EDITORIAL NOTES [
....
for their college degrees should look with interest at the
current mass production of college-trained men and women
who are seeking positions in the business world, because it
is that same mass production which is destined to cause
a turn-over in present requirements for degrees.
Undoubtedly The Trend
....
in the future will be towards broader and more liberal dogrees, and the college curricula will gradually assume the
form of appreciation courses centered around one central core subject or vocation. Employers are tio longer
looking for graduates specialized in any particular field.
Thoy have learned that an employee who knows a little
about many things is a much better worker then one who
supposedly knows much about one thing. Ho has learned
enough about the many things of life to build up an appreciation for them, and as soon as appreciation is developed, ability and oven skill are sure to follow.

J. "Whiter Coleman
Just recently off the press is J.
Walter Coleman's book, "Tho Molly
Maguiro Riots," which may be of particular interest to students on this
campus who come from the coal regions in tho eastern part of Pennsylvania. The Molly Maguircs, a secret
society known also as the Ancient Order of the Hibernians, comes before our
eyes in a new aspect, but still retaining
some of the glamour and mystery
which has always veiled tho true story
of this group of men.
The author tells of the individual
conflict of the Pennsylvania coal region in such a way as to make us realize the reason for the riots and outbursts of violence that grew and grew
until they were transformed into organized crime groups. Coming to America from across the Atlantic, coming in particularly large numbers from
Ireland in the early part of the nineteenth century, immigrants who had
worked in mines moved directly to the
coal region in eastern Pennsylvania!
Feeling against the Irish was high ;
Wel sh , English , and Scotch would have
very Little to do with .them. The employers, their eyes on the dollar, kept
the newcomers impoverished. The natural tendency from such treatment led
the Irish to band together. Labor
unions were objected to by the employers because they feared the potential ,
power of the employees.
The result
was that secret societies were Instituted, one of these being Ancient Order of
the
Hibernian s,
an
organization
brought from Ireland . From this came
the Molly MJaguires.
In a short time, however, this society
had changed from a protective to an
aggressive organization. The real object of the society was lost.
Various
bands began to strike out for themselves, committing various crimes in
order to avenge themselves and their
friends . A long list of crimes, including assault and battery, incendiarism,
robbery, and murder wore laid at tho
feet of these bands, all of whom were
supposed to belong to the Mollies.
The employers, in order to protect
tholr business, at last hired a detective
from the famous Pinkerton Detective
Agency to come Into tho rogion and
work on tho case. Tho man selected
for the job was an Irishman named
McPharlin. His work on tho case ha*,

not having boon as thorough and swift
as it might hayo been. Nevertheless,

Bloomsburg Coaches Attend
Berwick Football Banquet
Coaches C. Austin Tate and George.
Buchheit were among the thirty or
forty grid luminaries attending the
eleventh annual football banquet at
Berwick last week.
A few of the popular coaches going
to the up-river town as honor guests
included Red Grange; Noble Kizer, of
Purd ue; Clipper Smith, of Villanova;
Rip Miller, of Navy ; and all the college and high school coaches within a
radius of about forty or fifty miles of
Berwick.
The banquet, acclaimed the very best
in the East, attracted more than two
hundred Berwick grid fans.
Dusting Off The Old Question
While many of the Pennsylvania State Teacher College
teams ended a mediocre football season, the big and brutal professors of Lock Haven Teachers College fought
bravely against great odds and finished the season with
only a few minor scratches to marr an otherwise perfect
record. With their pluck and courage came the crown
that really isn't—the Pennsylvania State Teachers College
crown.
And with the laurels tha t really aren't came once
more that editorial question, "Why not organize conferences?" Year after year the question of Teachers College
conferences is brought up and discussed, only to be shpved back in the pigeon hole of . unfinished business to await
discussion the following year , _ How much more satisfaction a team could have were it possible to say "We won the
Teachers College championship in football" and to know at
the same time that they had been officially crowned the
winners.
Or, in the event of technicalities in the formation of
conferences, why not organize a board of judges made up
of official representatives fro m all the Teachers Colleges
and give that Board the right to valuate the various teams _
at the end of the season. The P. I. A. A, methods of determining winners may find some use among the fourteen
Teachers Colleges. While they may not be adapted to
the particular situation, some phases of the plan may bo
practical if used in a new set up.
At any rate, the question has once more been brought
from its resting place, and the writer has again shown
th at , while he himself doesn't know what to do about it, he
'
still hopes someone else may.

Ithaca Five Here To Win
Third From Bloom Tonight
New Yorkers Offer First Real
Opposition to Buchheit
Charges
Tonight the Bloomsburg basketeero
take on a strong Ithaca five in the first
major game of the season. The New
Yorkers are always a tough opponent
for the local dribblers , having defeated
the Huskies by one point in 1934 and
winning from thfem last year by a 36-25
score. Last year's battle was a close
one in which Bloom outsccred the
Ithaca aggregation from the floor, losing to them on foul shots in the closing1
minutes of the game.
Of last year's varsity, only three remain. They are Captain Kaufman,

COLLEGE STUDENTS MAP PLANS FOR STATE CON VENTION
Irving' Kucltlc, Jr.
Irving Ruckle, Husky basketball .captain, announced that he would probably be In shape for the Susqueha nna game scheduled January 9 on
the local court. Four weeks ago,
Ruckle broke a bone in his left hand in
a practice game and has been on the
side-lines while Chalmers Wenrick, a
newcomer to basketball ranks, capably
handled the right forward position, left
vacant by the flashy captain.
Ruckle, a product of Newport Township higrh school, is the third man from
that town to captain the Husky squad.
Blackburn led the team in 1934, Phillips in 1935.
Asked what he'd rather do than play
basketball, Ruck replied, . "Play more
basketball." After glancing at his record of pasA performances, it looks as
though he means it. During his two
years between high school and college,
lie played'over 100 games in one season
¦with Nanticoke, of the Penn State
League, with the Wanamie Bears, the
Nanticoke Celtics, and the Glen Lyon
Chinatown A, C.
Twenty-.four years old, Ruckle says
the years passed too fast for him to
catch up. When asked what he prefers, he immediately answered "redheads." His favorite game seems to be
traveling on the Greyhound to Northumberland.
Getting down to serious questions,
his answer to -what games he considered toughest on the 1937 Husky schedule
was Ithaca, MMlersville, Stroudsburg,
and Shippe nsburgr. The pushovers are
likely to be Mansfield and Lock Haven ,
although he believes Bloomsburg may
lose to Lock Haven away. He conceded Susq uehanna a fifty-fifty chance.
The hardest men he'll play against
this year are Bishop, of Mlllersville,
and Rogan, Stroudsburg. Rogan, at.
present, is in the same predicament as
Ruckle, with a broken hand keeping
him out of the early season games.
Concerning the team 's prospect, Irving says they look better than they
ever did. "The Alumni gamo was no
match. The real test comes today whem
wo meet Ithaca." He thinks Withka
shows the most ,improvement in individ ual playing, and Is perfectly satisfied with the way Wonricli is handling
his position.

EDITORIAL NOTES [
....
for their college degrees should look with interest at the
current mass production of college-trained men and women
who are seeking positions in the business world, because it
is that same mass production which is destined to cause
a turn-over in present requirements for degrees.
Undoubtedly The Trend
....
in the future will be towards broader and more liberal dogrees, and the college curricula will gradually assume the
form of appreciation courses centered around one central core subject or vocation. Employers are tio longer
looking for graduates specialized in any particular field.
Thoy have learned that an employee who knows a little
about many things is a much better worker then one who
supposedly knows much about one thing. Ho has learned
enough about the many things of life to build up an appreciation for them, and as soon as appreciation is developed, ability and oven skill are sure to follow.

J. "Whiter Coleman
Just recently off the press is J.
Walter Coleman's book, "Tho Molly
Maguiro Riots," which may be of particular interest to students on this
campus who come from the coal regions in tho eastern part of Pennsylvania. The Molly Maguircs, a secret
society known also as the Ancient Order of the Hibernians, comes before our
eyes in a new aspect, but still retaining
some of the glamour and mystery
which has always veiled tho true story
of this group of men.
The author tells of the individual
conflict of the Pennsylvania coal region in such a way as to make us realize the reason for the riots and outbursts of violence that grew and grew
until they were transformed into organized crime groups. Coming to America from across the Atlantic, coming in particularly large numbers from
Ireland in the early part of the nineteenth century, immigrants who had
worked in mines moved directly to the
coal region in eastern Pennsylvania!
Feeling against the Irish was high ;
Wel sh , English , and Scotch would have
very Little to do with .them. The employers, their eyes on the dollar, kept
the newcomers impoverished. The natural tendency from such treatment led
the Irish to band together. Labor
unions were objected to by the employers because they feared the potential ,
power of the employees.
The result
was that secret societies were Instituted, one of these being Ancient Order of
the
Hibernian s,
an
organization
brought from Ireland . From this came
the Molly MJaguires.
In a short time, however, this society
had changed from a protective to an
aggressive organization. The real object of the society was lost.
Various
bands began to strike out for themselves, committing various crimes in
order to avenge themselves and their
friends . A long list of crimes, including assault and battery, incendiarism,
robbery, and murder wore laid at tho
feet of these bands, all of whom were
supposed to belong to the Mollies.
The employers, in order to protect
tholr business, at last hired a detective
from the famous Pinkerton Detective
Agency to come Into tho rogion and
work on tho case. Tho man selected
for the job was an Irishman named
McPharlin. His work on tho case ha*,

not having boon as thorough and swift
as it might hayo been. Nevertheless,

Bloomsburg Coaches Attend
Berwick Football Banquet
Coaches C. Austin Tate and George.
Buchheit were among the thirty or
forty grid luminaries attending the
eleventh annual football banquet at
Berwick last week.
A few of the popular coaches going
to the up-river town as honor guests
included Red Grange; Noble Kizer, of
Purd ue; Clipper Smith, of Villanova;
Rip Miller, of Navy ; and all the college and high school coaches within a
radius of about forty or fifty miles of
Berwick.
The banquet, acclaimed the very best
in the East, attracted more than two
hundred Berwick grid fans.
Dusting Off The Old Question
While many of the Pennsylvania State Teacher College
teams ended a mediocre football season, the big and brutal professors of Lock Haven Teachers College fought
bravely against great odds and finished the season with
only a few minor scratches to marr an otherwise perfect
record. With their pluck and courage came the crown
that really isn't—the Pennsylvania State Teachers College
crown.
And with the laurels tha t really aren't came once
more that editorial question, "Why not organize conferences?" Year after year the question of Teachers College
conferences is brought up and discussed, only to be shpved back in the pigeon hole of . unfinished business to await
discussion the following year , _ How much more satisfaction a team could have were it possible to say "We won the
Teachers College championship in football" and to know at
the same time that they had been officially crowned the
winners.
Or, in the event of technicalities in the formation of
conferences, why not organize a board of judges made up
of official representatives fro m all the Teachers Colleges
and give that Board the right to valuate the various teams _
at the end of the season. The P. I. A. A, methods of determining winners may find some use among the fourteen
Teachers Colleges. While they may not be adapted to
the particular situation, some phases of the plan may bo
practical if used in a new set up.
At any rate, the question has once more been brought
from its resting place, and the writer has again shown
th at , while he himself doesn't know what to do about it, he
'
still hopes someone else may.

the Huskies by one point in 1934 and
winning from thfem last year by a 36-25
score. Last year's battle was a close
one in which Bloom outsccred the
Ithaca aggregation from the floor, losing to them on foul shots in the closing1
minutes of the game.

COLLEGE STUDENTS MAP PLANS FOR STATE CON VENTION
Irving' Kucltlc, Jr.
Irving Ruckle, Husky basketball .captain, announced that he would probably be In shape for the Susqueha nna game scheduled January 9 on
the local court. Four weeks ago,
Ruckle broke a bone in his left hand in
a practice game and has been on the
side-lines while Chalmers Wenrick, a
newcomer to basketball ranks, capably
handled the right forward position, left
vacant by the flashy captain.
Ruckle, a product of Newport Township higrh school, is the third man from
that town to captain the Husky squad.
Blackburn led the team in 1934, Phillips in 1935.
Asked what he'd rather do than play
basketball, Ruck replied, . "Play more
basketball." After glancing at his record of pasA performances, it looks as
though he means it. During his two
years between high school and college,
lie played'over 100 games in one season
¦with Nanticoke, of the Penn State
League, with the Wanamie Bears, the
Nanticoke Celtics, and the Glen Lyon
Chinatown A, C.
Twenty-.four years old, Ruckle says
the years passed too fast for him to
catch up. When asked what he prefers, he immediately answered "redheads." His favorite game seems to be
traveling on the Greyhound to Northumberland.
Getting down to serious questions,
his answer to -what games he considered toughest on the 1937 Husky schedule
was Ithaca, MMlersville, Stroudsburg,
and Shippe nsburgr. The pushovers are
likely to be Mansfield and Lock Haven ,
although he believes Bloomsburg may
lose to Lock Haven away. He conceded Susq uehanna a fifty-fifty chance.
The hardest men he'll play against
this year are Bishop, of Mlllersville,
and Rogan, Stroudsburg. Rogan, at.
present, is in the same predicament as
Ruckle, with a broken hand keeping
him out of the early season games.
Concerning the team 's prospect, Irving says they look better than they
ever did. "The Alumni gamo was no
match. The real test comes today whem
wo meet Ithaca." He thinks Withka
shows the most ,improvement in individ ual playing, and Is perfectly satisfied with the way Wonricli is handling
his position.
