by defeating Elizabethtown College, 3-0, on Mt. Olympus last Saturday in the morning feature of Homecoming Day. The tussle was witnessed by the largest crowd ever to see a soccer game on the hill, and the grads who came back to get a glimpse of the Maroon and Gold booters, who are improving with each game, liked wha^ they saw. Elizabethtown puzzled the Huskies no little in the first period with a queer type of defense , most of the men remaining within the penalty area when the Maroon and Gold had the ball. Shot after shot was pushed aside by Frankie Keath , the visitors' goalie. ( Continued on pag* 4) .

LUDWIG • .^ . . . ^ Homecoming Day was a success from an athletic standpoint , although the Husky eleven lost out to Shippensburg in a thriller, 19-12. The grads were well pleased with the display of the gridiron sport the Huskies are producing this year , and they were also delighted that the Maroon and Gold soccer team came through with a victory over Elizabethtown College. Much discussion about the calibre of teachers college football has caused the big "time sports jwriters to sit up and take notice this fall. According to the observations we have been able to make and from reports gathered through other methods, the majority of the teachers colleges rank with many of the best small colleges. This writer saw the Bucknell-Delaware game a few weeks ago, and on that particular afternoon it wouldn't have been too difficult for the Huskies or any of the better teams in the conference to take either school into camp. The West Chester paper not long ago came out with an article to the effect that the Philadelphia papers had vbeen snubbing the Rams—although the Killinger crew boasted of an undefeated record and had beaten several of the colleges in the suburban area .- West Chester migh t have something there, but the Rams over a period of years have received more publicity than all of the other teacher colleges combined. One method has helped the situation considerably. Each week Associated Press releases an article discussing the week's results and carrying official standings of the teachers college conference race. This is promoting interest among fandom and is binding the conference into a stronger union.One noticeable weakness of the conference still remains, but it will probably be corrected in a year or* two. West Chester, East Stroudsburg, and Slippery Rock each play but threg games within the conference—not enough to warrant any title which they might receive. Due to the fact that football schedules are made years in advance, these schools were powerless to book more conference tiffs .this year . However, they are going to be required to do so in the near future. The Husky team, despite its second defeat of the year, looked good last Saturday. Line play was outstanding with the Red Raiders being held to a total of 63 net yards on the ground. Pass defense seemed to be the weakest point , and the Maroon and Gold will have to brush up in that department, especially against East Stroudsburg. Another department which will stand quite a bit of improvement is the extra point attempt. The Maroon and Gold have successfully converted but three of fourteen possible extra points this year. The Mansfield game was the . difference between a tie and a defeat. Coach Peter Wisher's Husky booters are blossoming into something of which the school can be proud. Defeated but once in six games, and that a close 2-1 loss, the Maroon and Gold eleven will attempt to make it four in a row today . The victory over Elizabethtown College was sweet revenge, for j ust five years previously the visitors spoiled Homecoming Day with a 2-1 overtime victory. The 3-0 win on Saturday saw the down staters no match for the Huskies, who are improving with each appearance. Not wishing to point ahead too far, the Maroon and Gold booters, however, are looking- forward to their visit at East Stroudsburg,- Sat. Nov . 8. Because this is the Huskies' first year as a member of the Eastern Intercollegiate League, it will be hard to obtain a very high rating, but by winning over the Big Red the feat could be accomplished, for the Pocono school ranks high in the EXL standings. Right now, however , the Huskies have enough to worry about with Lincoln University this afternoon. Spirit is a dominating factor in the success or f ailure of any athletic team . Anyone connected with the Wisher squad knows that they rank second to none when it comes to team spirit. Time after time key men have been on the inj ured list, yet the squad continued to play a high brand of soccer. Substitutes filled the open spots most capably, and the team continued to win . With such enthusiasm present, it's hard to keep such an aggregation down . According to official figures released early this week, West Chester is at the top of the heap in the mass-standings of all colleges and universities in the commonwealth. The Rams have a composite record of six wins without a defeat, Slippery Rock is in fourth place with four victories and a tie, that deadlock resulting- last Saturday when supposedly weak Fairmont, W , Va. held the Rockets to a scoreless stalemate. That game prevented the Rockets f rom being ono of the nation's 82 undefeated, untied football elevens. Tied for seventh with Muhlenberg is Shippensburg, with four wins and a single loss. Mansfield ranks tenth with three wins, one tie, and one defeat. The Huskies are tie for fourteenth with four other schools—Lehigh , Thiel, Lafayette, and Temple . Lock Haven is tied with Villanova for nineteenth position, each with three wins, two losses, and a tie. East Stroudsburg and Lincoln are in the number 31 position, Edinboro and Clarion are 37th, and ^"Kutztown is 43rd . Associated Press is already picking; out some of the teachers college stars, having1 mentioned several In the weekly release, Matt Maley was on© of those listed. Others included Carlozo, West Chester; Toufel, Lock Haven ; Carlson, Indiana; Ben Russ, Shipp ensb urg, It is certain that the conference will be represented this year in the all-state selections, and It won't bo surprising1 If a few first team spots go to the teachers colleges. * Turning to other fields for a moment, Columbia 's defeat of Army 's Black Knights last week was described by Coach Earl Blaik as not a piece of luck. He claimed that Gene Rossides was one of the best passers he ever saw and that end Bill Swiacki ranked on his list as the best. Coach Lou Little has again come up with an outstanding passing star in Rossides.-First it was Sid Luckman , then Paul Governali, now Rossides. He didn't play against Yale and Penn, both games resulting in losses for the Lions. Blaik .went on to add that the pressure was now off , and the boys could settle down to ordinary football.
