"What happened to the wrestling
team? " "Why don't you have wrestling on the hill this year?" I have
heard these questions and many others'lately on the campus and also
from supporters of the college in the
town. Students and townspeople
alike supported wrestling; the attendance verified this. I know a man
from Bloomsburg who hurried to finish his work early on the afternoons
the mat men performed. If this infan t in our sport world received support like this, why should wrestling
be stopped?
Some say we have no funds, no
equipment, and no coach. If the team
struggled along for three years previou s, they should be able—and
glad—to
manage again.
;
Others say , "Look at the record.
The wrestling team hasn't won
much." Gi ve 'em a chance. Last year
was.the first year that wrestling was
considered a varsity sport. Some of
their opponents have had wrestling
on the schedule for years. I can
mention other teams which haven't
compiled such an impressive record ,
and nobody says anything about removing those teams.
Maybe the equipment isn 't so good ,
but it's good enough to use until the
new gymnasium is opened, and new
equipment supplied. Maybe there is
no coach on the campus , but Coach
Horner f rom Shamokin drove here
three times a week during the wrestling season for two years; probably
he would be willing to do the same
again,
Wrestling should not be stopped
until the school's ship comes in. A
few years' lay-off will undo everything thnt has been accomplished.
Let's try to gel wrestling back again;
inter-mural wrestling would be better than no wrestling at all.
As a member of last year's wrestling team I can say for the other
members of the team that wo would
like to hnve wrestling, and that we
would do our best if we had the
chance. If you like to watch wrestli ng, can't you help us so that we can
wrestle for you?

And some flne day, perhaps next year
I'll hove a chance to peek therein—
Who knows—perhaps I'll even swim!

OST OF US know little about the history of the highly useful calenM dars hanging on the walls of our homes, offices , schools, and practically all political , social , and educa tional institutions. We accept our calen dar as a matter of course and seldom if ever pause to think of its interesting
history. How little do we think how this present system of measuring time
came into general acceptance—these years, t hese mon ths , days and weeks.
The word "calendar " comes from the Roman "Kalends," which was the
first day of the month.
The month came to be used as a unit of time when a«cient farmers
noticed that the moon made twelve revolutions in one year. This year was
the length of time the earth required to revolve around the sun.
It was found that the moon took 29 xh days for one revolutions. The
Babylonians, putting twelve of these 29-day months together, thereby
established a 354 day year. With such a year their festivities occurred at odd
season s, and consequen tly a month was added from time to time.
Egyptians came pearer to the length of a solar year by making a month
thirty days in length. To this 360 day year were added five holidays, set
aside for the worship of five Egyptian gods. Thus the year became 365 days
in length. The Egyptian calendar lagged behind the sun and behind the
yearly floods of the Nile Kiver. But the Egyptians who had an accurate
knowledge of the correct length for a year are believed to have adjuste d
their calendar accordingly.
The Mayan civilization in Mexico and Guatemala created a year with
eighteen groups of twenty days each and added five nameless days in order
to obtain a 365 day year. A twenty-ton stone calendar built by the Mayans
may be found at Mexico City's National Museum. This calendar shows that
the Mayans had considerable knowledge of astronomy.
The Julian Calendar was created by an Egyptian at the order of Julius
Caesar. Prior to this calendar an inadequate system was used, whereby a
week or a festival day were added here and there to keep the calendar in
harmony with the seasons. The pontiffs were soon accused of trying to
please their friends rather than the sun by special arrangements of the
calendar. Consequently a new 365 day calendar was created.
Af ter Caesar 's assassination , Augustus named the eigh th month for himself. July was named for Julius Caesar; March was named after the god
Mars ; May was named for the goddess Maia, and June for Juno. The months
September, October , November and December were named from the Latin
words "seven , eight, nine, ten."
This, Julian calendar was used for 1600 years, when it was found to be
ten days behind the solar year. In 1582 the calendar was again adjuste d .

Oh what are your dreams, my com-

Christopher Morley's "Kitty Foyle"
is a fictitious auto-biography of a
twenty-eight year old Scotch-Irish
girl , daughter of a cussing and rheumatic former cricket player. The
settings are in Philadelphia , in Manitou, Illinois, and in New York. Kitty 's story starts in her tenth year,
during the time of the World War.
Her brother Ed. is a soldier in France,
brother Denny lives away, and Mac
helps with the income at home. Motherless Kitty aids Myrtle, the colored
housekeeper, with the dishes, the
clothes washing, and the errands to
the grocery store, besides trying to
keep Tom Foyle, her father, in some
sort of homely comfort. In Philadelphia , in the company of other children her age, she gains worldly knowledge , learning things in the coarse
manner—those things that older people consider conversational taboo
when young ones are present. Kitty 's
moulding character reveals itself
graphically as she tells of her earliest
childish impressions, of her likes and
dislikes , and of her small every-day
problems. In her thirteenth year she
leaves Philadelphia to visit her aunt
and uncle, in Manitou, Illinois. Here
she starts her high school days. She
finds herself one of the first of that
generation which learned to study in
the parlor while the radio played.
The mere presence of Jesse Cornish,
a high school girl whom, the students
know as a "fas t one ," excites Kitty
strangely. Here also she finds fun
playing with sneezing powder and
stink bombs. Then back to Philadelphia and to Frankford High
School, where she notices some
changes since her absence. College
beckons her to Illinois again , but a
telegram calls her back home after
two days a tt endan ce, her father having fallen gravely ill. In Philadelphia she meets Wyn Strafford , a
Mainline blueblood. The love affair
between Kitty and Wyn is beautiful
while it lasts, but the Mainline traditions conflict with Kitty's lower
social status and the inevitable rift
occurs. Kitty finds some sort of solace in a thriving cosmetic business
in New York. Then she meets a
promising young surgeon, whose conspicuous fault is wearing loud clothes
and mentally weighs the possibility
of marrying him.
The novel is humorous and blunt
at times, but always it is a realistic
delineation of feminine yearning and
expression of life. The sole query
one holds concerning the book, is
how Christopher Morley, a man,
could have given us such a full and
sincere portrait of a woman.

Have you no dreams below?
And what of national cause, comrades?
Have you no nation now?
But harken the voice of the seventh
Beneath that withered bough:
"I was an English professor
Most twenty years ago.
I j oined an army of legions,
To driv e off an insidious foe,
And then one night in my dugout
While translating Chaucer I died,
Shot in the head by a bullet
My manuscript by my aide.
And Re n e, my comrade, soon followed;
He was a barber by trade.
One night as he looked o'er the parapet
Into the black hell beyond,
The whispering death all about him
He fell by a sniper 's song.
And Keven and Mike and Roger
All youthful, too young to know,
So filled with the joy of living
Too quickly their moments go.
One night a cloud of phosgene,
Into their trenches crept,
Perf umed with the scene of geraniums,
They died retching as they slept.
And Ernest was last to join us,
His music had been his life.
All his faithful study at Leipzig,
Was lost in that moment's strife,
And with this he ceased to parley
And all grew ghastly and still,
Where those seven . white crosses are
standing,
On the knoll of St. Malay 's Hill."

CAGERS ARE EAGER HUSKY OFFENSE
siDEiiNE§2r iy FOR TRIUMPH OVER
DROPS SHIPPERS
MILLERSBURG S.T. C.

JIMMY HINDS


(By Tom Nort h)
A good many fans failed to get very
enthusiastic over the prospects of
the current Husky basketball machine
during the early practice sessions. It
is still too early to foresee the true
potential ability of Coach Buchheit's
team, but it has shown more power
on hard wood than it previously did
on paper.
Bloomsburg had a powerful ball
club last year, but Bill Ker chusky at
center is the only hold-over. This is
the year for rebuilding as every man
on the squad returns next fall.
But don't sell this team short. Unless we miss our guess, they will
cause a few headaches for opponents
before March rolls around.
* v

m

Well Deserved
It was a surprise to no one that
Jimmy Hinds was elected honorary
football captain for 1939.
This column recognized the feats
of the stellar center earlier in the
season and feels that further comment on Jim's colorf ul career would
be redundant.
However, the example of neverfailing sportsmanship which Jim
Hinds has established at Bloomsburg is worthy of much attention.
From a serious spinal injury he
worked his way to the top of the
ranks where he was second to none.
He was a standout in every game on
a losing ball club.
Becoming captain is an honor
well deserved by a fine athlete.
* * *
Odds and Ends
The Hazleton Standard Sentinel
recently ran an article on the Shamokin Y. M. C. A. team and devoted
much space in praise of the fine play
of Ed Balehunas, guard on last year's
Husky "five. " The Sentinel .praised
Eddie 's offensive ability and described him as one of the highest
scorers of the '38-'39 Bloomsbu rg
team . . . Somebody must have been
surprised when they tried to "bottle
him up" for the rugged guard seldom
shoots. He stands back and sets up
plays while on attack and operates
like a stone wall on the defense.
Coach Buchheit sadly misses Balehunas this winter, but Ed has signified his intentions of returning to
school next fall . . . "Slim" Herr, who
has always had the habit of compiling
high scores, did more than score 20
points against Lock Haven. He did it
against Capt. Earl Young, an AUAmerican Y. M. C. A. guard . . .
Against Shippensburg he collected 20
more tallies. This time his excuse was
that his brother "Tip " Herr, six-foot
four inch pro center from Lewistown,
was a spectator . . . Theron Bard o is
agai n having trouble with his feet.
Last year while playing for Berwick
High he was partly responsible for
the P. I. A. A. brawl because of a
serious foot condition . . . Now he has

Tonight the Huskies face Millersville, state champs, in what should
be the .most important home game
of the season. Hundreds of local fans
are expected to jam the gym to see
the high scoring Huskies attempt to
stop the giant Millers in their drive
for a consecutive championship.
The Lancaster County team will be
especially anxious for a victory tonight for this game will draw the
curtains on the career of their ace
guard , Shirk, who will receive his
degree tomorrow.
Coach Puccillo lost but one regular last year, Capt. Pete Edminston
of Altoona , a forward, but has shifted Reifsnyder a sophomore to fill
the vacancy. Thus far Reifsnyder has
done a great job at that position and
will bear watching tonight. The
other forward post will be manned
by Rutherford, another sharp shooter who compiled 29 points in two
games against the Huskies last year.
But the Millers ace in-the-hole on
whom they shall bank heavily in
their clash with the Huskies will be
the sensational, six foot four inch
cen t er , George Eheman.
Eheman , who is considered one of
the best college centers in the East,
scored 33 points last season on the
Husky "f ive ," getting 12 points at
Lancaster and 21 here.
But opposing Eheman tonight for
Bloomsburg will be Bill Kerchusky,
v/ho has a remarkable defensive
record (excluding the Mansfield
game) , limiting his opponents to six
points in three contests.
The varsity game will start
promptly at 8:15 o'clock and the preliminary , which will send the Husky
Cubs against McCann Business School
of Mahanoy City, will get under way
at 7:00 o'clock.

commanding lead in the opening
minutes of play the Huskies were
never threatened and coasted to their
third straight victory.
"Slim " Herr 's brilliant long range
shooting put the home team out in
front 8 to 0 during the first four
minutes of play. However, a Shippensburg counter attack led by Beible
soon cut down the Husky lead to two
points at the end of the first period.
This was the only time during the
game when the score was at all close.
The second period found Herr
continuing to whip the cords from all
over the floor and with able assistance from Bill Kerchusky extended
the score to 28-16 at half time. The
lenky forward scored on an even
basis with the Shippensburg team
throughout the first half.
Immediately following intermission,
the Huskies again opened up with a
devastating barrage of field goals as

With the score standing at 40-18,
Coach Eddie Gulian sent a new team
into action and the home team
immediately retaliated with constant
substitutions. The new Red Raider
team appealed stronger than the
starting combination and played
on even terms with the Huskies until
shortly after the start of the final
period when Coach Buchheit again
called on his starting "five."
Bill Kerchusky, a defensive standout, made the outstanding play of
the evening during the final minutes
of play. He scored on a long pass
from Frank Valente while traveling
at full speed , yet facing mid-court,
just under the basket.
The mainstay of the Cumberland
Valley team was Beible, a v et eran
guard who led his team-mates with
12 points. "Slim " Herr was high
scorer for the Huskies with a total
of 20 markers and was followed by
Bill Kerchusky with 12.

1939 CAPTAIN

JIMMY HINDS IS ELECTED
1939 HONORARY CAPTAIN
Jim Hinds has been elected
honorary captain of the 1939 football
team by the fourteen football lettermen. Under the system of Coach
Tate , a captain was chosen for each
game of the season and the completion of the regular schedule.
Hinds first played football at
Bloomsburg High School where he
received much recognition for his
fine playing at center.
During his first year at B. S. T. C.
Jim received a serious spinal inj ury
and wore a cast on his neck for several months. He took a rest the following season and many thought that
the diminutive center 's career was
fi nished. But in 1938 Hinds came
back again and won his starting post
in the middle of the line.
The 160 pound line backer was a
standout on the defense during the
past season.
The lettermen for the past season
were: Herbert, Menarick, Welliver,
Hinds , Swamin, Hausknecht, Koniecko , Donachy, Lehman, Dormer,
Rozyckie, Jenkins, Kerchusky, Troutman , Kirk . Miles Smith was student
senior manager.
Of this group, Hinds, Welliver,
Hausknecht, Koniecko and Kirk are
Seniors.

MOUNTAINEERS ARE
DEFEATED, 50-32

(By Tom North)
The Husky basketball team opened
its bid for Teachers College honors
with a 39-35 win over a good Lock
Haven team.
Displaying a fine passing attack,
the Huskies jumped into an early
lead and maintained it throughout
the evening. It was only during the
third period that the Bald Eagles
seriously threatened to go into the
lead although it was anybody 's ball
game up until the final whistle.
"Slim" Herr and Bill Kerchusky
bore the burden of the Husky scoring as they compiled 35 points between them. Herr racked up 20 talli es, while Bill registered six field
goals and three fouls for a total of 15
nolnts.

Continuing to maintain a point a
minute average, the Huskies administered a 50-32 defeat to Mansfield
on the Mountaineer's own floor Tuesday night. So far the B. S. T. C.
Cagers have had four successive
wins, three of them in Teachers College competition. This Friday night

foreign boards, the Huskies displayed
their best balanced attack thus far
and had the game well under control and held the lead much of the
wav.
*
At one point in the third period,
the valiant Mountaineers pulled up to
a 26-24 score, but their attack bogged
down and they were unable to get
into the pace setting position.
The Huskies gave a fine exhibition
of defensive work, holding Mansfield
to a mere eight points in the two
concluding periods. Meanwhile their
offense continued to click and they
built up a comfortable margin. Although they tightened their defense ,
the Bloom courtmen played a clean
defensive game, committing only ten
fculs. Mansfield collected on eight of
them , but handed the Huskies ten
points on fouls as Bloom cashed in
on ten out of twenty-one.
Bloomsburg surprised with a new
scoring threat, Eddie Walinchus,
Freshman forward, who collected
fourteen points. Herr, rangy forward
from Shamokin, led the scoring with
eighteen points; "Bill" Kerchusky
netted fifteen to follow closely behind
him.

The game was played on the new
Mansfield gymnasium, but only a
fair sized crowd saw the Huskies
establish themselves more firmly as
one of the leading contenders for the
mythical state crown. The game left
the Huskies with a clean slate for the
Millersville game Friday night, and
if they get past the defending champs
they will be well on the road to a
championship season. Five Freshmen saw service, and asserted themselves as splendid "potentials" for
the next few seasons.
Bloom outscored Mansfield from
all sides of the game, netting forty
points from the field and ten from
the foul line; Mansfield scored but
twenty-four points on field goals and
eight on fouls.

you are lucky you may even be invited to join ,
One particular Sunday afternoon a
group of students sitting in a corner
of the lobby were engaged in a rousing game of ghost and incidently
creating quite a bit of noise. Dean
Andruss suddenly strode into the lobby and asked why that group was so
noisy. He was surprised to find that
they were only "ghosts," and after
the game had been explained to him
he decided to haunt a little himself.
To make a long story short, the students "ganged up on him " and he
wound up as the ghost. He was
promptly given the oath "Do you
solemnly swear to be a ghost, a good
ghost, and nothing but a ghost, so
help you ghost?"
"I do," replied Dean Andruss.
