Edit orially
Homecoming Day this year has a
greater significance than ever before.
It is a celebration that marks both
the arrival of vetera ns and alumni
and the departure of the Navy from
the College comm unity .
College life once more seems to be
slowly regaining its pre-war status ,
and the presence of men in civilian
clothes has become more noticeable
Evevy member of the campus has
seen the "blues " and "whites" of the
Na vy men so long and so often that
their absence will create a different
atmosphere than has prevailed for
several years.
Because they are so numerous and
so varied , it' s rather difficul t to list
all the contribu tions the V-12 men
have made to B. S. T. C. With out a
doub t, their largest contribution lies
in the field of sports. W'.th the assista nce of able coaches and a few
civilian men , the Navy-m anned baske tball , baseball ami fooVball teams
soared to top-ranking positions , and
th us gave the college outstanding
publicity and boosted the school spirit.
Not to bo neglected is the part the
V-12's played in reestablishing and
maintainin g the social Me of the
school.

At the present time, it is usually quite disconcerting to hear a group of
seniors talking together. They are generally talking about their children
and recounting the clever and not-so-clever things the miniature quiz kids
have said or done. They are not, however, discussing their own precocious
offspri ngs as one might at first believe, but instead , "their " p upils.
For the great event to which seniors look forward with such mixed feelings has come—the time when they take the big trip around to the other side
of the desk and become the teacher instead of the pupil. By this time, almost all of the student teachers have taught their first lesson.
The elementary student teachers under Miss Hazen and her staff of
training teachers at live Benjamin Franklin Training School, and the secGndary studen t teachers under Mr. Baylor and his corps of cooperating
teachers in Bloomsburg, Berwick and Danville High Schools are learning to
put theory into practice. Most of them say that it is a grand experience, but
that it keeps them well occupied. Their present assignments will remain the
same until the next semester.

Huskies Defeat East
Stroudsburg, 13 to 0

Football Team's '
1945 Debut

Kishbaugh Sprin ts 90 Yards For a
Touchdown on Opening: Kickoff
October 6

Huskies Lose 7-6 to the Lock Haven
State Teachers College Last
Saturday

The East Stroudsburg State Teachers College gridders inaugurated their
1945 football season on October 6, by
bowing before the Bloomsburg V-12
eleven, 13 to 0. A fe w brave spectators witnessed the game through a
steady drizzle. The initial score in
the game came in the firs t thir ty seconds when the East Stroudsburg
kickoff was taken by Kishbaugh on
the ten yard line who raced 90 yards
to score , crossing the goal line unmolested. Simon then crashed the center of the line to make the extra
point good. After a see-saw affair ,
the first quarter ended with the East
Stroudsburg team holding possession
of the ball.
After a few ¦exchanges of punts,
the Strouds had their backs to the
wall because they were deep in their
own territory. After successfully running a few plays, Bloom advanced
{lie ball, thus giving the Huskies po§^
session in East Stroudsburg 's 30 yard
marker. This was the sot-up for the
second score because Zagoudis then
let loose with an aerial that Ackerman snatched out of the sky to score
standing up. The placement for the
extra point failed, and the Reds
trailed the Huskies 13 to 0.
Eloomsburg 's kickoff after the
score was returned by Mink to his
own 35 yard line. A scries of running plays by Stitser and Virgilio
failed to materialize, and East
Stroudsburg was forced to kick on
downs. Runs by Lickwood, Bloomsburg's substitute halfback , failed to
penetrate the line of scrimmage; so
Bloomsburg was forced to kick . The
East Stroudsburg charges then displayed their power when they pushed
the V-12 gridders to their own 5 yard
line. The best defensive play of the
game was shown at this point with
the Husky line holding, sparked by
co-captain Bob Cloutman who sailed
through to spill a reverse play on the
last down for a considerable loss. The
half ended with Bloom in possession
of the ball and leading 13-0.
The third quarter proved to be a
stalemate with neither team being
able to advance the ball enough to
offer a serious threat. The period became a punting dual between Mink
of East Stroudsburg and Strong of
Bloomsburg with boys getting off
some fine kicks. The period ended
with Bloomsburg holding possession,
A pass from Simon to Devine started the last quartw and it was good
enough for a firsi; down on the East
Stroudsbui 'fl 30 yard line. Bloomsbuvg lost the ball on a fumble the
next play and Jones recovered for
East Stroudsburg. This piny started
the East Stroudsburg's charges rolling once more as Jackabella , n hard
charging back who went into the
game as a substitute, began an almost
single handed march from his own
30 to Bloomsburg 's 7 yard line. Here,
however, the Bloomsburg line proved
impregnable, and East Stroudsburg
lost the ball on downs as the flnnl
whistle blew. Carazo , Lapchak , Mntalavngo and Stetser all played good
ball for the Big Reds, as did Devine ,
Kishbaugh , Strong and Allenby for
the Huskies , Although Enst Stroudsburg lost the game, they piled up 12
first downs against 5 Cov the Huskies,

Bloomsburg State Teachers College
football team, making its 1945 debut
at Lock Haven on Saturday after only
eight drills, put up a real battle before being stopped by the Bald Eagles
7 to 6 in a good game. It was the
second contest for Lock Haven who
opened a week earlier against Scranton. Bloomsburg 's team was wavered
entirely by Navy Trainees.
The Bald Eagles scored in the first
period on a drive that was on the
ground most of the way, but featured
a pass which ate up considerable
yardage and gave them a first down
on the Huskies' twenty. Later Tevfel ,
Bald Eagles ' f ull back, went over for
1he touchdown , and Pinberg cracked
the line for what appeared to* be the
winning point.
The Huskies drove back in the second period , starting in mid-field and
cashing in on a twenty-yard pass
play. Johnny Zagoudis, a reserv.3
back, tossed the pass to Jim Strong,
lef t end. The play started as a reverse. Strong caught the ball in the
end zone. Cloutman tried to tie the
score with a placement, but the kick
was too low. Bloomsburg had a
splendid chance to p ush over a winning score late in that period when
Simons intercepted a Lock Haven
pass in his own forty and raced to
Lock Hav en 's ten.
Neither club could get a sustained
drive going in the second half. Lock
Haven had a slight advantage on the

It's a Fact

Some girls v/ill scream murder at
the sight of a mouse—and go right

20 Years From Now
,
Many many years ago,
There lived a guy named G. I. Joe,
Whose life and spirit were bravely
hurled
To free an Axis-plundered world.
Now from the ashes Joe did take,
The best that was left in the wake.
With all his power he tried to make
A free world for his children 's sake ,
And in his haste to make men free,
He failed to see
Selfish people like you and me,
Who held the key to World WaiThree.
—John R. Stewart ,
—The Campus Reflector.
