of this last

member

of

the Senior class found himself entering the college with renewed enthu-

to practice teaching was novel to practically every member of the class,
and remained so a great part of the year. Seniors serious? Yes, indeed'

Conversation was largely built upon this favorite profession, and interest
and enthusiasm was rarely lacking, because of the very nature of the profession. Yet though each student felt his time filled with student teaching alone, there

was

still

time for group feeling and enterprise.

Much

credit

due to the fine leadership and guidance
of our class advisor, Professor H A. Andruss and to the officers and coworkers of the organization who spent much of the time promoting projects

On October

the Buchheit Clan engaged the Orange and Black gridders

of Millersville at the latter place. The only score of the game came in the
first quarter, and this proved to be the margin of victory over the Bloomsburg "pigskin toters." This was a very close contest, with the Huskies
fighting back all the way, and several times, through the fine punting of

gallant but vain attempt to "come through",

but the weight of their opponents seemed to be a deciding factor.
•
On the other hand, the fine passing, running, and punting of the ball
and the fine defensive work were points that were not to be overlooked.
•
The second contest of the season was lost to Indiana on Mount Olympus
on October 14. The western aggregation had the advantage in weight, reserve material, and finished players. Captain )affin, and Frank Rompoia did
not see action, while Turse and Moleski were able to get in for only part of
the game. The highlight of the game, was "|ack" Taylor's 60 yard exhibition
of beautiful, broken-field running in the final quarter, the Huskies' lone
score. Harter converted for the extra point. The contest was likewise featured by the outstanding defensive work of Kitch at left tackle, and "Soapy"
Sopchak at the calling position. Once again Moleski's toe kept the Blue and

territory.

•
A revamped but highly spirited Eleven journeyed to Mansfield, and gave
one of the finest demonstrations of football playing of the season even
though they came out on the short end. Five regulars were missing from the
lineup, but those who filled the vacancies did so with the skill of the "upper
berth" members. Harter was responsible for a touchdown and a placement
kick, while Moleski crossed the line for a second marker. The Huskies
showed a marked improvement in their offensive drive. This was overshadowed by the yeomen service of Dixon and Boylan in the line, and Moleski,
Harter and Sopchak in the backfield.

the first half, and when they finally did open up in the last period with a
burst of energy that resulted in a touchdown by Captain Jaffin and the converting for the added point by Harter, it was too late to overcome the one
score margin gained by the New Yorkers in the first period. Moleski put his
punting to good advantage and kept the Oswego Teachers from within
scoring distance. Kitch, Dixon, and Sopchak were largely responsible for the
"bottling up" of the home team's offensive thrusts.
•
Up until the Homecoming Day game with East Stroudsburg, the Maroon
and Cold Passers had not won a game. They were not the least bit discouraged, for the injured men had returned to the line-up. and for the first time.
Coach Buchheit was to have the full strength of his material available for*
competition. The Red and Black team took the lead" in the second quarter by
virtue of a field goal and the extra point. Not discouraged, however, the
Huskies came back fighting during the third period and drove the visitors
back, Moleski driving his way through the center of the line for a touchdown. Then came the final period. Jaffin registered a first down on the visitor's 18-yard ribbon. With but eight seconds of play remaining, the Buchsignals were called

score, as the Maroon and Cold Combination was unable to find itself.
"Whitey Moleski's dependable punting and passing was the outstanding
feature of the game.

•
The final game on the schedule was played at Shippensburg. Many of
the boys played their last game under the colors of Maroon and Cold. They
gave their all, and emerged victoriously. The home team had a great advantage in weight, but the Huskies were determined to win regardless of the
odds against them. Shippensburg scored in the first period and also added
the extra point. Moleski hurled a thirty yard pass in the third quarter to
Captain Jaffin, who was across the goal line and had but to touch the ball
to register a score. Harter's place kick was good for the extra digit. With
but two minutes to play, "Doc" Harter once again pulled the game out of
the fire, and put it on ice by kicking a field goal. Moleski's passing andi
punting were largely responsible for the victory of the Huskies. Sopchak,
Dixon, and Harter did a great piece of work on the defensive side.

Approximately thirty-five candidates responded to the first call for practice. Through the

Buchheit to concentrate on the development of a winning Court Team.

Valente, Blackburn, Krauss, and Jaffin, all veterans, held down the forward berths. "Big
Boy" Wilson, first year man, filled the gap at the pivot position, and was an asset to the
team throughout the season. Washeleski, former center, proved to be a utility man by playing
a bang-up game at guard. Alternating and teaming up with him were Phillips, Reed, and

The outstanding accomplishment or feat of the Huskie Five during the entire season was
clean-cut victory over the Red and White Courtmen from the Physical Educational
Teachers College of East Stroudsburg. Always known for its fine athletic teams, and after having "mowed down" a number of other colleges in the Intercollegiate Circuit, the Stroudsburg Team was an overwhelming favorite to defeat the Maroon and Cold Basketeers.

BAKELESS

•
It is with regret that we have witnessed this school year the passing of
one of our most beloved friends and helpers, and for a generation one of

the leading educators of Central Pennsylvania.
•
Professor Bakeless was born at Shamokin Dam on September 6, 1858,
son of John C. Bakeless, a contractor and builder. The family is of French
extraction, and his great-grandfather, Phillipe Beurclerc, was a French

refugee.

seeing that it was properly equipped. It was only fitting that in return for
his interest and work, this room was dedicated on Alumni Day, May 26,

The plays and work done by the entering schools were of such high
calibre that the work of the judges was most difficult and painstaking.
John S. Koch and S. L. Wilson, of the college faculty, and Miss Beth Girton
of Bloomsburg served as judges.
