Dirt band offers
^cosmic concert "
''The Dirt Band began in 1966
as The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, a
jug band, playing everything
from bluegrass to Cajuri, to
During
Rock and Roll.
this time the band had four hit
singles, 'Buy for Me the Rain,'
'Mr. Bojangles ,' 'House at Pooh
Corner,' and 'Some of Shelly's
Blues' (joined in 1973 by
Cosmic Cowboy').
In 1971 the band's manager,
William E. McEuen, launched a
project that was to have a
profound effect on country
music. For his project , a sixsided album called "Will the
Circle Be Unbroken", McEuen
took the Dirt Band to Nashville
and brought them together with
much of the cream, indeed the
'Old Guard', of country music:

If the album had never been

what happened in that Nashville
studio made music history as
the first creative encounter
between the country "establishment" and the country "hippie
counter culture". "
Eighteen months elapsed
between the recording and the
album's release, months in
which the national music press
was filled with rumor , praise
and speculation about the
album . Long before the critics
heard a single note, it was being
referred to as the country
album of the decade.
After the 'Circle' album
achieved gold status, the music
world began to openly speculate
on what the Dirt Band could do
to follow such a phenomenon.
The answer came in 1974 with
the release of "Stars and
a
Forever , "
Stripes
magnificently packaged two

"Stars and Stripes Forever" is
a vibrant, energetic anthology
of the Dirt Band' s music,
capturing all the humor and
exuberance of a multi-talented
band approaching the peak of
its career.
Always the focus of an intensely devoted 'underground'
following, the Dirt Band is now
gaining the widespread popular
recognition so long due them.
As rioted music critic Nat
Freedland said in a performance review in Billboard :
"...it's just that mass audiences
have caught up with what (the
Dirt Band) was driving at all
along. It's a gain all around , as
the Dirt Band takes its rightful
place as premier interpreter
of...country music to youthful ,
audiences."

"L ittle Sheba "an emotional Hit

t a^j *c • wvw
by PEGGY MORAN
"...Then he's gonna need you
pretty bad. "
The idea of people needing
other people echoed time and
again as the major theme of the
Bloomsburg
P l a y e r 's
production of William Inge's
"Come Back Little Sheba".
The story of a childless
middle aged couple tells of theirattempts to reconcile the
dreams of their youth with the
emptiness of their present.
As the play opens, Doc,
portrayed by wSJamie Bredbenner, has been on the wagon
for about a year. Later into the
story, when faced with a
situation he cannot accept Doc
reverts back to his old drinking
habits and winds up spending a
week drying out in the City
Hospital.
More than any other part Ive
seen him in , this role gave
Bredbenner an opportunity to
display his exceptional acting
talents.
Doc 's personality ran the
gamut from a mild mannered
chiropractor with" a crush on a
young college coed, to a man
trying to grapple with the unpleasan t realities of the present,
to the drunken rampage of a
man who refuses to seek refuge
in the past like his wife but not
strong enough yet to look
hopefully to the future.
In each instance Bredbenner 's and Doc's personality
merged to portray a real,
emotion-evoking character. .
Sharing the lead was Sandy
Schuyler as Doc's wife, Lola. A
high school beauty whose
desirableness faded as she got
older, her life still revolves
around the past as shown by her
refusal to accept the fact that
her dog, little Sheba has run
away.
The classic example of a
person who has given up hope of
happiness in the present * Lola
looks to the past but finds only
loneliness as she has lost the
beauty that made it so
memorable..
Schuyler played the role well,
eliciting feelings of pity from
the audience , using mann erisms and costuming to add
to the acting.
The high' point of Lola's role
came when Doc returns home
fro m the hospital and asks her
to forgive him. He breaks down
into tears and she comforts him
saying "you're all I've got,
you're all I've ever had." The
emotional impact of the play is
at its peak in this scene.
In the first dramatic role I've
seen her in, Becky Owens did a
great job as Marie as Doc and
Lola's border.
My first impression of Marie
was as a healthy girl making
the best of being young while
keeping a certain aspect of
propriety . It is not till the end of
the play that she is seen as
basically self-centered.
Owens makes ^the character
come alive as the audience tries
to follow her schedule of boy
friends. The real character
relevation comes at the end of
the play when she arrives home
with her fiance to tell Lola and
Doc she's leaving to. get
married.
Lola is in an evident state of
upsetedness but Marie fails to
notice. She chatters on and says
good-bye leaving the hollow
promise that someday she'll
come back to visit.
Marie's at-school boyfriend,
Turk, was played by Payson
Burt. A young man whose main
concern is young woman whose
main concern is young women.
Burt played a fun ny , convincing
role.
In an excellently done supporting role was Bernadette

her disbelief about the tidiness
of Lola's house or comforting
her after Doc's drinking binge,
Haas helped add that extra bit
of professionalism that showed
throughout the entire olav.

Sexual rel^ionships
By ERIC YAMOAH
There art* a number of culturall y-recognized types of malefemale sexual relationshi ps in the Akan (Ghanian tribe)
society. Only heterosexual relationships are accepted.
Celibacy, homosexuality and lesbianism are not socially
recognized in the Akan society and there are no words in
the language for any of these concepts. Although male
friends often hold hands, hug or even dance together^ publically (obvious signs of homosexuality in Western culture),
the entire idea of homosexual activity is unknown and
appears to be beyond the scope of reality for the Akan.
In the secondary boarding school (equivalent to American
high school) where hundreds of students live together (like
they do in colleges over here), a female friend of a girl is
called "I5UPI," but the term does not have the sexual connotations which lesbianism has in the West.
Sexual foreplay and the concept of romance differ greatly
between the Akan and the Western cultures. Although the
Akan enjoy a full range of sexual positions , oral or group
sex activities which even Westernized Akan cannot understand or accept. Romance is a concept taken from Western
movies , but in the Akan context there need be no psychological or emotional component , romance being equivalent
to petting in the American sense of the word. Romance as
petting activity is important mainly for the younger generation, especially those boarding in the secondary schools
where they are more influenced by Western ideas. Kissing
and sexual foreplay in the form of fondling of the breasts
and the female and male genitals would be considered
more irregular by a villager or a non-Westernized Akan.
Among the Akan, it is difficult to learn who is having an
affair with Whom since much of this activity is kept a1 a
private level, many relationships being held in the strictest
confidence.Male bragging as found in the American teenage context ,for example, would be considered highly irregufer in the Akan context. There is no strict equivalent
of the Western concept of platonic love; should a male be
seen conversing with a female in a public place the first
assumption would be that he was attempting to arrange a
sexual alliance for himself , or , more likely, for a mutual
friend. Dating in the Western sense is unknown among my
tribe. Sex is never indulged in publically, one never sees
males and females holding hands, kissing, petting, or having
even intimate contact in any place where they might be
seen. The Western openness is appalling to the Akan.

In the eyes of a journalist,
that all-important
First
Amendment of the Constitution
says it all, "Congress shall
make no law respecting an
establishment of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise
thereof ;y or abridging the
freedom ' of speech or of the
press".
In this bicentennial year, a
special sense of history must be
felt, for history reminds us that
the. ^Constitution insured the
freedom of the press in
America. In this sense, the
week of October tenth thru
sixteenth has been set aside as
"National Newspaper Week",
with the theme of "Defend the
First Amendment, Freedom of
press ,. . a Mandate from
history ", to signify reaffirmation of the publics rights to
know.
Newspaper Week, sponsored
by the National Association
Managers Inc., which includes
55 state, regional, and National
newspaper associations, is
aimed ' at explaining that
"freedom of the press" in the
First Amendment is "freedom
for the public's right to know" not a privilege of the newspaper
industry or any other medium.
, In a recent statement issued
by Bill Boykin, President of
N.A.M. Inc., Mr. Boykin cited
that, " we try to remember in
the . printed Media that the
printed word represents the
'only' free press in the nation.
Broadcast Media are 'licensed
by the F.C.C. and woe be the
day when newspapers have to
go to Washington DC. to get
licenses renewed periodically."

Angel crashes
the consciousness
by STU DUNBAR
Angel (Casablanca Records )
One night last semester while
contemplating studying I
remembered my friend had just
bought a new album . Hesitantly
(cough) I put the books down,
walked down the hall, borrowed
the album, went back to my
room , opened the books ,
listened to the first song, put the
books back on the dusty, shelve,
and listened to the album ,
twice.
Angel, a relatively new group
from England consists of five
guys from England. Greg
Guiffria on organ , piano ,
synthesziser, and ' harp(sicord.
Barry Brandt playing drums
and percussion, Mickey Jones
playing electric bass, Punky
Meadows handling all guitars ,
and Frank Dimino doing all the
vocalizing.
Their first album simply
entitled "Angel", was cut in
early 1975 on Casablanca
Records. It consists of some of
the heaviest and best arranged
music that to me has emerged
from the 70's. With the com-

Dimino, along with the crasj iihg

soothing organ and synthesizer
of Guiffria side one of Angel is a
true masterpiece with nothing
but solid, consistent Swell
arranged music, not like many
albums where one side has a
combo of soft and hard rock,
this side is strictly for very
heavy rock fans.
Side Two picks up where Side
one leaves off . As the cartridge
dropped on the spinning disc,
once again crashing, almost
earpiercing music emerges
form the Bose 901's. Reaching
levels of Minny Ripperton's
voice, Dimino sings about
broken dreams, and Guiffria
puts me in a trance with his
fantastic multi-instrument solo.
Before I realized that the first
cut was over the Mariner , a
slower but still heavy song
began and so it went with side
two. From the ending of what I
thought could be the heaviest
song produced to the next
equally heavy
crashing,
lightning-thunder type of music
the album spun on. When it was
over , and my ears still ringing, I
decided to make it a point to buy
the album and did so.

Wilkes bow to Husky stickwomen
by DEIVISE
bv
DEMISE RATH
Defeating Wilkes College
Thursday past, 2-1, ,the varsity
field hockey team boosted its
record to 2-2-1. With their
victory, 2-0, the junior varsity
remains undefeated this season.
A fine rain fell throughout the
first half of the game, slowing
the pace considerably. Rather
poor officiating, in combination
with the drizzle, hampered both
teams. A good rush on . goal
culminated with a score for
Bloomsburg, but the goal was
immediately disallowed-for
reasons that still remain
unknown. Later in the half ,
Nancy Chapman led a beautiful
50 yard rush and scored the
Husky's first goal. The entire
forward line out-hustled the
defense of Wilkes and Nancy
broke in on the goalie for the
score. It was an excellent end to
end play, originating with the
BSC defense. Wilkes did not
score for the remainder of the
half and trailed Bloomsburg 1-0
at its end.
Late in the second half ,
Wilkes tied the game, scoring
on a ball rebounding from
goalie Bev Crawford's pads.
The score followed some heavy
pressure by Wilkes; they had
just completed four successive
penalty corners. With neither
team willing to settle for a tie,
the exciting play continued.
Terry McHale scored the game
winner for Bloomsburg. The
women put forth a fine effort
and the win was well-deserved.
Hopefully, an improvement will
be seen.
The j unior varsity added
another win to its record ,

forward Kathy Stanislaw put
the Huskies ahead in the first
half , scoring on a good rush. No
other goals were scored in the
JF
half.
The second half saw the same
hustling and battling " that
charac terized the first 25
minutes of play. Playing in a
steady rain , Bloomsburg held
Wilkes scoreless, while adding
another goal to ensure the win.

BlOomsburg's junior varsity
is having a fine season, and to
repeat , is undefeated. The
varsity, coming off this win , is
hoping to do well in their game
against Susquehanna
on
Tuesday, October 12.
The extremely poor officiating could have cost either
team a win on Thursday afternoon. While referees and
officials should not be used as
excuses for losses or bad play,
those who witnessed the game
should not be misled. The two
officials calling the match were
not aware of some of hockey's
basic, albeit - newer rules.
Mailey scores in OT,
Susquehanna looses
by TIM O'LEARY
The soccer team won their
second game of the season this
week, edging past Susquehanna
University by a score of 3-2. It
was the huskies fourth overtime
game in six outings, with the
victory coming at home in
Redman Stadium .
Susquehanna drew first blood
in the game, scoring only 18
minutes into the first half. Rob
Hazel kicked in an eighteen
yard shot to give Susquehanna a
one goal lead.
The Huskies came right
back , however , when Jim
Mailey blasted in a fifteen yard
shot late in the first half.
Mailey 's goal came on an assist
from Steve Buck, and tied the
goal at one all. That ended the
scoring for the first half and left
the score tied at one.
Susquehanna opened the
scoring in the second half also,
and moved to a one goal lead on
Bruce Fehn's drive from twelve
yards. But the Huskies came
back once again , this time late
in the period to tie the game at
two. John Milhouse scored from
thirty yards out on an
unassisted shot at 36:54 of the
half. The tying goal sent the
game into what is becoming a
commonplace occurrence for
the Huskies - overtime.
The difference between this
and most of the overtime
periods that Bloomsburg has
played in is that the Huskies
won this game. It took both
teams two overtime periods to
mount an offense. But finally
early the second overtime of the
game Bloomsburg worked hard

enough to win the game. Jim
Mailey scored his second goal of
the game at 5:55 of the period on
an unassisted shot from 20
yards. Bloomsburg took their
second victory of the year. 3-2.
For the Huskies, the statistics
seemed to show an edge on the
game. Bloomsburg got off 22
shots on goal, as compared to
Susquehanna 's 10. In penalties
the teams were matched with
twenty-eigh t fouls apiece.
Bloomsburg got caught offsides
twice and Susquehanna six
times'.
The Huskies next game is on
Saturday against Messiah

In 1971 the band's manager,

project that was to have a
profound effect on country

Circle Be Unbroken", McEuen
took the Dirt Band to Nashville
and brought them together with
much of the cream, indeed the

If the album had never been

what happened in that Nashville
studio made music history as
the first creative encounter
between the country "establishment" and the country "hippie
counter culture". "
Eighteen months elapsed
between the recording and the
album's release, months in
which the national music press
was filled with rumor , praise
and speculation about the
album . Long before the critics
heard a single note, it was being
referred to as the country
album of the decade.
After the 'Circle' album
achieved gold status, the music
world began to openly speculate
on what the Dirt Band could do
to follow such a phenomenon.
The answer came in 1974 with
the release of "Stars and
a
Forever , "

magnificently packaged two

"Stars and Stripes Forever" is
a vibrant, energetic anthology
of the Dirt Band' s music,
capturing all the humor and
exuberance of a multi-talented
band approaching the peak of
its career.
Always the focus of an intensely devoted 'underground'
following, the Dirt Band is now
gaining the widespread popular
recognition so long due them.
As rioted music critic Nat
Freedland said in a performance review in Billboard :
"...it's just that mass audiences
have caught up with what (the
Dirt Band) was driving at all
along. It's a gain all around , as
the Dirt Band takes its rightful
place as premier interpreter
of...country music to youthful ,
audiences."

"L ittle Sheba "an emotional Hit
- —»»^ w.»»» * -> w j — - .— .»
t a^j *c • wvw
by PEGGY MORAN
"...Then he's gonna need you
pretty bad. "
The idea of people needing
other people echoed time and
again as the major theme of the
Bloomsburg
P l a y e r 's
production of William Inge's
"Come Back Little Sheba".
The story of a childless
middle aged couple tells of theirattempts to reconcile the
dreams of their youth with the
emptiness of their present.
As the play opens, Doc,
portrayed by wSJamie Bredbenner, has been on the wagon
for about a year. Later into the
story, when faced with a
situation he cannot accept Doc
reverts back to his old drinking
habits and winds up spending a
week drying out in the City
Hospital.
More than any other part Ive
seen him in , this role gave
Bredbenner an opportunity to
display his exceptional acting
talents.
Doc 's personality ran the
gamut from a mild mannered
chiropractor with" a crush on a
young college coed, to a man
trying to grapple with the unpleasan t realities of the present,
to the drunken rampage of a
man who refuses to seek refuge
in the past like his wife but not
strong enough yet to look
hopefully to the future.
In each instance Bredbenner 's and Doc's personality
merged to portray a real,
emotion-evoking character. .
Sharing the lead was Sandy
Schuyler as Doc's wife, Lola. A
high school beauty whose
desirableness faded as she got
older, her life still revolves
around the past as shown by her
refusal to accept the fact that
her dog, little Sheba has run
away.
The classic example of a
person who has given up hope of
happiness in the present * Lola
looks to the past but finds only
loneliness as she has lost the
beauty that made it so
memorable..
Schuyler played the role well,
eliciting feelings of pity from
the audience , using mann erisms and costuming to add
to the acting.
The high' point of Lola's role
came when Doc returns home
fro m the hospital and asks her
to forgive him. He breaks down
into tears and she comforts him
saying "you're all I've got,
you're all I've ever had." The
emotional impact of the play is
at its peak in this scene.
In the first dramatic role I've
seen her in, Becky Owens did a
great job as Marie as Doc and
Lola's border.
My first impression of Marie
was as a healthy girl making
the best of being young while
keeping a certain aspect of
propriety . It is not till the end of
the play that she is seen as
basically self-centered.
Owens makes ^the character
come alive as the audience tries
to follow her schedule of boy
friends. The real character
relevation comes at the end of
the play when she arrives home
with her fiance to tell Lola and
Doc she's leaving to. get
married.
Lola is in an evident state of
upsetedness but Marie fails to
notice. She chatters on and says
good-bye leaving the hollow
promise that someday she'll
come back to visit.
Marie's at-school boyfriend,
Turk, was played by Payson
Burt. A young man whose main
concern is young woman whose
main concern is young women.
Burt played a fun ny , convincing
role.
In an excellently done supporting role was Bernadette
Haas as Lola's neighbor Mrs.

her disbelief about the tidiness

her after Doc's drinking binge,
Haas helped add that extra bit

throughout the entire olav.

Sexual rel^ionships
By ERIC YAMOAH
There art* a number of culturall y-recognized types of malefemale sexual relationshi ps in the Akan (Ghanian tribe)
society. Only heterosexual relationships are accepted.
Celibacy, homosexuality and lesbianism are not socially
recognized in the Akan society and there are no words in
the language for any of these concepts. Although male
friends often hold hands, hug or even dance together^ publically (obvious signs of homosexuality in Western culture),
the entire idea of homosexual activity is unknown and
appears to be beyond the scope of reality for the Akan.
In the secondary boarding school (equivalent to American
high school) where hundreds of students live together (like
they do in colleges over here), a female friend of a girl is
called "I5UPI," but the term does not have the sexual connotations which lesbianism has in the West.
Sexual foreplay and the concept of romance differ greatly
between the Akan and the Western cultures. Although the
Akan enjoy a full range of sexual positions , oral or group
sex activities which even Westernized Akan cannot understand or accept. Romance is a concept taken from Western
movies , but in the Akan context there need be no psychological or emotional component , romance being equivalent
to petting in the American sense of the word. Romance as
petting activity is important mainly for the younger generation, especially those boarding in the secondary schools
where they are more influenced by Western ideas. Kissing
and sexual foreplay in the form of fondling of the breasts
and the female and male genitals would be considered
more irregular by a villager or a non-Westernized Akan.
Among the Akan, it is difficult to learn who is having an
affair with Whom since much of this activity is kept a1 a
private level, many relationships being held in the strictest
confidence.Male bragging as found in the American teenage context ,for example, would be considered highly irregufer in the Akan context. There is no strict equivalent
of the Western concept of platonic love; should a male be
seen conversing with a female in a public place the first
assumption would be that he was attempting to arrange a
sexual alliance for himself , or , more likely, for a mutual
friend. Dating in the Western sense is unknown among my
tribe. Sex is never indulged in publically, one never sees
males and females holding hands, kissing, petting, or having
even intimate contact in any place where they might be
seen. The Western openness is appalling to the Akan.

that, " we try to remember in

Discritique
Angel crashes
the consciousness
by STU DUNBAR
Angel (Casablanca Records )
One night last semester while
contemplating studying I
remembered my friend had just
bought a new album . Hesitantly
(cough) I put the books down,
walked down the hall, borrowed
the album, went back to my
room , opened the books ,
listened to the first song, put the
books back on the dusty, shelve,
and listened to the album ,
twice.
Angel, a relatively new group
from England consists of five
guys from England. Greg
Guiffria on organ , piano ,
synthesziser, and ' harp(sicord.
Barry Brandt playing drums
and percussion, Mickey Jones
playing electric bass, Punky
Meadows handling all guitars ,
and Frank Dimino doing all the
vocalizing.
Their first album simply
entitled "Angel", was cut in
early 1975 on Casablanca
Records. It consists of some of
the heaviest and best arranged
music that to me has emerged
from the 70's. With the com-

Dimino, along with the crasj iihg

soothing organ and synthesizer
of Guiffria side one of Angel is a
true masterpiece with nothing
but solid, consistent Swell
arranged music, not like many
albums where one side has a
combo of soft and hard rock,
this side is strictly for very
heavy rock fans.
Side Two picks up where Side
one leaves off . As the cartridge
dropped on the spinning disc,
once again crashing, almost
earpiercing music emerges
form the Bose 901's. Reaching
levels of Minny Ripperton's
voice, Dimino sings about
broken dreams, and Guiffria
puts me in a trance with his
fantastic multi-instrument solo.
Before I realized that the first
cut was over the Mariner , a
slower but still heavy song
began and so it went with side
two. From the ending of what I
thought could be the heaviest
song produced to the next
equally heavy
crashing,
lightning-thunder type of music
the album spun on. When it was
over , and my ears still ringing, I
decided to make it a point to buy
the album and did so.

Wilkes bow to Husky stickwomen
by DEIVISE
bv
DEMISE RATH
Defeating Wilkes College
Thursday past, 2-1, ,the varsity
field hockey team boosted its
record to 2-2-1. With their
victory, 2-0, the junior varsity
remains undefeated this season.
A fine rain fell throughout the
first half of the game, slowing
the pace considerably. Rather
poor officiating, in combination
with the drizzle, hampered both
teams. A good rush on . goal
culminated with a score for
Bloomsburg, but the goal was
immediately disallowed-for
reasons that still remain
unknown. Later in the half ,
Nancy Chapman led a beautiful
50 yard rush and scored the
Husky's first goal. The entire
forward line out-hustled the
defense of Wilkes and Nancy
broke in on the goalie for the
score. It was an excellent end to
end play, originating with the
BSC defense. Wilkes did not
score for the remainder of the
half and trailed Bloomsburg 1-0
at its end.
Late in the second half ,
Wilkes tied the game, scoring
on a ball rebounding from
goalie Bev Crawford's pads.
The score followed some heavy
pressure by Wilkes; they had
just completed four successive
penalty corners. With neither
team willing to settle for a tie,
the exciting play continued.
Terry McHale scored the game
winner for Bloomsburg. The
women put forth a fine effort
and the win was well-deserved.
Hopefully, an improvement will
be seen.
The j unior varsity added
another win to its record ,
shutting out Wilkes , 2-0. Center
forward Kathy Stanislaw put
the Huskies ahead in the first
half , scoring on a good rush. No
other goals were scored in the
JF
half.
The second half saw the same
hustling and battling " that
charac terized the first 25
minutes of play. Playing in a
steady rain , Bloomsburg held
Wilkes scoreless, while adding
another goal to ensure the win.
Marianne McGonegal , who

game, scored the only goal of
the second half,
BlOomsburg's junior varsity
is having a fine season, and to
repeat , is undefeated. The
varsity, coming off this win , is
hoping to do well in their game
against Susquehanna
on
Tuesday, October 12.
The extremely poor officiating could have cost either
team a win on Thursday afternoon. While referees and
officials should not be used as
excuses for losses or bad play,
those who witnessed the game
should not be misled. The two
officials calling the match were
not aware of some of hockey's
basic, albeit - newer rules.
Mailey scores in OT,
Susquehanna looses
by TIM O'LEARY
The soccer team won their
second game of the season this
week, edging past Susquehanna
University by a score of 3-2. It
was the huskies fourth overtime
game in six outings, with the
victory coming at home in
Redman Stadium .
Susquehanna drew first blood
in the game, scoring only 18
minutes into the first half. Rob
Hazel kicked in an eighteen
yard shot to give Susquehanna a
one goal lead.
The Huskies came right
back , however , when Jim
Mailey blasted in a fifteen yard
shot late in the first half.
Mailey 's goal came on an assist
from Steve Buck, and tied the
goal at one all. That ended the
scoring for the first half and left
the score tied at one.
Susquehanna opened the
scoring in the second half also,
and moved to a one goal lead on
Bruce Fehn's drive from twelve
yards. But the Huskies came
back once again , this time late
in the period to tie the game at
two. John Milhouse scored from
thirty yards out on an
unassisted shot at 36:54 of the
half. The tying goal sent the
game into what is becoming a
commonplace occurrence for
the Huskies - overtime.
The difference between this
and most of the overtime
periods that Bloomsburg has
played in is that the Huskies
won this game. It took both
teams two overtime periods to
mount an offense. But finally
early the second overtime of the
game Bloomsburg worked hard

enough to win the game. Jim
Mailey scored his second goal of
the game at 5:55 of the period on
an unassisted shot from 20
yards. Bloomsburg took their
second victory of the year. 3-2.
For the Huskies, the statistics
seemed to show an edge on the
game. Bloomsburg got off 22
shots on goal, as compared to
Susquehanna 's 10. In penalties
the teams were matched with
twenty-eigh t fouls apiece.
Bloomsburg got caught offsides
twice and Susquehanna six
times'.
The Huskies next game is on
Saturday against Messiah
College at 2:00, away.
