For Upset

Jean Leon Destine
Will Appear Here
With Haitian Group

"FIESTA IN HAITI", which
will be seen here on Monday evening, December 1, draws its material from the rich and varied
folklore of the Haitian Republic.
The director and star of "FIESTA
IN HAITI" is Haiti's greatest
dancer, JEAN LEON DESTINE ,
who has journeye d into the backwoods of Haiti to explore the forbidden mysteries of voodoo religious ceremonies, and has transcribed his knowledge and experience into eloquent dance form.
So successful are the results that
a great French critic, seeing a performance by DESTINE and his
company in Haiti , wro t e in a
Port-a u-Prince newspaper that not
since the first appearance of the
Diaghilov Ballet in Paris had he
seen dancing with so great an
impact and on such a supremely
high level of art.
The dance of Haiti is unlike that
of any other country, combining
the primitive rituals of the African hin terland with the refined
and elegant social dances of the
18th century French court. "FIESTA IN HAITI" refle cts this fascinating mixture , for its rich program
includes: "Witch Doctor" a voodoo ceremony in which 1he evil,'
spirits are exercised from the body
of the patient; "La Martinique ",
whose beautiful costumes and
graceful movements reflect the
French influence; "Congo Tropica l", a e^ay and flirtatious social
dance ; "Corn Coumbito ", i n whi ch
the Haitian peasants unite to help
with the harvest ; "Revolt of the
Slaves," a historical ceremony in
which the slaves sweat to fight to
the death for their country ' s freedom.
It has been the sreat artistic
a c h i e v e m e n t of JEAN LEON
DESTINE to take the spontaneous, elemental dances of the
Haitian people and t r a n s f o r m
them into an exciting theatrical
experience while still retaining
t heir authentic flavor .
Young as he is (30), D E STINE ,
handsome , athletic and scholarly
has probably done more than any
single individual in exploring and
exploiting the native folkways of
his people. Upper-class, convent ionally-educated and city-dwolling, DESTINE began to penetrate

BSTC Looks Ahead Eagerly
To Game with West Chester
For Championship Saturday

Tomorrow night Wayne Field will be the site of the clash of our
fast-improving, once-defeated Huskies and the powerful, undefeated
Golden Rams of West Chester. The host Rams will be seeking their
30th consecutive home win over a seven year period, the longest h ome
winning streak in the State. The Rams will also be seeking to finish the
season with an unblemished record as this contest rings down the curtain on their grid campaign. The Huskies, on the other hand, will be
determined to extend their newly acquired winning ways which were so
abruptly ended by Scranton and California S.T.C. earlier in the season.
(Coach Jack Yohe's charges will also be fighting to retain the State
Teachers College Football Conference crown they secured last year.
Wins over West Chester and Lock Haven, next week's opponent, would
almost assure another conference championship. Should, the high-scoring
Rams come out on top in this vital game they would in all probability
clinch the conference honors themselves.
Rams on. a Rampage
In their last four games the Golden Rams have been on a scoring
rampage, totaling 220 points in a barrage of touchdowns. All of these
victories being registered over Teachers College foes. The victims were:
Millersville (55-6) , Lock Haven (74-6), East Stroudsburg (41-0) , and
Kut2town (50-0). The leading spark in this touchdown parade has been
Earl Her sh , a workhorse half-back who has crossed enemy goal lines an
even dozen times so far this year, an average of two TD's a game. In
the Ram's latest romp, Hersh galloped for three scores, one a 70 yard
punt return through the entire Golden Avalanche team as the Rams
completely out-classed a strong Kutztown eleven 55-6. He will not be
the only back to stop, come tomorrow evening, however, since his running mates include Fred Prender , Alex Neiman, and Ray Spafford , who
along with him formed the same backfield that gave the Huskies a pack
of trouble before succumbing 16-7 last season at Berwick. Prender is
especially dangerous because of his speed and elusiveness in brokenfield running should he get past the Husky forward wall. He also is an
excellent pass receiver and is the favorite target of quarterback Ray
Spafford's accurate aerials.
So far this year, the Rams have hardly been battle-tested and have
never been on the short end of the score at any time. In their six
previous games a flurry of early scores have more or less put the game
on ice and thus what they are really capable of accomplishing is yet to
be determined. The offensive fireworks do not overshadow the prowess
of the defensive platoon which has proven a very tough nut to crack.
The defense of the Rams has only allowed two scores in Teachers
College competition and as a unit ranks first among the nation 's small
colleges in total defense. The Huskies not only have to find a way to
stop the Rams' offense but they must also find a way to crack the strong
Rams' defense.
Huskies Beginning to Click
The Huskies are finally becoming accustomed to their new offense
and they probably will be at their offensive best tomorrow night. The
fundamental moves required of a "T" formation back are finally becoming normal reactions for the once slnglewing-minded Husky backs.
The "T" requires split-second timing to be effective, and last week's
New Haven game gave every indication that the Maroon and Gold has
developed this timing. The backs were hitting the holes opened by the
hard charging line with greater speed and were breaking loose consistently for valuable yardage. The line blocking has improved very noticeably in the last two encounters, as the Husky linemen have also apparently found themselves. The lack of a consistent offensive punch has
been the main weakness of the Huskies so far this year, but Friday
night's performance should show their attack in high gear.
The Huskies' defense has been strong all year and in recent games
it has really asserted itself. Except for a few lapses the forward wall
has been almost impenetrable, allowing less than 75 yards per game on
the ground. In the air the defense isn 't quite so strong, however, but
practice sessions during the past two weeks have shown a great improvement in this department.
Coach Yohe expects to have his squad in tip-top shape for this vit al
game. Except for Charlie Brennan, who may possibly see limited action ,
the Huskies are in their best physical and mental condition of the
season. The probable starting line-up for the invading Huskies will find
Verhousky and Morrison at the terminals, Nemetz and Thomas at the
tackle slots, Jones and Zeigenfuse as the guards, and DiPaulo at center
to round out the line. The starting backflold lists Linkchorst at quarterback, Osevala at plunging post, and Mont and Rainey at the halfback
slots. Coach Yohe expects to use the entire squad in this important encounter which promises to be a thriller from beginning to end.
In recent weeks rumors have it that West Chester is very impatient
to avenge last year's 16-7 loss and in the process plaster our Huskies
with their worst defeat on record. On the other hand , the Huskies well
remember that humiliating night back in 1950 when they suffered a 31»6

presenting . . . THE MANAGERS
We all replay a football game a thousand times over in the evening
sessions after the game, but who says, <4 Didja see Cunfer wielding that
wicked towel at the time- out?" Of course no one takes that great a
notice of the part our managers play, the part that our Huskies couldn 't
get along without. So now everyone laughs and asks, "Wh at did Eddie
Cunfer, Arnie Garinger, Tom Higgins', or Joe Albano do that's so important?" Well, next time you see the Huskies in action, ta ke time out
for about five minutes and watch the activity of the managers. You 'd
see Ed Cunfer taking orders from about fourteen people while he is
stuffing cotton into Glosek's bloody nose. Then Eddie will shout these
orders to Arnie Garinger, who listened attentively while fixing "Zig 's"
cleats and wiping Nemetz 's face at the same time (which is quite a j ob,
we're assured). Of course, since Arnie 's busy, he 'll pass the word along
to Tom Higgins and Joe Albano, who are also busy, but manage to get
everything done, and more , too.
The actual game, however, is the smallest and easiest part of an
average week for the managers. During the week three hours every day
is given up for this job. The manager must report at three in the
af ternoon before the players arrive. Equipment must be taken on the
field , practice clothes given out, rubdowns given, ( to Glosek especially),
ankles taped, and a dozen and one odd tasks. After the players go out
to practice, the clubhouse has to be swept, practice clothes from the
previous day folded and put away, game shoes polished, and game j ersies
and pants put away. This all goes on night after nigh t, without any
variation. About the only thing the managers get for their troubles is
a good seat at the games. They don 't get any writeups in the papers
or cheers from the fans; none are expected. They know they 're doing
one of the most unappreciated j obs existing. Not only does a manager
give up his free afternoons, but he gives up two precious weeks of
summer vacation to come back to school early for pre-session practice.
Now perhaps someone has gotten the idea that a manager's position
is filled by someone who doesn't have anything else to do. Well, Head
Manager Cunfer certainly disproves this theory. C.G.A. president ,
Dean 's list student, and one of the busiest guys on campus, he still
spends many nights at the clubhouse until nearly midnight, clean ing u p
and getting things ready for the next day. As a head manager, Eddie
tops the list in any school.
Did we say no one appreciates the managers ? Well, we take that
back. There is one group who appreciates them and that's on the te am
itself. When one of those "All St at er 's" like Nemetz or Verhousky says,
"Thanks, kid ," after a rubdown , and really means it, the manager knows
his job isn't so terrible after all, and he is surely going to be back next
season, associated with those wonderful, big lugs on the Bloomsburg
S.T.C. football team that can't be topped.

and the dynamism of his performances, ho raised the forbidden and
despised music and dance of Haiti
to respect. Today, in largo measure due to DESTINE, Haiti has to
be proud of its own indigenous
folkways. Last year, on the BiCentennia of the founding of the
Republic, DESTINE was appointed director of the Troupe Folkloriquo Nationale.
He is universally acclaimed as
Haiti's greatest dancer. The Haiti
Journal says: "There has never
been a greater messenger of the
national art of Haiti." New York
critics, concerning him solely as a
dancer rather than as a particular
hind of dancer, have said: DESTINE is "one of the most magnificent and exciting male dancers
of our time , . . whose choreographic range iB surety sufficien t

to satisfy even the most avid
lovers of diversity. "
DESTINE'S program fuses the
two cultural traditions of Haiti—
the African and the French. The
numbers range from the stirring
"Revolt of the Slaves" and the
voodoo "Witch Doctor Dance" to
th e gay, light-hearted "Creole

Stately, beautifully-costumed Old

¦these halls" come May. Now, Gene may not impress you much when
ly ou see his size (5* 10"—160 pounds) but his play on the gridiron 'is
Swhat counts and no one can say that this fiery, little fellow isn ' t the
imost spirited fellow to don a Husky suit in many a day. Gene has been
jiiised mostly as a defensive end, a spot where it is tough for a little man
io make good in colleg? ball but he has more than filled the needs of
ithe post. A real rough character as Bloomsburg's opponents for four
lyears have come to find out. Gene graduated from Bloomsburg High
«5chool in 1949 where he starred also in baseball and basketball. He is
Acknowledged one of the finest competitors and players the high school
fhas ever produced and he has more than proven this in his stay here
fit B.S.T.C.
I
Russell "Russ" Verhousky is another end of standout capabilities
iwho for four seasons has made Bloomsburg's Huskies a feared opponent
Ion any teams schedule. Standing 6' 0" and weighing in at 175 pounds,
|Russ has played plenty of football for B.S.T.C. in his sojourn up here
§on the hill. A rough guy to handle on defense and a fleetfosted passcatching marvel on offense, Russ has given the Huskies defensive
strength and offensive power from, way out on his end position. Coaldale
from where he was graduated in 1946 produced this Husky star. Russ
i has also lent his talents to the track squad as a high-jumper 'out in the
5 football records of the Huskies is where this top-level end will be most
\ remembered by B.S.T.C. fans.
Ending this parade of Senior Stars is another end, Charles Brennan.
I
I A star in his high school career at Towanda, Pa., Charlie is another good
|reason for the terrible lack of losses in B.S.T.C. footb all record book
j for the last four years. Hampered by a leg injury this season Charlie
\ has never the less once again proven his worth. A hard man to get by
I on the defense and a hard man to stop offensively, Charlie makes up
I with Gene and Russ, one of the finest trio of ends to ever come from
j this or any other state teachers college in a long time. Tipping the scales
at close to 200 pounds and reaching 6' 1" toward the wild blue yonder ,
; Charlie has let Husky opponents for four years know he was quite defini itely in the game. As further proof of gri d ability Charlie, along with
Russ, co-captained this year's edition of the Huskies.
You know whenever you end an article of this type you always say
that the seniors will be hard to replace. This year this statement is
more than mere words. These five boys have for four years helped
build for B.S.T.C. not only the most enviable record in S.T.C. football
circles but also a record of sportsmanship and conduct as five gentlemen
which any school could be ju stly proud. Not only will Gene and Zig
Iof
as defensive greats and Dave, Charlie and Russ, as offensive terrors be
remembered for football games but also as regular guys and real friends
i to all who know them here on the hill as they end their college careers.
We have nothing for them but the very best of luck in the "Big
\
: Game" that they are about to play.

This is it! The game of the year between two minor Pennsylvania
football grid squads will take place at West Chester tomorrow night,
and this contest may well determine the State Teachers College championship for 1952. Last year's winners were our own Huskies, and they
will be more than trying to repeat last year's feat by dumping the
highly-favored West Chester powerhouse. This they can do. Despite
i he fact the Rams have emassed a total of 220 points in the last four
games , or an average of 54 points per contest, the Maroon and Gold can
heal the all-victorious Rams. In my opinion , the Huskies must do three
things to vvlvp the Killingermen from down state. First, they must not
allow West Chester to score a few quick TD's and expect to come from
behind. Against West Chester, this is an improbable feat. Secondly, the
Huskies are going to have to score at least three touchdowns and
possibly four to win the tilt. West Chester has a high-geared scoring
aggregation and we cannot expect them, to be stopped cold for the first
time- all season. Every time they have the ball, they axe a potential
scoring threat as exhibited in their games all season. Finally, the spirit
will be the big thing. No one will deny that West Chester appears to
have a better team than Bloomsburg but the best team does not always
win the game. The Yohemen, for example , were far superior .to California , but we did not win that game. Again, Oklahoma appeared much
bet ter on paper than Notre Dame, but the Irish won because they had
a great desire to win. We can do the same thing. I didn't say that we
don 't have a good team, but my logical conclusion from both records and
past performances shows me that West Chester has a more powerful
offense than the Huskies. But that doesn't say we can't beat them.
I say we will beat them. Our great desire to win will overcome
their powerful offense and the Huskies will come out victorious. The
score, Bloomsbnrg 20, West Chester 19. Here is what several other
students from around the campus think the score will be:
Rudy Holtzman—25-12 West Chester
Jack Rittenmeyer—45-13 West Chester
Bob Bottorf—14-7 Bloomsburg
John Czeck—14-13 Bloomsburg
Dave Skammer—26-7 West Chester
Mrs. John Hoch—14-14 tie
Jim Syarr—7-7 tie
What do you think ?
A crowd hovering around ten thousand should be on hand for the
classic. In addition to the many Golden Ram fans, the crowd will
feature many B.S.T.C. fans and supporters . A special student bus will
take several dozen fans downstate, and many cars will trek to the W.C.
haven for the fracus. Let's all make it a point to be there if possible..
In the prediction corner, last week found the crystal ball selecting
seven correctly, and four wrong to bring the season's total to thirty-six
for forty-eight tries or a percentage of 75. Here are this week's picks:

In six games thus far , the Huskies have compiled some very heartening statistics, especially on the ground.
Individually, with the old vets acting as a nucleus and the newcomers building around this center, the boys have combined to produce
a 4-1-1 record.
As seen by the statistics, the Huskies have been able to gain much
more consistently on the ground than through the air, although the
high altitude play has been effective in the clutch spots.
Here is a breakdown of the statistics. Due to the fact that individual statistics have been kept only the last three games, some of
these are incomplete as indicated below :

Golden Ramifications
Among the many overrated things of this year ( such as "Democratic
election dances) there is a downstate bunch of padded laborers called
the Golden Rams. Don 't misread me (if you can read me at all) , they 're
good , but C. C. thinks we'uns are better. I have bet fifty (50c ) cents on
us. This amount represents a week's mooching or the price of five
games of darts— (If you know what I mean)— greater faith hath no
man. I don 't wanna hear any wise guys readin ' statistics about West
Chester's points average, team standing or anything, either; we've got
the "want to" to win. If the rest of us want this win like the forty five
odd (this means more or less) men on the squad do, it's a cinch. Let's
make sure that on Friday the only person left on The Hill is the night
watchman.

A matter of public information (it does sound like Dean Hoch.
doesn't it? ) , I have an announcement. The Maroon and Gold is coming
out again this year—on December 12 to be exact. The staff is having
each copy gift wrapped as a Christmas present . ( Don't miss the Easter
Issue). The pluggers who come hero Mondays and Tuesdays will now
have a chance to get off the Dean 's other list. Some of them even plan
on doing some of last years homework. Another cute factor involved is
clams, green ones, you know, boodle. We're thinking of going out of
the newspaper angle and ju st printing dollars so that next year we can
come out on Columbus Day too. One of the nicest things that happens
because we don 't open again till December (Dee Doyle's issue ) is that
I won't get to you again till January—Happy New Year!

The Dormitory and Fire and Water . . .
Smoke gets in your eyes—especially in the second floor smoker in
Waller Hall Girls Dorm (no , this is not on the spot reporting) where it
happens that an unbalanced butt found its way onto a sofa and really
made a hot seat of it. I don't know what the outcome of the minor heat
wave was, but I don't think the place burned down — the girls still
answer the phone up there, anyhow. It's a shame the little accident in
447 Waller Hall Men's Dorm, where water began pouring from the ligh t
fixture (no kidding; I live there ) about eleven thirty P.M. the other
nigh t, couldn 't have been combined with the above incident. By golly,
though , the Buildings and Grounds Department was out in force to fix
things up real prompt. (Just when I'd begun to paddle the wastebasket
over toward the door using an old pair of my roomie's socks for oars.)
* * # * *
A Really First-String Affair . . .
Will be the Varsity Dance up in Centennial BalJ Room. Just everyone who is anyone will be there. Even a few who aren't but are trying
to be, will be too. (If this last sentence doesn't make sense to you, don 't
worry, it's in harmony with everything else that flows from this misguided pencil.) The main idea is to attend and support the Varsity
Clubbers. You will want to meet B. Mont , B. Rainey, B. Osevala and be
there.

Lee Vincent and the Alumni Room . . .
I had the pleasure to note last Saturday nite that wherever and
whenever Lee Vincenta plays in this area , that location looks like a
branch office of the Alumni Room. The Macloughlins (Shirley C. and
Thomas), the smiling Mitchell , the Burleys—or is it the Grimes (who by
actual count of birthdays, is 376 years old next week) and others all get
back where Lee is strummin' the bass. I don 't quite know the point of
all this, but I admit I enj oyed making the observation.

You Kibitzers Should be Interested . . .
Some of the inside dope on the recent self evaluation sheets we
filled out in assembly lead to some general but definite conclusions. The
greater majority of we'uns like us and what we have here on "The Hill."
You know, I really can't blame us. You should go some place else and
look around sometime. As State Teachers Colleges go, we're really

Speaking of Looking at Us . . .
Did you notice the grotesque caricature at the top of this column.
Last year's cut faded out; it would be nice if this one did. I think the
editorial policy behind it all is that if you 've got the guts to look at a
face like that , you can probably got through the printed part of this

Classroom Charac ters B.S.T.C. Looks Ahead Eagerly
The classroom should

be conducive to good learning habits . A few
students tend to interrupt this
beautiful setting by their littItantics. The torturers include—
The dreamer , who depends on
his neighbor to wake him when
the professor lectures on a significant point. Tho ultimate result
is a mild collision when the incoming student of the following
period attempts to sit in his assigned seat.
The expounder, whose life has
been filled with one rich experience after another. Through his
generosity he insists upon sharing
all experiences with his classmates
and teacher , regardless of the fact
that the classroom topic may nol
pertain to it.
The wanderer, who constantly
has the urge to move. If the room
hasn 't a pencil sharpener he will
seek the farthest window and will
either elevate or close it , ignoring
classroom temperature.
The borrower , who refuses to invest in any sort of school supplies.
He is very particular about the
size of book he wishes to borrow.
It must be large enough to conceal
his latest investment , 'Don'1 Peek'
magazine.
The early-comers, who deceive
the teacher into thinking that the
rest are late.
The apple-polisher , who goes
into convulsions when teacher utters — or attempts to utter — any
rare bit of humor. He takes advantage of the five minute break
between periods to tell the teacher
how nice he is.
The scissors conscious student
who cuts out of the newspapers
ten clipping daily on "lif e" and
distributes them proportionately
to each of his instructors.

set back on the same Wayne Field. It was just one of those games that it I
saw all efforts on the part of the Huskies backfire right in the face oftfr
a fired-up Ram eleven. This writer remembers vividly some of the manyy
remarks made by the taunting West Chester fans and one of these haxx ;
stuck incessantly in my mind. On more than one occasion the fanss;
shouted , "Throw a little coal on the field so they will feel at home ancl cl )
then maybe they can play football. " This of course was in reference topi
the many playei*s on the Maroon and Gold squad, that come from tho 'pj j
coal region towns. Well , this year I'm going to take a small amount of jf ji
coal along with me and sprinkle it on the field before the game to makobii
sure that the Huskies feel at home.

A new Husky team will take the field Friday nite and I have every j -jj
faith that they will walk off the field victorious, because, you see, the} !
are determined that they are going to win.
