Ha ppy Vacatio ning Many Teachers an d Administrators Attend Sec. Ed. Conference "A now look at the schools ' p u blic relations program " was the theme around which the annual Secondary Education Conference revolved on Saturday, March 25, in Carver A uditori um. Dr. Ernes t H. Englehardt , director of Secondary Education , plann ed a varied and interesting pro gram for teachers and school administrators of the Bloomsburg service area. Dr. Jesse Burkhead , Professor of Economics, Maxwell School of Citizenship, Sy racuse University, opened the general session speaking on "The Pennsylvania Revenue Problem." Dr. Burkhead, who has written a series of articles for the Pennsylvania School Journal on financial pi\>blems, outlined the possible solutions of our difficulty. He expressed the hope that we would not take the easy way out —that of raising additional revenue by adopting a sales or income tax— without first considering the needed improvement in existing property taxes. An outstanding personality in the field of public relations, Roy K. Wilson, Assistant Director, Press and Radio relations, National Education Associatlofl , based his speech on the seven q ualities that a community public relations program should have. Honest in approach, intrinsic in value, continuous in application , positive in con tent , comprehensive in scope, sensitive to public concern and simple in manner — these qualifications will mark any public relations program as a successful venture. Mr. Wilson further described specific public relations programs of varied natures which have been successful in securing community interest and aid in school affairs. Following the general session, the conference continued with three discussion groups : "Good Teachers are Good Salesmen ," led by Dr. John B. Kennedy, Su perin t enden t of Schools , Kingston : "New Ideas in Newspaper —Radio Publicity for Schools" headed by Orrin Cocks, Supervising Principal, Watsontown ; and "School Financial Problems Facing Administrators and Directors" with Superintendent Fred Diehl, Montour County Schools, as chairman. After the panel group had introduced the topics, a very beneficial and enlightening discussion followed. A short summary of each discussion was presented by the group chairmen at the luncheon which included the conference program. A vocal duet with Joseph Curilla and Alekl Communtzis , accompanied by Athamantea Communtzis was given after the general session. Music at the luncheon was furnished by Thomas Jones on the marimba accompanied by Richard Wagner.

Ha ppy Vacationin g Morning Press Plays Host to Students From Ben Franklin The Morning Press, town newspaper, recently were hosts to the pupils of the Sixth Grade of the Benj amin Franklin School of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. The group's obj ect was to see how a newspaper is made. The boys and girls have been studying and learning about newspapers, and the class was invited to visit the office of the local newspaper by Mr. Paul Eyerly . On the tour or the paper, Mr. Eyerly explained the various steps necessary in the publishing of a daily paper, indicating how news was gathered and edited. He showed the group the linotype machines , type-setting, and proof-reading. The composition of the comic strips and the making of cuts for pictures were of special interest to the young visitors. They were also shown the operation of the large printing presses. The much-enjoyed visit was planned by Miss Arlene Pope, a student teacher under the direction of Miss Edna J. Barnes, Sixth Grade training teacher. Day Men 's Movie an d Smoker Well Attended By College Community The Day Men , under the able sponsorship of Dr. Ralph Herre , made possible a most enj oyable evening of fun and entertainment as well as refreshments for the entire college community last Thursday, March 23. The Day Men 's Smoker and Movie was held in the Waller Hall Lounge at 7:30 p.m. The Day Men did all the work and still paid the bills. The College Community showed their appreciation by thoroughly enj oying themselves and coming ou t to h a ve an evening of free entertainment. By means of two moving-picture cameras the movies went on continuously until all of the reels were run. The show included pictures on footb all , ar chery, wrestling, boxing, and also cartoons. Hats off to the day men for a swell time! Bloomsburg State Teachers College was represented at the First Annual Career Conference of the Montoursville High School Thursday, March 23. 'Dr. Ralph S. Herre served as consultant to the group interested in teaching as a career.

Student Bod y E njoys Anot h er I n S eries of Colleg e Talent Shows Once again student talent shone as they proceeded to present another all-student assembly talent program , Tuesday, March 28. The assembly committee deserves some congratulations for. the splendid work they are doing. The progra m was under the direction of David Newberry who also acted as Master of Ceremonies. The show got under way with a piano solo by Mary Joan Williams, a freshman. Miss Williams played two selections — "Polon aise in A Maj or," and "Minute Waltze" both by Chopin. Joseph Curilla displayed his fine voice once again as he sang "A Little Song " by Clifford Shaw accompanied by Richard Wagner. Joe will be remembered for his part in several duets with Aleki Comuntzis as well as for several solos. A shy young man was next on the program. Tom Jones, though a sophomore in the college, first showed his versatility to the college community about a month ago. We had to find Tom ; he wouldn 't come to us. Tom played two selections on his mirimba or "wood pile " as he calls it. Dick Wagner accompanied him on the piano as he played "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," and Dancing Tambarine" both of which were arranged by John B. Quik. Alecki Comuntzis was next on the agenda with two vocal selections. Her sister, Mondo Comuntzis accompanied her on the piano for "Lovelight in Your Eyes" and "The Turtle " by Werdmann. An always-welcomed piano duet by Dick Wagner and Emory Rarig gave the finishing touch to the marvellous performance. Dick and Emory closed the program with "Hungarian Rhapsody #2" by Franz Liszt. As they proceeded to ivorize the virtuoso composition , the audience was surprised to discover the source of the melody of the popular song "Musi c, Music , Music. " Th e d u o h andled the difficult composition superbly and students were heard to comment that the down-town team couldn 't do much better. Wagner and Rarig did an encore number of the ever-beautiful "Maliguena. " When the program was completed , Mr. Fenstemaker seated himself at the organ and accompanied the College Community as it sang the "Alma Mater." Nancy Powell was in charge of the devotional exercises.

The program consisted of piano solos by the students of Mr. Hopkins. The first part of the program was given by the elementary group of students. The program opened with a selection called "Swaying Silver Birche s" played by Elizabeth Houston. This selection was followed by two numbers by Ship Shelley, "Cuckoo Clock" and "Little Spring Song." Carol Travelpiece continued the program with "Banj o Players," "Swan and the Butterfly ," and "Hookay 's Shuffle ." Jobee Martin took his seat at the piano next. Jobee played "At the Fairies Ball , " "Drink to Me Only With Thin e Eyes, " and "Chords on Parade." Jobee was so impressed with his first number and he liked it so well that he also played his own ( Continued on page 2) N.S.A. Art Exhibit Postponed Until Further Notice The N.S.A.

Miss J ane Keller To R eign as Queen of May Day Festivities Lovely Jane L. Keller of Bloomsburg was chosen May Queen of 1950 by a popular vote of the student body on Friday, March 24. Miss Keller, a popular senior in the Elementary course, is the daughter of Professor and Mrs. George Keller. The eight members elected as her court are : Susan A. Dreibelbis, Bloomsburg; Mrs. Jane P. Kepping, Hazleton ; Lucy Jane Baker, Bloomsburg ; Betty J. Ridall, Town Hill ; Jean Kelder, New Albany; Honey A. Tarole, Bethlehem; Terry A. Cierlitsky, Tamaqua ; and Elizabeth W. Reece, West Grove. The Queen and her court were chosen from a group of 21 candidates who were nominated by members of the senior class. Miss Keller, as Queen, will preside over the May Day ceremony which is to be held May 10. Coach Redman and Dean Hoch Guests of Milton Service Clubs Robert B. Redman , head football coach of the College, and John A. J-Ioch, assistant grid mentor, were guests of the three service clubs of Milton at the First Annual All-Sports Banquet hold last night to honor the Milton High School athletic teams and their coaches.

Philo, Marsilio, and Ryan Complete List of Successful C.G.A. Election Candidates Although the intensity of political campaigning did not reach the same level this year that it did in the past, several events of this "season " are not to go unnoticed. In keeping with what seems to be tradition by now, the Waller Lounge was colorfully be-decked with numerous banners and placards, announcing candidates for office. Contrasting colors presented their messages boldly from the banners. For those who paused to look more closely, the placards carried various slogans declaring the virtues and abilities of several of the more ambitious candidates. Election eve was highlighted, for the second year in succession, by a campaign dance. Informality was the keynote of the affair as dancing was enj oyed in Waller Lounge from eight until nine-thirty o'clock. Arrangements for this social event were begun by Max Kaplan. Complications arose, however , in the matter of securing an orchestra, although everyone expressed pleasure as a result of the music provided by the aggregation of musicians assembled during the evening. Jack Swartz and Andy Maceiko, alto sax and accordion , formed the nucleus around which the group was built. In a short time these two were j oined by Dick Wagner, at the piano. Next to arrive was Bill Gilbert with his tenor sax. A five-man combo remained when, upon the arrival of two trumpet players from the Maynard Laubach orchestra, Macieko left the group. The bass intrumentalists, Jerry Remley and George Heller, Jr., are associated with the pianist in the local orchestra from Berwick. During a short intermission, all candidates who were present were introduced by Max Kaplan. Most of these persons responded with bows, although Tony Grabowski added a few weighty comments. All those who were in attendance will remember the "bandwagon " entrance of Claire Davis, whose political campaign was directed by Donald Butcofsky. Further ado was in order in Carver Hall Auditorium on election morning. The arch of the stage, the sides of the balcony, and several of the doors carried banners and cards as reminders of a number of candidates. On the auditorium seats were placed mimeographed pleas, in the form of a defense for some campaign speech remarks, asking members of the college community to "vote for Cal." The real flurry of the assembly period was provided when, during the announcement period , balloons and tags bearing the name of Dick Kressler came floating down from the balcony. The political operations of this aspirant for the office of vice president seemed to be supported to some degree by the Day Men 's Association. ~ ~ ( Continued on page 2) Dean Hoch To Att end Guidance Conferen ce Dean of Men, John A. Hoch, will serve on the staff of professional consultants at the Ninth Annual West Pittston Guidance Conference, to be held today, March 31. The affair annually attracts more than 1200 high school students from the Greater Pittston area. The West Pittston High School will serve as the host for the conference. Dean Hoch will act as counselor for the group interested in becoming teachers. He has been a member of the staff of the clinic for the past three years. \ J fflaroon anb <§olb I PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY AND FO R THE STUDENT S OF BLOOMSBUB G STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE Co-Edi tors Kay E. Chn pln and Merlin Beuciitii A Book Review The Interpretation of Dreams Marie Mattis Edi torial Board Donald Butcofs liy, Robert Canouse , Jounior Kddin ger , nnd WUUnm StimcJlii g have seen and heard candidates anabolating and metabolating the faculty, administration and College Council " to a grea ter or l esser d egree, depending on the office for which they were running . Some of us have agreed with what was said , some o f us h aven 't. But be that as it were , the election campai gning is now over , the candidates have been chosen by popu lar vot e, and the job is just beginning. Have you ever stopped to think what a wonderful C.G.A. ^ve would have if the student body gave one-half the support to the elected officials once they assume office as it gives to putting them t h ere . Take for example the recent balloting for president. The winn er won by the somewhat remarkable margin of 405 popu lar votes. Brother, t h at 's a lot of support. If the newl y elected president had over 400 students supporting him throughout the college year, he would have powers which would make the average faculty member 's hair raise slightl y whenever a student bod y request or gripe was aired. However , college life is not a life of gripes an d requests alone. It is a life of mutual collectiv e effort to better the lives of the entire college community. To do this we must work together; each one contributing in some way to better the other. We must back-up our newly electe d off icers , carrying on a constant campai gn f or b etter stu d ent government. We , the majority, put them there; iet 's ma k e certain t h at t h eir representation "leads not to the grave. " (fd) Is Our Librar y Doing Its J ob? . . . . This week , our college was honored with the presence of a board of review for the Middle Atlantic States of Accredited Colleges. This board was made up of College presidents and other persons high in the field of education. Their purpose in visiting was to inspect the facilities at our school , an d to determine whether or not B.S.T.C. should be admitted as a member of this all-important organization . If admitted , students of Bloomsburg will be able to transfer credits to any other member college. Taking everything into consideration , we believe Bloomsburg will receive a fairly good recommendation. There is, however , one important department that, in our estimation , may block our admission. We refer to our library. It 's probable that the library will be one of t he de partm ents t ha t wi ll un d ergo t h e cl osest scrutiny by t he visiting board, For who can deny that the library is one of the most important sources of information available to the student? Our library needs more new books. Of course , we cannot h ave new books unless the funds are available. Usually, our library does not have a wide enoug h coverage on most subjects , an d w h en t h ere is enough material , it 's inv a ria bly found in outdated books. The student is ever compelled to turn to other sources for his information . Another "grip e" of most students about the library is thai it is always closing. It 's either a basketball game , or a fashion show , or a speaker , or some other event, The obvious psychology of this is to offer less avenues of attraction open for the students, so that more of them will attend the activity. What the administration does not seem to realize is that when some research has to be done on a "rush" project , it must be done immediatel y, regardless of whether or not the student would like to attend the particular community activity. A real boon to the student body would be the opening of the library on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Many precious hours are wasted over the week-end that could otherwise be put to good use. These shortcomings are not the fault or our librarians. Indeed , they are already overlooked. They cannot be expected to purchase new books when they do not have the funds. Neither can they be expected to work longer hours. What we reall y need is another librarian to share the duties and working hours. We , as students , must have tools to work with , as well as a workshop. With an increase in funds, we could have a bigger and better library, and longer hours in which to use it. (jb) (Continued from page 1) Included at various phases throughout the week-or-so preceding the elections were the distribution of book-matches bearing the expression , "Matchless," and of pencils. A group of "Burma-Shave" type signs paved the way between Noetling and Carver Halls presenting another message in behalf of the "vote for Dick" campaign. With the passing of the elections, losers have congratulated the victors (campaign managers as well as candidates) and, with the passing of the signs from Waller Hall Lounge, all is once again back to normal for another year.

The word "No" does not exist in dreams; it is expressed by the inability to do something.

F ORM 1040 AT ' GETTYSBURG One score and 16 years ago our fathers brought forth upon this nation a new tax , conceived in desperation and dedicated to the proposition that all men are fair game. Now we are engaged in a great mass of calculations testing whether that taxpayer or any taxpayer so confused and so impoverished can long endure. Wo are met on form 1040. We have come to dedicate a large portion of our income to a final resting place with those men who here spend thoir lives that they may spend our money. It. is altogether anguish and torture that we should do this. But in the legal sense we cannot evade , we cannot cheat, we cannot underestimate this tax. The collectors , clever and sly, who computed here, have gone far beyond our power to add and subtract. Our creditors will little note nor long remember what we pay here, but the bureau of Internal revenue can never forget what we report here. It is rather for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these vanished dollars we take increased devotion to the few remaining, that we here highly resolve that next year will not find us In a higher Income tax bracket.

Mary Lou Beck continued the program with "Minuet From Don Juan " and "Starlight Waltz. " The second half of the program centered on the more advanced pupils.

To start the spring season with a flourish, you may want to experiment with the white collar look. This simple fashion is designed to go everywhere, everyday, throughout the spring season. Spri n g 's leading motifs are the polka - dot and the minute - check whose blouse-belted , side-split contours are already entrenched in fashion. Certainly they will make an exciting dress for spring. Dramatic bat-wing sleeves combined with the season 's important checks are .fashion news. Two variations on these sleeves are the full cut coat, flowing and smartly belted or the m olded , princess coat with the batwing sleeves which are the more effective because of the simplicity of the rest of the coat. In dresses , slim lines and brief sleeves provide the keynote. This spring 's bare armed "little boy " dress is getting a second look from fashion minded femmes. Gay spring prints are, as always, a safe bet for any spring wardrobe. This season they are being featured with detachable pique collars. As you probably know, navy is the color this spring, with red running second best. See you in the navy, girls! Babbling Brooks by Harry Brooks Moose, the most widely used term on the campus, has virtually become a byword in everyday College Hill conversation. There is no special class or species to which this word applies , but the meaning is an abstraction fitted to the speakers desires. With such liberalities, it is due time that some individual or group of persons compose a song in honor of this word which says so much and yet means so little. To the best song j submitted will only go the reward i attached to a deed such as this. How about it ? If you have any ideas, put them in box 254 within the next three weeks. Should the venture be successful, the official Moose song of the campus will be played at the next inf ormal dance . . . . Cheers to the "Barretts " cast for their fine performance. From Lizzy right down to Mr. Reams' talented canine who barked just at the right time, goes the thanks of the entire college community for another entertaining drama in the annuals of B.S.T.C.'s little theatre. Don 't forget the Junior Prom is coming up on Friday night , April 21st. Plans, committees, and all the ballyhoo needed to co.ncoct an exciting affair are now in the developing stage. Remember, April 21 will be one of the highlights of the second half of the year so be sure to be there . . . . In the last few weeks, the Day Women and the Day Men have presented two enj oyable programs for the test-weary college crowd. The Day Women 's brawl was In form of a Sadie Hawkins dance, while the Day Men presented several action-packed sport films. Now how about the dorm associations throwing a shindig just to let the outside world know we're still alive up here ? Tomorrow at noon marks another prison break for the next twelve days at B.S.T.C. Most of the student body will "bail" for the rest homes today, but to those unfortunates who h ave Saturday classes, we say 'tough luck.' On returning the twelfth of April, many activities will confront us from then until the end of the year. This is j ust an advanced clue to the male members of the campus to bring back a little extra of the Fort Knox stuff. Remember the campus motto . . . . Be prepared. Husky Baseball Squa d Husky Cagers Set New 35 Candid ates Report Continue s Workout s BSTC Scorin g Record To Coach Shelly for For Coming Camp ai gn A recent release, by Coach Harold 1950 Trac k Campaign Despite the fact that Mr. Redman has 38 baseball aspirants out for the squad , the Huskies' chances of repeating last year's performance of twelve games without a setback seem dim. Via the graduation route, several key players have been lost. Two Maroon and Gold stars—Paul Slobozien, John stown ace, and Bob Thomas, Danville, shortstop—are missing from this year 's n ine , but ample replacements are available if the new boys perform as they arc expected. The brightest spot on the whole squad is the mound staff. Big Mike Ev ans , l a st season 's star hurler from Wilkes-Barre who copped five conse.cutive decisions is ready for the opening call. Two other holdovers, Buck Byham, Kane sophomore , six game winner last season, a nd the little Nanticoke senior Henry Brunn , who recorded two victories, are also back. Eddie Piestrak , Dan v ille veteran seems to have the first base positions sewed up, while Dick Hummel, Northumberland stylist, appears to be the outstanding contender for the second sack slot. Coach Redman faces the problem of filling the shortstop post left vacant by Thomas ' gradu ation , and until John Czerniakowski , hardhitting third sacker recovers from automobile inj uries , someone will have to fill in at third base. Stanley LeVan may nail down the backstop position now that George Lambrinos is no longer with the squad. Clair Mensinger, Don Butler, and Hank Marek, letter ^ winners from last season will lead the outfield. Of the many candidates, several will give these vets a run for their positions. The complete roster follows: Pitchers: Mike Evans, Wilkes-Barre ; Bill Byham, Kane; Henry Brunn , Nanticoke; Don Kline, Berwick ; William Savage, Chester; James Thompson, Kane; Clem Makowski, Kulpmont; Don Kear ns , Lewistown ; Dan Fitzpatrick, Northumberland; Ardell Zeigenfuse, Ashland.

"Jim," she whispered , "there's a robber in the house," "Impossible!" was the reply. "In the Senate , yes; but in the House, never!" The squaw and papoose were on the platform at a jerkwat er stop in South Dakota when the train pulled in. A society matron from the East pointed a finger at the papoose and inquired: "Him Inj un?" "Him part Inj un , part inj ineer!" replied the squaw. New Clerk : "What do you do when a person forgets his change?" Manager: "You tap on the counter with a, dollar bill." Shelly, of the 1949-50 B.S.T.C. basketball season statistics shows that the Husky cagers scored 1153 points, establishing a new B.S.T.C. scoring record , averaging 60.8 points per game. Last year the Maroon and Gold squad scored 826 total points. The first eight Varsity basketeers took 1248 total points during the season , completing 424 goals or 34 per cent of their shots; they averaged 65 shots per game. The Huskies shot 430 fouls, chalking up 257 points or 59.7 per cent of fouls taken. In aiding the B.S.T.C. basketball squad , "Tweet" Reed scored 6 points. Thompson and Ksanznak swished in five points each , while "Daly and Williams basket ed four points each. ( Chuck Daly was eli gible for only the La Salle game.) Rittenmeyer, McCaffery, and Raker helped the Husky victories with three , two , and one points re spectively. Houston Univers ity Open s Travel Pro gram To M exico , Guatemala Launching its most comprehensive program since its beginning seven years ago, and introd ucing a new mode of travel by air, the University of Houston International Study Centers are looking forward to a peak enrollment for the coming summer's activities in Mexico and Guatemala , Dr. Joseph S. Werlin , director, said in announcing the 1950 program. This non-profit , all-expense educational venture of the University of Houston will again be divided into tw o centers , the first to be held in Mexico City in cooperation with the University of Mexico, from June 8 t o July 13, the second in Guatemala, July 20 to August 24, in conjun ction with the University of Guatemala. Intended for all students regardless of field of specialization and with all courses taught in English, the study centers appeal particularly to persons interested in sociology , history , Spanish , art , architecture , and all social-cultural aspects of Latin America. Courses carry credit on both graduate and under-graduate levels, or may be attended on a noncredit basis. College veterans are entitled to enroll under the G. I. Educational Act! receiving their tuition and subsistence allotments. Professor David Red, who will teach the art and architecture courses, is a member of the department of architecture at the University of Houston and has traveled extensively through Mexico and Central America. The orientation course on Guatemala is given by outstanding professors and others designated by the University of Guatemala, while the courses in conversational Spanish are given in both centers by trained linguists, attached to the cooperating LatinAmerican universities. To carry out the basic purpose of the Centers of introducing the members to the present-day life and culture of the Latin American countries in meaningful , systematic yet pleasant fashion , the classroom lectures and activities are integrated with numerous field trips, week-end excursions away from the capital cities, and a round of evening entertainment and events. An all-expense arrangement is worked out, Including tuition , airfare traveling, field-trip and living costs. For the Mexico Center this amounts to $325.00 from Houston back to Houston. For the Guatemala Center (including a visit to the Maya ruins of Chichen Itza in Yucatan) the cost is $495.00. Further information can be secured by contacting Dr. Werlin at the University of Houston. "I'm in favor of feeding all starvedone is said, "is A hick town, looking;people in the world," says " \t .

Approximately 35 candidates have reported to Coach Shelly to inaugurate the 1950 track campaign . This is Mr. Shelly 's first year as mentor of the Husky speedsters. It is hoped that more prospects will try out for the v team. A week of good spring weather would certainly be welcomed by Coach Shelly. Practice so far has been confined to the gymnasium. With a tough schedule, including such crack outfits as Cheyney and West Chester , Tutor Shelly will have his hands full trying to get the boys in shape for these meets. Many new faces will appear in this year 's team. Among them will be Joe Feifer, fre shman , who has been showing good form in the half mile. Much interest has been shown in the weights, specifically the shot-put. With the purchase of a new imported Swedish Vaulting Pole, Frank Womer , holdover, is expected to exceed -his 12.6 record of last season. Also among the returnees are Frank Gallo , Bob Conrad, William Gilber t, Harold Lundy, and Bob Lepard. The following men help to complete the track squad : Dale Springer, John Swart z, George Viti; Bill Howell , Jim Mitchell, Leland Ney, George Smith , Bill Ginter, Gilmore Graybill, Harold Hartley, Ben Adam , Lee Benner , Joe Boyle, Ch arles Brennan , Van Carter , Jim Davenport, Fran k Dean , Harold Emitt, David Evan s, Guy Germana, Joe Zahora, Charles Baron, Bob R oa n , Bolo Womer, Ben Bu rne ss and Al Erenich. Borrowed Banter . . iLOCKER raP-LlNBO by Harry Brooks If Mr. Redman and the weatherman can get together, there is a possibility that the Husky diamond squad will be ready for the initial opener in Wilkes-Barre on April 15th, against the Kings College nine. Thus far, the Maroon and Gold trainees haven't been outside enough to wipe the white m arkers off t he playing field. If the Huskies are to keep last year's twelve game win streak intact, they will really have to bear down in the next few weeks. One good point in B.S.T.C.'s favor is that none of our opposition has had any more practice than we have . . . • The thinclads face the same weather problem. Mr. Shelley is not seriously thinking of equipping the tracksters with snow shoes as someone suggested, but it wouldn't be a bad idea . . . . With the resumption of the cider series with the West Chester State Teachers after a period of over ten years, the incident is brought to mind as to ju st why the B.S.T.C. tutors and the down-state club have not met in such a long time. It seems that when the *3tate built Navy Hall, a portion of the track was used for the building. West Chester officials refused to let their squads run on the smaller track for fear they would lose . . . . Every sport s writer must face that time of the year when predictions are in order. With the baseball openers just a little over two weeks away, I shall endeavor to pick the National and American league races on no information at all. Here's the way I think that the clubs will finish up come next October. American League National League 1. Boston 1. Brooklyn 2. New York 2. Boston 3. Detroit 3. Pittsburgh 4. Philadelphia 4. Philadelphia 5. Cleveland 5. St. Louis 6. Chicago 6. New York 7. Chicago 7. St. Louis 8. Cincinnati 8. Washington Don't bet the price of a good book of matches on these final standings. Here and there . . . The Day Men movies last Thursday evening included some of the best sport films ever seen on this campus . . . That basketball chart long overdue, is finally in the paper this week. Interesting percentages and facts on every player are available . . . The Husky pitching: staff should be as strong as any in the state teachers college conference this year- Some of the other schools are reported to not have much in the way of a mound corps . . . Former B.S.T.C. baseball star, Danny Litwhiler, is pounding that ball at a fine clip for the Cincinnati Reds in spring training. Danny looks like a sure bet to be among: the top performers of the Red Legs this season.
