The Gold Brick
Benj amin (none) Podolsky, age, 30;

6 in. ; rate, radar man 3/c; hobby,
chasing women and caging drinks
(very efficient at both ) ; ambitior , tp
be a civilian ; reading preference, anything sexy or socialistic.
Podolsky was a vigorous, remorseless "gold-brick" . He would go to any
extreme to avoid work . During his
firs t month aboard shi p, he managed
to "get lost" every time a work detail
would come up. The way he managed
to disappear so completely came to be
a mystery aboard ship. It was the
captain , himself , who solved the mystery.
All hands had been called to the
bow for the purpose of handling ammunition . As usual, and according to
script , Podolsky disappeared. It happened that the captain was entertaining guests on this particular day, and,
as was his wont, he was showing them
about the ship. Upon reaching the
bridge , he noted that the flag-bag
was improperly fastened; accordingly
he approached the bag with the intention of securing it. He bent over to
accomplish this when, upon hearing
a strange noise emanating from inside
the bag, he threw back the cover.
There, sleeping like a baby and with
an angelic look on his face was—
Podolsky!
Inspection after inspection found
Podolsky 's cleaning station, the degaussing room , to be the worst on the

I

by Robert A. Baylor
when several days before the monthly inspection was due, Podolsky was
reported to be busily painting and
generally renovating the degaussing
room . Inspection day arrived , and it
was one of those days when everything went wrong. By the time the
inspection party reached the degaussing room everyone , from the exec on
down, was_ hanging back fearfully.
The captain entered the room , and
we prepared for the stentorian blast
which we were sure would follow.
Seconds went by and not a word from
the captain . The rest of the party
peered anxiously into the room . It
was spotless! The deck, which had
been a dingy yellow color, was now
a glistening green . The walls were
covered with degaussing equipment
and even it was polished and shining.
All concerned breathed a quiet sigh
of relief . The captain was so shocked
that even he was speechless . When
he regained his facilities of speech he
began heaping congratulations on
Podolsky. It was then that some awful Belial must have pushed him , for
•he stepped over to the corner and
picked up a small radar, repair kit.
This kit was about the size of a small
fishing tackle box, As the captain
lifted it the entire inspection party
gave a gasp of horror; beneath the
kit was a glaring rectangular patch
of the old yellow paint .
Podolsky had painted carefully
around the box rather than pick it
up!

Score at Will in 9*3
Win for 6th Triumph
Displaying one of the most devastating attacks during the 1947 soccer
season, the Bloomsburg State Teachers College booters ran g the curtain
on the most successful campaign in
the school's history by pounding out
a record-breaking 9-3 victory over
Elizabethtown College at that place
on Saturday.
The field was blanketed with approximately two inches of snow at
the kick-off, and rollers were required
to mark what would ordinarily be the
chalk lines. However, the snow did
not stop the deadly Husky attack,
which has carried the Maroon and
Gold to national honors .
Records Broken
Several records were shattere d in
Saturday 's triumph . It broke the former record for most goals scored by
a Husky soccer team in one gamesix . The old record of five wins in a
single season was also broken for this
was the sixth victory. This year's
mark is by far the best percentage,
and the total goal production for the
year is the highest in Husky soccer
history, There were several other records which were broken .
Lose Six Seniors
This contest marked the end of
collegiate soccer for six of the Wishermen, and all played a vital, part in
the drive toward a high national rating this year. Captain Clayton Patterson, Nescopeck; Johnny Magill,
Fern Glen ; Millard Ludwig, Millville;
Pat Rooney, Philadelphia; Reginald
Remley, Bloomsburg; and George
Stasko, Wilkes-Barre, are the Huskies who participated in the recordbreaking performance as their swan
song,

kick-off . Goalie Frankie Keath , who
turned away approximately 40 shots
during the afternoon in a magnificent
display of goal tending, pushed aside
the Maroon and Gold thrusts until the
eight minute mark when "Con " Conrad, Ben t on , booted a corner kick
near pay dirt area, and Pat Rooney
lined the ball past Keath .
Elizabethtown came back and on
its firs! attack on the Husky goal
scored when Captain Meyer passed to
H. Gingerich who lined a beautiful
shot into the nets. The Huskies retaliated with two quick goals . On a
shot by Ludwig, Keath failed to control the ball, and Patterson shoved it
through . Moments later Conra d passed in front of the goal, Patterson
picked it up, slipped the oval to Owen
Diehle, Phil a delphia, and he made it
3-1 with a true shot .
The Huskies pulled away in the second period with two more. At the
eight minute mark, Ludwig shot one
at Keath, and when he fumbled the
ball Diehle booted this one between
the uprights . After fifteen minutes,
Pat Rooney scored his second goal on
a beautifu l liner from about thirty
yards out , and the Huskies left the
snow-clad turf at halftime , leading

Second Half
Coach Wisher inserted an entire
new team into the fray to begin the
third period with the first half eleven
resting in the locker room. Elizabethtown took advantage of the fact that
the new team was not warmed up
and scored two goals, Meyer booting
both on mad scrambles in front of the
goal.
With the score 5-3 and six minutes
remaining in the third period, the original Husky eleven trotted back on
the field , Within a few minutes they

had the game tucked away. A penalty
kick was awarded the Huskies for unnecessary roughness, and Patterson
lined the ball into the net . He repeated the performance a few minutes later when the same Elizabethtown fullback, Bucher, repeated the
offense.
The Huskies added two more in the
latter part of the fourth quarter.
Once more exhibiting some smooth
passing, Conrad passed to Doyle Johnson who kicked to Diehle . He passed
to Ludwig who lined the ball into the
upper left corner of the goal, Doyle
Johnson closed things up with a scorching liner which hit the mark to
make it 9-3. The Huskies were knocking at the enemy goal when the final
whistle sounded.
Six in Row
This marked the sixth straight win
for the Wisher charges , giving them
by far the best record in college soccer history . The overall record for
the year was six victories, two ties,
and one loss, and with this high mark
the Husky booters are almost certain
to land in the top ten of the fifty
some teams in the Eastern Intercollegiate Soccer Association .
Opposing coaches , referees, and
other noted soccer officials have remarked all season at the clever passing of the Husky line and the smoothness o£ defensive play, and it will not
bo surprising if a few Huskies are

named to participate in the annual
North-South All-Star game held each
year.

The past weeks saw BSTC athletic teams accomplish a task which wasn't
eaSy — defeating East Stroudsburg State Teachers College in two sports for
which the Big Red have always been famous. Saturday, November 8, the
soccer team reached a goal which no other Husky team had been able to do
in previous attempts when they beat the Big Red in "the Battle of East
Stroudsburg" (or "the splash party") , both names fitting the picture.
That soccer game will be remembered for many years. It was played under adverse conditions, the Huskies knew that the Big Red wasn't
easy and that if they were to gain any recognition for the season, despite
the fine record, they would have to win. Coach Peter Wisher, sticking
to "the book" for various reasons, wanted the victory more than anything else in the world.
East Stroudsburg being a physical education school, the Big Red has
long been a power on the soccer field, having won seven and tied one last
year to rank third in the EIL. Every year they have nearly a hundred candidates out for soccer, and it stands to reason that they will have outstanding
teams. Another point noted about the soccer situation at E. Stroudsburg was
that the students really get behind the soccer team. All are sports minded,
and when the football team is away they support the soccer team, and vice
versa .
By racking up that record-smashing 9-3 victory over Elizabethtown
College last Saturday, the Husky hooters have given tft© college soccer
recognition . Those acquainted with these collegiate organizations will
tell you that in order to get anywhere in a new set-up you have to produce something far beyond the average athletic team. This has been the
case of the soccer team, for in its first season as a member of the Eastern Intercollegiate League it has turned in a fine record, one that should
show Bloomsburg among the top ten of the fifty some colleges in the
organization.
On Armistice Day the Husky football team came through with another
thrilling display of a movie finish by scoring two touchdowns and making an
extra point to edge the Big Red, 13-12. It was almost a repetition of last
year when the Pocono school led nearly all the way, 6-0, only to have the
Huskies score a touchdown in the fourth period on a Maley to Paternoster
pass and Krepich's placement to win, 7-6. This time it was 12-6 going into
the last period and the deficit was much larger, but once more the Redmancoached outfit accomplished the feat .
Certainly lady luck did not smile on the Huskies. Time and time
again penalties, intercepted passes after deflections, and fumbles paved
the way for Big Red scores. The Husky line performed magnificently in
holding the Mountaineer backs at bay, and late in the game they opened
holes big enough through which a wagon could have been, driven. They
opened holes against a line which was ranked with the top lines in the
state. Before the game, East Stroudsburg ranked second in the state
defensively, having allowed only three touchdowns in four games before
Tuesday's clash. This included such strong teams as Panzer, Shippensburg, Cortland, and West Chester.
Defeating a physical education school like East Stroudsburg in two maj or sports , and for the football team two years in a row, is no small task,
for it will be remembered that those schools have the "cream of the crop, "
supposedly. They have many advantages, for they attract athletes and they
spen d more time on sports. The equipment is definitely better, especially in
the. case of soccer. Frankly, the Husky soccer team isn't dressed among the ,
top ten . However, it's better to have a good record and be rated among the
top ten in that respect than to be in the "well dressed top ten " yet finish
among the lower teams.
Looking back over the records, this is definitely the year for which
ve
we' been waiting, Both the football and soccer teams boasted the best
seasons in history of the school. The composite record of the two sports
shows 12 wins, two ties, and three losses. It is doubtful if any other
teachers college can show such a record for two fall sports. We know
of one teachers college, which is undefeated in football, but the soccer
team has lost four games.
This week the Philadelphia release on the State Teachers College Football Conference stated that the football title would probably be shared by
Mansfield and West Chester. The article further states that under an old
ruling the team winning the championship must play at least four conference
games. However, because of the fact that West Chester boasts an undefeated, untied record of eight wins in eight starts, the release goes on, they
can claim a share of the title,
, That doesn't seem fair to Mansfield or the other teams involved.
Bloomsburg and Shipponsburg, for Instance, play seven and eight conference games, respectively. We're not saying It would happen, but about
eight of these teachers college teams are tough to beat, and If West
pheater played that many games the Bams might not be undefeated.
West Chester didn't look Impressive in its 0-0 win over Mlllorsvlllo last
Saturday. In fact, the Marauders outplayed the Rams In the first half.

Two weeks ago West Chester shellacked C.C.N.Y. to the tune of 47-0 '
with Freshman star Joe Carlozo scoring four touchdowns. But behind that
game is an interesting story. It seems that last March when C.C.N.Y. signed
a contract to ~meet the Rams on the gridiron they did so with reluctance, and
the athletic director of the New York school remarked that they would never
get anywhere by playing colleges like West Chester State Teachers. Coach
Glenn Killinggr, ef the Rams, himielf an AltAmeriGan on Walter Camp's
selections, was fighting mad when he saw the article. He pasted the item
on the bulletin board and vowed that C.C.N.Y. was in for a beating. So they
were, according to the score. East Stroudsburg added insult to inj ury by
walloping the New Yorkers, 42-6, last Saturday.
With the football season now at a close as far as BSTC students are
concerned, a little review of the highlights seem to be in good order.
Looking back to see what our men in moleskins did, we find that
the college has compiled the most successful record in its history—modern history at any rate. Outstanding were the thrilling victories over
Lock Haven and Stroudsburg, and the overwhelming defeat of Millers^
ville. The unsuccessful efforts against Mansfield and Shippensburg were
completely overshadowed by these and other victories registered by the
Maroon and Gold, as well as the above par play of Kreiser, Donan and
Maley, which netted them nominations to the All-Pennsylvania team.
In the Mansfield game our squad plainly showed its superiority over
its opponents, but evidently lacked the final push necessary for victory.
Not disheartened by this one-point reverse, the Huskies bounced back to
win a spectacular 19-14 victory over the favored Bald Eagles from Lock
Haven and followed this with an 11-7 triumph at Clarion.
The big guns of Coach Redman's team really went off with a bang
against Millersville in a game which found the Huskies winning handily
by a score of 87-0. That this was no minor feat was shown by the recent
performance of Millersville against the undefeated and bowl-bound West
Chester aggregation which had to go all out to win by a lone touchdown.
Despite this overwhelming triumph , the Huskies lost their chance at the
championship a week later when Shippensburg put on a terrific air barrage
in the second quarter that netted them three touchdowns and a 19-12 victory.
The squad came back to register a 24-7 win over Kutztown , and in the final
home game of the season our boys spotted the highly touted East Stroudsburg eleven two touchdowns early in the game and came on to win in the
last quarter 13-12 in as thrilling a game as anyone could wish to see. This
game produced a bright light in freshman fullback Dan Parrell, who had
seen little action prior to this contest . His line plunging paced the Husky
drive towards the winning touchdown .
A sort of antl-cllmox was the 84-0 decision over Rider College at
Trenton in the final game of the season.
Outstanding in the Husky successes this season were the three players nominated to the All-State team, Of these three, Matt Maley is a
>
repeater from last year.
Maley, who hails from Pottsville, paced the Husky offense with his brilliant passing. This 190 pound j uniqr completed 16 out of 32 passes against
Lock Haven and hit his target for several passes in the Stroudsburg contest
that eventually proved to be the key to victory,
The Husky offense could hardly have been so formidable had it not been
for the great line, and heading this forward wall was the 210 pound sophomore from Columbia, Tommy Donan , Perhaps he was one of the brightest
of the many bright features in the Husky lineup,
Six-feet four inches are the vital statistics concerning the bone, crushing Elmer Kreiser, freshman end from Columbia who was often
on the receiving end of Matt Maley's passes. Throughout the season,
the towering wlngman threw key blocks that enabled the ball-carriers
to score.

Kreiser, Big and Tough,
Is Another Choice
One of the biggest and toughest ends in State Teachers College football this season is big
Elmer Kr eiser, a young giant
who learned his football chores
at Columbia High School. "Big
Elm" towers six feet-four inches and weighs 230 pounds, yet
he is one of the youngest members of Coach Bob Redman's •
squ ad, having just celebrated
his twentieth birthday. Rated
by opposing coaches as the best
defensive end they have had to
contend with this season , Kreiser is also a pass catcher who
rates with the very best in the,
state . He is only a freshman, ^
so rival schools will se a lot of
him during the next three years,
and pass defenses will have to*
be overhauled in- order to check

Because of their outstanding
play during the 1947 season,
three Bloomsburg Teachers College gridders have been nominated for places on the 1947 AllPennsylvania team , and each of
these Huskies has a better-thanaverage chance of winning a
coveted berth on one of the All

Repeating their 1946 performance
when they scored, three times in the
first period and then coasted along to
victory, the Husky eleven duplicated
the feat and won an easy 34-0 victory '
over Rider College at Dunn Field,
Trenton, last Saturday night before
a fair sized crowd.
The game was played under adverse
conditions , and the slippery turf
hampered the Husky attack considerably, Both teams experienced difficulty in handling the ball , and Nfumbles were numerous,
i.

Rider fumbled the kick-off , and the
Huskies recovered on the 20. Matt
Maley ri pped off a first down, and
Bernie Rodgers went the rest of the
way for the score, Ed Tavalsky, Johnstown, who has been bothered with
inju ries all season, split the uprights
with a perfect placement to make it
7-0.
Paul Slobozien intercepted a Rider
pass and ran it back to the Rough
Riders' 42. The Huskies went to the
5, and then Rider took the ball on
downs . In desperation , they tried one
of their 21 passes during the evening.
Matt Maley intercepted this one and
went 30 yards for the score, Tavalsky
again place kicked the extra point.
With Rider backed up against its
own goal line, Bob Rosebi'ook punted
to his 34, Two plays picked up four
yards, and Don Snyder passed to Billy
Dugan for the- third score of the period. Tavalsky made it three for three
with another extra point , and the
Huskies led by a 21-0 score.
Attack Bogs Down
During the next two periods, both
teams failed to get any sort of a drive
started . Punts were numerous, both
elevens fearing to handle the slippery
ball for any length oC time . Rider
took to the air frequently but withlittle success,

Gollege Soccermen
Beat E* Stroudsbur g

In one of the most hectic battles
ever staged on a soccer field , the
Husky booters came through , w ith
their fifth straight victory by defeating East Stroudsburg: State Teachers
College, 4-3, in the Pocono city last
Saturday afternoon . It marked the
first time in eight years that a Husky
soccer team has defeated the Big Red .
Playing on a muddy-water-soakedfield , the direct result of a pelting
rain for several hours before game
t ime, the Huskies held a slight dis-'
advantage at the kick-off . The sea
of mud was expected to bog down the
usually powerful Maroon and Gold
attack, which has highlighted the
drive for national recognition in the
Eastern Intercollegiate Soccer Association .
Diehl Scores Two
•
The Wishermen , however, pushed
aside the weather obstacles and opened the first period with a furious attack on the Big Red goal . It wasn't
until the fifteen minute mark, however, that they crossed the chalk line.
On a corner kick by Millard Ludwig
in the goal area, Owen Diehl chested
the ball through to break the ice.
Early in the second quarter th<*
same combination worked again. Ludwig sent another corner kick into
paydirt area , and Diehl headed this
one through to give the Huskies a 2-0
lead .
A few minutes later Captain Clayton Patterson had possession of the
ball about thirty yards out and sent
a scorching liner into the nets to give
the Huskies a comfortable lead at
Vinlftimn

Second Half
'
When the third period opened , the
Big Red unleashed a deadly attack
which saw them score after five minutes had passed. Henrie, Mountaineer
lef t wing,* shot one by goalie Leroy
Henry, who previously had held a record of sixteen scoreless quarters as
guardian of the nets.
Back came the Huskies with a roar .
Patterson originated the play at midfi eld , passing over to Ludwig. He
crossed the ball to Neil Dent, who
passed to Doyle Johnson . The latter
took one dribble and booted the oval
squarely between the uprights to
make it 4-1, and the Huskies breathed
easier once more.
Biff Red Strikes
The Big Red, a team which doesn't
know the word "quit ," came back
with a vengeance. With the heavy,
soggy ball bouncing around cra2ily,
Jack Schalles picked it up and shoved
the pellet past Henry, and the count
was 4-2.
With about six minutes to go in the
fourth quarter , Daniels, inside left,
got off a lorig boot from about twenty
five yards out. The ball sailed into
the upper righ t corner of the goal,
and the Big Red fans went wild .
The next few minutes saw both
teams display a lighting bran d of the
spor t which is seldom seen. After
playing nearly eighty-eight minutes
of hard, bruising soccer with f qw substitutes, both elevens battled frantically for possession of the ball as the
Big Red fans cheered their team on
from the dormitory windows, automo-

Touchdown Par ade

Last Period Drive

(Continued from page 5)
In the l a st peri od , the hard-charging 'Husky > forward wall blocked a
Rider punt, and Gazenski recovered
on the 15. Stan Krzywicki tossed a
touchdown pass to Charlie Kasmerovicz . Rider fumbled on its own 32, the
Huskies recovering. Numerous ground
plays moved the ball to the 10, and
Don Snyder heaved one to Steve Kriss
for the final touchdown . Maley caught
a pass for the extra point to make it
34-0.
The statistics showed both teams
rolling up seven first downs, but most
of Rider 's was through short gains' or
penalties . The homesters were never
able to get a real attack moving although they took to airlaries frequently. The Huskies led in total yardage,
331 t o 155. Net yards gained showed
the Huskies well ahead , 320 to 90. (

Angelo Albano shot a pass to Maley
to make it 12-7.
East Stroudsburg failed to gain after the kick-off . A pen alt y moved
the ball back to the 15, and Schwartz
punted . Wi t h Parrell , Kriss, and Maley doing the running the Huskies
went to the Big Red 7 when a fourth
down pa ss by Maley was too long.
East Stroudsburg failed to gain again,
and Schwartz punted . From the Big
Red 39, the Huskies began to roll
on ce mor e.
Von Stetten got 5, and Kriss picked
up 5 more for a first down. Von Stetten got 7 and Kriss 4 for another first
on the 18. Maley gained 6 at right
end, but Kriss lost 4. Maley faded
back again , got good blocking, spotted
Georgie Paternoster in the end zone,
and the short boy grabbed it proudly
to put the Huskies in front . The try
for point pass was bad, and the kick
was blocked , but it didn 't matter.
East Stroudsburg capitalized on
breaks to score in the second period.
With five minutes gone in the second
quarter , the Huskies had the ball on
t hei r 16. A bad pass from center rolled around the goal line and in a mad
scramble Charley Ritinski, big right
end , recovered for the score . Whitehead's try for point was no good , and
the Big R ed led , 6-0.
Not long after the Huskies started
a drive from their own 35 and had
gone to the East Stroudsburg 22.
Maley 's pass was deflected by an intended re ceiv er , and Bernie Rockovitch gathered it in after going
thi'ough a juggling act on his 10. He
swept to the south sidelines, got good
blocking, and when a Big Red lineman hit Steve Kriss, the West Hazleton flash appeared to be off on a long
touchdown j aunt.
However, Kriss didn 't give up. He
picked himself from the ground and
was a full 15 yards behind Rockovitch
on the 50. With a tremendous burst
of speed he overtook the Mountaineer
back on the 5, and for a while it looked as though Kriss ' run was not for
naught . However, on a fourth down
