During the term manv affairs kept us at attention and very active. Among

FOOTBALL
The
claim jointly with \^est Chester Normal School the foothall championship of the Normal Schools of Pennsylvania for 1923 was the
honor gained hy the Bloomshurg Slate Normal School gridiron warriors last
season. The eleven was one of the best in the history of Maroon and Gold
and won hack for the school the position it occupied in preparatory school
football ranks previous to the World \^ ar.
The one dark cloud in an otherwise clear football sky was the loss ol the major battle to \^ yoming Seminary hy the score of 14 to 3. Our men. however, fought a hard, clean game
and gained for our school all the glory that goes with honorable defeat. The
support given the team by the student body was the best ever tendered an
athletic team on the hill and aided greatly in making the season the success
*,
it was.
Head Coach Mead and Assistant Coach Baker worked faithfully all
fall to develop the eleven and to them goes much of the credit for the fame
and honor the team gained. Every man on the squad gave his best and it
was the man on the reserve team as much as the man on the varsity that deserves credit for the winning eleven.
Faculty Manager Hall and Student
Manager Shaughnessy worked hard and filled their positions in a manner
above reproach.
Five of the eight games played by the team were won.
Each man did what he was called upon to do. and did it well. Captain
Brotherston. however, stands out prominently for the great, consistent game
he played. Not only did the Normal leader play his position at guard in a
manner that threw terror into the ranks of the enemy but he won both the
Shippensburg and Stroudsburg games by drop kicks and also made the only score in the Wyoming
game when he kicked a field goal in the last 40 seconds of play.
The team was handicapped greatly throughout the major part of the season due to injuries to
Joseph Schwall, star fullback and to Joseph Kaslusky, the flashy halfback and signal caller.
Schwajl s services were, lost to the team when late in the Dickinson game he had his right shoulder dislocated and the shoulder bone fractured. Kaslusky soon afterward developed a severe case
of "Charlie horse" and was unable to take part in the last three contests of the season.
At a banquet held by the football team at the close of the season. Gerald Fitzpatrick. of TrevorIon, and brdliant end of the past season, was chosen captain for 1924.
The season opened on September 29 against Harrisburg Tecli. at Harrisburg, and we were
defeated 20 to 0, largely because the Harrisburg team was in much better condition due to the
fact that they had had three weeks' additional practice to that given the Normal squad and also
due to the fact that they had more experienced players. The following Saturday Normal easily
defeated the Northumberland Athletics 39 to
in the first game played on our field.
On October
13 our team played Dickinson Seminary, at Williamsport, and lost a hard contest 14 to 9. largely
because of the fact that our men were in poor physical condition. The score at the end of the
third quarter was 9 to
in Bloom's favor.
Our first victory over a Normal School was turned in
on October 27 when Mansfield Normal was sent home from Bloomshurg defeated by the score of
26 to 14. The Bucknell Lniversity Reserves were met the first Saturday in November and were
defeated by a score of 17 to 0. in one of the hardest battles of the entire season Normal defeated
Stroudsburg Normal on the latter's field. November 10. by the score of 3 to 0, Captain Brothertson

Although we were able to beat Shippensburg Normal at Bloomshurg the following .Saturday
by the score of hut 3 to 0. our team was far superior to that of the Cumberland \alley .School.
-Shippensburg had an extremely weak offensive and never once during the game did ihey have the
ball in their possession in our territory.
Captain Brotherston made the points that gave his team
the decision by booting a field goal from the 37-yard line eight minutes before hostilities ceased.

together under the Maroon and Gold banner with both team play and individual brilliancy featuring the combats on the hardwood throughout the
winter.
Wyoming Seminary,
our arch rivals, were vanquished on their own
ground for the first time in a decade and were also beaten in a most
impressive and decisive fashion at Bloomsliurg. .'^hippensliurg and Stroudsburg. the only two normal school teams who ran f<)ul of Bloomsburg. were
conquered with comparative ease both at home and abroad. Probably our
most noted victory of the season was that over Bellefonte Academy, whose
five was easily one of the best in the history of that school and who had
early in the season marred our record with a defeat when the two teams
met in the academy boys' gymnasium. Besides having a varsity that we
were justly proud of the school was also represented by a Junior Varsity
that was a credit to the hill top institution.
This team played and defeated
the majority of the leading high school teams in this district and also took
into camp the Wyoming Seminary Reserves in the two contests they played
battle
with them.
Captain Louis Lerda and Turner, of the Varsity, were two of the best
forwards that ever wore a rubber-soled shoe on the Normal court. Schwall
at center was a tower of strength throughout the season and aided his teammates greatly by out-jumping the rival pivot men in all of the contests. Sack and Kazlosky saw
service in the deiensive positions and they proved constant stumbling blocks in the paths of ambitious opponents who sought to make scoring records.
Morlock, Jenkins and Cooper were most
efficient in the roles of first string substitutes and never once failed when they were called upon

was forced to retire from the game on account of a weak ankle which he received in a football
game. All of the Reserves did fine work and deserve much credit, not only for the fine record
they made in playing out their schedule, but for turning out night after night and scrimmaging
with the Varsity so that that team would be at its hest when it met outside opponents.
George M, Mead, phvsical director and coach of athletics of the school, had charge of the team
and never before did he turn out a basketball quintette that brought him more credit. Coach Mead,
however, was able to do this only by working unceasingly with his men throughout the season.
The teams were managed by George N, Hall, of the faculty, and James Lawson. of the student
body, with both working hard and doing exceptionally well in the fulfillment of their many duties.

average during the season of 7 runs per contest.

Early in the first quarter the Juniors had their first piece of luck and by virtue of it they
scored the initial touchdown of the game.
The Seniors had the ball on their 30-yard line and

.\nd then the plucky Seniors came back fighting with a spirit that could not be denied.
Through a line that outweighed them 20 pounds to a man they sent their backs for large and
consistent gains and soon hurled Kane, their brilliant fullback, over the goal line for a touchdown and added the extra point later when the Juniors were off side on the play.
Soon after the kick-off the Seniors again gained possession of the oval and with their opponents looking much like eleven dilapidated cigar store Indians, they started another drive toward
the Junior goal, and had it not been for the ending of the contest while this drive was in full

entirely on account of their superior team play.
The games were the most successful that have ever been fostered by the school. Eight teams
were entered this year and each performed in a most creditable manner. On account of the number of teams in the tourney all of the contests were run strictly on an elimination basis.
Wilkes-Barre High by reason of its victory was presented with a large silver loving cup. while

At the start of the evening's battles. Newport High School, winners of the first two tournaments given by the Bloomsburg Normal School, had things much their own way against Berwick
High School, gaining the decision 24 to 6. Hanover Township managed to nose out Bloomsburg
in the nightcap, 19 to 16. in a battle that brought forth brilliant play by members of both combinations. Trum, Bloomsburg center, scored a basket in his opponent's goal early in the fray.
Wilkes-Barre won its way into the final round Saturday afternoon by eliminating Newport,
the previous year's champs, 32 to 17. In the other semi-final match Hanover Township upset the
"dope" by winning in apparent easy fashion over Shenandoah, 26 to 19.
The final clash of the games brought Wilkes-Barre and Hanover together Saturday evening
with the city five triumphing, 24 to 12. The first half of the game was close, ending 11 to 9 in
Hanover sprinted at the beginning of the second half and got the lead,
favor of Wilkes-Barre,
12 to 11, but they apparently shot their final volt of strength in that rally, for they failed to
score afterward while Wilkes-Barre added consistently to their tally until the final whistle claimed
them conquerors of the day.
Great crowds witnessed each of the games with more than 1.000 spectators present at both
the afternoon and evening games on Saturday while the Friday squabbles were viewed by almost as many. Each school had its rooters and the cheering and songs of the rival institutions
was one of the most colorful features of the event.
During the games the teams were the guests of the school, each team being taken care of by
some member of the student body who was in most cases an alumnus of the school to whom he
played host. The teams were given lodging in Bloomsburg hotels and were boarded at the school.
A host of visitors visited the school during the two days' play and were shown through the
buildings and over the campus. In truth, it was the crowning tournament of all those held by
the institution thus far and speaks higldy of the ability of physical director George M. Mead,
originator of the event, and Gilbert Cooper, student manager, who were in charge of everything
in connection with the games.

During the term manv affairs kept us at attention and very active. Among

FOOTBALL
The
claim jointly with \^est Chester Normal School the foothall championship of the Normal Schools of Pennsylvania for 1923 was the
honor gained hy the Bloomshurg Slate Normal School gridiron warriors last
season. The eleven was one of the best in the history of Maroon and Gold
and won hack for the school the position it occupied in preparatory school
football ranks previous to the World \^ ar.
The one dark cloud in an otherwise clear football sky was the loss ol the major battle to \^ yoming Seminary hy the score of 14 to 3. Our men. however, fought a hard, clean game
and gained for our school all the glory that goes with honorable defeat. The
support given the team by the student body was the best ever tendered an
athletic team on the hill and aided greatly in making the season the success
*,
it was.
Head Coach Mead and Assistant Coach Baker worked faithfully all
fall to develop the eleven and to them goes much of the credit for the fame
and honor the team gained. Every man on the squad gave his best and it
was the man on the reserve team as much as the man on the varsity that deserves credit for the winning eleven.
Faculty Manager Hall and Student
Manager Shaughnessy worked hard and filled their positions in a manner
above reproach.
Five of the eight games played by the team were won.
Each man did what he was called upon to do. and did it well. Captain
Brotherston. however, stands out prominently for the great, consistent game
he played. Not only did the Normal leader play his position at guard in a
manner that threw terror into the ranks of the enemy but he won both the
Shippensburg and Stroudsburg games by drop kicks and also made the only score in the Wyoming
game when he kicked a field goal in the last 40 seconds of play.
The team was handicapped greatly throughout the major part of the season due to injuries to
Joseph Schwall, star fullback and to Joseph Kaslusky, the flashy halfback and signal caller.
Schwajl s services were, lost to the team when late in the Dickinson game he had his right shoulder dislocated and the shoulder bone fractured. Kaslusky soon afterward developed a severe case
of "Charlie horse" and was unable to take part in the last three contests of the season.
At a banquet held by the football team at the close of the season. Gerald Fitzpatrick. of TrevorIon, and brdliant end of the past season, was chosen captain for 1924.
The season opened on September 29 against Harrisburg Tecli. at Harrisburg, and we were
defeated 20 to 0, largely because the Harrisburg team was in much better condition due to the
fact that they had had three weeks' additional practice to that given the Normal squad and also
due to the fact that they had more experienced players. The following Saturday Normal easily
defeated the Northumberland Athletics 39 to
in the first game played on our field.
On October
13 our team played Dickinson Seminary, at Williamsport, and lost a hard contest 14 to 9. largely
because of the fact that our men were in poor physical condition. The score at the end of the
third quarter was 9 to
in Bloom's favor.
Our first victory over a Normal School was turned in
on October 27 when Mansfield Normal was sent home from Bloomshurg defeated by the score of
26 to 14. The Bucknell Lniversity Reserves were met the first Saturday in November and were
defeated by a score of 17 to 0. in one of the hardest battles of the entire season Normal defeated
Stroudsburg Normal on the latter's field. November 10. by the score of 3 to 0, Captain Brothertson
making the winning score by a field goal from the 40-yard line in the third quarter.
Although we were able to beat Shippensburg Normal at Bloomshurg the following .Saturday
by the score of hut 3 to 0. our team was far superior to that of the Cumberland \alley .School.
-Shippensburg had an extremely weak offensive and never once during the game did ihey have the
ball in their possession in our territory.
Captain Brotherston made the points that gave his team
the decision by booting a field goal from the 37-yard line eight minutes before hostilities ceased.

the smoothest and hest defensive and offensive combinations ever handed
together under the Maroon and Gold banner with both team play and individual brilliancy featuring the combats on the hardwood throughout the
winter.
Wyoming Seminary,
our arch rivals, were vanquished on their own
ground for the first time in a decade and were also beaten in a most
impressive and decisive fashion at Bloomsliurg. .'^hippensliurg and Stroudsburg. the only two normal school teams who ran f<)ul of Bloomsburg. were
conquered with comparative ease both at home and abroad. Probably our
most noted victory of the season was that over Bellefonte Academy, whose
five was easily one of the best in the history of that school and who had
early in the season marred our record with a defeat when the two teams
met in the academy boys' gymnasium. Besides having a varsity that we
were justly proud of the school was also represented by a Junior Varsity
that was a credit to the hill top institution.
This team played and defeated
the majority of the leading high school teams in this district and also took
into camp the Wyoming Seminary Reserves in the two contests they played
battle
with them.
Captain Louis Lerda and Turner, of the Varsity, were two of the best
forwards that ever wore a rubber-soled shoe on the Normal court. Schwall
at center was a tower of strength throughout the season and aided his teammates greatly by out-jumping the rival pivot men in all of the contests. Sack and Kazlosky saw
service in the deiensive positions and they proved constant stumbling blocks in the paths of ambitious opponents who sought to make scoring records.
Morlock, Jenkins and Cooper were most

was forced to retire from the game on account of a weak ankle which he received in a football
game. All of the Reserves did fine work and deserve much credit, not only for the fine record
they made in playing out their schedule, but for turning out night after night and scrimmaging
with the Varsity so that that team would be at its hest when it met outside opponents.
George M, Mead, phvsical director and coach of athletics of the school, had charge of the team
and never before did he turn out a basketball quintette that brought him more credit. Coach Mead,
however, was able to do this only by working unceasingly with his men throughout the season.
The teams were managed by George N, Hall, of the faculty, and James Lawson. of the student
body, with both working hard and doing exceptionally well in the fulfillment of their many duties.

Long before the starting time every point of advantage was taken with both classes attending the game in a body. The Seniors far outshone their rivals in respect to cheering with the

the history of Old \ormal.

Early in the first quarter the Juniors had their first piece of luck and by virtue of it they
scored the initial touchdown of the game.
The Seniors had the ball on their 30-yard line and

Through a line that outweighed them 20 pounds to a man they sent their backs for large and
consistent gains and soon hurled Kane, their brilliant fullback, over the goal line for a touchdown and added the extra point later when the Juniors were off side on the play.
Soon after the kick-off the Seniors again gained possession of the oval and with their opponents looking much like eleven dilapidated cigar store Indians, they started another drive toward

High School Basketball Tournament

entirely on account of their superior team play.
The games were the most successful that have ever been fostered by the school. Eight teams
were entered this year and each performed in a most creditable manner. On account of the number of teams in the tourney all of the contests were run strictly on an elimination basis.
Wilkes-Barre High by reason of its victory was presented with a large silver loving cup. while

The games started on Friday afternoon with Shenandoah forcing Kingston from the race

At the start of the evening's battles. Newport High School, winners of the first two tournaments given by the Bloomsburg Normal School, had things much their own way against Berwick
High School, gaining the decision 24 to 6. Hanover Township managed to nose out Bloomsburg
in the nightcap, 19 to 16. in a battle that brought forth brilliant play by members of both combinations. Trum, Bloomsburg center, scored a basket in his opponent's goal early in the fray.
Wilkes-Barre won its way into the final round Saturday afternoon by eliminating Newport,
the previous year's champs, 32 to 17. In the other semi-final match Hanover Township upset the
"dope" by winning in apparent easy fashion over Shenandoah, 26 to 19.
The final clash of the games brought Wilkes-Barre and Hanover together Saturday evening
with the city five triumphing, 24 to 12. The first half of the game was close, ending 11 to 9 in
Hanover sprinted at the beginning of the second half and got the lead,
favor of Wilkes-Barre,
12 to 11, but they apparently shot their final volt of strength in that rally, for they failed to
score afterward while Wilkes-Barre added consistently to their tally until the final whistle claimed
them conquerors of the day.
Great crowds witnessed each of the games with more than 1.000 spectators present at both
the afternoon and evening games on Saturday while the Friday squabbles were viewed by almost as many. Each school had its rooters and the cheering and songs of the rival institutions
was one of the most colorful features of the event.
During the games the teams were the guests of the school, each team being taken care of by
some member of the student body who was in most cases an alumnus of the school to whom he
played host. The teams were given lodging in Bloomsburg hotels and were boarded at the school.
A host of visitors visited the school during the two days' play and were shown through the
buildings and over the campus. In truth, it was the crowning tournament of all those held by
the institution thus far and speaks higldy of the ability of physical director George M. Mead,
originator of the event, and Gilbert Cooper, student manager, who were in charge of everything
in connection with the games.
