Dr. Armstrong Urges Transfer of
Football Spirit to Other
Interests
In turning out a championship team,
h e r e at Lock Haven State Teachers College, Coach H. J. Kaiser continues his
fine work of previous years at various
schools in the West.
Leaving the Jamestown High School
of Jamestown, North Dakota, in 1919,
w i t h the enviable record of being an all
state tackle for two years, Mr. Kaiser
entered North Central College at Napierville, Illinois, Here he m a d e athletic history with his versatility. In his
t h r e e years of football, he played tackle,
end, and half back. As a basketball
player he earned three letters after
playing guard, center, and forward. He
also rriade three letters in baseball and
was a letterman in track. In his last
year of college, Mr, Kaiser w a s captain
of both the football and basketball
teams.
At Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Michigan, he was awarded a gold medal for all
around physical efficiency.
In 1924, Coach Kaiser assumed his duties as athletic coach at Artesia High
School, in Artesia, New Mexico, F r o m
1925 to June, 1931, as athletic coach at
State Teachers College, Mayville, North
Dakota, Coach Kaiser t u r n e d out many
winning football teams. Here his basketball teams w e r e state champions for
two years. For five consecutive years,
his baseball teams w e r e state champions. Not only was he successful h e r e
as a coach, but he was very instrument a l in having a new athletic field and
gymnasium built at the North Central
College.
In 1931, he received his master's deg r e e in physical education at Columbia.
As a coach, h e has taken football
coaching under such notables as the late
K n u t e Rockne, Bob Zuppke, of Illinois;
Thistlewaite, of Wisconsin, and Tom
Leib, of Notre Dame, and St. Mary's College in California. H e has t a k e n basketball coaching under Ruby, of Illinois;
Meanwell, of Wisconsin; Olsen, of P u r due, and Bresham, of Oklahoma.
On Monday, November 23, Dr. Dallas
W. Armstrong made t h e following
speech in chapel:
"I r e a d in t h e papers that you had a
very enthusiastic 'Pep' meeting here on
Friday and I suppose we shall need t o
be careful that anything said h e r e this
morning will not be an anti-climax to
that meeting.
"I think some of you here h a v e h e a r d
me tell a story of a court room scene in
Franklin, Pennsylvania, where one lone
lawyer sat at one table and eight or ten
lawyers sat at another table and the one
man w a s controlling t h e whole situation
in spite of t h e number of his opponents
at this court trial because he was t h e
best lawyer. We all admire this lawyer
who knew his case so well and was so
well trained. We all admire t h e man who
knows and t h e man who does. No m a t ter in what fleld of activity w e may be,
we h a v e a great admiration for the man
who knows and the m a n who can do.
"I suppose you noticed in t h e paper a
few days ago an article about t h e r e union of the 1894 football players of L e land Stanford University with t h e President of the United States at the White
House. President Hoover was a student
at t h e Leland Stanford University a t
that time and was manager of this football team. I was interested in knowing
that President Hoover had been so intimately connected with athletics in his
student days.
"I noticed in the College Times t h a t
some one had posted t h e scores that t h e
team had made this year. I thought it
might be of interest to you to go back to
records of scores made by former teams.
In 1926 we had a football team who made
six points. We failed to make t h e extra
point. It is so long ago that I just can't
account how we got that. Although

Resume of the Season
On Sept. 19 after two weeks of hard
practice. Coach Kaiser took his well
conditioned squad to Slippery Rock to
open up a new relationship in football.
Slippery Rock was completely surprised.
The Maroon and Gray came out on top
after a hard fought battle by a score of
13-0. Incidentally, this was Slippery
Rock's first defeat in seven years on
their home field. The flrst score was
made flve minutes after t h e game started, when Wepsic plunged through right
tackle. Shively s c o r e d the second
touchdown on an intercepted pass. Lock
Haven had nine flrst downs to Slippery
Rock's four.
The second game was played a t the
College field, with Indiana t h e opponent.
The game was hard fought and well
played. After Burd had scored a touchdown in the second quarter and Hart
had scored the extra point, Indiana came
back in the third quarter to tie u p the
game at 7-7. That was t h e final score.
Again the Maroon showed plenty of
power, getting nine first downs to seven
for Indiana.
After a week's lay-off, the boys entrained for Mansfleld on October 10.
Here, behind a large body of L. H. S. T.
C. rooters, the champions piled up a
large score and an easy victory of 34-0.

running. The line had a fiesta and holes

will be in condition for that next game.
"Whitey" has kept our reserve power
ready for call. He has done excellent
work in getting the boys back into the
game after they had been injured.
It seems that "Whitey" is a rabbit's
foot with that cheery "Hello" and that
contagious smile. The team can't help
but be championship caliber with t h e
help of such a trainer. For the past two
years he has seen L. H. T. C. rise from
the dust to the throne as champions.
In Social Square
The scene is social square; time about
8:00 P. M, You see a man, a very young
man, a very spruce man, h a t on one side,
a "sheikish" sort of look about him, a
regular "she-man." He is all there but
she isn't—as usual, she is late. He is
doing his best to look unconcerned. He
walks up and down talking to himself
after this style: "Nice thing. Five minutes to—thought she was coming down
the stairs—hats all look alike somehow.
Two minutes to. Pity I got those seats
for t h e concert. Well, it's t h e last time.
If she doesn't come soon I'm through
with girls. Wonder who she thinks I
am." Well, just as h e is about dead with
anxiety and impatience, down the steps
she comes, nonchalantly, and says,
"HeUo, Charles. Am I late?" And
Charles says, "Late? Not at all, I just
came."
At the regular Wednesday noon meeting of the Day Room Y. W., plans were
formulated for a luncheon to be held
in the little day room Tuesday noon.
This is to further the friendship and
feeling of co-operation among the girls.
Several other meetings of this type, including two picnics, have been successfully carried out during t h e earlier part
of the year.
Cornelius Sullivan, faculty manager
of athletics, is another man who has seen
*.ock Haven rise and fall in the football
world. His interesting talks on the days
that have gone (thank Heaven) never
fail to hold the interest of the student
body. Sully, as he is known to t h e students, has unusual ability at making the
most sober thing take on a comical aspect when he tells it. It is well that
some one can recall the humiliating
years that Lock Haven Teachers College
went through in football and make us
laugh. But now those years have gone
and still Mr, Sullivan stands at the wheel
guiding Lock Haven athletics on to new
fields of achievement and new championships. With experience in the rough
seas of defeat, Mr, Sullivan is well

down their less hardy opponents, the
Lock Haven Champions started a drive
of their own which placed t h e ball on
the 14-yard line as the quarter ended.
Coach Heisel, of Dickinson, rushed in a
new team of men and was thus able to
stop Lock Haven and to threaten in the
second and third quarter to score. At
the end of the third quarter the Dickinson team was again worn down to t h e
size of the Lock Haven boys and from
then on it was a matter of Dickinson's
flghting with their backs to t h e wall to
prevent Lock Haven's scoring. Time and
again Lock Haven thrust deep into the
Dickinson territory only to lose the ball
within 15 yards of the goal. With no
more freshmen, Heisel's army appeared
in a bad way and the indications were
that five more minutes of play would
have found the Dickinson team on the
losing end of the score.

Coach Kaiser began the first practice
for the coming basketball season on
Tuesday, December 1. With the first

Potts College on the home floor, t h e students will get an early look in at t h e local basketball prospects for the season.
The regulars of last year's squad,
Hammaker, Cowfer, Poust, Weber, Hager, Cooke, Bardo, McClean, Plummer,
and Marshall, should make the coach
feel ambitious for a successful basketball season. A number of promising recruits will make the last year's regulars
step lively to keep their positions secure.
It is quite possible that we will have a
very successful season and blot out the

Such plays as "The Three Bears," "The

"COLLEGIANS" NOT AFFILIATED
WITH COLLEGE
The CoUege Times Staff believe it
worthwhile, especially for future
records, to note the fact that there is
an aggregation of football players
from Lock Haven and vicinity who
have assumed the name of "Collegians" and through the fall there has
appeared in t h e local paper news
items concerning this football team
published under the name of "Collegians."
Since the College is located here,
the reader of such a news item would
conclude that it had some connection
with our College. Under these conditions no organization should assume to use such a name unless it is
actually connected with the College.
As stated before, for future records
we a r e noting here that this team has
no connection whatever with the College. It would be noted that this team
has been playing Sunday footbaU and
for that further reason we wish to
state that this team traveling under
the assumed name of "Collegians"
had no connection with the College
and to state further also that the College not only does not favor Sunday
football but is definitely opposed to it.

Mary," "The Dover Road," "The Perfect
Alibi," and "The Ivory Door." His books
for children (we might add the t i m e worn but t r u e phrase, from six to sixty)
increase each year in popularity. This
series about Winnie, and t h e Pooh Corner house are delectable bits of mingled
fancy and verity. Mr. Milne's flrst novel
was published during his recent sojourn
in New York. During his present a p pearances on the lecture platforms of
our large cities, he has been received in
a manner becoming his eminence. "The
Dover Road," which was given h e r e
three years ago by our dramatic club, is
now being filmed by the P a r a m o u n t
movie company as a feature item on
their production list.
One point which seemed to arouse
comment on the p a r t of Mr. Milne, w h e n
questioned about his similarity in style
to that of J. M. B a r r i e was their common
quality of whimsy. We a r e too apt, t o day, to place a deficient connotation on
the word, whimsy. In its true meaning
it implies a situation or incident r e p l e t e
with capricious notions, a humorous conceit, or a fancy, Mr. Milne is justified
in asserting that his plays have a depth
that transcends more whimsicality. A
reading or seeing of "The Ivory Door"
attests to the truth of this.
In the magic welding of dialogue to
situation, Mr. Milne achieves a moving
triumph. The t i m e of t h e play "The
Ivory Door" is "somewhere in the Middle Ages," when men were superstitious.
The leading personages of the d r a m a are
of royal lineage. Under the direction of
Miss Mabel Louise Arey, careful attention is being given to costuming and
stage settings. T h e costumes a r e the
work of a Williamsport designer and
embody the wealth of beauty found in
Medieval dress. See "The Ivory Door"
and experience for yourself the unusual
perfection of a play written by a m a n
who is an unusual purveyor of deftly
woven play fabrics.

Dr. Armstrong Urges Transfer of
Football Spirit to Other
Interests
In turning out a championship team,
h e r e at Lock Haven State Teachers College, Coach H. J. Kaiser continues his
fine work of previous years at various
schools in the West.
Leaving the Jamestown High School
of Jamestown, North Dakota, in 1919,
w i t h the enviable record of being an all
state tackle for two years, Mr. Kaiser
entered North Central College at Napierville, Illinois, Here he m a d e athletic history with his versatility. In his
t h r e e years of football, he played tackle,
end, and half back. As a basketball
player he earned three letters after
playing guard, center, and forward. He
also rriade three letters in baseball and
was a letterman in track. In his last
year of college, Mr, Kaiser w a s captain
of both the football and basketball
teams.
At Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Michigan, he was awarded a gold medal for all
around physical efficiency.
In 1924, Coach Kaiser assumed his duties as athletic coach at Artesia High
School, in Artesia, New Mexico, F r o m
1925 to June, 1931, as athletic coach at
State Teachers College, Mayville, North
Dakota, Coach Kaiser t u r n e d out many
winning football teams. Here his basketball teams w e r e state champions for
two years. For five consecutive years,
his baseball teams w e r e state champions. Not only was he successful h e r e
as a coach, but he was very instrument a l in having a new athletic field and
gymnasium built at the North Central
College.
In 1931, he received his master's deg r e e in physical education at Columbia.
As a coach, h e has taken football
coaching under such notables as the late
K n u t e Rockne, Bob Zuppke, of Illinois;
Thistlewaite, of Wisconsin, and Tom
Leib, of Notre Dame, and St. Mary's College in California. H e has t a k e n basketball coaching under Ruby, of Illinois;
Meanwell, of Wisconsin; Olsen, of P u r due, and Bresham, of Oklahoma.
On Monday, November 23, Dr. Dallas
W. Armstrong made t h e following
speech in chapel:
"I r e a d in t h e papers that you had a
very enthusiastic 'Pep' meeting here on
Friday and I suppose we shall need t o
be careful that anything said h e r e this
morning will not be an anti-climax to
that meeting.
"I think some of you here h a v e h e a r d
me tell a story of a court room scene in
Franklin, Pennsylvania, where one lone
lawyer sat at one table and eight or ten
lawyers sat at another table and the one
man w a s controlling t h e whole situation
in spite of t h e number of his opponents
at this court trial because he was t h e
best lawyer. We all admire this lawyer
who knew his case so well and was so
well trained. We all admire t h e man who
knows and t h e man who does. No m a t ter in what fleld of activity w e may be,
we h a v e a great admiration for the man
who knows and the m a n who can do.
"I suppose you noticed in t h e paper a
few days ago an article about t h e r e union of the 1894 football players of L e land Stanford University with t h e President of the United States at the White
House. President Hoover was a student
at t h e Leland Stanford University a t
that time and was manager of this football team. I was interested in knowing
that President Hoover had been so intimately connected with athletics in his
student days.
"I noticed in the College Times t h a t
some one had posted t h e scores that t h e
team had made this year. I thought it
might be of interest to you to go back to
records of scores made by former teams.
In 1926 we had a football team who made
six points. We failed to make t h e extra
point. It is so long ago that I just can't

Resume of the Season
On Sept. 19 after two weeks of hard
practice. Coach Kaiser took his well
conditioned squad to Slippery Rock to
open up a new relationship in football.
Slippery Rock was completely surprised.
The Maroon and Gray came out on top
after a hard fought battle by a score of
13-0. Incidentally, this was Slippery
Rock's first defeat in seven years on
their home field. The flrst score was
made flve minutes after t h e game started, when Wepsic plunged through right
tackle. Shively s c o r e d the second
touchdown on an intercepted pass. Lock
Haven had nine flrst downs to Slippery
Rock's four.
The second game was played a t the
College field, with Indiana t h e opponent.
The game was hard fought and well
played. After Burd had scored a touchdown in the second quarter and Hart
had scored the extra point, Indiana came
back in the third quarter to tie u p the
game at 7-7. That was t h e final score.
Again the Maroon showed plenty of
power, getting nine first downs to seven
for Indiana.
After a week's lay-off, the boys entrained for Mansfleld on October 10.
Here, behind a large body of L. H. S. T.

large score and an easy victory of 34-0.

will be in condition for that next game.
"Whitey" has kept our reserve power
ready for call. He has done excellent
work in getting the boys back into the
game after they had been injured.
It seems that "Whitey" is a rabbit's
foot with that cheery "Hello" and that
contagious smile. The team can't help
but be championship caliber with t h e
help of such a trainer. For the past two
years he has seen L. H. T. C. rise from

The scene is social square; time about
8:00 P. M, You see a man, a very young
man, a very spruce man, h a t on one side,
a "sheikish" sort of look about him, a
regular "she-man." He is all there but

doing his best to look unconcerned. He
walks up and down talking to himself
after this style: "Nice thing. Five minutes to—thought she was coming down
the stairs—hats all look alike somehow.
Two minutes to. Pity I got those seats
for t h e concert. Well, it's t h e last time.
If she doesn't come soon I'm through

am." Well, just as h e is about dead with
anxiety and impatience, down the steps
she comes, nonchalantly, and says,
"HeUo, Charles. Am I late?" And
Charles says, "Late? Not at all, I just
came."
At the regular Wednesday noon meeting of the Day Room Y. W., plans were
formulated for a luncheon to be held

This is to further the friendship and

Several other meetings of this type, including two picnics, have been successfully carried out during t h e earlier part
of the year.

most sober thing take on a comical aspect when he tells it. It is well that
some one can recall the humiliating
years that Lock Haven Teachers College
went through in football and make us
laugh. But now those years have gone

Coach Heisel, of Dickinson, rushed in a
new team of men and was thus able to
stop Lock Haven and to threaten in the
second and third quarter to score. At
the end of the third quarter the Dickinson team was again worn down to t h e

then on it was a matter of Dickinson's
flghting with their backs to t h e wall to
prevent Lock Haven's scoring. Time and
again Lock Haven thrust deep into the
Dickinson territory only to lose the ball
within 15 yards of the goal. With no

for the coming basketball season on

The regulars of last year's squad,
Hammaker, Cowfer, Poust, Weber, Hager, Cooke, Bardo, McClean, Plummer,

feel ambitious for a successful basketball season. A number of promising recruits will make the last year's regulars

It is quite possible that we will have a

Such plays as "The Three Bears," "The

"COLLEGIANS" NOT AFFILIATED
WITH COLLEGE
The CoUege Times Staff believe it
worthwhile, especially for future
records, to note the fact that there is
an aggregation of football players
from Lock Haven and vicinity who
have assumed the name of "Collegians" and through the fall there has
appeared in t h e local paper news
items concerning this football team
published under the name of "Collegians."
Since the College is located here,
the reader of such a news item would
conclude that it had some connection
with our College. Under these conditions no organization should assume to use such a name unless it is
actually connected with the College.
As stated before, for future records
we a r e noting here that this team has
no connection whatever with the College. It would be noted that this team
has been playing Sunday footbaU and
for that further reason we wish to
state that this team traveling under
the assumed name of "Collegians"
had no connection with the College
and to state further also that the College not only does not favor Sunday
football but is definitely opposed to it.

Lasta night as I lay ona my pillows
I hava t h e great biga dream.
I see Locka Have hita Dickensona Sem
so hard,
Dickensona Sem she screams.
I seea one littlea fellows—I think the
name she is Hart;
He nota much on the foot balla game,
but for t h e priza fight he is smart.
When I seea theas foota balla players
anda how they hit data line.
She make t h e small goosa pimples runna
right up m y spine.
And there is a sraarta Charlie Bake, he
runna for the pass anda a muff.
And then Dicka Mc Closk he getta real
mad anda say, "You big cream puff!"
With a biff and a bang the game she go
on until Dickensona Sem she start to
fiinch.
And then coach a Kize he j u m p up and
down and scream w e ketcham a
cinch.
But the halfa she come with a nothing
nothing, and still the game she is
not won.
And then Dona a Griff he taka the boys
and swears lika the sun of a gun.
The wistle shea blows for the seconda
half and Captain Ed h e strut all
around.
But the mind she is not on the foota
balls game—he is a look for the Miss
Johnstown.
The game she is hot anda looks very bad
as if a Lock Have can no manage.
And Whitie A Larance he get all excited
and t r y to eat up the bandage.
There is a Rus Burd, he looksa very bad,
sometimes I think she is the fever,
But justa the same I donta think so, I
thinks she is a Maria Beaver.
Now the gama she come with three minutes to play and stilla there isa no
score;
But when big Charlie Wepsic he think of
Dot Beish, then Dickensona Sem is
no more.

Mary," "The Dover Road," "The Perfect
Alibi," and "The Ivory Door." His books
for children (we might add the t i m e worn but t r u e phrase, from six to sixty)
increase each year in popularity. This
series about Winnie, and t h e Pooh Corner house are delectable bits of mingled
fancy and verity. Mr. Milne's flrst novel
was published during his recent sojourn
in New York. During his present a p pearances on the lecture platforms of
our large cities, he has been received in
a manner becoming his eminence. "The
Dover Road," which was given h e r e
three years ago by our dramatic club, is
now being filmed by the P a r a m o u n t
movie company as a feature item on
their production list.
One point which seemed to arouse
comment on the p a r t of Mr. Milne, w h e n
questioned about his similarity in style
to that of J. M. B a r r i e was their common
quality of whimsy. We a r e too apt, t o day, to place a deficient connotation on
the word, whimsy. In its true meaning
it implies a situation or incident r e p l e t e
with capricious notions, a humorous conceit, or a fancy, Mr. Milne is justified
in asserting that his plays have a depth
that transcends more whimsicality. A
reading or seeing of "The Ivory Door"
attests to the truth of this.
In the magic welding of dialogue to
situation, Mr. Milne achieves a moving
triumph. The t i m e of t h e play "The
Ivory Door" is "somewhere in the Middle Ages," when men were superstitious.
The leading personages of the d r a m a are
of royal lineage. Under the direction of
Miss Mabel Louise Arey, careful attention is being given to costuming and
stage settings. T h e costumes a r e the
work of a Williamsport designer and
embody the wealth of beauty found in
Medieval dress. See "The Ivory Door"
and experience for yourself the unusual
perfection of a play written by a m a n
who is an unusual purveyor of deftly
woven play fabrics.
