assembly program , February 26, in
the Auditoriusn as George J. Keller,
art instructor of the College, presented colored motion pictures -of his
hobby as a wild animal trainer . Mr.
Keller , whose wild animal act has
been a featured attraction in numberous fairs, indoor arenas and
the Canadian Garden Brothers Circus, related interesting and varied
experiences he had while touring
Canada and the United States.
Following a short description of
his work with wild animals, Mr. Keller showed films taken during his
most recent trip with his "Jungle
Killers," the featured act with the
Garden Brothers Circus, sponsored
by the Canadian Government. During
t h e presentation , he gave a vivid
and colorful narration of the persons
and events pictured in the film.

College Tower Clock
Gets "The New Look"
The large clock in the tower of
Carver Hali has been ticking away
for more than a half century with
little or ho thought as to what makes
it go or strike each hour and half
hour. Like the old tower clock, few
persons have been aware that the
driving power for the clock movement has been the presence of a
small cable upon which is suspended
a five-hundred pound iron weight,
while the striking device is emerged
by another cable of weights weigh ing a like amount.
The cable are wound on separate
drums, and the weights travel vertically a distance of approximately
15 feet . Oddly enough in this mechanical age, the winding has been done
by hand , by means of a large crank,
three times a week.
All this now has been changed! Under a program of rebuilding the interior stairs at Carver /Hall, a rewiring contract is also in progress which
has resulted in improvements to the
old tower clock. Foley and Son, Har¦risburg . general electrical contractors, engaged Tower Clock Service
Company, Springfield , Ohio, to handle
the improvements.
The work , which has boon in progress for the past several days , has
now been completed. Passersby, who
have noted that the clock has not
been running or striking as usual,
will be pleased to learn that Carver
Hall Tower Clock has finally gotten
the "newlook." College' officials are
also inclined to feel a bit more on
the "sato side" with the removal of
a half ton of weights from above
their heads.

Guidance Is Vital
In Education

February, 27, Reynold Paganeli
guidance counsellor of Wilkes Barre
. Schools, told the values of child
i guidance in the field of education.
Mr. Paganelli reviewed the fundamentals of an efficient guidance program emph asizing clearly the need
for this type of activity. .
Mr . Paganeli was pleased with the
efforts of the F.T.A. Chapter at
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
for making plans to conduct a "Career Day", emphasizing the need of
I having young people know that others are interested in their welfare.
Paganelli expressed encouragement
in this endeavor.
i
i The speaker expressed his theory
about how a guidance program could
be evaluated and related several interesting case studies in which the
need for guidance was clearly evidenced.
Mr . Paganelli graduated from the
Catholic University in Washington,
D.C. He is now attending Columbia
University in N.Y.
The meeting of the F.T.A . was also
highlighted by having a gold seal
placed upon the charter for outstanding work during the year 1947-48. J.

Many times I have walked into the
old gym or one of the student lounges
and felt impelled to shout such a
statement . There they were, dozens

over the fancy furniture. Guess they
kinda figured on gettin ' a free shoe

Never could figure out why some
fellas like to show off and make
fools of themselves. Reckon a big
pair of blue eyes will do it every

That brings us to the frequent
baseball sessions held in the gym
each day between the hours of eight
in the morning and ten at night. At
least a dozen engage in a contest,
the purpose of which is to throw

Needless to say , they invariably miss.

What you save today, you have tomorrow. No matter how little ,
'Americans believe in saving something regularly to protect their futures. Despite record high prices, savings in America today are also
at recor d h ig h levels. Which shows that folksy-over the last halfdozen years'—have been putting a little bit away each week or month
for future use.
The question often comes up— "How can I possibly save anything when my living uses up just about every cent I make?"
You can still save a little bit, brother;' Fifty cents or a dollar
doesn 't look like much all by itself. But , when it 's put away regularly,
week after week , it sure mounts up.
And, think of the protection a person has with "m oney in t h e
bank. " It 's there to meet any emergency—and it helps to buy homes ,
vacations , fishing tackle , automobiles , etc.
So, let 's get in the saving habit. Let 's put something away regularly—no matter how little it may be. That 's the American Way.

We Believe It

The Bloomsburg Players presented
the radio play, "Why I Am a Bachelor", in Carver Hall Auditorium, over station WCNR on February 24, at
4:30 P.M. The cast, under the direction of- Miss Johnston and Horace
Readier, student director, included
Mary Helen Morrow, as Henrietta ,
Louis Pecora , as Algernon, and
James G. Tierney, as the Lecturer.
The play, written by Conrad Seiler,
opens with the Lecturer giving a
lecture on "why I am a bachelor".
To stress his points the Lecturer introduces Algernon and Henrietta to
re-enact four scenes from their own
lives; two during their courtship
adys ,, and two after two years of
marriage.
George Menarick was the student
announcer . Mr . Howard Penstemacher was at the console, playing background music and two selections.

Spring is in the air!! . . . and so

Hats will really be hats this year.
Wide brims covered with miles of
veiling tied under the chin will be
very popular. Of course the small
hat is always good but ¦it will have
a "new twist"! It will be' loaded with

Company for the bonnet will be

PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR

Table service was talked of this
year but this plan was abandoned
because the cafeteria workers are
now serving a hundred ,day men and
approximately four hundred regular
students . Five hundred students is
too large a number to accommodate
at one sitting. Table service next
year may become a reality depending
on the cooperation of the students
who will be willing to work as waiters and waitresses.

John A, Hoch , dean of men , has accepted an invitation to speak at the

These accessories are also helpful
in brightening apparel that was purchased earlier in the season.
Elegance has really created a host
of new-looking accessories . They include new waist pinchers , gloves and
scarf sets, petticoats , and quilted
j ackets.
However, the shawls and bonnets
are the most elaborate of soft wools,
crisp taffeta or expensive furs.

:

"Dangerous Dan " Litwhiler , the former Husky athlete of the middle

thirties, signed his contract early last week and is in the trainin g camp of
th e Boston Br aves. Litwhiler, who was traded by the Cardinals to the

Braves in 1946, hopes to have a banner year. 'He "divided his time with
'Bama" Rowell in left field during the '47 season when Manager Billy Southworth used his strategy7 which brought him pennants in St . Louis .
When Litwhiler was making his tour of the banquet circuit during
the fall of '46, he remarked at the time that the Braves were certain to
be a contender for the National League flag in the next few years. It
would seem, according to the way things are shaping up, that the former

finished a gotfd third last summer and gave the Dodgers and Cards a
merry cha se for a while. In Johnny Sain and Warren Spahn , Southworth has two of the finest pitchers in the senior loop , and with -a few
trades which have been made this winter, the Beantowners look like
the team to beat this year.
In 1935, the Husky baseball team , of which Litwhiler was a prominent
clean-up man, the Maroon and Gold ran rough shod over all opposition , running up twelve wins in a row and taking the State Teachers College title
without opposition. Starting in 1934 , the Huskies enrolled 21 straight diamond wins, including a 6-4 victory over the Hazleton Mountaineers, of the
New York-Pennsylvania League, a Class "A" professional loop, now known
as the Eastern League.
In addition to Litwhiler, members of that championship team included
Charles Blackburn, left field { Frank Rompola, second base; Al Finder,
third base; Woody Litwhiler, Danny's brother, right fiel d and pitcher ;
"Dink" Riley, short stop; Karshner, second base; Washelewski, first
base; Vistoski and Bennet Dry, catchers; and the well known "Whitey "
MoleskL Tip Slavin, and Woody, pitchers.
Probably the best known at the time was Bern? e (Cobb) Kafchinski,
lumbering first sacker, who also took the mound on occasions and patrolled
the outfield. This giant from Scranton , who receives much credit from Danny for his success in batting, was a power hitter , slamming out 22 hits in
48 appearances for a hefty .418 average . He smacked something like 10
home runs during this spree. Cobb, as he was known professionally, went
on to play pro ball, and had it not been for his weak eyes, he undoubtedly

Huskies Defeat
K ings College
u

¦

Charlie Boyer , Elmer Kreiser, and
Eddie Jones sank quick field goals to
put the Huskies ahead , and the Maroon and Gold five went on to defeat
K ing 's College, 53-47, in a well played
tilt last Thursday evening.
Al though never a b l e to catch
Bloomsburg after that sudden scoring outburst , the Monarchs from up
Wilkes-Barre way gave the Wishermen some anxious moments. On
numerous occasions the Brock-coached q uintet came within two points of
the Huskies.
Clover Passing
In Tom McLaughlin , flashy center
who also led the Monarchs in scoring
with 15 point s, King 's showed local
fans one of the best ball handlers
seen in Centennial*Gym this season.
McLaughlin was the key man of a
smooth passing attack that at times
stumped the local cagers .
Mulvy, an excellent long shot,
racked up 14 markers to run second
to McLaughlin in the point-making.
Alex Wawer, high scoring forward ,
was bottled up for three quarters but
sparked the Monarchs ' attack late in
the game.
Boyer Is High
"Chuckin ' Charley " Boyer was definitely "on " as he paced the Maroon
and Gold team with 18 points, showing a percentage of .348 in the field
goal department for the evening.
Bobby Andr ews, held to a single
point for three quarters , shoved
through 10 in the last quarter, eight
of them coming in succession. It was
due to Andrews that the Husky scoring attack did not bog down in that
last period .
Jones and Kreiser both played fine
games in controlling the ball off the
boards, although the hard-fighting
King's team out-j umped the Huskies
in many instances .
The Huskies held a lopsided 16-7
lead at the end of the first period
and were ahead by 27-20 at halftime.
The visitors , fighting with as much
spirit in the third period as the first,
cut the margin to 36-40 after three
quarters .

Husky Jayvees Complete Highly Successf ul Season

IN SPORT S

by Curtis L. Miller

The basketball season is completed
now insofar as" the varsity is concerned , and it is only fitting that we
should pay our tribute to the players
who made the season a highly successful one despite the fact the
Huskies failed to . win th e crown ; or
even" finish as high as some of the
more arden supporters predicted at
the season 's start. We can only hope
now that our track and baseball
teams come through in as fine a style
as did our football and basketball
squads .
The intramural leagues have proven to be quite popular with the students, thus fulfilling: the main obje ctive. The purpose of intramurals at
any school is to furnish the individuals who cannot participate in varsity
athletics with an outlet for physical
activity ; and the large number of
students participating1 in the volley
ball and basketball leagues attest to
the success of the program in our
school. One can't say too much about
the value of such a program.
While we're on the subj ect of basket ball , we might say a few words
about one of our pet mathematical
devices, the POINT SYSTEM, which
is used in a number of football conferences. To our knowledge, it has
never been used in basketball, but in
a setup such as our State Teachers
have, we see no reason why it cannot
be used to great advantage . We are
of the opinion that this system would
be j ust about the fairest method of
gauging the real league champion . It
'wo uld eliminate a team playing only
a few league foes—these often being
the weakest clubs in the circuit—and
coming out on top in the final standings.
Mansfield, which leads the league
from a won and loss viewpoint, would
be on top with a point average of
752.0 which isn 't too gr eat a margin
over our Huskies' G74.4. We haven't
tabulated averages of the other conference teams, but we have reason
to believe that Bloomsburg would
rank much better than our present
seventh place standing. Th e reason
for this, of course, would be duo to
the number of games won by defeated opponents. Tru e, there are man y
fallacies to this system but we are
of the opinion that it is much better
for our conference than the won-loss
percentage idea .
Before getting off the subj ect of
basketball , we would like to name
our nominations for the ten basketball teams in college circles. New
Yrirk University, West Virginia , Kentucky , St . Louis, North Carolina
State, Kansas State, Oklahoma A . &
M., Rhode Island State, Holy Cross
and Columbia make up the select
list, though not necessarily in the
order mentioned. Other teams that
might be mentioned are Bradley,
Western Kentucky State, Tulnno ,
Baylor and Texas .

who were coached by George Paternoster . The game developed into a
closely contested affair, and it wasn't "
until the closing seconds that the
"Fools" were assured of victory. .
J. Czerniakowski, referee, had arough time officiating at this all important game. The two teams were
very spirited and made certain that
the official was on his toes all the
time. (When he wasn't on his head.)
Althou gh t h e 'Fool's' player-coach,
Lydon , was the star of the evening,
he had a very capable competitor in
the person of Zeke Abraham . Zeke
proved that he has all the qualities of
a fine basketball player . His long
shots from center court brought the
crowd to its feet on more than one
occasion .
Both teams wore their recently
purchased uniforms and presented a
striking picture . The official was also
attired in the very latest in regulation P.I.A.A . outfits and looked extremely snappy.
Tlie two teams used the new play
—"basket a la ladder" for the first
time and gave the crowd plenty to
cheer about . Until the present time,
this play was illegal in organized
basketball , and for that matter, it
still is illegal in organized basketball.
However, the basketball played that
