Sports New Duds

The band this year is better than
ever. Forty-four students are enrolled and they make a striking picture
as they march down the field in their
new uniforms .
These new uniforms are of maroon
whipcord material with gold trimmings. The maj orettes uniforms are
also of a maroon whipcord bodice and
a white whipcord skirt. The Press
has commented quite favorably on
the appearance of our band as it
marches. It is said to make the best
appearance of any State Teachers
College band .
The first appearance of the Band
this year was at the MansfieldBloomsburg game in Kingston . They
also played at the Lock Haven game,
at the pep meeting in the Centennial
Gym , and at the Homecoming Day
Broadcast in Carver Hall Auditorium
on Thursday. They then played at the
Homecoming Assembly S a t u r d ay
morning and at the football game
between Shippensburg and Bloomsburg last Saturday afternoon . They
marched in the Hallowe'en Parade
downtown on Monday night . On November 1, the band , twirlers, and
cheerleaders will accompany the
team to Kutztown State Teachers
College. . And on November 8, they
will play at the East StroudsburgBlobmsburg game which will conclude
the activities of the marching band.
On November 10, the Concert Band
will form at which time it is desired
that any students who wish to play
in the Concert Band will come out
for practice. It is particularly desirous that more clarinet players make
an appearance.
At Homecoming the Shippensburg '
band members will be the guests of
our band in the dining hall for luncheon and dinner . This is in return of

Chances f or Immediate War Are Slim
The splitting of the world into two distinct spheres of political
and economic influence, which is now in progress, does not necessarily mean immediate war. As a matter of fact, this condition does
not even demand war within a decade. *Why not? Militarists refer
us to the balance of power—the theory that two nations with equal
ability to wage war will not enter a military conflict because neither
can achieve a clean-cut victory. Despite political tension, this is the
case of the United States and Russia.
Neither of these nations possesses an offensive superiority capable of penetrating the geographic and military defenses of the other.
Therefore, war will be delayed until weapons are invented which
will guarantee complete victory. Scientists of both nations are consequently working at break-neck speed to win the race of warfare
development.
At this point, perhaps it would be well to review the potentialities
of these two maj or powers. Russia boasts an army of greater manpower, however her navy is insufficient to dominate the oceans which
separate her from the United States. Russian air power is also too
weak to penetrate U. S. defenses. On the other hand, the United
States commands the seas, but at present, its army is greatly reduced
from that of World War II days. Although the United States possesses
the atomic bomb, no means of getting through Russian defenses have
yet been devised.
, ,
,
Thus, unless some premature stimulus comes into being beforehand, the next world conflict must wait for scientific development to
;
break the prevailing deadlock.

Kutztown Golden Avalanche Fresh from
33*0 Win Over Trenton Teachers
As a result of a one sided win over
Trenton Teachers l a s t Saturday,
Kutztown's Golden Avalanche remained a threat to the Husky eleven,
in quest of their fourth conference
win today at the Berks county school.
The charges of Coach Walter P.
Risley, who were Homecoming Day
victims of the Huskies last year by
a 19-0 score, will be out to avenge
that stinging loss today. In the , victory at Trenton , a deadly passing attack, with Lawrence Motkowski doing most of the pitching, proved the
death knell to the New Jersey lads.
Ira Fake and Alph Novick did most
of the catching, and they will be a
threat to the Huskies this afternoon.
The Redman crew, remembering the
Shippensburg aerial display, will be
ready to meet the Kutztovvn attack.
Last year the avalanche reportedly
had an airlane offensive cooked up
for the Huskies with Doug Batdorf
doing the heaving, but it did not materialize.
Although Kutztown has failed to
gain a conference win in three tests,
they have a- veteran eleven from last
year's squad , which upset a strong
Millersville team in the last game of
the season , Lock Haven swamped
the Golden Avalanche, 48-6; Shippensburg turned the trick, 28-6, and
Mansfield was victorious, 40-6. In the
Shippensburg game, halfback Leroy
Heckman, of Hamburg, ran a kickoff back 80 yards for a touchdown.
«.. The Huskies will be all out for this
"one, not taking anything for granted,
regardless of the fact that Kutztown
has not shown much in conference
battles to date . They are pointing
to the Trenton clash in which five
touchdowns were recorded. By winning this game, the Redman crew can
improve their y standing in the conference and at the same time be certain of finishing the season not lower
than the .500 mark,
A chartered bus is to accompany
the team , and Husky fandom is to be
well represented,

Shut out by Slippery Rock the previous Saturday and kept from paydirt
by the Huskies during the first quarter, Shippensburg State Teachers
College cut loose with a~ three touchdown assault to beat the Huskies, 1912, before a Homecoming Day crowd
of 3,000 at Athletic Park last Saturday.
The Red Raiders, who are loaded
with f ootball talent fr om all over the
commonwealth, concentrated their offense for the afternoon into fifteen
minutes of a touchdown display which
will be remembered for years to
come.
They made 8 of their 11 first '
downs, 54 of the 102 yards rushing,
and 151 of the 172 yards passing in
that fatal second period. All three
scores came as a result of passing
with Ben. Russ, former Harrisburg
Catholic High star, somewhat duplicating Matt Maley's feat against
Lock Haven .
During the first fifteen minutes of
play, the Huskies looked like the

The clever Lincoln University soccer team will visit Mt . Olympus this
afternoon in the town 's only sports
attraction of the day . Kick-off time
is slated for 2:30 P.M.
In a previous engagement two
weeks ago at Oxford, the Huskies
came through with* a thrilling 2-0
vi ct ory, but only after playing a fast
brand of ball the entire distance.
Lin coln , which has on its squad
many African players from Nigeria,
boasts a tricky, ball-handling array
of stars led by the center halfback ,
Naochiri, who was in on the majority
of the plays in the first meeting between the two schools.
Huskies Ready
Indications are that the Huskiet
will be at full strength for the clash,
although there remained some doubt
as to whether or not Owen Diehl, big
center forward, would be available
for duty. Diehl has missed the last
three games due to a knee injury.
Led by fullback Johnny Magill and
goalie Leroy Henry, the Maroon and
Gold boast of a strong "last-ditch"
defense, which has kept the enemy
from scoring during the last ten quarters.
Halfbacks Glenn Phillips, Pat Rooney, and Claire Mensinger have been
playing bang-up ball, and the line
play has been nothing short of sensational. A last minute switch may send
Phillips in at inside right with Doyle
Johnson taking left halfback.
The Huskies have a record of three
wins, two ties, and one loss and are
anxious to improve that with a victory today and at the same time improve their EIL rating.
With the Maroon and Gold playing
such a high brand of ball and due to
the fact that Lincoln is a drawing
card, a large crowd is expected to b«
on hand today for the clash.

Booters Win Over
Elizabethtown 3-0
A powerful Husky soccer team continued its surge toward national rec- 1
ognition by defeating Elizabethtown
College, 3-0, on Mt. Olympus last Saturday in the morning feature of
Homecoming Day. The tussle was
witnessed by the largest crowd ever
to see a soccer game on the hill, and
the grads who came back to get a
glimpse of the Maroon and Gold
booters, who are improving with each
game, liked wha^ they saw.
Elizabethtown puzzled the Huskies
no little in the first period with a
queer type of defense , most of the
men remaining within the penalty
area when the Maroon and Gold had
the ball. Shot after shot was pushed
aside by Frankie Keath , the visitors'
goalie.

Near the end of the first period, a
high bounding kick came in toward
the Elizabethtown goal . Neil Dent
beat Keath to the ball and headed the
ov a l into the net . The r em a ind er of
the first half saw. the Wishermen
bombard the invader's' goal but to no

Third Period
Midway in the third period , the
Huskies put the game on ice. On a
corner kick by Ludwig, th e ball was
headed through on a beautiful play
by Glenn Phillips, the "flying dutchman " from Dalmatia .
With the score 2-0, Coach Wisher
made some changes in the line-up, but
the Huskies scored again . Royal Conrad lined a boot toward the goal. It
glanced off Luther Butt, of the Huskies, and an Elizabethtown defender to
go between the crossbars , making the
score 3-0.
Once again the Husky defense
turned in a neat j ob. Led by Johnny
Magill , who is playing his fourth year
at fullback , and Leroy Henry, the
cat-like goalie, the Maroon and Gold
lads have kept the opposition from
scoring during the last ten quarters.

Homecoming Day was a success from an athletic standpoint , although
the Husky eleven lost out to Shippensburg in a thriller, 19-12. The grads
were well pleased with the display of the gridiron sport the Huskies are
producing this year , and they were also delighted that the Maroon and Gold
soccer team came through with a victory over Elizabethtown College.
Much discussion about the calibre of teachers college football has
caused the big "time sports jwriters to sit up and take notice this fall.
According to the observations we have been able to make and from
reports gathered through other methods, the majority of the teachers
colleges rank with many of the best small colleges. This writer saw the
Bucknell-Delaware game a few weeks ago, and on that particular afternoon it wouldn't have been too difficult for the Huskies or any of the
better teams in the conference to take either school into camp.
The West Chester paper not long ago came out with an article to the
effect that the Philadelphia papers had vbeen snubbing the Rams—although
the Killinger crew boasted of an undefeated record and had beaten several
of the colleges in the suburban area .- West Chester migh t have something
there, but the Rams over a period of years have received more publicity than
all of the other teacher colleges combined.
One method has helped the situation considerably. Each week Associated Press releases an article discussing the week's results and carrying official standings of the teachers college conference race. This is
promoting interest among fandom and is binding the conference into a
stronger union.One noticeable weakness of the conference still remains, but it will
probably be corrected in a year or* two. West Chester, East Stroudsburg,
and Slippery Rock each play but threg games within the conference—not
enough to warrant any title which they might receive. Due to the fact that
football schedules are made years in advance, these schools were powerless
to book more conference tiffs .this year . However, they are going to be
required to do so in the near future.
The Husky team, despite its second defeat of the year, looked good
last Saturday. Line play was outstanding with the Red Raiders being
held to a total of 63 net yards on the ground. Pass defense seemed to
be the weakest point , and the Maroon and Gold will have to brush up
in that department, especially against East Stroudsburg. Another department which will stand quite a bit of improvement is the extra point
attempt. The Maroon and Gold have successfully converted but three
of fourteen possible extra points this year. The Mansfield game was the .
difference between a tie and a defeat.
Coach Peter Wisher's Husky booters are blossoming into something of
which the school can be proud. Defeated but once in six games, and that a
close 2-1 loss, the Maroon and Gold eleven will attempt to make it four in
a row today . The victory over Elizabethtown College was sweet revenge,
for j ust five years previously the visitors spoiled Homecoming Day with a
2-1 overtime victory. The 3-0 win on Saturday saw the down staters no
match for the Huskies, who are improving with each appearance.
Not wishing to point ahead too far, the Maroon and Gold booters,
however, are looking- forward to their visit at East Stroudsburg,- Sat.
Nov . 8. Because this is the Huskies' first year as a member of the
Eastern Intercollegiate League, it will be hard to obtain a very high
rating, but by winning over the Big Red the feat could be accomplished,
for the Pocono school ranks high in the EXL standings. Right now, however , the Huskies have enough to worry about with Lincoln University
this afternoon.
Spirit is a dominating factor in the success or f ailure of any athletic
team . Anyone connected with the Wisher squad knows that they rank
second to none when it comes to team spirit. Time after time key men have
been on the inj ured list, yet the squad continued to play a high brand of
soccer. Substitutes filled the open spots most capably, and the team continued to win . With such enthusiasm present, it's hard to keep such an
aggregation down .
According to official figures released early this week, West Chester
is at the top of the heap in the mass-standings of all colleges and universities in the commonwealth. The Rams have a composite record of six
wins without a defeat, Slippery Rock is in fourth place with four victories and a tie, that deadlock resulting- last Saturday when supposedly
weak Fairmont, W , Va. held the Rockets to a scoreless stalemate. That
game prevented the Rockets f rom being ono of the nation's 82 undefeated, untied football elevens.
Tied for seventh with Muhlenberg is Shippensburg, with four wins and
a single loss. Mansfield ranks tenth with three wins, one tie, and one defeat.
The Huskies are tie for fourteenth with four other schools—Lehigh , Thiel,
Lafayette, and Temple . Lock Haven is tied with Villanova for nineteenth
position, each with three wins, two losses, and a tie. East Stroudsburg and
Lincoln are in the number 31 position, Edinboro and Clarion are 37th, and
^"Kutztown
is 43rd .
Associated Press is already picking; out some of the teachers college
stars, having1 mentioned several In the weekly release, Matt Maley was
on© of those listed. Others included Carlozo, West Chester; Toufel, Lock
Haven ; Carlson, Indiana; Ben Russ, Shipp ensb urg, It is certain that the
conference will be represented this year in the all-state selections, and
It won't bo surprising1 If a few first team spots go to the teachers colleges.
*
Turning to other fields for a moment, Columbia 's defeat of Army 's
Black Knights last week was described by Coach Earl Blaik as not a piece
of luck. He claimed that Gene Rossides was one of the best passers he ever
saw and that end Bill Swiacki ranked on his list as the best. Coach Lou
Little has again come up with an outstanding passing star in Rossides.-First
it was Sid Luckman , then Paul Governali, now Rossides. He didn't play
against Yale and Penn, both games resulting in losses for the Lions. Blaik
.went on to add that the pressure was now off , and the boys could settle down
to ordinary football.
