:WEST CHESTER
TROUNCES LOCALS
West Chester Teachers' College ran
r o u g h shod through Bloomsburg
Teachers' College in the last period
of their game at West Chester Saturday afternoon to score four touchdowns and hand the local collegians
their most crushing defeat since 1920.
The score was 39 to 0.
A well balanced West Chester squad,
powerful in every department of the
game, for three periods sapped the
strength of a fighting but outplayed
Bloomsburg eleven. In the last period
with many of the Bloomsburg players
on the side lines with injuries and the
others played out, the Chester county
eleven turned the game into a field
day to climax the victory.
West Chester used over 30 husky
athletes to gain victory. One eleven
played through the first quarter and
the varsity eleven started the second
period. The starting team played
through the third period and then
back came the varsity to hand the
knock out punch to a fighting but fast
tiring foe. West Chester from time to
time during that last quarter sent in
fresh men. While the team playing
the first and third quarters was the
second varsity there was little to
choose between that eleven and the
first string men. Both teams are powe.ful combinations.
Many Arc Injured
Bloomsburg 's loss did not stop with
its crushing defeat. A more severe
less is in the inj uries which most of
the squad suffered. Two minutes after play started, Ray Hawkins, captain and tackle, was taken from the
gridiron with a wrenched knee.
Three minutes later Armond Keller,
of town, varsity back, suffered a fracture of the right hand. Kraynack one
uf the best back on the squad, has a
badly injured shoulder. These players will probably be out for some time,
p ossibly for the entire season.
"Buck" Owens had his leg injured;
Moore received a bump that placed
him in an unconscious condition for
some time ; Zimmerman was hurt
three plays after he entered the game
and had to be taken lsfrom the field;
Rucfi , center, had J^ ankle injured ,
Siesko, McKenzie and Fritz suffered
bruises to the neck; Wadas had his
j aw badly bruised and Strausor sustained an inj ured shoulder. None of
those injuries are serious but will probably keep some of the boys off the
Hold for soveral days.
Fresh Men Decide
The game was much harder fought
than the score indicated. Injuries to
p layers t h at f orced t h em out in t h e
opening minutes weakened Bloomsburg but in spite of that the game was
a battle royal for three periods. It
was in the fourth quarter that
Bloomsburg 's stren gth gave out th e

? The girls certainly are very well
pleased with their new dean this year.
She introduced herself at the first
student government meeting as Miss
Edith Jane Stauffer. Her home is in
Downingtown, Penna. She attended
Wilson College and while there she
received her A. B. degree. She was
also a student at Columbia University
where she received her M. A. She
graduated with highest honors from
Wilson College.
Formerly she was dean of girls at
Bronxville , N. Y., which place she
liked very well, but insists upon saying *that she likes Bloomsburg much
better. She was dean there for three
years. She also acted as Director of
Vocational Guidance at Coatesville,
Penna. She then taught at Radnor
Township High School at Wayne, Pa.
After teaching there several years she
became Industrial Secretary of the
Young Women's Christian Association
in Baltimore and in Philadelphia. A
few years later she was elected and
voted upon unanimously as Secretary
of the National Deans Association.
We know she is very well pleased
with this place as she has said in the
meetings thus far. If she is not happy here it is the duty of the girls to
make her so and we are sure the girls
will strive to do so. Thus far she has
lived on third floor in a suite which
is not very home-like but from now
on she will occupy an apartment on
second floor which has just been remodeled. As yet she is just fixing it
up but by the weekend it will be
ready for inspection by anyone. Prom
now on if the dean is not in her office the girls will find her in 200-201.
The qualities which she now possesses and hopes to possess always are a
high sense of honor, good scholarship,
and fine sportsmanship. With these
qualities she must draw up a constitution which she is now striving to put
in our college. We are in great need
of a constitution and with the help
of the committees which were chosen by the student body it will soon be
written and presented to the girls at
a meeting. We hope that Miss Stauff er will be contented and happy while
she lives with us and we will make it
our duty to make her happy.

GIRL WITH A BLUE VASE
I shall yet remember to the end of
my days
Your white hands holding a blue vase,
With one straight , beautifully shining
marigold
That stood so gay and proud and bold,
Looking with worship into your sunflower eyes.
In my heart a warm mem 'ry lies
Of your brownest hair that held scintillating lights
And the most exquisite of sights
When you innocently lifted with your
frail hands
That strang flower of Eastern lands
From the vase of Italian blue which
you held there,
And placed At in your rarest hair*

WHEN YOU WENT AWAY
'Twas astonishing—on that day
When you suddenly went away.
My garden that had been so gay
Faded amazingly to grey.

That night the frost came thru the

And froze the cosmos where they stood
In guileless sleep against the moon,
All shrouded in an evil gloom.
The fringed asters' purple lust
All changed into a crumbling rust ;
The coldness froze the lark-spur blue,
It must have blighted my heart too.

For when you left my garden 's wall
You made my world seem all so small;
That day when you went away, far,
You mie:ht have been grave Rebecca You left my garden gate ajar.

Ding! Dong ! Ding Dong! "One, two,
three, four, five!" The bells on the
church steeple rang out the hour of the
morning. People in the world were rising for their daily tasks—necessary
tasks, perhaps, for most people, but not,
for the girl-child who, robed in tweed
knickers, a mannish shirt , and a soft
felt hat of a deep orange material,
made her way up the steep mountain
in this early October morning. Panting and breathless, but happy and
smiling, she reached the top, jumped
on a large boulder , and expanded her
chest with a deep intake of the mountain air. Sfie was tired and it did seem
rather silly to tax one's strength so

GIRLS CUSTOMS ARE OFF
Although the "customs season" ii
past, this is the first opportunity the
Senior girls have had of expressing
their appreciation at the way in which
the Juniors fell into the spirit of the
customs. The time was shortened but
everyone seemed agreed that it was
long enough. The idea was not to
hurt anyone but to have some fun
and sport in a clean , wholesome way
by following out the tradition of having the girls wear something that will
indicate that they are Juniors. It is
in a degree a test of "What kind of
a sport are you?" If you resented
the rules you have yet to learn the
ideas of sportsmanship and what is a
greater asset in one's school life, than
to be a good sport and fall in line
with the maj ority? Those girls who
sp ortsmanlike kept the customs - have
won the admiration of their fellow

TOWNSHIP DEFEATS
JUNIOR VARSITY

On Saturday the Junior Varsity un,der the able direction of "Nick" Van buskirk as coach, played "Jerry " Fitzpatrick's husky Coal Township eleven.
The reserves lost the hard fought
game by the score of 13 to 0. The
game was hard fought and resplendent with thrills. Coal Township
scored its first touchdown in the second quarter and its second in the
last quarter. It was Bloomsbux-g's
first time under fire and as such they
played a much better defensive than
offensive game. Our inexperienced
line was unable to hold the opponent's veteran line and our backfield
was unable to gpt going when ground
was needed.
During the first quarter the two
teams were deadlocked in the middle
of the field though Coal Township had
one cHtnee te score but lost their
chances by a fumble. In the third
quarter Bloomsburg threatened to tie
the score by forward passes but lost I
the ball on a fumble.

was organized last year under the direction of Dr. H. Harrison Russsll.
Last year the club members exceeded
sixty and some excellent work was
accomplished in spite of the fact that
the club was newly formed. The obje ct of the club is to learn more of
the geographic and physiographic features of our country as well as those
of other countries. The activities of
the club are based upon talks by the
members on the various places of geographic interest which they have
visited. Prom time to time hikes are
taken to different places of geographic
interest. The club room is provided
! with a lantern slide which is used frequently. The first meeting of the society will be held Monday afternoon ,
October 24 at 4:20 P. M. in Room 40,
Science Hall. Those who have selected the Geographic Society either as
a maj or or minor extra-curricular activity or anyone else interested in 'the

COURTESY

Courtesy cost little, but is a fine

j deeds may seem trifling in themselves
I but they help to make your j ourney
through life happy.
Emerson said, "Life is not so short
I but th\ve is always time for courtesy."
"I beg your pardon," "please," "I
thank you"—all small words but how
they smooth the rough edges of our
contacts with the daily duties and social life about us.
Do you like people who are courteous? Does the habit of courtesy
have anything to do with the making
and keeping a wide circle of friends?
If courtesy is a habit get out your

PITY THE POOR MEN

CURRENT EVENTS

Party Convention or Direct Primary
in Maine?
The state of Maine next Tuesday
will settle by special election the question of continuation of the direct primary system. By initiative, petitions
to the state legislature, the vote will
take the form of an official act, whicb
states that an nominations for candidates in state or county offices shall
be by party caucuses and conventions
instead of the direct primary.
The results of this election win affect not only Maine but the United
States as well. It is of intense interest to alL There are arguments on
both, sides of the question. The direst pnamry certainly has freed us
from many serious evils incident to
the party convention system. The
opposers to the direct primary sometimes state this argument—no high
grade type of men can ever obtain
office under the ballot system; instead,
men of strong financial backing are
chosen. They charge that the party
caucus would change this because
great men, who are politicians usually, never hold office , but appoint men
really capable and worth while. It
seems to me that if the present laws
were repealed, too much would be
abolished. It would repeal not only
the direct primary but all laws and
regulations, concerning election expenditures, and state conventions o£
both parties. Thus the two parties
would be left without any method of
making nominations and the consequences of this move can be foreseen
by nobody.
Farm Conditions Called Prosperous
At last the picture of the gloomy
farmer can be erased, for this week
five greatf livestock and agriculture
papers have given a general resume
of farm conditions and all of them
report conditions as very favorable
throughout all the middle west.
Food* production is on consumption
basis; surpluses do not work the farmer now. Livestock sells for a good
price. Demand has caught up with
supply. Radicalism Is dwindling. It
looks as if our farm problem Is about
ready to vanish and the wonder of It
is that we have passed through a
trying time without sacrificing the
business of the country.
Looking at this politically, I think
ft Is gofng to affect the coming election. The farmers are satfsfied with
conditions,' they will not want to
eftange accordingly they will keep
the same party in power. The effect
of this same condftlon was seen when

The second varsity, playing the first

period, added a touchdown and a
safety. At half time the score was 14
to 0. No score resulted in the third
period, but the varsity, returning in
the final quarter , crushed through the
tired Bloomsburg team.
Bloomsburg gained at times but
could not sustain their offensive. West
Chester confined itself chiefly to a
running attack and gained consistently through the line and off the tackles. Bloomsburg's line was given a
busy afternoon and after Hawkins and
other regulars had been forced out
with injuries the line became greatly
weakened, Line material at the college has been scarce from the start
