Aunt Penel ope
In a recent issue of Maroon anc
Gold the inemoevs of this college
community were given the opportuni ty to seek the wise council of e
ki nd and ' generous woman . Because
of your tremendous response to net
offer of advice we have asked her tc
continue her column in the present
issue.
My Dear Yo u ng People,
It war med my heart to see the
splendid way you reacted to my humble offer of two weeks ago . I was
afraid my suggestion ' might offend
you because youth is often proud and
independent. Then , too , the girls tell
me that the Navy boys are very shy
and reticent about expressing themselves. It is for this reason I was
pleased to receive the following letter.
Dear Aunt Penelope,
I am at present in the Navy program at Bloomsburg and I find my
personality is stifled here. Before entering the Navy I was quite a guy .
My grades were excellent and my
athletic ability was unsurpassable.
The girls loved me, even my teach ers liked to chuck me under the chin .
But , darn it , Aunt Penelope, no one
even winks at me here. Could it be
I am slipping ? Must I turn in my
membership card to "The Royal
Order of the Sacred Wolf? " It' s a
(Censored ) of a note . Can you help
me?
Sincerely,
A Misfit
Dear Misfit ,
Yours is a problem common to
many. I know of only two ways out
for you . Both are difficult but I feel
th at where there is a burning desire
for success, some one gets scorched .
First , you can forget your former
glamor and take a humble role. Be
inconspicious , shun the limeligh t,
cultiva te a mild voice and a soft
tread. Gradu ally people will begin
to find you restful to be with , and
flocks of worthwhile people will surrou nd you.
Then th ere is another way, easier ,
bu t it is the course of the weakmind ed, and that is self-destruction.
In my files I have various means to
this end. They vary from painless to
exquisi te agony. If you will send me
the box top with contents intact from
Sch raffts "D ampler " I will send y ou
in plain wrapper , my booklet on
"How to Commit Suicide " or "Life
Sti nks."
Lovingly,
Aunt Penelope.

Our Own Doc Nelson
Dr. E. H . Nelson , the Director of
Heal th Education , lias not only left
his initials imprinted in college classrooms, but Ins impression remains on
the diamond and the gridiron as well.
Dr . Nelson j ourneyed to Ann Arbor after graduatin g from Bloomsburg Normal in 1911 and received
his Bachelor of Arts degree from the
University of Michigan; taught a few
years in a Detroit High School before attending Harvard University
for the Ed . M. and New York University for his Ph. D. degree .
During his college days, way back
when the local institution played
doubleheaders on Memorial Day, he
played the center position on the
football eleven and caught for the
baseball team . He laughingly recalls the day the pitcher was so disgusted with the umpire's decisions
that he wound up and threw the ball
over the grandstand and into Montour County .
Dr. Nelson has been coaching the
Huskies ' baseball team for many
years and during this span he has
seen members of his teams develop
into major league material. The alumni and students recall the game
with the University of Pennsylvania
in which Danny Litwhiler socked a
tremendous homer which won the
game for B. S. T. C. This started
Danny on his way to the St. Louis
Cardinals by way of Wilkes-Barre
Barons and Philadelphia Phillies .
Bcrnie Cobb , another prodigy , was
at home on first base and could be
depended upon to deliver the base
knocks when they were needed .
Bcrnie was destined for the maj ors
but was held back by injuries following several successful seasons with
Toronto and Baltimore .
The Director of Health Education
doesn 't guarantee th at he can make
a man of you in seven days, nor does
lie promise that you will land a contract with the Cardinals; but if you
i.re looking for exercise , then Di 1 . E.
H. Nelson is your man .

VARSITY ME ETS SUSQUEHA NNA
TOMORROW IN A RETURN GAME
Crusaders Read y to Send the Husk ies to Showers ; Army Outfit vto be
Here Tuesday ; Penn State Games Are Slated For February ;
Maroon and Gold Ha ve Three Victories
The college chatter is all about the. neat but not gaudy, successes o[
the basketball team. "Doc " Nelson was- heard to remark with a reminiscent
glint in his eye, "Looks like some of the old time potency ." Chief Jack Llewellyn was inclined to be noncommittal , but did admit that the team was
progressing rather nicely, though practice time is scarce .
The three encounters to date have all ended with the Maroon and Gold
colors flying vict oriously from the mainmast .
The Armed Forces Team was politely disarmed on November 23 in th e
opening engagement . In this sj ama it was soon made app arent to the enthusiastic rooters , that the Huskies were of no ordinary caliber . They
lomped through the opposition with apparent ease, 66-25.
The squad marked the close of November by jo urneying to Harrisbur g
and placing the Army Special Service on the lower end of a 43-32 score.
On December 2, the tea m whipped Susquehanna , coached by Alonzo
Staag, Jr., at Selinsgrove. In a rough paid terrible match , the Huskies overpowered the Susquehanna tal l ones by a 43-31 decision. In this game, Slegeski sustained a bad ankle twist , but he .should be ready for the next game.
Bierly also had trouble with his knee , but he is in top shape now .
Team Analyzed
The team is not built around airy one man , but on the teams ' cooperat ion . This is clearly borne out in the high scoring tabulations. In the Harrisburg game three men scored nine points per , and two racked up seven
each . In the Susquehanna game , Bierly and Slegcski botli scored nine
po ints . It must be that the boys believe in that sage saying adorning the
locker room walls: "Good thin g s arc made to be shaved in basketball. Five
scorers are better than one ."
Tomorrow 's Game
The return bout with Susquchanna will be held tomorrow night at
8:00 P. M. in the Centennial Gym. The Huskies previous success does not
tag this as a sure thin g . The Crusaders have j ust started their schedule , so
we held an advanta ge of experience , in the previo us combat. Their sup erior hei ght will cause problems for the homo squad . Ass't . Chief Llewellyn
explained that the Huskies will aller their defense from /.one to man-toman , as the situation demands . This should help tighten the defense which
Susquehanna punctured frequently in a previous meetin g . A prelim game
sporting local color is being arranged between Bloomsburg High , and an
Intra-mural live.

Ray Ashcom , captain and manager of the college swimming team ,
reports that the tankmen are making
definite progress and vvij l match F.
& M. stroke for stroke comes the
clash and splash at Lancaster on December 18.
Apprentic e Seaman Ashcom, who
along wi th his coaching duties is a
diver and a back-strok e artist , is no
different than any other coach as he
too has his trainee troubles . Should
V-5 Graff be transferred to another
instilutio n before the F. & M. meet,
as is feared by the coach , the tankmen will lose a fine breaststroke
aqua lie performer .
The coach is still contemplating on
j whom to enter in what positions. He
has possibilities in Williams for the
220 and 440; Schildmacher in the free
style, and Vaughn in a diving role.
Ray adds that the meet between
the V-5's and the V-12's which the
V-5's won to the tune of 35-20, gave
; the fellows much needed experience,
j so another rendezvous has been arj ranged for Saturday afternoon ( tomoi-vow) at 2 P. M . The trainees are ,
fighting for positions on the varsity ,
so if you 're looking for a thrilling
afternoon come on up to the Centennial Gymnasium and watch the
boys show their wares.

Oh yes, he handles the wrestling
team , not the bullfi ghts.
Wanted: A head of first-cl ass hair ,

Chiefy h as the spirit , but not the
hair.
Who said the swimming team was
a bunch of dips?
"Sleepy " Lehunc was seen picking one foot up and rapidly placing
it before the other foot. This was
