Local Rector Speaks
At Armistice Day
Convocation Thursday
Armistice Day was commemorated
at (.he College with a special convocation on Thursday morning in the
Carver Hall Auditorium. At the conI sole, Mr. Howard F. Fenstemaker
[ opened the progra m by playing our
I nat ional anthem . To organ accomI paniment , the college chorus sang
I "Ameri ca."
I Presiding over the assembly, President Harvey A . Andr uss read the
morning 's scripture , followed by a
reading of the Governor 's Proclamation.
I Father William J. Burke, Rector
of the Church of St. Columba, spoke
briefly to the gathering. His topic
was "Destiny of a Man Who Believes
in Sacrifice.1,." Father Burke reminded the students that the leaders of
tomorrow must make sacrifices for
democracy, as did those heroes of
days gone by, for America was founded on sacrifices. He urged everyone
to "go out and live the principles of
democracy ," remembering that individuality o£ person is one of the rights
of democracy. As f uture teachers, the
students were cautioned to be especially mindful of dignity. The speaker
also mentioned the widely-scattered
graves of war victims as being shrines
for freedom-loving people. He paid
tribute to the war mothers, who also
suffered sacrifices. In closing, the
Rector emphasized the importance of
God in a free nation. His parting
thought was in the form of a verse,
"When we live, we live in clover;
When we di e, we live all over."
Taps were sounded by Mr. Luther
Jones, after which Miss Harriet M.
Moore led the college chorus in the
singing of "America, the Beautiful. "

College Represented
At Deans ' Conference
The twenty-eighth annual meeting
of the Pennsylvania Association of
Deans of Women was held at the
Penn Harris Hotel in Harrisburg,
November 5 and 6, with Deans Kehr
and Waldron representing B. S. T. C.
The theme of this 1948-49 convention
was concerning the report of the
President's Commission on Higher
Education.
Opening the program on Friday
was an address by Dr. Francis J.
Brown, staff associate, of the American Council on Education. Later the
representatives separated into various discussion groups on such matters as equal education for all , expansion of adult education , changes
in curriculum , and the use of intelligence tests.
Highlighting the two - day conference was an address made at the
banquet in the ballroom of the hotel
by Judge Dorothy Kenyon , U.S. Delegate to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, w.ho
spoke on "The United Nations—The
Hope of the World."
After a general session on Saturday morning, at which time reports
were read by Chairmen of the Discussion Groups, Dr. Horace Mann
Bond , President of Lincoln University, concluded the Association's program.
Mrs. Charles R. Beeman , of the
College art department, made the
final choice from the eight rooms
chosen by the judges. First place
went to the room occupied by Genevieve Krzywickl , Eleanor Poust, and
Nancy Wesneyak; second to the room
of Shirley Ashner and Lillian Mlkvy ;
and third place to the room of Marian Lake ' and Eloise Symons.
Other rooms receiving awards were

Music and laughs provided by the
members of the cast of the "St ardust Follies " were the sti m uli t h a t
kept Carver Hall auditorium resounding with applause to the very end of
the assembly program of Thursday
morning, November 4.
Don Maietta, who led the morning
devotions , introdu ced Johnny Lydon
as master of ceremonies for the program, which was directed by Charles
Edwards. Familiar to all, Johnny
disappointed no one as he kept the
show moving at a rapid pace by
interspersing bits of selected humor
at intervals throughout the performance.
Leading the array of music talent
was Isabel Bolinsky, who sang "J u st
for Now " and "I Don 't Know Why. "
Introd uced next were two people at
two pianos. Ruth Von Bergen and
Dick Wagner presented their interpretations of bi - keyboard arrangements of "Stormy Weather" and
"Pav a nne , " responding to the appl ause with "Kitten on the Keys."
Appearing in his production , Chas.
Edwards sang "Bluebird of Happiness" and "Maybe You'll Be There."
"Chuck" used "One Alone " as his
encore.
John Czerniakowski and John Lydon displayed their musical versatili ty as "Al Jolson " Czerniakowski
sang "Sonny Boy "—"aided and abetted by Sonny Boy," in the person of
Johnny Lydon. "Sonny, " in his bonnet and diaper and smoking a big
cigar, sat nervously on his "Daddy 's"
knee and interrupted him repeatedly,
adding much in the way of humor to
an otherwise blues song.
"Three boys and an accordion "
were featured in the last act of the
"Follies." Max Kaplan, Norman Kline,
and Andy Maceiko began their part
of the program with Andy accompanying Max and Norman as they
sang a medley of old-time tunes. A
dance routine added to the effectiveness of the medley, which included
"When You Wore a Tulip," "I Want
a Girl ," "Wait 'Til the Sun Shines,
Nellie," "Moonlight Bay, " and "That
Old Gan g of Mine." Maceiko was
next as he "squeezed out" three numbers in an expert manner. These were
a selection from the "Trieste Overture," "Clarinet Polka," and "Sharpshooters' March." Returning amid the
applause of the audience, Kaplan and
Kline sang a Max Kaplan original ,
entitled "Terry." As their final offering the boys presented an arrangement of "I'm a Big Boy Now " in
which each of the members of the
trio sang a novelty verse as a solo.
Johnny Lydon closed the program
by presenting the entire cast to the
audience , who indicated their approval by applauding enthusiastically.
Also deserving special mention are :
Ruth Von Bergen , who served as accompanist for the vocalists ; John
Brown , who capably handled the
spotlight; and , Dick Sager, who, from
the balcony, acted as a censor for the
j okes of the emcee (of whom he is a
close friend) by waving a red flag in
anticipation of an oncoming bit of
somewhat slightly tainted humor.
Local P.S.E.A. Group
Meets at College
A meeting of members from Columbia and Montour Counties of the
Pennsylvania State Education Association was held ' recently in the College Alumni Room. Miss Iva Mae
Van Scoyac, president of the P.S.E.A.
unit of the College, and members of
the faculty acted as hosts at the
meeting.
- Negro Choral Group Offers
Wide Variety of Selections
For about two hours on the evening
of November 9, the Carver Hall Auditorium was transplanted in the heart
of the "Deep South." Responsible for
the imaginary transportation was a
group of well-trained Negro singers,
the Eva Jessye Choir, who pleased
the audience from beginning to end
with a variety of selections. The
chorus was well - received and responded with several encores during
the program. Soloists appeared, singing leading roles in various numbers,
thereby proving the ability of the
individuals as well as of the group.
The opening part of the program
consisted of spirituals by the group.
The audience heard "Hail, Hail,
Hail !," "Plenty Good Room," "Carri
the K ey An ' Gone Home," "Lord ,
Hear Me Pray.' A soprano was featu red in "I Stan ' and For My Arms,"
and a baritone was next as he j oyou sly commen te d , "I Belong To That
Band." Dedicated to Fisk University,
the choir lamented that they "Couldn't Heai* Nobody Pray." From Gershwin 's "Porgy and Bess" was "Jes u s
Is Walkin ' on the Water. " "Tall
Angel" completed the spirituals of
the first portion of the performance.
Contralto and male choir received
the approval of the audience with
"My Jesus' Campground ," as did the
entire chorus for their premier performance of "Chronicle of Job." An
original work by Eva Jessye, with
piano score by Reginald Beane, and
narrated by a baritone, closed the
first half of the program.
Following a short intermission, the
choir returned with another Gershwin
tune, "I Can't Sit Down." Adding a
guitar to the piano accompaniment ,
the male choir told the audience that
"This Is a Mean World." A warning
to Sunday anglers was the tale of
"Simon the Fisherman," as related by

[East Stroudsburg Challenges Husky March to Perfect Season
SIDELINES
I
IN SPORTS . . .
Lycoming Trampled 47-0 by Huskies
In Final Home Contest of Season
"
by Curt Miller
Last week we forwarded the proposition that the Teacher 's Conference
adopt a point system in order to
crown a champion that has defeat ed
the best teams in the circuit , as well
as the most. Now, after doing a little
figuring with one of the systems in
vogue , we discover the sad fact that
Bloomsburg and California are still
tied for th e top position with an ac1cumulative average of .607. So, the
I point system isn't infallibl e, either—
¦
not that we ever thought , it was.
I California , we find , has played the
I same number of contests as the HuskB ics; its opponents have been victorI ious seven times, as have the Husky
I foes , and, carrying on from there, the
bare record shows that there is no
|
yardstick
by which we can measure
I
I the comparative strength of the two
teams. Bloomsburg has yielded fewer
points , 19 as compared to 47 for
California , but trails in the offensive
department with but 72 points to 107
for the California institution.
I However, should the Huskies def eat
I East Stroudsburg today, as we expect ,
! they will take over first place in the
point system with a mark of .810
which would exceed anything Calii
fornia can obtain even if it wins its
league game. This* would, of course,
bring to the front the principle behind
the point system—the best team wins.
East Stroudsburg ranks third in the
conference with a .506 average that
places them head and shoulders above
every other school, except West Chester which doesn't play enough games
to figure. California's opponent today
won 't have a record as good as that
of Stroudsburg and the Huskies will
autom atically win first place in this
point system of ours.
Should East Stroudsburg: win over
the Huskies, Bloomsburg will fall to
third place and California will relinquish first place to Stroudsburg.
It is quite improbable that the
point system will ever be adopted by
the conference (to our knowledge,
there isn't a college conference in the
land that uses anything but the winloss percentage as a basis for determining champions) but it is interesting to compile and speculate on what
would happen if it were in use.
Proof of the value of the system is
found in the wide difference in the
average of third place East Stroudsburg, .506, and that of Mansfield
which is only .201 though both schools
have the same won-Ioss totals. East
Stroudsburg has j ust defeated the
better teams—that's the explanation.
As a matter of interest , West Chester
has an accumulative total of .405 in
three victories , gaining most of their
points from East Stroudsburg which
bowed to them by u 14-7 margin.
With today 's game concluding the
season for the Huskies , we look forward with considerable interest to
the selection by them of an all opponent team, Last year 's voting did
not take place until well into the
basketball season , but we hope that.
Coach Redman will oblige us this
year with nn enrly announcement on
Ihe matter.
Most of our interest, naturally, will
ho focused on East Stroudsbtirg today,

school is sending to Mt. Olympus this

Appreciation Day
Attendance Is Small
As expected , the Huskies trampl ed
Lycoming College by a score of 47-0
before a disappointingly small crowd
at Athleti c Park last week. This victory extended the Huskies winning
streak to ei ght straight for the season
and assured th em of a place in
B.S.T.C. archives as the team turning
in the best record ever made by a
Maroon and Gold athletic team.
At no time in the gam e did Lycoming have a chance to win7 and
never was the Husky goal threatened.
A bright future for Bloomsburg football was shown by the fine performance of the reserves who played all
but a few minutes at the beginning of
each half .
Lang' Scores First
"Wit chaboo" Lang scored early in
the contest after Tom Donan recovered a blocked Lycoming kick on the
Warrior nine yard line. Johns ' attempted conversion was blocked, but
later events proved this to be of littl e
consequence .
The second Husky tally came on a
drive th at carried the ball from their
own io pay territory in only five
plays. Dan Parrel broke off tackle
and scurried seven yards for his first
touchdown of the afternoon .
At this point , Redman inserted his
reserves who demonstrated what a
splendidly finished team the Coach
has toiling for him.

fill a volume. Their much publicized
passing attack was good for a total
of eighty-three yards on eight completions, but six interceptions by the
Huskies resulted in severe losses. One
interception by Joe Hardy resulted in
another tou chdown for the Maroon
and Gold.
Three plays after the interception ,
Lang took the ball fr om center, fad ed
deep, and finally heaved the ball to
Ed Tavalsky who then produced one
of the most spectacular plays of the
day. Tackled and almost thrown to
the ground on the ten, Tavalsky lateraled to Don Peterson who went the
remaining distance to the goal. Johns
converted this time and the count
stood at 20-0.
Shortly before the end of the first
h a lf , Glenn Von Stetten broke off
tackle and scored from the twentyfour yard line after he had cut to the
r ight , reversed his field , and completely outmaneuvered the opposition.
Repeat Performance
The second half was practically a
repetition of the first. Donan recovered a Lycoming fumble on their
eighteen and six plays later Dan Parrell scored. With that , the varsity
retired for the remainder of the
game.
Soccer Team Takes On
Powerful Stroudsburg
After losing to Howard University
last Saturday by a 2-0 count , the
Bloomsburg booters yesterday encountered one of the best, if not t he
best , teams on the eastern seaboard—
East Stroudsburg.
This powerf ul aggregation has lost
but one game this season, and this
was to Lock Haven. It holds a 1-1
tie with West Chester and has defeated Rider College by a 2-1 score.
(Lo ck Haven, which marred a perfect
season for Stroud, h olds two victori es
over the Huskies.)
Jack Schalls and Jack Demick provide the scoring punch for the Warriors. Demick is rated as one of the
best soccer players to don the Red
and Black.
Last year the Huskies earned a
great distin ction by tripping the highly-rated team by a 4-3 score. Although the Huskies record is not too
impressive this year, this game pro mised to be the best of the season
because of the great rivalry between
the two schools.
Husky Booters Drop
Another to Howard U.
Th e Husky soccer team continues
to roll along in disastrous fashion , a
2-0 loss to Howard University being
the latest tragedy to the Wishermen
who have now dropped six games ana
won but one.
However, the Huskies were f ar
from disgra ced as they bowed to the
Washington school which boasts of
having one of the outstanding teams
in the nation. The Howard centerforward , Blake , is a native of Trinidad where soccer is played on a nation al scale.
This lad scored both goals against
the Huskies and is reputed to have
tallied sixty times last season. He is
performing this season for the firs t
time with Howard.
Another tough foe was met by
Bloomsburg yesterday in the East
Stroudsburg booters who had notched
five victories before visiting Mt.
Olympus.
A pass from Stonick to Jones was
good for a touchdown that was nullified because of a clipping penalty.
However, Jones, determined to obtain
six points, took another pass, this one
from Lang, and scored.
Only one touchdown was produced
by Bloomsburg in the final quarter,
but it too was set up by a pass interception , this one by Charlie Sweeney.
Von Stetten carried the ball over to
end the slaughter.

ACTION SHOT OF THE KUTZTOWN GAME
....
Win Will Assure
B.S.T.C. of Title
When the unbeaten , untied Huskies
meet the East Stroudsburg Warriors
on the latter's field today, they will
come up against some of the toughest
competition in State Teachers College
football. Although the Warriors have
been beaten in very close contests by
West Chester and Rider, they have
given a very good account of themselves throughout the season by rolling over Panzer, Millersville, and
Shippensburg, and tying Cortland.
Coach Eugene Martin 's aggregation
is without question paced by Jackie
Swartz, triple-threat quarterback and
one of the best all-around players in
the State Teachers College Conference. The most notable force on the
Warrior 's team is their forward wall,
averaging over 200 pounds. Another
player that the Huskies have to be
especially careful about is John
Whiteshead, who is rated one of the
best placement kickers in college circles. Whiteshead missed only two
extra points all year, one of which
was in the 6-7 loss to Rider College.
Mention should also be given to the
potential all-state guard John Petercuskie and to Big Walt Zarnowski a
powerful line player and fine defensive man.
The Warriors have dropped two
games in succession to Bloomsburg
by virtue of one point. In 1946, the
underdog Huskies scored late in the
game, and Mike Krepich converted
to give B.S.T.C. a 7-6 victory. Last
year, in a driving rain , the Huskies
roared back after trailing by two
touchdowns in the first half and behind the combined efforts of Danny
Parrell and Steve Kriss won the game
in the closing minutes by the score
of 13-12.
The tentative starting lineup of
Coach Redman 's charge is: Paternoster and Kreiser at ends ; Morgans
and Donan at tackles; Luchnick and
Mussoline at guards ; Maturani at
center; the backfield will probably
consist of Albano chirping signals at
quarterback; Apichello or Lang at
left halfback ; Steve Kriss at right
halfback; and Parrell or Reedy at
fullback.
As the Huskies take the field
against the Warriors today, they will
be gunning for their ninth straight
and most important victory. If they
defeat Stroudsburg today they will
have completed the most successful
football season in the history of
B.S.T.C. A victory today would make
the Huskies the top team in the state
and one of the top teams in the
nation. You can bet your bottom
dollar that they will be fighting from
the opening kick off until the final
whistle blows.
A large following from Bloomsburg
is expected to make the trip to East
Stroudsburg to see the Huskies in
their final battle for the mythical
State Teacher's College Conference
championship.

FASHION FLASHES
Snap, Snap . . .
Among the Amish of southern Pennsylvania, custom forbids young lads
and lasses to address each other publicly without first having had the benefit
of a sanctioned introduction. This makes flirting impossible — almost. But
you can find a loophole in any law if you try hard enough , and the young
men soon discovered that a snap of the fingers could be as eloquen t as any
spoken solicitation^ ^The young ladies were, in turn , cooperative and quickly
mastered the art of snapping back in the affirmative. Thus 'snapping' became
firmly established in the Amish tradition. This, incidentally, is also the story
behind the story on how the Millersville S.T.C. newspaper, "The Snapper ,"
got its name. It was borrowed from the Amish equivalent of gay blade.

Our National 'Weakness'
Everytime we turn around , it is a national week for appreciating or
preventing something or the other. At present we are on the tail-end of
National Flower Week. Last week we observed National Week for the
Prevention of Predictions made by Political Pollsters. What next week will
bring has not been announced. But, to be sure, it will not be allowed to slip
by unappreciated or unprevented. Sometime before all fifty-two are taken
up, we should set one aside as National Week for the Appreciation and
Prevention of Nothing in Particular, and that way live at least one week
of the year as normal human beings.

Did you ever stop to imagine what

women would clutter up stag parties,
and Jet's not o ven meniion what

As a mild example : The other
night I attended a little gel-together ,
and as u s u al , tin 1 women all gathered
in the living room, while the men retired to the kitchen -- We did too!
Well , anyway, there were four hunters in our group of fourteen , and l>y
the third drink , they had gained complete control of the conversation. And
there began one of the most gruelling
evenings of my life — nat urally, we
had to go with them ; there was nothing else to do.
In four hours, we covered ninetyseven miles, tramping through rain ,
sleet , and snow , over practically impassable country , shooting everything
in sight . By eleven-thirty, the kitchen
was a feather and powder - smoke
clouded packing house.
Feeling rather strongly the need of
u bracer , I crept stealthily, on all
fours , beneath screaming shot and
whining slugs, towards the table .
Deafened by rifle and shot gun fire ,
gagging on feathers , and blinded by
smoke , I groped my way over mounds
of heaped game. Reaching my des*
tination , I found what I was lookin g
for under a three-foot pile of dead
sq uirrels. I downed a stiff one and
straightened up to survey the situation. The furni shings were no longer
visible. The stove had been replaced
by a pyramid of rabbits, the refrigerator was draped with five or six
beautiful bucks, and the chairs that
my friends had been sitting on when
last seen had disappeared behind assorted piles of pheasants, grouse, and
wild ducks.
No longer able to stand the slaughter an d confu sion , I dashed madly,
thro ugh ankle - deep blood , to the
back door. With my remaining
strength , I shoveled away a stack of
ringnecks, and struggled out into the
night air , followed by stampeding
animals and flocks of escaping fowl.
I dragged myself wearily across the
porch and collapsed into the swing,
only to be shoved to the floor by a
dyi ng black bpar that had braton me
to it.
Pour me into the car , m other , and
take me home.

to "go out and live the principles of
democracy ," remembering that individuality o£ person is one of the rights
of democracy. As f uture teachers, the
students were cautioned to be especially mindful of dignity. The speaker
also mentioned the widely-scattered
graves of war victims as being shrines
for freedom-loving people. He paid
tribute to the war mothers, who also
suffered sacrifices. In closing, the
Rector emphasized the importance of
God in a free nation. His parting
thought was in the form of a verse,
"When we live, we live in clover;
When we di e, we live all over."
Taps were sounded by Mr. Luther
Jones, after which Miss Harriet M.
Moore led the college chorus in the
singing of "America, the Beautiful. "

College Represented
At Deans ' Conference
The twenty-eighth annual meeting
of the Pennsylvania Association of
Deans of Women was held at the
Penn Harris Hotel in Harrisburg,
November 5 and 6, with Deans Kehr
and Waldron representing B. S. T. C.
The theme of this 1948-49 convention
was concerning the report of the
President's Commission on Higher
Education.
Opening the program on Friday
was an address by Dr. Francis J.
Brown, staff associate, of the American Council on Education. Later the
representatives separated into various discussion groups on such matters as equal education for all , expansion of adult education , changes
in curriculum , and the use of intelligence tests.
Highlighting the two - day conference was an address made at the
banquet in the ballroom of the hotel
by Judge Dorothy Kenyon , U.S. Delegate to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, w.ho
spoke on "The United Nations—The
Hope of the World."
After a general session on Saturday morning, at which time reports
were read by Chairmen of the Discussion Groups, Dr. Horace Mann
Bond , President of Lincoln University, concluded the Association's program.
Mrs. Charles R. Beeman , of the
College art department, made the
final choice from the eight rooms
chosen by the judges. First place
went to the room occupied by Genevieve Krzywickl , Eleanor Poust, and
Nancy Wesneyak; second to the room
of Shirley Ashner and Lillian Mlkvy ;
and third place to the room of Marian Lake ' and Eloise Symons.
Other rooms receiving awards were
those of Berdine Logar and Mary
(Continued on page 4)
Music and laughs provided by the
members of the cast of the "St ardust Follies " were the sti m uli t h a t
kept Carver Hall auditorium resounding with applause to the very end of
the assembly program of Thursday
morning, November 4.
Don Maietta, who led the morning
devotions , introdu ced Johnny Lydon
as master of ceremonies for the program, which was directed by Charles
Edwards. Familiar to all, Johnny
disappointed no one as he kept the
show moving at a rapid pace by
interspersing bits of selected humor
at intervals throughout the performance.
Leading the array of music talent
was Isabel Bolinsky, who sang "J u st
for Now " and "I Don 't Know Why. "
Introd uced next were two people at
two pianos. Ruth Von Bergen and
Dick Wagner presented their interpretations of bi - keyboard arrangements of "Stormy Weather" and
"Pav a nne , " responding to the appl ause with "Kitten on the Keys."
Appearing in his production , Chas.
Edwards sang "Bluebird of Happiness" and "Maybe You'll Be There."
"Chuck" used "One Alone " as his
encore.
John Czerniakowski and John Lydon displayed their musical versatili ty as "Al Jolson " Czerniakowski
sang "Sonny Boy "—"aided and abetted by Sonny Boy," in the person of
Johnny Lydon. "Sonny, " in his bonnet and diaper and smoking a big
cigar, sat nervously on his "Daddy 's"
knee and interrupted him repeatedly,
adding much in the way of humor to
an otherwise blues song.
"Three boys and an accordion "
were featured in the last act of the
"Follies." Max Kaplan, Norman Kline,
and Andy Maceiko began their part
of the program with Andy accompanying Max and Norman as they
sang a medley of old-time tunes. A
dance routine added to the effectiveness of the medley, which included
"When You Wore a Tulip," "I Want
a Girl ," "Wait 'Til the Sun Shines,
Nellie," "Moonlight Bay, " and "That
Old Gan g of Mine." Maceiko was
next as he "squeezed out" three numbers in an expert manner. These were
a selection from the "Trieste Overture," "Clarinet Polka," and "Sharpshooters' March." Returning amid the
applause of the audience, Kaplan and
Kline sang a Max Kaplan original ,
entitled "Terry." As their final offering the boys presented an arrangement of "I'm a Big Boy Now " in
which each of the members of the
trio sang a novelty verse as a solo.
Johnny Lydon closed the program
by presenting the entire cast to the
audience , who indicated their approval by applauding enthusiastically.
Also deserving special mention are :
Ruth Von Bergen , who served as accompanist for the vocalists ; John
Brown , who capably handled the
spotlight; and , Dick Sager, who, from
the balcony, acted as a censor for the
j okes of the emcee (of whom he is a
close friend) by waving a red flag in
anticipation of an oncoming bit of
somewhat slightly tainted humor.
Local P.S.E.A. Group
Meets at College
A meeting of members from Columbia and Montour Counties of the
Pennsylvania State Education Association was held ' recently in the College Alumni Room. Miss Iva Mae
Van Scoyac, president of the P.S.E.A.
unit of the College, and members of
the faculty acted as hosts at the
meeting.
- Negro Choral Group Offers
Wide Variety of Selections
For about two hours on the evening
of November 9, the Carver Hall Auditorium was transplanted in the heart
of the "Deep South." Responsible for
the imaginary transportation was a
group of well-trained Negro singers,
the Eva Jessye Choir, who pleased
the audience from beginning to end
with a variety of selections. The
chorus was well - received and responded with several encores during
the program. Soloists appeared, singing leading roles in various numbers,
thereby proving the ability of the
individuals as well as of the group.
The opening part of the program
consisted of spirituals by the group.
The audience heard "Hail, Hail,
Hail !," "Plenty Good Room," "Carri
the K ey An ' Gone Home," "Lord ,
Hear Me Pray.' A soprano was featu red in "I Stan ' and For My Arms,"
and a baritone was next as he j oyou sly commen te d , "I Belong To That
Band." Dedicated to Fisk University,
the choir lamented that they "Couldn't Heai* Nobody Pray." From Gershwin 's "Porgy and Bess" was "Jes u s
Is Walkin ' on the Water. " "Tall
Angel" completed the spirituals of
the first portion of the performance.
Contralto and male choir received
the approval of the audience with
"My Jesus' Campground ," as did the
entire chorus for their premier performance of "Chronicle of Job." An
original work by Eva Jessye, with
piano score by Reginald Beane, and
narrated by a baritone, closed the
first half of the program.
Following a short intermission, the
choir returned with another Gershwin
tune, "I Can't Sit Down." Adding a
guitar to the piano accompaniment ,
the male choir told the audience that
"This Is a Mean World." A warning
to Sunday anglers was the tale of
"Simon the Fisherman," as related by

tied for th e top position with an ac1cumulative average of .607. So, the
I point system isn't infallibl e, either—
¦
not that we ever thought , it was.
I California , we find , has played the
I same number of contests as the HuskB ics; its opponents have been victorI ious seven times, as have the Husky
I foes , and, carrying on from there, the
bare record shows that there is no
|
yardstick
by which we can measure
I
I the comparative strength of the two
teams. Bloomsburg has yielded fewer
points , 19 as compared to 47 for
California , but trails in the offensive
department with but 72 points to 107
for the California institution.
I However, should the Huskies def eat
I East Stroudsburg today, as we expect ,
! they will take over first place in the
point system with a mark of .810
which would exceed anything Calii
fornia can obtain even if it wins its
league game. This* would, of course,
bring to the front the principle behind
the point system—the best team wins.
East Stroudsburg ranks third in the
conference with a .506 average that
places them head and shoulders above
every other school, except West Chester which doesn't play enough games
to figure. California's opponent today
won 't have a record as good as that
of Stroudsburg and the Huskies will
autom atically win first place in this
point system of ours.
Should East Stroudsburg: win over
the Huskies, Bloomsburg will fall to
third place and California will relinquish first place to Stroudsburg.
It is quite improbable that the
point system will ever be adopted by
the conference (to our knowledge,
there isn't a college conference in the
land that uses anything but the winloss percentage as a basis for determining champions) but it is interesting to compile and speculate on what
would happen if it were in use.
Proof of the value of the system is
found in the wide difference in the
average of third place East Stroudsburg, .506, and that of Mansfield
which is only .201 though both schools
have the same won-Ioss totals. East
Stroudsburg has j ust defeated the
better teams—that's the explanation.
As a matter of interest , West Chester
has an accumulative total of .405 in
three victories , gaining most of their
points from East Stroudsburg which
bowed to them by u 14-7 margin.
With today 's game concluding the
season for the Huskies , we look forward with considerable interest to
the selection by them of an all opponent team, Last year 's voting did
not take place until well into the
basketball season , but we hope that.
Coach Redman will oblige us this
year with nn enrly announcement on
Ihe matter.

Appreciation Day
Attendance Is Small
As expected , the Huskies trampl ed
Lycoming College by a score of 47-0
before a disappointingly small crowd
at Athleti c Park last week. This victory extended the Huskies winning
streak to ei ght straight for the season
and assured th em of a place in
B.S.T.C. archives as the team turning
in the best record ever made by a
Maroon and Gold athletic team.
At no time in the gam e did Lycoming have a chance to win7 and
never was the Husky goal threatened.
A bright future for Bloomsburg football was shown by the fine performance of the reserves who played all
but a few minutes at the beginning of
each half .
Lang' Scores First
"Wit chaboo" Lang scored early in
the contest after Tom Donan recovered a blocked Lycoming kick on the
Warrior nine yard line. Johns ' attempted conversion was blocked, but
later events proved this to be of littl e
consequence .
The second Husky tally came on a
drive th at carried the ball from their
own io pay territory in only five
plays. Dan Parrel broke off tackle
and scurried seven yards for his first
touchdown of the afternoon .
At this point , Redman inserted his
reserves who demonstrated what a
splendidly finished team the Coach
has toiling for him.

fill a volume. Their much publicized
passing attack was good for a total
of eighty-three yards on eight completions, but six interceptions by the
Huskies resulted in severe losses. One
interception by Joe Hardy resulted in
another tou chdown for the Maroon
and Gold.
Three plays after the interception ,
Lang took the ball fr om center, fad ed
deep, and finally heaved the ball to
Ed Tavalsky who then produced one
of the most spectacular plays of the
day. Tackled and almost thrown to
the ground on the ten, Tavalsky lateraled to Don Peterson who went the
remaining distance to the goal. Johns
converted this time and the count
stood at 20-0.
Shortly before the end of the first
h a lf , Glenn Von Stetten broke off
tackle and scored from the twentyfour yard line after he had cut to the
r ight , reversed his field , and completely outmaneuvered the opposition.
Repeat Performance
The second half was practically a
repetition of the first. Donan recovered a Lycoming fumble on their
eighteen and six plays later Dan Parrell scored. With that , the varsity
retired for the remainder of the
game.
Soccer Team Takes On
Powerful Stroudsburg
After losing to Howard University
last Saturday by a 2-0 count , the
Bloomsburg booters yesterday encountered one of the best, if not t he
best , teams on the eastern seaboard—
East Stroudsburg.
This powerf ul aggregation has lost
but one game this season, and this
was to Lock Haven. It holds a 1-1
tie with West Chester and has defeated Rider College by a 2-1 score.
(Lo ck Haven, which marred a perfect
season for Stroud, h olds two victori es
over the Huskies.)
Jack Schalls and Jack Demick provide the scoring punch for the Warriors. Demick is rated as one of the
best soccer players to don the Red
and Black.
Last year the Huskies earned a
great distin ction by tripping the highly-rated team by a 4-3 score. Although the Huskies record is not too
impressive this year, this game pro mised to be the best of the season
because of the great rivalry between
the two schools.
Husky Booters Drop
Another to Howard U.
Th e Husky soccer team continues
to roll along in disastrous fashion , a
2-0 loss to Howard University being
the latest tragedy to the Wishermen
who have now dropped six games ana
won but one.
However, the Huskies were f ar
from disgra ced as they bowed to the
Washington school which boasts of
having one of the outstanding teams
in the nation. The Howard centerforward , Blake , is a native of Trinidad where soccer is played on a nation al scale.
This lad scored both goals against
the Huskies and is reputed to have
tallied sixty times last season. He is
performing this season for the firs t
time with Howard.
Another tough foe was met by
Bloomsburg yesterday in the East
Stroudsburg booters who had notched
five victories before visiting Mt.
Olympus.
A pass from Stonick to Jones was
good for a touchdown that was nullified because of a clipping penalty.
However, Jones, determined to obtain
six points, took another pass, this one
from Lang, and scored.
Only one touchdown was produced
by Bloomsburg in the final quarter,
but it too was set up by a pass interception , this one by Charlie Sweeney.
Von Stetten carried the ball over to
end the slaughter.

ACTION SHOT OF THE KUTZTOWN GAME
....
Win Will Assure
B.S.T.C. of Title
When the unbeaten , untied Huskies
meet the East Stroudsburg Warriors
on the latter's field today, they will
come up against some of the toughest
competition in State Teachers College
football. Although the Warriors have
been beaten in very close contests by
West Chester and Rider, they have
given a very good account of themselves throughout the season by rolling over Panzer, Millersville, and
Shippensburg, and tying Cortland.
Coach Eugene Martin 's aggregation
is without question paced by Jackie
Swartz, triple-threat quarterback and
one of the best all-around players in
the State Teachers College Conference. The most notable force on the
Warrior 's team is their forward wall,
averaging over 200 pounds. Another
player that the Huskies have to be
especially careful about is John
Whiteshead, who is rated one of the
best placement kickers in college circles. Whiteshead missed only two
extra points all year, one of which
was in the 6-7 loss to Rider College.
Mention should also be given to the
potential all-state guard John Petercuskie and to Big Walt Zarnowski a
powerful line player and fine defensive man.
The Warriors have dropped two
games in succession to Bloomsburg
by virtue of one point. In 1946, the
underdog Huskies scored late in the
game, and Mike Krepich converted
to give B.S.T.C. a 7-6 victory. Last
year, in a driving rain , the Huskies
roared back after trailing by two
touchdowns in the first half and behind the combined efforts of Danny
Parrell and Steve Kriss won the game
in the closing minutes by the score
of 13-12.
The tentative starting lineup of
Coach Redman 's charge is: Paternoster and Kreiser at ends ; Morgans
and Donan at tackles; Luchnick and
Mussoline at guards ; Maturani at
center; the backfield will probably
consist of Albano chirping signals at
quarterback; Apichello or Lang at
left halfback ; Steve Kriss at right
halfback; and Parrell or Reedy at
fullback.
As the Huskies take the field
against the Warriors today, they will
be gunning for their ninth straight
and most important victory. If they
defeat Stroudsburg today they will
have completed the most successful
football season in the history of
B.S.T.C. A victory today would make
the Huskies the top team in the state
and one of the top teams in the
nation. You can bet your bottom
dollar that they will be fighting from
the opening kick off until the final
whistle blows.
A large following from Bloomsburg
is expected to make the trip to East
Stroudsburg to see the Huskies in
their final battle for the mythical
State Teacher's College Conference
championship.

FASHION FLASHES
Snap, Snap . . .
Among the Amish of southern Pennsylvania, custom forbids young lads
and lasses to address each other publicly without first having had the benefit
of a sanctioned introduction. This makes flirting impossible — almost. But
you can find a loophole in any law if you try hard enough , and the young
men soon discovered that a snap of the fingers could be as eloquen t as any
spoken solicitation^ ^The young ladies were, in turn , cooperative and quickly
mastered the art of snapping back in the affirmative. Thus 'snapping' became
firmly established in the Amish tradition. This, incidentally, is also the story
behind the story on how the Millersville S.T.C. newspaper, "The Snapper ,"
got its name. It was borrowed from the Amish equivalent of gay blade.

Everytime we turn around , it is a national week for appreciating or

National Flower Week. Last week we observed National Week for the
Prevention of Predictions made by Political Pollsters. What next week will
bring has not been announced. But, to be sure, it will not be allowed to slip
by unappreciated or unprevented. Sometime before all fifty-two are taken
up, we should set one aside as National Week for the Appreciation and
Prevention of Nothing in Particular, and that way live at least one week
of the year as normal human beings.

Did you ever stop to imagine what

As a mild example : The other
night I attended a little gel-together ,
and as u s u al , tin 1 women all gathered
in the living room, while the men retired to the kitchen -- We did too!
Well , anyway, there were four hunters in our group of fourteen , and l>y
the third drink , they had gained complete control of the conversation. And
there began one of the most gruelling
evenings of my life — nat urally, we
had to go with them ; there was nothing else to do.
In four hours, we covered ninetyseven miles, tramping through rain ,
sleet , and snow , over practically impassable country , shooting everything
in sight . By eleven-thirty, the kitchen
was a feather and powder - smoke
clouded packing house.
Feeling rather strongly the need of
u bracer , I crept stealthily, on all
fours , beneath screaming shot and
whining slugs, towards the table .
Deafened by rifle and shot gun fire ,
gagging on feathers , and blinded by
smoke , I groped my way over mounds
of heaped game. Reaching my des*
tination , I found what I was lookin g
for under a three-foot pile of dead
sq uirrels. I downed a stiff one and
straightened up to survey the situation. The furni shings were no longer
visible. The stove had been replaced
by a pyramid of rabbits, the refrigerator was draped with five or six
beautiful bucks, and the chairs that
my friends had been sitting on when
last seen had disappeared behind assorted piles of pheasants, grouse, and
wild ducks.
No longer able to stand the slaughter an d confu sion , I dashed madly,
thro ugh ankle - deep blood , to the
back door. With my remaining
strength , I shoveled away a stack of
ringnecks, and struggled out into the
night air , followed by stampeding
animals and flocks of escaping fowl.
I dragged myself wearily across the
porch and collapsed into the swing,
only to be shoved to the floor by a
dyi ng black bpar that had braton me
to it.
Pour me into the car , m other , and
take me home.
