Utah Centennial Chorus To Highlight
Next Thursday's Assembly Program

Group Is Composed of
* 12 Ordained Ministers

•4

A musical treat of outstanding interest is promised Thursday, October
28, when the College plays host to the
nationally - famous Utah Centennial
Chorus. This talented group of young
men, all ordained ministers of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, will present a program in the
Carver Auditorium as a feature of
the weekly assembly program.
The Chorus is on a nation-wide tour
of schools and colleges. The unique
character of the chorus can be seen
in the fact that its members have left
their vocations and their schools to
devote voluntarily two years to the
ministry at their own expense, and to
promulgate Eternal Truth as they
understand it. This group was organized to commemorate the great migration of the Mormon people to Utah
a little more than one hundred years
ago, an d i ts members are anxious t o
familiarize the people of the East
with the history of these early pioneers,

Huskies Down Millersville; Face Powerful Shippensburg Today
?

ISIDELINES
IN SPORTS . . .
by Curt Miller

It was j ust one decade ago that
Husky football had reached the
depths of despair, with the varsity
winning but one game during the
season and that victory coming
against ' Panzer in the last fracas of
the season. An odd feature of that
contest was found in the statistics
Which showed Bloomsburg to be victorious without recording a single
first down. But then , it must be remembered that the Husky football
squad of that year was renowned for
doing the unusual.
Big "Zeke" Mercer of Blooiraburg
who played during- those bleak years
brings out a point in connection with
the morale of any losing team. According- to "Zeke," the fellows who
play today have little to complain of
in regards to bad knocks on the gridiron. He observes that a losing team
takes all the bumps in the business,
but continues playing because its
members love to play, regardless of
ability.
An indication of the vital shortage
of manpower found within our walls
at that time is shown by the fact that
only twenty-seven players made the
trip to Lock Haven to be manhandled
to the tune of a 64-0 score. Contrast
that figure with the number of boys
that travel to away games this year.
The morale of the squad must have
been quite high, though, because they
rebounded from the Lock Haven
massacre to fight a highly touted
Shippensburg eleven on almost even
terms before succumbing by a lone
touchdown. The Homecoming game
with Kutztown was considered a moral victory, too, though the Huskies
lost that counter aso by one touchdown.
An interesting sidelight of the 1937
season is the fact that Coach Austin
Tate fielded a football team composed
of twenty boys who had never worn
football togs before. Two of these
lads were Ray Fritz from Orangeville
and Paul Barrall from Mifflin.
Yet, with such a terrific shortage
of talent , the Huskies managed to
field a junior varsity. True, It didn't
fare too well, but that wasn't the
point. What mattered was that everyone who desired to do so had an opportunity to play football. This year
the varsity Is composed of over fifty
men, but only one Jayvee game has
been played thus far.
The j unior varsity of 1937 came up
with one victory, a 12-6 decision over
Northumberland High School. The
varsity managed to win two games
this year, defeating Millersville in the
opener and edging Stroudsburg in the
fi nale.
Sure, we should try to forget there
ever was a day when Bloomsburg
wasn't a terror in collegiate circle*.
But, it's worth knowing that the
Husky eleven of this day is one to be
proud of and admired, and above all,
supported. The figure read one day
in assembly by President Aj idruss
wasn't too far off the actual number
of students who do attend games, 'Tls
no wonder the moon in the nky remains aloof. He should be brought to
the ground every time one of our
many talented backs scores or one of
the bruising linemen smashes through
to smear the opposing backs.
Ah yes, but It's futile to sermonize,
It all comes to the same end anyway.
The Huskies continue to win and the
crowd, the B.S.T.C. crowd , continues
to stay away. Maybe we need a Bill
Veock around here , or something.
Spooking of baseball, all credit
must be Riven to Danny Lltwhllur's
All Stars who were here laat week.
They turned out to be iui amiable
bunch of fellows who were more than
willing to oblige with a story or an
autograph.

Litwhiler's All-Stars Have Varied
Opinions As To Best Team in N. L.
M & G Sports Editor
Interviews Players
Ron Northey and Billy Cox may
think the St. Louis Cardinals and
Brooklyn Dodgers, respectively, were
the best teams in the National
League this past season , but Vern
Bi ckford , sensational rookie pitcher,
has proof that his Braves were the
pick of the crop.
"Sure," said Bickford in response
to Ron Northey "s assertion at Mt.
Olympus last week that all the clubs
were as strong as ever, "we're all
good , but the Braves led the league
in hitting; we led the league in fieldi n g, and we had the best pitching
record. How can you beat that?"
Hoping to avert an inevitable debate on the subj ect, the line of talk
was steered to the World Series in
which Bickford had a not too successful turn on the mound.
"Cleveland," said Verne, "is a good,
sound ball club with a great manager, who very definitely is the greatest shortstop In the business."
Asked what he thought of Bobby
Feller , Bickford replied that Feller
was not as fast as he had been represented, but did throw a curve ball
that he , Bickford , considered the best
he had ever seen thrown.
Bickford surprised himself by going into his first World Series con-

Big Leaguers Trounce
Locals by 13*2 Score
The College diamond provided the
setting for the Maj or League Stars
to defeat the Tri-County All Stars
13-2.
Bobby Rhawn , Who formerly hailed
from Catawissa and is now with the
New York Giants, scored five times
and hud three hits, one a triple.
Stan "Bubber " Kline , the veteran
Mifflinvill e shortstop, finished as the
hittin g star for the losers, getting
three of his team 's five hits. Paul
Strausser and Don Kline collected the
other two hits.
Despite inclement weather, this
same attracted an estimated crowd
of 1500 who remained until the lost

?

test feeling as if he were j ust going
to pitch an onlinary ball game. But
for some r eason , oth er than nervousness, he lacked his usual control and
was unusually wild during his tenure
on the hill.
Bickford, who came up to the
Braves this season from Milwaukee
to become one of the outstanding
pitchers in the National League, exhibited a baseball acumen rarely
found in pitchers as he analyzed the
Braves from the big chief down to the
little papoose batboy.
He said he couldn 't disagree with
any newspaper stories describing
Manager Billy Southworth's attributes as either a manager or a man ,
except that he is probably even a
greater man than he has been credited with being.
The Braves all think highly of
Stanky who is all that has ever been
said of him. Bickford thinks Stanky
should be admired because of his
capacity for sparking a team when
he actually is a player of very little
natural ability .
Bickford could find no fault with
shortstop Alvin Dark , who, according
to him , will eventually blossom into
one of the best ever. Elliot is a good
third baseman , but he could not say
whether he rated an award as the
most valuable player In the league'.
The Boston hurler was also high
on outfielder Jim Russel whom he
rates as one of the outstanding defensive players in baseball.
Asked if he had any preference for
a battery mate, Bickford unhesitatingly chose Phil Masl. Masl, he said ,
Ls as good, if not better , on defense ,
than Walker Cooper of the Glnnts.
Bickford also expresses the opinion
that Curt Simmons, the Phils' big
bonus pitcher, would eventually become a standout in the league because of the poise and confidence
which he has in addition to the great
natural ability he possesses.
He did think , though , that Simmons would have been better prepared for> the big time if he could
have been kept in the minors a bit
longer. Bill MeCahan of the A's, who
had been sitting quietly during this
discourse (an unusual occurrence for

him) broke into the conversation here
to add his concurrence to Bickford' s
opinion.
Bill Foxed 'Em
• McMahan , the chubby, good-natured righthander, said he was more
peeved than nervous in the final
inning of his no hit performance
against the Washington Senators. He
believes they played a dirty trick on
him by sending in three pinch-hitters,
all of whom were left handed batters.
He retired the side , anyway.
Bill says that Connie Mack still
calls all the decisions for the Athletics and is as efficient as ever. Hank
Maj eski and Ferris Fain are given
most of the credit by MeCahan for
the surprising surge of the A's this
year.
Cox Prefers "The Bums"
Billy Cox, rated among the best
infielders in baseball, would rather
play ball for Brooklyn, under Shotten,
but would like to play every day. He
expressed a violent dislike for his
former manager, Leo Durocher, and
"knows " the Dodgers could have won
the pennant easily by ten games if
Shotten had been manager from the
start of the season. Carl Furillo backs
Cox up on this sentiment.
Bill doesn't know what new players
would be coming up to the Dodgers
next season , but did think it was perfectly o.k. to let players go after their
usefulness to the club was over.
He stated that there was no race
difficulty between the White and colored players on the squad , and
thought that catcher Ray Campanella
will soon be recognized as the outstanding catcher in either league. He
believes Jackie Robinson should be
kept at second base where the Negro
star feels more at home.
tie was emphatic in his declaration
tjiat Martin Marlon Is no longer as
great a shortstop as he once was.
"Brookl yn ? No, the Card*"
"The Cardinals were the best team
in the National League," maintain s
Ron Northey, power-hitting outfield- ,
er, "but we j ust didn 't get the breaks.
Kurowski and Schoendienst , along
with some of our pitchers, were out
most of the season with Inj uries nnd
we still finished close, "
Northey denied that the Cards
were too old and backs up this statement by quoting statistics that show

For the first time this season, the
Huskies found themselves trailing the
opposing team, but came back strong
to edge a surprisingly strong Millersville eleven by a 20-13 score.
Dan Parrell was the offensive star
in this contest as he gained 117 yards
on twenty-three ties and kept himself
among the state's leading point getters »by tallying thirteen points on
two touchdowns and an extra point.
Game Slowed by Fumbles
The Huskies hindered their attack
considerably by fumbling ten times
during the fray with several of their
miscues coming near pay-dirt.
Millersville wasn't immune to this
epidemic either, throwing the ball
away on three occasions.
Millersville Scores First
The Millersville Marauders ended
all hopes of an unscored upon season
by the Huskies when they crossed the
Husky goal line in the first quarter
and added another six-pointer in the
final period.
The first Millersville score came
after a 67-yard drive that was touched off by a pass from John Dougherty
to Gabe Geiger that was good for
fifty-six yards to the Bloomsburg
seventeen. Several plays later, Geiger
scored from the three yard line, but
Kreiser a n d Paternoster charged
thr ou gh to bl ock th e kick f or the
point.
It w asn 't until late in the second
quarter that the Huskies could find
pay territory, and even then, the extra point try failed and Husky rooters
found themselves wondering.
Blocked Kick Aids Huskies
The Husky dynamite was finally
ignited in the second quarter when
Elmer Kreiser blocked a Millersville
kick that was recovered by the Huskies on the Marauder forty-nine.
Angelo Albano and Parrell alternated at carrying the ball until a first
down was made on the thirty-seven.
After a three yard loss by Kriss,
Apichella completed a pass to Kreiser
for another first down, this one on
the twenty-seven.
Apichella jus t missed a first down
and Parrell carried to the ten for the
first down from where on the next
play he lateraled off to Apichella who
moved the ball to within a yard of
the goal. Kriss went off tackle for
the score, but Johns' kick was partially blocked and the score was tied,
6-6.
Huskies Dominate Flay
Hereafter, the play was dominated
by the Huskies who failed to run up
a larger margin of victory only because of their numerous fumbles.
Parrell added the second Husky
score after a Millersville fumble had
been recovered on the eleven yard
line of the Marauders. Dan also scored the extra point on a line buck.
Millersville scored in the final quarter , but the Huskies took the ball on
the kickoff and marched to the final
touchdown of the night.
After reaching the seventeen yard
marker, Parrell took j ust two plays
to cover the remaining distance to the
goal, the first play netting fourteen
yards and the second a touchdown.
Albano passed to Paternoster for the
extra point.
the Braves to be four years older per
man than the Cardinals.
Asked whether he thought the National League to be as strong as ever,
he said if anything it was stronger
and shrugged off the prevailing notion that it was weaker as j ust so
much "poppycock" thought up by
some newspaper writer from whence
the stoiy spread.
He's glad to have Eddie Dyer remain as manager and feels that he is
one of the best in baseball. Quizzed
about the Trl-County players he was
opposing, Northey said they .were
abou t as good an amateur group as
he had ever seen and was particularly
keen about centerflelder Reese.

Racket from The Rocket . . .
Dick Sass, purveyor of "Odds and Ends " on the Slippery Rock Rocket,
evidently feels that someone has rattled his cage. In looking over the exchanges that piled up during the summer, we find that the said Sass has
given us some sass concerning our "Borrowed Banter. " Dick's recommendation was that " . . . the exchange editor (of The Rocket) . . . burn all forthcoming issues of the aforementioned papers (among them The Maroon and
Gold) as soon as they are received." Yet at the beginning of his column he
referred to the fact that he would extract "choice bits of humor" from various exchange papers. He then proceeded to extract five choice bits of humor
from The Maroon and Gold. We take it that Dick intends to read the M & G
exchanges before they are burned.

Of Spice and Men . . .
Has the young lady of your affection been reacting indifferently toward
you of late ? If she has, you might try changing the brand of your after
shave lotion.. The Dog House Department of Parlor Warfare has found that
women have decided preferences when it comes to the lotion on the lad.
"Old Spice" ranks high on the preferred list. However, the exact scent which
will suit your female is a matter calling for careful investigation. An interesting approach to the problem would be to have the scent match the occasion. You could try, say , eau de Cologne for the ballroom, and for the outdoors , a more virile scent, perhaps creosote thinned with kerosene.

In order to avoid the usual confusion of in-coming telephone calls and

Many Scholarships
Are Available To
Worthy Students

REMINISCENCES
by

Former Dean Sutliff

as told to Kay Chapin

Welcome to your Alma Mater :

]

Waiting to be awarded to deserving
B.S.T.C. students are the following
scholarships: the R~ Bruce Albert
Scholarship of one hundred dollars ,
four special scholarships of fifty dollars each , the President Andruss
Scholarship of fifty dollars, and the
Parent Teachers' Association Scholarship of fifty dollars.
Applicants are advised to fill out
the blank form which m ay be otained
at the D ea n of Instr u ction 's office,
and with this form include a letter
in which should be stated something
about their needs, f uture plans, and
anything else which might bear on
their being chosen the winning candidates.
R. Bruce Albert , an alumnus of this
college, directed the work for raising
the money for an Alumni Loan Fund.
Some of this m on ey w as inve st ed in
bonds , and in 1945, instead of the
accumulated earnings being put back
int o th e f u nd , the interest was set
aside for scholarships. The Alumni
Association asked the President to
select some worthy person to i*eceive
this scholarship of one hundre d dollars. A faculty committee was appointed to recommend a student on
the basis of scholarship, personality,
professional promise, and financial
need. Since then , the income from
investments has exceeded one-hundred dollars , and special awards of
fifty dollars each have been made
annually.
In general, these scholarships have
gone to students who do not qualify

Sonnet

by J. Eddlnger

Publishe d Weekly by
The Students of Bloomsburg States Teachers College

When sometimes I think I may never
plumb
The deep - fathomed mysteries of
lif e,
Before days have become but images
dumb,
And only lifeless leaves tell of the
strife ,
I lilt my eyes to the heaven above
And find solace in its cloud-starred
f ace;
When , too , I feel the whi te soft-winged dove
Glide past my cold cheek without a
trace ,
Its phantom presence but a murm ured plea
Amongst the shadows of th e night ,
I st um ble, fall, cry out "Impunity!" . .
But hear no voice; but see no light.
Then do I raise my down-bowed head,
And dream of the shoi'e where
angels tread.

Come in the evening, come in

—I rish Rhyme

Welcome , alumni , parents, and friends to the twenty-first annual
Homecoming Day of Bloomsburg State Teachers College.
It was in 1928 — exactl y twenty years ago — that "The Maroon
and Gold" first mentioned Homecoming Day festivities. The feature
attraction of that day was, of course, the bruising football contest
between our Huskies and the Blue and White of Wyoming Seminary
on Mt . Olympus. The Capitol Movie Theater in Bloomsburg at that
time was showing Wallace Beery in "B eggars of Life " wh ich was
advertised as having a synchronized musical score and sound effects;
and Ray Harley "at the Foot of the Hill" was featuring the tonsorial
style of the day, "Th e Wind-blown — The Bob of the Day. " The
question of the day — according to the Homecoming Day issue of
"The Maroon and Gold" twenty years ago — was , "W ho started
wearing red neckties first — Prof. Fisher , Pro f. Reams , or Dr. Haa s?"
and the jok e of the day read something like this : "Mrs. Shortess : 'I
think I hear burg lars. Are you awake? 1 Prof . Shortess : 'No. ' "
Yes , the years have seen many events take place since tha t eventful Homecoming Day twenty years ago. Many students and professors have come and gone , and grea t strides in material progress have
been made. Yet , Jhe friendly spirit of welcome which prevaded throug h
B.S.T.C. then has remained to this present Homecoming Day.
"The Maroon and Gold" in this same friendl y spirit bids all "the
old grads ," parents, and friends a very memorable Homecoming Day.

For the Glor y of Old Siwash
An editorial which appeared in the King 's College Crown made
reference to the Bloomsburg>-K ing 's game of a few weeks ago. It seems
that our visitors from Wilkes-Ba rre had a student representative in
the press box, and the conversation there centered , as it naturall y
would, on one thing ~* football. During the course of the conversation
the question was rais ed — " Why do football p layers p lay football? "
Opin ion was divided. Some believed it was f or the fun of playing ,
others held that personal glory was the chief attraction. One person ,
however, mainta ined that most teams play for the honor of their school,
This idea was quickl y made light of by another member of the group
who expressed the belief that " . . . there isn 't a tea m in the country
that still plays for the honor and glory of 'Old Siwash ' . "
King 's reply to that statement was "Ours does , "
We can hardly blame our visitors for their indi gnation over that
remark , and we hope they took it at its face value, as the opin ion of
one man. We hope , too, that they did not carry away the wrong
impressio n of us.
Here at the Hil ltop College we speak of " The Spirit that is
Bloomsburg ," That spirit has been engendered by a traditio n which
is now nearl y one hundred and ten years old. It has back of it more
than a century of fin e sportsmanship and good will, To us it is a
spirit that is as real and tangible as Carver Hall. It is a spirit of which
we are proud , and it is the spir it that motivates us in our conduct
toward our college and its activities.
Yes, here at Bloomsburg , too, we still pla y for the hon or and

glory of "Old Siwash. "

Support the Huskies!

R eminiscences
(Continued from page 1)
There were once two eagles with
outspread wings, one on either side of
the top of the st eps at the end of
Senior Walk. Do you recall their
fate? It seems, that because of their
enormous spread, they were having
continuous brushes with the public
and were coming out a sad second.
Then some ingenious person noted
that the steps were wider at the
bottom than at the top and suggested
switching the eagles with Leo and
Leona (the lions which you see there
now). Leo and Leona were very obliging and the transfer was underway,
when the cry arose , "The British lion
is being placed above the American
eagle!" Thi s would never do, so the
proud eagles were restored to their
seat of perilous prestige, where they
came to an untimely end.
The pergola in the Grove was used
fo r pl ays , p ut on by traveling New
Yoi-k performers. It was also utilized
f or the Ivy Day Exe rcises, when this
annual event was more elaborately
observed than it is today. (The pergola is no longer used because classes
end much earlier in the spring than
they did when the monument was
presented by the Class of 1916 ; the
:profusion of poison ivy in the Grove
has made it impractical.)
The pinery was planted in the form
of a star with each tree commemorating a boy from the College who gave
his life in World War I. (Much discussion has been held on the subj ect
iof a fitting memorial for World War
LL» but as far as we know there has
been no definite decision as yet.)
The old boll in Carver Hall Tower
was purchased by money raised by
the first graduating class. It is now
only rung on very special occasions.
The dining room was moved back
to its present place and enlarged. Bethis there was no lobby in Waller
\fore

;wide.
Waller Hall ended about where the
:Bookstore now is. (If you look on

Higher Educatio n - the Hope of America
An addre ss delivered by

President Harvey A. Andruss

to the students of
BLOOMSBURG STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
Part I
Comments on College Liie
A long time ago, President Eliot of
Harvard said there must be a lot of
knowledge in college since freshmen
bring so much with them and seniors
take so little away.
Since th at time there have been an
increasing number of apt comments
about college life. Some were wisecracks. Some clever. Some challenging. Some current , only for a ti me.
Certainly, there is more t alk about
college life today" than ever before.
Higher education is one of the chief
topics of the day. The question , "Did
you get into college?" is asked about
as often as, "Do you * think it will
rain ?"
A story is told of the New York
show which opened on Thursday and
closed on the following Saturday.
Af ter the three-day run , a reporter
asked one of the actors how he felt
and his reply was, "The play was a
success but the audience was a failure."
The same idea is applied in a current movie to education. Some of you
have seen "East er Parade" f eaturing
the music and songs of Irving Berlin.
In one of the scenes, Fred Astaire,
having lost his dancing partner, is
being consoled by a sympathetic , but
philosophical, bartender. For no parti cul ar re ason , the bartender observes,
"Education is all right , it' s the people." When gag writers try to explain
the shortcomings of education in
terms of the weaknesses of people,
you may be certain that the topic is
of current interest.
An old , but famous, comment about
higher education was made by a
history professor of the University of
Pe n nsyl v ani a who rose to f am e by
writing a series of histories at the
rate of one or two volumes a year.
His classes did research and gathered
data for these books. His observation
was, "College would be a wonderful
pl ace if it weren 't for students."
If education is to be an instrument
of our improvement , we must be constantly aware of its mission.
It is one of the paradoxes of our
time that modern society needs fear
little except men, and what is more,
to fear only educated men. The most
serious crimes are committed by educated and technically competent people. Since most of our future leaders
seek education in colleges, they must
be careful to learn the "what for " as
well as the "how*" According to John
Rusk in:
"Education does not mean teaching people what they do not
know. It means teaching them
to behave as they do not behave.
It is not teaching youth the
shapes of letters and the tricks
of numbers, and then leaving
them to turn their arithmetic to
roguery and their literature to
lust. It moans, on the contrary,
er on his floor to visit, a room for
some good reason. He was obliged to
report back to the teacher before
returning to his own room.
Lights were out at ten o'clock each
night.
From' two to four o'clock every
Sunday afternoon quiet hours wore
observed. Students remained in thoir
rooms.
Finally mixed dances were hold in
the gym; boys danced with boys, and
girls with girls.
(The M&G Staff expresses its appreciation to Mr, and Mrs, W, B,
Sutliff for their kindness and help in
making these "snapbacks" possible.
Mr. SutlliT came to the College in
1890 as a mathematics professor and
was Dean of Instruction from 1921 to
1937, when ho retired, Mrs. Sutliff
was f ormer ly a mus i c I nstruct or
bore. )

training them in the perfect exercise and kingly continence of
th eir bodies and souls. It is painful , continual , and diffi cult w ork
to be don e by ki n d n ess, by watching, by warning, by precept and
by praise ; but' above all by example."
What is college for? To get an
education , you answer. An education
for what ? To increase your earning
power, you add. Increase your earning
power for what?* To enable one to
enter a career or set up a home.
What happens if earnings are spent
in such a fashion that you , your dependents , your commu nity, and yo u r
country are harmed rather than
helped ?
These questions with a multitude
of answers are the current comments
on many college campuses today.
In discussing research , one of our
greatest scientists , Charles Kettering,
of the General Motors Laboratories,
said that everyone must be interested
in the future since that is where all
of us shall spent the rest of our lives.
The next few years of your future
are being spent in college, so you
should be interested in making these
years the best years of your lives.
Colleges are Places for
Living and Learning
What is a college ? Is it the same
as a university ? Without defining the
different forms of higher education ,
let us assume that it is any institution that requires among other things
high school graduation as one of the
qualifications for admission. Here are
some of the definitions culled from
th e great men of the past.
Cardinal Newman defined a university as a wholesome environment in
which worthy young people gather to
educate one another. Teachers and
classrooms are not mentioned.
"A university is a collection of
books." This q uotation is cut on the
stone facades of countless libraries.
Carlyle th us recognizes the importance of books as the raw material of
education. No laboratories or football
gridirons are mentioned here.
James A. Garfield , in paying a
tribute to the President of Williams
College, his alma mater , said that his
conception of a college was Mark
Hopkins on one end of a log and a
student on the other. Great teachers

did not mention buildings , swi mm ing

Can we not combine all three of
these ideas and say that a college or
a university is a place for living and
learning organized as a community ?
I think that the place is important.
Living for a time in a place and
learning to share with others is important. Learning is , important. In
this college community, we all play a

Husky Gridders Battle From Bdbind '
Fighting Huskies Kazmerovicz
. .

I SIDELINES | Downed in Soccer
IN SPORTS . . ,
by Cur t Miller

Thi s space was originally intended
to be used today as a historical resume of happenings on Husky athletic
fields on past Homecoming Day occasions. However, it was suggested
that th e past is known only too well
by the old grads, and the undergradu ates are interested only in the
present. So, for the time being we 'll
carry on in the usual fashion and
hope we don 't disgrace ourselves before the scrutiny of past members of
Maroon and Gold j ournalism.
We take time here to argue a bit
with one of the most prominen t local
writers, who, incidentally, should be
commended for the interest which he
professes to have In our college. This
is j ust an honest difference of opinion
without any ill-will intended .
Thi s man is of the opinion that
staging today 's football game on Mt.
Olymp us will work a hardship on the
fin ancial end of the thing because of
the reluctance of citizens of the town
to brave the cold weather and steep
hill .
Personally, we consider this theory
to be completely cockeyed. In the
first place, it ts a college game, and
college students and alumni will find
it considerably more convenient to
walk up to Mt. Olympus than to attempt to needle their way through
heavy Saturday afternoon traffic on
the narrow streets of Bloomsburg
(town officials apparently begrudge
any attempts to improve conditions
for the motorist ) in an effort to find
parking space near Athletic Park.
This field, without question, is the
better field if you locate it without
injury to yourself or your automobile.
Anyway, just this once, because it
is Homecoming Day, it is fitting and
proper that all events of the day be
presented on the B.S.T.C. campus.
The Huskies have now passed the
last big obstacle in the path to the
Teacher's College crown, un til the
East Stroudsburg battle, despite Associated Press and United Press oddsmakers who week after week are reluctant to give Bloomsburg due credit.
Th e prevailing opinion that , the
Huskies don 't have any fighting spirit
certainly isn 't indicated by their performance in the last two contests,
particularly the Shippensburg affair ,
in which they fought from behind to
win.
Eas t Stroudttburg was tripped by
West Chester last week, we'r e sor r y
to report. Our reason for this is two*
fold. In the first pi nee, West Chester,
which doesn 't meet too many conference foes, has won too many games,
and , secondly, the victory which our
Huskies will eventually pound out
over the Warriors would be a bit
sweeter if we could have blotted their
perfect record. Now, the Huskies can
only aim to win by a greater margin
than did West Chester and thereby
prove their right to the throne of the
Tea ch er 's College domain.
Upsets have happened to over-confident elevens before. The Huskies are
well aware of this fact , but we have
a suspicion that our maroon nnd gold
clad grlddors nro immune to such
happenings this season and will roll
over Kutztown and Lycoming with
ease and batter East Stroudsburg to
a pulp.
Dan Parrell, who made IUh first
shine in the East Stroudsburg game
last year, has come along In great
stylo this season to be nur most consistent ground-gainer. He 's only one
of the many reasons for our unlimited
confidence In predicting the Huskies
to register their first undefeated
season.

Lincoln Booters Visit
Mount Olympus Toda y

The Maroon and Gold clad booters
lost their fourth game of the season
last Saturday to a highly rated West
Chester eleven , by a 5-3 score.
To the few who braved the wind
and contin uous rain , went th e privilege ol viewing one of the greatest
battle s ever staged on a Teachers
College field. Throughout the entire
regular game and the two extra periods th at followed , the two opposing
teams waged a hard-fo ught see-saw
b a ttle .
The Rams of West Chester grabbed
a qui ck 1-0 lead earjy in the first
period . However, the hard-charging,
not-to-be-denied Huskies drove righ t
back from th e kickoff to tie the game.
Dick Reichart , freshman lineman who
hails from nearby Espy, directed a
backfiel d pass from Leroy Henry into
the nets for the score.
The Huskies scored their second
marker of the day when a beautiful
corner-kick by Buddy Hartman was
directed between the uprights by the
Husky line . West Chester scored
shortly aft erward to again send the
game into a deadlock.
Nea r the end of the third quarter ,
the aggressiveness of the Husky eleven again paid off. A furious attack
was unleashed on the Rams goal and
although the West Chester goalie put
on a brilliant show by turning away
drive after drive in rapid succession ,
he slipped on the rain soaked turf and
a shot by Dick Gearheart caromed off
the upri ghts into the nets to again
shove the Maroon and Gold into the
lead.
Two Extra Periods Necessary
On thro ugh the waning minutes of
the final period the Huskies fough t
West Chester to a st andstill an d it
appeared as though they would pull
the upset of the year. However, the
Rams had other ideas and with less
th an two minutes remaining they
shook loose from the Husky defense
to push across the tying marker. This
sent the game into extra periods.
The first one ended in a stalemate ,
but during the second, West Chester
tallied twice. The Huskies , who h ad
played a fast, and furious game, by
pressing the winners on every play,
j ust couldn't maintain the blistering
pace in the final canto, and the well
polished West Chester crow left, the
field with an exceptionally hard fought but well-earned victory.
Outstanding- Lincoln Booters
Here Today
The Husky soccer squad meet Lincoln today and it promises to be a
"bang-up " game. In the past three
games played , the Huskies have won
by 2-0, 4-0, and 1-0 scores. Lincoln
wants this game, and the boys from
Lincoln intend to give "battle-royal"
to our Huskies. Lincoln's team is
made up mostly of exchange-students
fro m over-seas and they really know
their soccer.

Forced f rom
Active Play

Charlie Kazmerovicx
It was with deep regret that the
entire College Community learned
that Charlie Kazmerovicz, sta r H u sky
quarterback and three - year letter
man , has be5n forced to leave the
football scene because of an aggravated shoulder inj ury. The loss of
Charlie came as quite a shock to the
Huskies as they headed fer their first
undefeated - untied season in many
years. Each member of the team fully
realized that "Barrel" was a vital factor in bringing about our successful
season. His deceptive strategy and
true team spirit have been instrumental in keeping the Huskies "on
the m ov e" toward the mythical State
Teachers College Championship.
The football career of Charlie Kazmerovicz began at Plains High School,
Pl ains, Pennsylvania, where he pl ayed
quarterback under Coach Arnold
Kraft. As a fitting reward for his
fine all around playing, he was honored by being chosen starting quarterback on the All-Star Team in the
1940 Anthracite Bowl in Wyoming
Valley.
After graduating from high school
i n 1941, he attended LaSalle College
in Philadelphia where he played on
the football squad for one year. His
college career was cut short at this
point by Uncle Sam , and he entered
the U. S. Navy for three years, two
of which were spent in the Pacific
Thnnt.pr.

In September, 1946, Charlie enrolled at B.S.T.C. and for two and a half
years, has played a clever type of
razzle-dazzle football , as first-string
quarterback , mixing his signals and
fooling the opposition in many games.
Now a senior, Charlie plans to
teach upon graduation. He also intends to return to his beloved game
of football , even it it is only from the
sidelines. We're certain that whatever team Charlie coaches will be a
star team and play the game of foot-

To Maintain Perfect Record

Kutztown Gridmen
Play Here Today

Having come safely past their biggest danger thus far, the Husky gridders return to Bloomsburg for the
firs t time in three weeks to present
their wares befor e an expected capacity crowd of alumni at Mt. Olympus
today.
Though not considered dangerous,
Kutztown has a fair aggregation of
football players who went out last
week and turned in a 19-6 victory
over a f a vored Tren t on Teachers
College eleven. Earlier, they f orced
Shippensburg to go all out, in ekeing
out a 7-6 victory.
However, the Huskies have definitely established th emselves as the
team in Teachers College play and
will be out to score a win by the
largest margin possible in order to
present to the returning graduates a
pi cture of power and precision that
will completely blot out the ignominy
of last year 's Homecoming Day loss
to Shippensburg. It is unfortunate for
Kutztown that they happen to be the
scapegoat for this season 's episode,
but as matters now stand the charges
of Coach Redman are out for blood
and will get it , if determination
means anything.
Homecoming fan s will see in action
the famous Dan Parrell, one of the
top scorers in the state; George
Paternoster , one of the best blocking
and pass snatching ends in the business ; terrific Frank Luchnik, renowned beak-busting guard ; and Elmer
Kreiser, another wingman, who gained all - state recognition last year;
tackle Tommy Donan will also be on
hand to make the witnesses rub their
eyes in probable disbelief and to give
Kutztown a headache with his outstanding line play.

Life-saving Classes Begin

Girls' life-saving classes began on
Mond ay, October 11. Enrolled in the

course are : Barbara Harman, Virginia Mayes, Barbara Sherman, Jane
Sheetz, Barbara Smith, Joyce Shiyter ,
Delphine Buss, Dorothy Pichel, Patricia Barfield , Gay Palutis, and Betty Kopovitz. The instructress is Ann
Wright.
The class meets every Monday and
Wednesday at four o'clock. One hour
is spent on class work and one on
practice in the pool.
The first two classes were dedicated to testing applicants for the
course. The tests consisted of distance swimming, treading water, diving, and floating. The girls are now
working on various strokes, but will
soon begin practice on actual lifesaving devices*

Thanks a million , Charlie, for helping to make this season one of our
best.

THE 1948 HUSKIES — UNDEFEATED AND UNTIED

Kriss-tO'Paternoster Pass
Saves Day for Bloomsburg

Wi th N a beautifully executed pass

from Kriss to Paternoster, the Huskies chalked up win number six at the
expense of Shippensburg. Never ahead
until Paternoster scored, the Huskies
battled valiantly all the way. This
game was a "must" to keep Bloomsburg at the head of the list.
The Shippers scored first late in
the first period, on a H at field t o
Stuart pass. This culminated a sixtytwo yard drive with Hopper carrying
the ball for a big forty-eight yard
run. Ray Lynn kicked the extra point
to give Shippensburg a 7-0 advantage.
Things looked bad when Bloomsburg, after receiving the kick-off ,
f umbled on their own twenty-six. The
Shippers took over and managed to
reach the Huskies three , but thanks
to our "st one wall lin e," Bloomsburg
not only held, but drove the Shippers
back for a loss of seventeen big yards.
h.ack for a loss of seventeen big
yards. The Shippers fumbled there
and Bloomsburg took over on their
own twenty-two.
Then, the winners embarked on a
seventy - eight yard sustained drive,
that finally gave them six big points.
This drive saw Parrell and Lang carrying the ball and Aingelo Albano and
Elmer Kreiser catching passes to put
the ball down the field. Danny Parrell
finally went off-tackle from the three
for the score. George Joh n's kick for
the point failed and the Huskies still
trailed 7-6.
Shippensburg dominated the play
driving the first part of the third
period , when they drove to the Bloom
forty. Dave Linchorst snare d a Shippensburg pass on the sixteen and
Apichella kicked out. The losers came
right back to the twenty-three , on a
pass to Hopper.
Here the Huskies buckled down to
business and four plays later they
took over. Here a drive started late
in the third period, and early in the
fourth period saw the Huskies sixtyone yards up the field on the four
yard line. But, fortune favored the
Shippers this time, as Hopper knocked down a fourth down pass.
Shippensburg took over and Hopper
punted to the Shippers forty - five
where Apichella returned it to the
thirty-five.
The Huskies failed in four passes
to make the necessary yardage and
Shippensburg gained possession, but
was forced to punt to the Huskies
forty-seven.
Then came the big play of the
game. Kriss took the ball from the
center, ran far to his left, suddenly
stopped , and heaved the ball far down
the field. Paternoster took the ball in
stride, on the twenty, and ran across
the goal unmolested. John's kick for
the extra point was good this time
and the score stood 13-7.
After three desperate pass plays
the Shippers punted to Bloomsburg,
and the Huskies used up the remaining time in plays that drove to their
own forty-five.
This game was sweet revenge for
the Huskies, who had their Homecoming game of last year ruined by
Shippensburg, who won 19-12.
