George J. Keller Relates Experiences In Animal Training A most unusual hobby and experiences that grew from it featured the assembly program , February 26, in the Auditoriusn as George J. Keller, art instructor of the College, presented colored motion pictures -of his hobby as a wild animal trainer . Mr. Keller , whose wild animal act has been a featured attraction in numberous fairs, indoor arenas and the Canadian Garden Brothers Circus, related interesting and varied experiences he had while touring Canada and the United States. Following a short description of his work with wild animals, Mr. Keller showed films taken during his most recent trip with his "Jungle Killers," the featured act with the Garden Brothers Circus, sponsored by the Canadian Government. During t h e presentation , he gave a vivid and colorful narration of the persons and events pictured in the film. Mr . Keller was presented by President Harvey A . Andruss who presided over the assembly program. — ; t College Tower Clock Gets "The New Look" The large clock in the tower of Carver Hali has been ticking away for more than a half century with little or ho thought as to what makes it go or strike each hour and half hour. Like the old tower clock, few persons have been aware that the driving power for the clock movement has been the presence of a small cable upon which is suspended a five-hundred pound iron weight, while the striking device is emerged by another cable of weights weigh ing a like amount. The cable are wound on separate drums, and the weights travel vertically a distance of approximately 15 feet . Oddly enough in this mechanical age, the winding has been done by hand , by means of a large crank, three times a week. All this now has been changed! Under a program of rebuilding the interior stairs at Carver /Hall, a rewiring contract is also in progress which has resulted in improvements to the old tower clock. Foley and Son, Har¦risburg . general electrical contractors, engaged Tower Clock Service Company, Springfield , Ohio, to handle the improvements. The work , which has boon in progress for the past several days , has now been completed. Passersby, who have noted that the clock has not been running or striking as usual, will be pleased to learn that Carver Hall Tower Clock has finally gotten the "newlook." College' officials are also inclined to feel a bit more on the "sato side" with the removal of a half ton of weights from above their heads. i ' . ¦ ¦ • , -. .. . ¦ ¦ • ' . Honored by State Appointment Future Teachers Told Guidance Is Vital In Education At a meeting of the Future Teachers of America at B.S.T.C. Frid ay, February, 27, Reynold Paganeli guidance counsellor of Wilkes Barre . Schools, told the values of child i guidance in the field of education. Mr. Paganelli reviewed the fundamentals of an efficient guidance program emph asizing clearly the need for this type of activity. . Mr . Paganeli was pleased with the efforts of the F.T.A. Chapter at Bloomsburg State Teachers College for making plans to conduct a "Career Day", emphasizing the need of I having young people know that others are interested in their welfare. Paganelli expressed encouragement in this endeavor. i i The speaker expressed his theory about how a guidance program could be evaluated and related several interesting case studies in which the need for guidance was clearly evidenced. Mr . Paganelli graduated from the Catholic University in Washington, D.C. He is now attending Columbia University in N.Y. The meeting of the F.T.A . was also highlighted by having a gold seal placed upon the charter for outstanding work during the year 1947-48. J. R .

No matter how little , 'Americans believe in saving something regularly to protect their futures. Despite record high prices, savings in America today are also at recor d h ig h levels. Which shows that folksy-over the last halfdozen years'—have been putting a little bit away each week or month for future use. The question often comes up— "How can I possibly save anything when my living uses up just about every cent I make?" You can still save a little bit, brother;' Fifty cents or a dollar doesn 't look like much all by itself. But , when it 's put away regularly, week after week , it sure mounts up. And, think of the protection a person has with "m oney in t h e bank. " It 's there to meet any emergency—and it helps to buy homes , vacations , fishing tackle , automobiles , etc. So, let 's get in the saving habit. Let 's put something away regularly—no matter how little it may be. That 's the American Way. Students Ente rt ain At Danville Hospital A group of students from the Bloomsburg State Teachers College entertained patients of the Danville State Hospital on Thursday, February 26, in a program planned and directed by Miss Alice Johnston , director of dramatics, and John A .

LUD WIG w [ : "Dangerous Dan " Litwhiler , the former Husky athlete of the middle thirties, signed his contract early last week and is in the trainin g camp of th e Boston Br aves. Litwhiler, who was traded by the Cardinals to the Braves in 1946, hopes to have a banner year. 'He "divided his time with 'Bama" Rowell in left field during the '47 season when Manager Billy Southworth used his strategy7 which brought him pennants in St . Louis . When Litwhiler was making his tour of the banquet circuit during the fall of '46, he remarked at the time that the Braves were certain to be a contender for the National League flag in the next few years. It would seem, according to the way things are shaping up, that the former y good prognosticate!". The Wigwam team Ringtown resident is a prett finished a gotfd third last summer and gave the Dodgers and Cards a merry cha se for a while. In Johnny Sain and Warren Spahn , Southworth has two of the finest pitchers in the senior loop , and with -a few trades which have been made this winter, the Beantowners look like the team to beat this year. In 1935, the Husky baseball team , of which Litwhiler was a prominent clean-up man, the Maroon and Gold ran rough shod over all opposition , running up twelve wins in a row and taking the State Teachers College title without opposition. Starting in 1934 , the Huskies enrolled 21 straight diamond wins, including a 6-4 victory over the Hazleton Mountaineers, of the New York-Pennsylvania League, a Class "A" professional loop, now known as the Eastern League. In addition to Litwhiler, members of that championship team included Charles Blackburn, left field { Frank Rompola, second base; Al Finder, third base; Woody Litwhiler, Danny's brother, right fiel d and pitcher ; "Dink" Riley, short stop; Karshner, second base; Washelewski, first base; Vistoski and Bennet Dry, catchers; and the well known "Whitey " MoleskL Tip Slavin, and Woody, pitchers. Probably the best known at the time was Bern? e (Cobb) Kafchinski, lumbering first sacker, who also took the mound on occasions and patrolled the outfield. This giant from Scranton , who receives much credit from Danny for his success in batting, was a power hitter , slamming out 22 hits in 48 appearances for a hefty .418 average . He smacked something like 10 home runs during this spree. Cobb, as he was known professionally, went on to play pro ball, and had it not been for his weak eyes, he undoubtedly Pictured above is Bobby Kashner, would have made the big time immediately after college .

On numerous occasions the Brock-coached q uintet came within two points of the Huskies.

McLaughlin was the key man of a smooth passing attack that at times stumped the local cagers . Mulvy, an excellent long shot, racked up 14 markers to run second to McLaughlin in the point-making. Alex Wawer, high scoring forward , was bottled up for three quarters but sparked the Monarchs ' attack late in the game. Boyer Is High "Chuckin ' Charley " Boyer was definitely "on " as he paced the Maroon and Gold team with 18 points, showing a percentage of .348 in the field goal department for the evening. Bobby Andr ews, held to a single point for three quarters , shoved through 10 in the last quarter, eight of them coming in succession. It was due to Andrews that the Husky scoring attack did not bog down in that last period . Jones and Kreiser both played fine games in controlling the ball off the boards, although the hard-fighting King's team out-j umped the Huskies in many instances . The Huskies held a lopsided 16-7 lead at the end of the first period and were ahead by 27-20 at halftime. The visitors , fighting with as much spirit in the third period as the first, cut the margin to 36-40 after three quarters . The summary of the varsity game : Bloomsburg: (53) G FG Pts.

MLB Husky Jayvees Complete Highly Successf ul Season IN SPORT S by Curtis L. Miller The basketball season is completed now insofar as" the varsity is concerned , and it is only fitting that we should pay our tribute to the players who made the season a highly successful one despite the fact the Huskies failed to . win th e crown ; or even" finish as high as some of the more arden supporters predicted at the season 's start. We can only hope now that our track and baseball teams come through in as fine a style as did our football and basketball squads . The intramural leagues have proven to be quite popular with the students, thus fulfilling: the main obje ctive. The purpose of intramurals at any school is to furnish the individuals who cannot participate in varsity athletics with an outlet for physical activity ; and the large number of students participating1 in the volley ball and basketball leagues attest to the success of the program in our school. One can't say too much about the value of such a program. While we're on the subj ect of basket ball , we might say a few words about one of our pet mathematical devices, the POINT SYSTEM, which is used in a number of football conferences. To our knowledge, it has never been used in basketball, but in a setup such as our State Teachers have, we see no reason why it cannot be used to great advantage . We are of the opinion that this system would be j ust about the fairest method of gauging the real league champion . It 'wo uld eliminate a team playing only a few league foes—these often being the weakest clubs in the circuit—and coming out on top in the final standings. Mansfield, which leads the league from a won and loss viewpoint, would be on top with a point average of 752.0 which isn 't too gr eat a margin over our Huskies' G74.4. We haven't tabulated averages of the other conference teams, but we have reason to believe that Bloomsburg would rank much better than our present seventh place standing. Th e reason for this, of course, would be duo to the number of games won by defeated opponents. Tru e, there are man y fallacies to this system but we are of the opinion that it is much better for our conference than the won-loss percentage idea . Before getting off the subj ect of basketball , we would like to name our nominations for the ten basketball teams in college circles. New Yrirk University, West Virginia , Kentucky , St . Louis, North Carolina State, Kansas State, Oklahoma A . & M., Rhode Island State, Holy Cross and Columbia make up the select list, though not necessarily in the order mentioned. Other teams that might be mentioned are Bradley, Western Kentucky State, Tulnno , Baylor and Texas .

(When he wasn't on his head.) Althou gh t h e 'Fool's' player-coach, Lydon , was the star of the evening, he had a very capable competitor in the person of Zeke Abraham . Zeke proved that he has all the qualities of a fine basketball player . His long shots from center court brought the crowd to its feet on more than one occasion . Both teams wore their recently purchased uniforms and presented a striking picture . The official was also attired in the very latest in regulation P.I.A.A . outfits and looked extremely snappy.

However, the basketball played that nigh t could hardly be called organized .
