Gridders Come from Behind To Down
East Stroudsburg in 28*22 Thriller
Many Injuries Mark Final
Game of Season as Huskies
Meet Toughest Opposition

4

For the fourth time this season the

B.S.T.C. footballers were forced to
come from behind to place the victory on the ledger. In last week's
season finale at Athletic Park , the
victim was East Stroudsburg , perhaps the toughest club the Huskies
have met this season. The finale score
was 28-22.
In a game marked by rough, hard
play, twelve senior footballers played
their last college f ootball , racking up
the eighth straight win during the
season. The victory was the twentieth out of the last twenty - one
games for those seniors, with exception of Bob Leshinski , a transfer

player.
The Huskies blocked and tackled
harder than they ever had before,
with Stroud players constantly being
helped off the field after having a
Bloom player knock the wind out of
them. Steve Kriss bulled his way
around so hard that on one occasion
Stroud's Barndt was knocked out
and taken to the hospital after colliding head-on with the Husky star
wingback. Bloomsburg suffered in
the casualty list, too , with Bob Leshinski inj ured on a punt return , and
Paul Slobozien inj uring his leg. Both
received hospitalization.
The Indians punted three plays
after receiving the opening kickoff ,
and Leshinski returned the ball 10
yards to the Husky 45. It was on
this play that the Plains halfback
was inj ured. A sustained drive carried to the Stroudsburg 1yard stripe,
with Ed Tavalsky carrying 14 yards
Dn a line buck, Reedy sneaked across
for the initial tally, and Tavalsky
tasked on the one-pointer.

The 1949 Bloomsburg State Teachers College football season, if not the
most successful in the school' s history, was surely the most colorful
and thrilling. Winning eight and losing only one, the opener, the powerladen Huskies combined a newlyestablished aerial assault with an
already institutional ground attack.
The Maroon and Gold had to come
from behind in four contests this
season, but never-the-less ended the
year with a second consecutive claim
to the Teachers College crown. The
defense, although not as effective as
in '48, held opponents to a scant 90
points, while the offense rolled up
one of the State's highest totals, 229.
Wilkes Snaps String
In the season's opener at Plymouth, the Husky forces lost their
first football contest since the Shippensburg fray during the 1947 season. The Wilkes gridders, taking advantage of Husky miscues, were outscored in statistics, but triumphed in
the scoring column, 20-7. An intercepted pass set up the first Wilkes
tally, and another interception was
run the distance to put the winners
out in front 14-0. Kriss ended a
sustained march by reversing for the
only Bloomsburg score, and Tavalsky
kicked the extra point to make the
score stand 14-7. Wilkes clinched the
upset by scoring at the end of the
contest on a 60 yard pass play.
Mansfield Crushed
An aroused and improved Husky
machine pushed Mansfield all over
Berwick's Crispin F i e l d as the
Bloomsburgers hit winning w a y s
once again with a decisive 26-0 win.
Reedy sneaked across the line for
the initial score, followed by Lichty's
plunge for a tally, and Kriss' famed
reverse. The last TD was added on
a pass between reserves Stefanik and
Dietz. Tavalsky converted twice.

than two minutes remaining, and

The evening of Friday, November
11, will go down in B.S.T.C. annals as
one of the memorable dates of the
year. With about seven hundred students on campus, the Day Men held
their pre-game shindig consisting of
a huge bon fire , pep rally, parade,
and a round and square dance.
The fun started on the training
school field at seven o'clock. Student
spirits were as high as the blazing
bonfire. Between cheers, several campus groups attired in comical costumes bore signs inscribed with hopeful predictions on the Stroud-Bloom
tussle. Last year's goal post from
the game was trotted across the field
as a pleasant reminder. Queen of tbe
affair, Terry 'Cierlitsky ordered an
enemy football dummy tossed into
the fire. The crowd roared its approval and at the suggestion of mustachioed Mr. Hoeh, the parade moved
toward the business district. Exhuberant snake lines weaved through
jammed traffic before the paraders
gathered at the city square for a few
more rousing cheers.

Booters Close Season
With Win over Wilkes
And 4*3-1 Record

Coach Harold Shelly 's soccer charges came through with their fourth
win of the season to break a four*
game winless streak and put the club
above the .500 mark for the season.
Winning over Wilkes College, 3-1, on
Mt . Olympus , the Husky booters
closed out the 1949 schedule with a
4-3-1 record.
Held scoreless during the first half ,
the soccermen pushed two goals
through in the third period and added the clincher in the last quarter.
Mensinger scored both Husky tallies
in the third frame, while Dick Gearhart did the honors on the last
Bloomsburg score. Wilkes scored in
the last half minute of play on a
close corner shot by Hoover.

ached. Every muscle, every tendon contracted to rock hardness; I

Come from Behind

( Continued from page 1)
After kicking off again, the Huskies regained possession when Stroud
was forced to punt , this time Appichella returning 16 yards to the visitors ' 46. The drive was capped by a
Kriss - to - Tavalsky pass that the
Johnstown end caugh t beautifully in
the end zone. Tavalsky had an Indian
covering him so closely that most
f ans thought he was going to be
scalped; but he plucked the pigskin
from the blue to put the Maroon and
Gold in front 13-0. Tavalsky 's tallywise toe added another point to the
Husky cause.
Stroud came back fast with Jackie
Swartz passing and the fast backs
putting the ball on the Bloom 3 yard
lin e, only to lose the ball on downs.
Af ter Lambrinos punted out , Swartz
passed for 29 yards to the 1, then
sneaked across to put Strouds in the
scoring column.
The Huskies' thi rd touchdown took
seven play s, culminated by Witchaboo Lang 's 12 yard pass to Kreiser,
who bulled his way over the line for
the score. Tavalsky successfully converted to make it 21-7.
The third period found the visitors
taking the kickoff and scoring four
plays later. Three Swartz passes accounted for 74 yards and a touchdown. The Indians put Bloom in the
hold on th e ensuing kickoff and nailed Dan Parrell in the end zone making the score 21-16.
Bloomsburg rolled to the Indian 41,
but Lang couldn 't control a pitchout
and Stroud's Moyer grabbed the ball
and lateraled to Harminson who
went the distance for his second
touchdown and the 22nd Stroudsburg
point.
The Huskies marched straight to
the Stroudsburg goal-line after the
kickoff , with Parrell plunging for the
winning tally. Tavalsky split the uprights for the fourth time during the
afternoon. Bloomsburg controlled the
ball throughout much of the remaining time and victory number eight
was in the record book.
The Redman aggregation was effective on the ground , rolling up 264
y ards on the ground, compared to
Stroud's 66. The Indians ate up 183
y ards by air, compared to the Huskies' 90. First downs were 19 to 11, in
the w inn ers' favor.

Stroud Gam e Ends Collegiate Play for 12 Seniors
I

Graduation Steals
Dozen Key Gridmen
From Husky Squad

Tim e Oat!— —
FOR

SPORT S
by Chris Klinedinst

Twelve seniors played their last
football contest for Bloomsburg State
T eachers College last S a t u r d a y
against East Stroudsburg , and what
;i humdinger they played. Husky
fans have rarely, if ever, seen such
a hard fought contest staged by local
grid forces. The blocking was outstanding, the tackling vicious. We'd
be afraid to estimate the number of
inj ured Stroudsburg players during
th at game. Fortunately only one was
liurt to any extent — Paul Barndt ,
who was released from the Bloomsburg Hospit al earlier in the week and
allowed to return to school. The
others injur ed merely were the victims of terrifi c blocks that knocked
the wind out of their sails.
On the other hand, the Bloomsburg
forces suffered fewer injuries but of
a more severe nature. Perhaps the
hardest lilt was Bob Leshinski, who
has spent several days in the hospital
with inj uries of the face. Paul Slohozien , to the best of our knowledge,
had a severly injured leg, and also
spent some time at the hospital.
Stevo Kriss had a leg injury, as did
John Maturani, both of whom missed
part of the second half in the season
finale. Let's all hope these fellows
are up, around , and healthy very
soon.
Steve Kri ss, incidentally, is BSTC' s
prayer for All-State honors this year.
The sterling wingback performances
he has come up with in the last four
years have been nothing less than
spectacular, and we doubt if many, if
any, Husky fans has ever seen the
Berwick lad make a serious mistake
on the gridiron. His game is the
reliable, consistent type. Last year 's
All-Stater, Elm Kreiser also will
have to be considered for honors, at
least conf erence , but to most Bloom
followers , Steve definitely should receive NO LESS than All-State.
Joe Apichella was bothered by bad
legs all season and didn 't have much
chance to make his bid for honors.
Witchaboo Lang, however, played a
consistent game and should be in the
thick of the race. The Milton halfback doesn't play the type of game
that labels players as Ail-Americans,
bu t always could be depended on for
a steady game and plenty of yardage.
Witch has two more years to make
his bid to State-wide gridiron fame.
Another gridder making a serious
bid for All-State and All-Conference
laurels is Ed Tavalsky, who played
perhaps his finest game of the past
season against the Indians from the
Poconos. Ed came through with four
extra points in a like number of
tries , and made a beautiful running
catch over his shoulder of a Steve
Kriss pass. Ed gathered the ball up
in. the end zone and hit the club
house j ust a few yards beyond the
diagonal striped area. Ed was the
leading scorer for the Huskies , scoring two touchdowns and hitting for
twenty - five extra points, including
his game - winner against Shippensburg. An able pass receiver , Ed is
every bit as good a blocker and tackier, and we believe Ed is in line for
honors of some sort. Other Huskies
worthy of mention as All-Stars are
John Maturani , who was a standout
on the defense, George Lambrinos,
who passed the Huskies to victories
over Shlppensburg and Lock Haven,
Rod Morgans, a smart tackle , Jim
Reedy and Dapper Dan Parrell , backfleld aces, plus about forty other

Like the undefeated 1948 Husky
football eleven, the 1949 B. S. T. C.
football team is now history. Twelve
seniors, all of whom have made
Bloomsburg football power what it is
today, played their last game for the
Maroon and Gold cause.
The deeds of these Husky gridders
are almost legendary. Missing from

Steve Kriss, Ji m Reedy , Bob Leshinski , Joe Api chell a, Pa u l Slobozien ,
John Maturani , Berni DePaul, Lou
G abri el , Willis Swales, Dick Wilford,
Rodney Morgans, and Ed Jones. All
t old , four backs , three centers, three
guards, one tackle and one end have
played their last for Bloomsburg.
Steve Kriss, a Berwick product, is
one of the finest backs ever to play
for the Huskies. A former Marine,
Steve performed at wingback, specializing on wide reverses. He teok
his turn at passing and receiving
tosses. Steve played a consistent
game every time he took the field ,
and this year has made his bid for
conference honors.
Jim Reedy followed Lefty Danks
from Milton in 1946 and has been a
Husky standout ever since. A fullback for his first three years in college ranks, Jim switched to blocking
back and signal caller this year when
Coach Redman was short on quarterbacks. The Husky offense really rolled when Jim called signals.
Apichella, a tailback from Hazleton, was hampered this season with
a pair of sore legs, but saw limited
action as safety man on the defense.
His worth was shown in his brilliant
performances last year as a scatback
and passer.
Leshinski transferred from Mansfield Sta t e wher e he pe r formed f or
Ted Casey. Leshinski was the regular safety man in Coach Redman 's
defense. His punt returns have aided
the Husky cause all season. Bob was
inj u red in the final game with
Stroudsburg arid had been hampered
by leg inj uries all season. He is a
Plains product.
Paul Slobozien is one of the finest
all-around athletes ever to attend
Bloomsburg. Also a basketball and
baseball stalwart, Paul played center, backing up the line on the de(Continued on page 4)

Last week the old corner dope peddler hit the second best average of
the current campaign. We missed
six games, including one tie, while
correctly calling twenty - four winners, for an .828 record. This brings
the season's average to a respectable
.810 average, with ninety-four wins
against twenty-two losses.
We missed the Georgia Tech-Alabama game, in addition to the TCU Texas, Cornell - Dartmouth , North
Carolina State - Wake Forest , and
Mich. State - Oregon State upsets.
Georgia was tied by Auburn.

Of» Aromatic Spirits, School Spirit, etc. . . .
Feeling as if he had been pulled through the knot hole in the Doghouse
door, this correspondent seats himself at the console of the Corona , and
fortified with a copio us draught of aromatic spirits, begins to think ba ck
over what was probably the most spirited week-end in Husky history. From
the bon fire Friday evening to the fin al whistle at Athletic Park late Saturday afternoon , it was decidedly a five-bark occasion. However, with a mild
case of something or the other in the region of the solar plexus , pl u s an
assortment of aches and pains picked up at the square dance, it's difficult
to write with glowing obj ectivity. Mrs. Doghouse has checked her manual
on the care of pets, husbands, and other household critters and has decided
that it might be a case of distemper. But, getting back to the subj ect again ,
our week-end needs no one to speak for it, anyhow. We had one of the
finest demonstrations of school spirit ever; and as for the game itself , it was
one of the finest demonstrations of team spirit seen here or anywhere else.
We can j ustly make the claim that we have more spirit per square foot of
campus than any other college in the country .

The Prodigal Owl . . .
For the first time in years the Science Hall owl has failed to make his
November appearance, and unless he returns within the next several weeks,
we shall place his name among the missing and see that an appropriate
service is conducted in his memory. However, since his favorite ventilator
shaf t has been boarded-up, there is the possibility that he migh t have viewed
this as an unfriendly act and moved himself to East Stroudsburg or some
other outlandish place, out of pure spite. It is a known fact that the screening examination at phys. ed. schools have on occasion permitted owls and
other feathered fauna to filter through. But please don't misunderstand
these harmless observations. No one is accusing anyone of fowl play. Besides, we are interested only in learning whether our owl has shuffled off
the mortal coil, or whether he has merely moved elsewhere.

from n
Johnstown.
John Maturani was the second half If
of the Bloomsburg pivot punch . John n
shared offense duties with Slobozien a
and DePaul, and was one of the most t
t errific line backers ever to play /
football for B.S.T.C. John also came 2
from Milton in 1946.
Bernie DePaul rounded out the >
center staff for the past four years. .
Despite his small size, Bernie has ;
played outstanding football , particu- ¦
larly on the offense; as was evidenced !
by the firs t touchdown of his college
career at Kutztown during the past
season. A Berwick product , Berni e
was the lightest Husky lineman in
1949.
Lou Gabriel , Hazleton guard , came
in to his own as *an offensive guard
this year when he played a vital role
in Coach Redman 's forward wall. Lou
weighed in at a hefty 235 pounds and
rolled over all opposition.
Gone also will be Willis Swales,
South Williamsport guard , who made
up for lack of weigh t in good Husky
figh t and spirit. One of the fastest
guards on the squad , "Bill" started
many a game for the Maroon and
Gold , and this year was used extensively in the "kicking off" pl a toon
because of his speed.
Dick Wolford, another slight but
rugged guard, played his last game
against Stroudsburg. The M i l t o n
stalwart is also one of Lefty Danks'
boys. Dick shared the kicking - off
duties during the past season.
Rod Morgans has been rated as
one of the smartest defensive tackles
In S.T.C football. It is almost impossible to take him completely out
of a play. A big, rugged ball player,
Rod hails frojn South Williamsport.
Rod weighs 213 and has been a starter for the past three campaigns.
Ed Jones , another Milton boy, has
performed for the Huskies for four
y ears also, coming with the other
Danks ' players. The towering terminal saw only limited action in 1949
because of an ankle inj ury but has
won his share of varsity letters. Ed
is also a basketball performer.
Three additional Huskies , no t yet
seniors , have played their last game
for Bloomsburg. Because of eligibility
reasons Elmer Kreiser , Henry Marek
and Dick Jarman will be missed when
the 1950 grid season rolls around.
Kreiser, tall Columbia end, has
been a standout performer for the
past three years, earning All-Conference honors in 1948. Marek has played a vital role as reserve end for the
past three seasons. He is from Dupont. Jarman played at B.S.T.C. for
two seasons , gaining a starting role
during the past season. A transfer
student , the Plymouth footballer had
played at Dickinson College.
