Utah Centennial Chorus To Highlight Next Thursday's Assembly Program Group Is Composed of * 12 Ordained Ministers •4 A musical treat of outstanding interest is promised Thursday, October 28, when the College plays host to the nationally - famous Utah Centennial Chorus. This talented group of young men, all ordained ministers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, will present a program in the Carver Auditorium as a feature of the weekly assembly program. The Chorus is on a nation-wide tour of schools and colleges. The unique character of the chorus can be seen in the fact that its members have left their vocations and their schools to devote voluntarily two years to the ministry at their own expense, and to promulgate Eternal Truth as they understand it. This group was organized to commemorate the great migration of the Mormon people to Utah a little more than one hundred years ago, an d i ts members are anxious t o familiarize the people of the East with the history of these early pioneers, Many Alumni Expected Here Representing Bloomsburg State For Homecoming Next Week Teachers College at the National College Is Represented At NSA Conventio ns Seniors May Order Rings Senior class rings are now available and will be delivered by Christmas, if "orders are placed immediately.

ISIDELINES IN SPORTS . . . by Curt Miller It was j ust one decade ago that Husky football had reached the depths of despair, with the varsity winning but one game during the season and that victory coming against ' Panzer in the last fracas of the season. An odd feature of that contest was found in the statistics Which showed Bloomsburg to be victorious without recording a single first down. But then , it must be remembered that the Husky football squad of that year was renowned for doing the unusual. Big "Zeke" Mercer of Blooiraburg who played during- those bleak years brings out a point in connection with the morale of any losing team. According- to "Zeke," the fellows who play today have little to complain of in regards to bad knocks on the gridiron. He observes that a losing team takes all the bumps in the business, but continues playing because its members love to play, regardless of ability. An indication of the vital shortage of manpower found within our walls at that time is shown by the fact that only twenty-seven players made the trip to Lock Haven to be manhandled to the tune of a 64-0 score. Contrast that figure with the number of boys that travel to away games this year. The morale of the squad must have been quite high, though, because they rebounded from the Lock Haven massacre to fight a highly touted Shippensburg eleven on almost even terms before succumbing by a lone touchdown. The Homecoming game with Kutztown was considered a moral victory, too, though the Huskies lost that counter aso by one touchdown. An interesting sidelight of the 1937 season is the fact that Coach Austin Tate fielded a football team composed of twenty boys who had never worn football togs before. Two of these lads were Ray Fritz from Orangeville and Paul Barrall from Mifflin. Yet, with such a terrific shortage of talent , the Huskies managed to field a junior varsity. True, It didn't fare too well, but that wasn't the point. What mattered was that everyone who desired to do so had an opportunity to play football. This year the varsity Is composed of over fifty men, but only one Jayvee game has been played thus far. The j unior varsity of 1937 came up with one victory, a 12-6 decision over Northumberland High School. The varsity managed to win two games this year, defeating Millersville in the opener and edging Stroudsburg in the fi nale. Sure, we should try to forget there ever was a day when Bloomsburg wasn't a terror in collegiate circle*. But, it's worth knowing that the Husky eleven of this day is one to be proud of and admired, and above all, supported. The figure read one day in assembly by President Aj idruss wasn't too far off the actual number of students who do attend games, 'Tls no wonder the moon in the nky remains aloof. He should be brought to the ground every time one of our many talented backs scores or one of the bruising linemen smashes through to smear the opposing backs. Ah yes, but It's futile to sermonize, It all comes to the same end anyway. The Huskies continue to win and the crowd, the B.S.T.C. crowd , continues to stay away. Maybe we need a Bill Veock around here , or something. Spooking of baseball, all credit must be Riven to Danny Lltwhllur's All Stars who were here laat week.

L. M & G Sports Editor Interviews Players Ron Northey and Billy Cox may think the St. Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers, respectively, were the best teams in the National League this past season , but Vern Bi ckford , sensational rookie pitcher, has proof that his Braves were the pick of the crop. "Sure," said Bickford in response to Ron Northey "s assertion at Mt. Olympus last week that all the clubs were as strong as ever, "we're all good , but the Braves led the league in hitting; we led the league in fieldi n g, and we had the best pitching record. How can you beat that?" Hoping to avert an inevitable debate on the subj ect, the line of talk was steered to the World Series in which Bickford had a not too successful turn on the mound. "Cleveland," said Verne, "is a good, sound ball club with a great manager, who very definitely is the greatest shortstop In the business." Asked what he thought of Bobby Feller , Bickford replied that Feller was not as fast as he had been represented, but did throw a curve ball that he , Bickford , considered the best he had ever seen thrown. Bickford surprised himself by going into his first World Series con- Big Leaguers Trounce Locals by 13*2 Score The College diamond provided the setting for the Maj or League Stars to defeat the Tri-County All Stars 13-2. Bobby Rhawn , Who formerly hailed from Catawissa and is now with the New York Giants, scored five times and hud three hits, one a triple. Stan "Bubber " Kline , the veteran Mifflinvill e shortstop, finished as the hittin g star for the losers, getting three of his team 's five hits. Paul Strausser and Don Kline collected the other two hits. Despite inclement weather, this same attracted an estimated crowd of 1500 who remained until the lost out in the ninth. ? test feeling as if he were j ust going to pitch an onlinary ball game. But for some r eason , oth er than nervousness, he lacked his usual control and was unusually wild during his tenure on the hill. Bickford, who came up to the Braves this season from Milwaukee to become one of the outstanding pitchers in the National League, exhibited a baseball acumen rarely found in pitchers as he analyzed the Braves from the big chief down to the little papoose batboy. He said he couldn 't disagree with any newspaper stories describing Manager Billy Southworth's attributes as either a manager or a man , except that he is probably even a greater man than he has been credited with being. The Braves all think highly of Stanky who is all that has ever been said of him. Bickford thinks Stanky should be admired because of his capacity for sparking a team when he actually is a player of very little natural ability . Bickford could find no fault with shortstop Alvin Dark , who, according to him , will eventually blossom into one of the best ever. Elliot is a good third baseman , but he could not say whether he rated an award as the most valuable player In the league'. The Boston hurler was also high on outfielder Jim Russel whom he rates as one of the outstanding defensive players in baseball. Asked if he had any preference for a battery mate, Bickford unhesitatingly chose Phil Masl. Masl, he said , Ls as good, if not better , on defense , than Walker Cooper of the Glnnts. Bickford also expresses the opinion that Curt Simmons, the Phils' big bonus pitcher, would eventually become a standout in the league because of the poise and confidence which he has in addition to the great natural ability he possesses. He did think , though , that Simmons would have been better prepared for> the big time if he could have been kept in the minors a bit longer. Bill MeCahan of the A's, who had been sitting quietly during this discourse (an unusual occurrence for him) broke into the conversation here to add his concurrence to Bickford' s opinion. Bill Foxed 'Em • McMahan , the chubby, good-natured righthander, said he was more peeved than nervous in the final inning of his no hit performance against the Washington Senators. He believes they played a dirty trick on him by sending in three pinch-hitters, all of whom were left handed batters. He retired the side , anyway. Bill says that Connie Mack still calls all the decisions for the Athletics and is as efficient as ever. Hank Maj eski and Ferris Fain are given most of the credit by MeCahan for the surprising surge of the A's this year. Cox Prefers "The Bums" Billy Cox, rated among the best infielders in baseball, would rather play ball for Brooklyn, under Shotten, but would like to play every day. He expressed a violent dislike for his former manager, Leo Durocher, and "knows " the Dodgers could have won the pennant easily by ten games if Shotten had been manager from the start of the season. Carl Furillo backs Cox up on this sentiment. Bill doesn't know what new players would be coming up to the Dodgers next season , but did think it was perfectly o.k. to let players go after their usefulness to the club was over. He stated that there was no race difficulty between the White and colored players on the squad , and thought that catcher Ray Campanella will soon be recognized as the outstanding catcher in either league. He believes Jackie Robinson should be kept at second base where the Negro star feels more at home. tie was emphatic in his declaration tjiat Martin Marlon Is no longer as great a shortstop as he once was. "Brookl yn ? No, the Card*" "The Cardinals were the best team in the National League," maintain s Ron Northey, power-hitting outfield- , er, "but we j ust didn 't get the breaks. Kurowski and Schoendienst , along with some of our pitchers, were out most of the season with Inj uries nnd we still finished close, " Northey denied that the Cards were too old and backs up this statement by quoting statistics that show For the first time this season, the Huskies found themselves trailing the opposing team, but came back strong to edge a surprisingly strong Millersville eleven by a 20-13 score. Dan Parrell was the offensive star in this contest as he gained 117 yards on twenty-three ties and kept himself among the state's leading point getters »by tallying thirteen points on two touchdowns and an extra point. Game Slowed by Fumbles The Huskies hindered their attack considerably by fumbling ten times during the fray with several of their miscues coming near pay-dirt. Millersville wasn't immune to this epidemic either, throwing the ball away on three occasions. Millersville Scores First The Millersville Marauders ended all hopes of an unscored upon season by the Huskies when they crossed the Husky goal line in the first quarter and added another six-pointer in the final period. The first Millersville score came after a 67-yard drive that was touched off by a pass from John Dougherty to Gabe Geiger that was good for fifty-six yards to the Bloomsburg seventeen. Several plays later, Geiger scored from the three yard line, but Kreiser a n d Paternoster charged thr ou gh to bl ock th e kick f or the point. It w asn 't until late in the second quarter that the Huskies could find pay territory, and even then, the extra point try failed and Husky rooters found themselves wondering. Blocked Kick Aids Huskies The Husky dynamite was finally ignited in the second quarter when Elmer Kreiser blocked a Millersville kick that was recovered by the Huskies on the Marauder forty-nine. Angelo Albano and Parrell alternated at carrying the ball until a first down was made on the thirty-seven. After a three yard loss by Kriss, Apichella completed a pass to Kreiser for another first down, this one on the twenty-seven. Apichella jus t missed a first down and Parrell carried to the ten for the first down from where on the next play he lateraled off to Apichella who moved the ball to within a yard of the goal. Kriss went off tackle for the score, but Johns' kick was partially blocked and the score was tied, 6-6. Huskies Dominate Flay Hereafter, the play was dominated by the Huskies who failed to run up a larger margin of victory only because of their numerous fumbles. Parrell added the second Husky score after a Millersville fumble had been recovered on the eleven yard line of the Marauders. Dan also scored the extra point on a line buck. Millersville scored in the final quarter , but the Huskies took the ball on the kickoff and marched to the final touchdown of the night. After reaching the seventeen yard marker, Parrell took j ust two plays to cover the remaining distance to the goal, the first play netting fourteen yards and the second a touchdown. Albano passed to Paternoster for the extra point. the Braves to be four years older per man than the Cardinals. Asked whether he thought the National League to be as strong as ever, he said if anything it was stronger and shrugged off the prevailing notion that it was weaker as j ust so much "poppycock" thought up by some newspaper writer from whence the stoiy spread. He's glad to have Eddie Dyer remain as manager and feels that he is one of the best in baseball. Quizzed about the Trl-County players he was opposing, Northey said they .were abou t as good an amateur group as he had ever seen and was particularly keen about centerflelder Reese.

Dick Sass, purveyor of "Odds and Ends " on the Slippery Rock Rocket, evidently feels that someone has rattled his cage.

" Dick's recommendation was that " . . . the exchange editor (of The Rocket) . . . burn all forthcoming issues of the aforementioned papers (among them The Maroon and Gold) as soon as they are received."

Wall er Hall Girls Devise Phone System In order to avoid the usual confusion of in-coming telephone calls and the monopolizing of floor phones, a different system of receiving and recording calls has been put into effect in the Waller Hall Dormitory for girls. Every night a different girl is on duty on each floor from 7 to 10:30 p.m. She checks on a special sheet near the booth all calls and messages received. It is her duty to limit local calls to ten minutes and to limit all long distance calls reasonably. No calls are to be received after 11:00 p.m. except in case of extreme emergency. Special schedule cards will be filled out by all dormitory girl s as soon as the forms arrive. These are to be kept on file at each telephone desk. This is designed to enable the receptionist to determine whether the girl is In class or not.

R eminiscences (Continued from page 1) There were once two eagles with outspread wings, one on either side of the top of the st eps at the end of Senior Walk. Do you recall their fate? It seems, that because of their enormous spread, they were having continuous brushes with the public and were coming out a sad second. Then some ingenious person noted that the steps were wider at the bottom than at the top and suggested switching the eagles with Leo and Leona (the lions which you see there now). Leo and Leona were very obliging and the transfer was underway, when the cry arose , "The British lion is being placed above the American eagle!" Thi s would never do, so the proud eagles were restored to their seat of perilous prestige, where they came to an untimely end. The pergola in the Grove was used fo r pl ays , p ut on by traveling New Yoi-k performers. It was also utilized f or the Ivy Day Exe rcises, when this annual event was more elaborately observed than it is today. (The pergola is no longer used because classes end much earlier in the spring than they did when the monument was presented by the Class of 1916 ; the :profusion of poison ivy in the Grove has made it impractical.) The pinery was planted in the form of a star with each tree commemorating a boy from the College who gave his life in World War I. (Much discussion has been held on the subj ect iof a fitting memorial for World War LL» but as far as we know there has been no definite decision as yet.)
