B.S.T.C. added another football
laurel to its collection last week when
four Huskies were named on the Associated Press All - Teachers College
Conference eleven. Tom Donan , tackle; Elmer Kreiser, end; and Joe
Apichella, qu arterback , were named
on t he firs t t eam , with Frank Luchni ck , guard, on the second. Donan ,
compiling the highest number of
vot es, won the honorary captaincy.
Heavy balloting and close competition marked the annual poll of
coaches and sports writers covering
the thirteen colleges in the mythical
Teachers College Conference. Each
of the colleges had at least one player named on the first or second team.
Only Bloomsburg placed three men
on the first team. California, the
"farm" school team, captured two
posts, with Earle Mundell at halfback, and Tom Pevaraik at guard.
In the backfield with Apichella and
Mundell were Eddie Siemasko, Kutztown fullback ; and Ken Bailey, Clarion halfback. Kreiser is teamed at
end with West Chester's defensive
ace, Sonny Leonard. Donan 's running
mate was Tackle Ray McCarthy,
Slippery Rock. Shields , of Shippensburg, took the center spot.

Business Ed. Club Has
Manv Plans For Year

The Business Education Club held
its third regular meeting in the form
of a wiener roast on Mt. Olympus ,
November 8th , at 7:30 P.M. President Wilmer Nester presided at the
business meeting, at which plans
were discussed as to the possibility
of publishing a year book to be named "The Business Education Club
Annual. " A committee selected to
work on the annual included Mary
Fox, Chairman : Sara Graham ; Lillian
Mlkvy ; Charles Roberts; Richard
Hollis; and Richard Kline.
A committee composed of Peggy
Suchy, Chairman ; Mary Ann Alarcon ; Joan Grazel; Glenn Koplin; John
Shanahan ; and Bruce Ertwj ne was
appointed to plan the annual Christmas Party.

Hypnotism was the subj ect of an
unusually long, but thoroughly enj oyable, assembly program on Tuesd ay, November 16. *Mr. Marsh Babbit t, a noted lecturer on hypnotism,
made a few introductory remarks
before his demonstration. He mentioned the use of hypnosis in treatment of psycho-neurotic cases during
wartime. All of us are susceptible,
to a degree to suggestion; but, hypnosis is a device used to focus suggestion to one point.
Several items were clarified by the
lecturer before volunteer subj ects
were called from the audience. Mr.
Babbitt explained that hypnosis is
not a matter of will power—a stronger will dominating a weaker one, but
that the subj ect must be entirely
willing to be hypnotized .
A number of volunteers were given
a simple test for responsiveness to
suggestion; eighteen were selected to
begin the demonstration presented on
the auditorium stage.
The three varieties of hypnotic
state induced by suggestion were outlined at this point. Intensification,
reduction , and distortion were illustrated by members of the group
throughout the program.
Laughs rippled through the audience as a group of seven subj ects,
singled out from the larger group,

That the Huskies would play no
post-season football game, with the
exception of a bowl game "under
favorable conditions ," was the decision made by the team and coaching
staff. After the Huskies attained an
undefeated , untied record for the
1948 season to tie the once-defeated
California Teachers for the mythical
title in Pennsylvania Teachers College compe tition , sports en t h u siasts
felt th at these two schools should
meet to decide the championship.
In a stat ement t o the press , Dean
Hoch , Director of Public Relations
and assistant coach , claimed that
Bloomsburg should be the unchallenged champi on. He stated that
California's team is really a freshman
team , made up largely of Penn State
players, and is, therefore , not to be
classed with the teams in a four-year
curriculum.
In a telegram to E. H. Cubbons,
Athletic Director at the Western
Pennsylvania college, Hoch , as a
spokesman for the College, said that
"B.S.T.C. feels that nothing will be
gained by a post-season game with
California."
Concerning the controversy, a Penn
State official said, "Freshman students are sent to the different colleges according to their curriculum.
California caters to physical education students and, therefore, the maj ority of athletes are sent there."
Through Dean Hoch's releases to
the Associated Press, B.S.T.C. and
its championship ball club has received the attention of many metropolitan newspapers and various other
papers throughout the nation.
responded to a suggestion to take a
shower. After "drying " themselves,
several began to "don their clothing,"
which, of course, they had not removed.
The analgesic effect of hypnosis
and post-hypnotic suggestion were
also demonstrated by Babbitt in the
course of the program.
Releasing the subj ects from the
effects of hypnosis, Mr. Babbitt spent
several minutes answering questions
posed by members of the audience.

First Perf ect Season
In History of College

The football team that represented
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
on the gridiron this season is undoubtedly the most outstanding in
the history of the College. This powerful eleven, which tied California .
Teachers for the mythical conference
ti tle, boasts an unblemished record of
nine victories without a defeat.
Under the clever leadership of
Coach Robert Redman, who has recorded an outstanding record of fifteen victories in seventeen starts
since taking over the coaching duties
at Bloomsburg, the single-winged
eleven rose to heights never before
achieved by a Husky football squad.
The Huskies opened their schedule
against a heavy Wilkes College eleven at Berwick. Although no one was
amazed at the outcome of the tilt,
the Husky squad gave indication of
thg power they were to show throughout the season. "Dapper Dan" Parr ell' s plunging and Steve Kriss' passing highlighted this opening contest.
A week later "Redman's Wreckers "
avenged 1946's defeat by Mansfield
with a stinging 7-0 victory. The powerful charging of the Husky forward
wall , led by Tommy Donan, paved
the way for Bloomsburg's Victory
No. 2.
At Lock Haven, the Huskies defeated the Bald Eagles in a rough
contest, 6-0. Joey Apichella skirted
his own right end in the final period
for the only score of the game.
B.S.T.C. welcomed King's College
back on their schedule with a decisive
26-0 defeat. The complete Husky
squad saw action in this one-sided
affair.
At this stage of the season , before
the Millersville game, the Huskies
were undefeated, untied, and unscored upon.
It's history now, but the Millersville game, played at Columbia, was
the Maroon and Gold's first real test
of the year. True, the previous games
were hard-fought, but M.S.T.C. was
the first team that made the "boys
from Bloom" come from behind, and
the Huskies did j ust that with a 2012 victory. Southern Pennsylvania
people are still talking about the
brilliant running of Hazleton 's Dan
Parrell, that led the Bloomsburg
Teachers to their fifth straigh t win.
Next, the Maroon and Gold travelled to Shippensburg to face a powerful Greyhound team that held one of
the two defeats of B.S.T.C. in 1947.
The Huskies faced a stubborn outfit
that rainy day, but Georgie Paternoster pulled the game out of the fire
with ju st four minutes to go with a
beautiful running catch of a Krissthrown pass.
The Huskies powered to their seventh straight victory over Kutztown
before a Homecoming Day crowd of
3,000. Scoring in each of the four
periods, the Teachers showed great
reserve power by swamping the Golden Avalanche, 27-0.
The squad had a real breather in
Lycoming. The lads from Williamsport were never in the game. Coach
Bob Redman used his first outfit only
in the first quarter , but the Maroon
and Gold showed as much power as
the varsity by scoring in every period
to mount the score to 47-0.
The Husk|p<* completed their undefeated season by overpowering East
Stroudsburg, 14P 0. It was quite evident again that the Teachers Confer( Contimifiri on page 3)

A Tribut e . . . .
The question last week was, "Ei ght down and one to go—cou ld
the Huskies do it?"
This week beyond the question of doubt , that question has been
answered an d answered very convincing ly, too, as anyone who witnessed the game will inform you.
From San Francisco, California , to North Carolina , to Princeton ,
New Jer sey, the powerful Huskies of B.S.T.C. are the piece de resistance of the sports headlines; and , without a doubt , they are deserving of it all. For, any team that has the grit , determination , and
ability to powerhouse wins over nine consecutive opponents of the
caliber of East Stroudsburg > S.T.C. are certain ly worth y of any
laurels that may be heaped upon them.
In heaping glory on the Husk y team , h owever , we should not
forget that old Chinese proverb, "Behin d an able man there are always
able men. " For , indeed, behind our own gridiron squad , we have
one of the most capable coaching staffs in little collegiate football
today. In Coach Bob Redman , who came from New York State to
take over the helm of the Husky squa d two years ago , B.S.T.C. has
a shrewd and capable tactician and one who is well deserving of any
credit that may be bestowed upon him. In Dean John Hoch , Assistant
Coach of the Husk y squa d , one will find a well-liked and capable
assistant w h o h as not on ly proved his worth on the coaching staff ,
but has also helped to spread the fame and fortune of B.S.T.C. in
the sporting world throug h his position as Publicity Director of the
College. Rounding out the coaching staff are Richard Hallisy and
Matt Maley, backfield and line coach , respectively, for the Huskies ,
who thoug h newcomers to the Husky staff, are meritous of much
praise for their diligence and efforts in bring ing to Bloomsburg their
first undefeated season in the history of the school.
And , most important of all , President Andruss and his administrative staff who have been of inestimable assistance in everything
that has been accomplished here at the "hilltop college. "
Over a span of two years of Redman - Hoch leadership, the
Huskies have compiled an enviable record of fifteen wins against only
two defeats. This is a record that any major collegiate power would
well be proud of , just as we here at Bloomsburg are.

At th e present time , ther e is a 1

to provide for the addition of a fifth

by the teachers colleges or in co- |

Would the addition of fourteen

the obligation of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania to its post high
school youth ?
Many other questions flow from
th e answers which we give to the
foregoing.
If state teachers colleges add general education to their present offering these questions naturally follow :
(1) Would selection for teacher
education at the end of the
Junior year insure better candidates for teaching than at
the beginning of a four-year
college curriculum ?
(2) Would two years of general
education before selection be
followed by two or three years
of teacher education
(3) If five years of teacher education based on two years or
general education , are required, when does the young teacher begin to teach ? At the end
of the fourth or fifth year ?
(4) Should the present cooperative
p r o g r a m existing between
Pennsylvania State College and
the State Teachers Colleges be
extended from one year to two
years in the field of liberal
arts as basic preparation for
later specialization in teacher
education ?
(5) If students now matriculating
at Pennsylvania State College
so as to attend state teachers
colleges for one year as Freshmen should continue to attend
state teachers colleges for two
years, what would be the effect
of such an arrangement on
undergraduate instruction In

by Curt Miller

The Huskies have voted not to play
California , and th at's that. The reasons are many, and they are sound , so
there should be no disdain on the
part of the Husky boosters who had
anticipated stfch a post-season meeting between the two schools which
so decisively dominated the conference scene this season. We still consider our Huskies the best in the
leag u e, th e Penn State frosh notwithst anding, and regret that they don 't
see fit to end this question of supremacy once and f or all;

There is still the slim chance of a
bowl bid coming our way, and chances are good that the players won't
look with disfavor on the acceptance
of such an offer. The Huskies are
considerably put out about the monopoly which West Chester appears to
have on the Burley Bowl. With good
reason. The record of six and one
compiled by the Rams is certainly
not as deserving of attention as the
nine and zero of Bloomsburg. However, bowl officials have been known
to select the worst possible attractions for their patrons. Remember
the Rose Bowl pact with the Big
Nine, which disregarded a truly great
Army team willing and able to meet
the best ?
If football is gone from the scene
in Bloomsburg, there certainly should
be no wailing over anything that has
happened, or will happen. The Huskies turned in a record second to none
in the country, and one that might
be matched , but never passed, by future Husky teams. They have attained a goal that future squads will be
striving: to reach constantly, and by
doing so, the future of football at
Bloomsburg will continue to remain
on a high plane.

Wishermen Score 2-1 Upset Over
Stroudsburg in Last Game of Season

IN SPORTS . . .

We readily confess that we were
among the more zealous rooters who
had gone overboard on the proposed
battle between the two titans, but
with tiling's as they are, we don't
believe any amount of debate on our
part could overshadow the rebuttal of
the fellows who have to do the playing, we might add.

Powerful Opponent Falls
Before Husky Drive

Turning Tn one of the maj or upsets
of the current season , the underrated Huskies nipped a powerful
Stroudsburg team in their annual
soccer tilt. The game was played
Fr id ay, November 12, on Mt. Olympus.
Both teams played on an even par
f or the fir st h alf , with neither team
mustering ' enough pun ch to score.
There were several scoring opportuni t ies , but neither team was successful. Buddy Hartman , a Husky player,
narrowly missed a goal, as he drove
a lining shot which was, unfortunately, blocked by the Stroud goalie.
Returning to the third quarter with
renewed vigor, the powerful machine
of Stroudsburg finally showed the
form that has led them through a
near-perfect season , being defeated
only by Lock Haven S.T.C. Spencer
took a beautiful crossover, after the
Bloom defense was drawn out of
position , and dribbled unmolested for
a clear shot which resulted in a
score.
Trailing by a 1-0 score, the Bloom
booters started to move late in the
third quarter. After several unsuccessful tries at the goal, Hartman t ook
a cross pass at it , and, f aking the
goalie , easily scored for the Huskies.
With the start of the last quarter,
the score stood at 1-1. Then the alert
official caught an infraction of the
rules by a Stroud player inside the
penalty area. This gave Bloom a free
penalty kick. At this point , Getchy,
a standout player all season for the
Huskies , kicked a vicious liner which
the Stroud goalie could not stop. This
gave the Huskies the margin needed
for victory; although the Warriors

waning minutes, they were unable to
tie the count.
This game ended a not-too successful season, but it was a great victory
for Coach Wisher and his team.

Safety in First Quarter
East Stroudsburg was placed in the
hole early in the contest when Apichella punted to the three-yard line
where Swartz was downed in his
tracks by Georgie Paternoster who
played his last, and perhaps, best
football game of his collegiate career.
The Warriors punted to their own
thirty-five from where, after three
plays had only netted four yards;
Apichella punted to the five. Swartz
gained two yards for Stroudsburg on
a line buck, but on the next play he
fumbled when viciously tackled by
Tommy Donan. The ball was recovered in the end zone by Stroudsburg,
thus preventing a Husky touchdown,
but giving the rampaging Bloomsburgers a 2-0 edge. The die was now

rates more attention from sports
scribes than he has been given during
his span of playing, but, as said before, the Huskies are good all around
in more ways than ability alone, and
every man on the squad deserves the
plaudits of the student body.
Bloomsburg is unquestionably the
champion in this mythical State
Teachers College Conference and no
amount of argument can change this
fact. Perhaps, as a result of this
week's events, something might be
done to change this mythical status
of the Teachers Colleges. It should
be done, and regulations set up before another season 's start that govern such incidents as co-champions.
A co-champion is unheard of in baseball. Why should such situations be
allowed to develop in football ? If
post-season contests cannot find a
place on the calendar of events when
a schedule is drawn up, then the
point system should be adopted. But
that is neither here nor there, now.
What stands out is the fact that the
fellows who wear the pads and moleskins do not consider the inconveniences that arise worth the risk of
inj ury merely to claim something
that is mythical anyway. And , it
isn't , when you look at it properly.
Again wo say, Bloomsburg- is THE
champion and deserves to bo recognized as such. Wo hope » bowl bid is

Barking up the Right Tree . . .
For the past nine weeks we barked loud and long for an undefeated
football season, and row we have it. So to all the bygone barks add another
three, more rousing than any before, for a team tha t played the game to
the hilt through every second in every one of the five hundred and forty
minutes it spen t on the playing field. It wasn 't a team that flashed alternately hot and cold, nor was it a team that played for the breaks. From
the opening kick-off against Wilkes to the final whistle at East Stroudsburg,
they gave the game everything they had. Consistency is the mark of distinction that separates the great from the good, and the Huskies were great
in every sense of the word. We of the student body owe a debt of deep
gra titude and respect to the team and the coaching staff whose indomitable
will to win pla ced the colors Maroon and Gold upon a page in the ledger
of the Champions of 1948.
* * * * *
In the Spirit of the Occasion . . .
The football season was brought to an end with a fine gesture of support
from the student body. The laxity of interest that marked some of the
earlier games was more than made up by the turn-out at East Stroudsburg.
Groups of rooters from College Hill were crowded into every bit of bleacher
space available to them; others stood along both sides of the wind-swept
field, undaunted by fhe wet ground and the worst the wind had to offer.
With an undefeated football team and a victory holiday at stake, the esprit
de corps of B.S.T.C. surged to a new high.

The Shmoos are off . . .
The eyes of an anxious world are centered on Dogpatch, U.S.A., where
the race of the millenium is being run. As we go to press, the Sadie Hawkin 's contestants are breaking away from the starting line, and from here on
in anything can happen. Gravest concern is being shown over the outcome
of the "girl-shmoo vs. boy-shmoo" part of the race. If the girl-shmoo can
catch the boy-shmoo, the economic troubles of the world are over. Also,
what about Li'l Abner ? And what will happen to the beauties from Lower
Slobbovia ? The only person h appy about it all is Marryin' Sam, who has
everything to gain and nothing to lose. The rest of us can do nothing but

True to His Word . . .
Among instructors employing the unusual to put life into lectures is a
chemistry professor at the University of Oklahoma who lectures on chemical equilibrium while doing a headstand on his desk. This lecture aid has
become an indispensible demonstration in the prof's introd uctory chemistry
course, and no doubt succeeds in getting the point across in an extremely
convincing manner. This same professor is also wont to tell his classes that
they should expect a surprise quiz any day he happens to enter the lecture
hall through the transom. As might be expected , t hi s anno u nc ement is
laughingly taken as a j oke. However, later in the semester, as it invariably
happens, there is no laughter when he does crawl through the transom and
immediately begins to distribute quiz papers to an astonished class.

College life seems to be getting back to the pre-war goldfish standard ,
the lush era of the fur-coated frat brothers who specialized more in publicity
stunts than academic achievement. With the college-born fad of eating
grasshoppers still echoing in the press, another psychology student has
again set the balT rolling. This time it's a Marshall College lad who has
offered to marry any woman in the country for $100,000. Apparently there
is a method in his madness, for he has so far had three offers from women
who are willing to pay a hundred grand for a husband. Sometimes you
wonder if there is really a great distance separatin g the lecture hall
from the acorn bin. Methinks there is not.

of the period. Apichella drove offtackle to make the first down on the
East Stroudsburg twenty-four.
An end run by Apichella brought
the ball to the eleven. A two-yard
gain by Kriss, an incompleted forw ard pass, and a run to the oneryard
marker by Kriss set the stage for
Parrell to plunge over for the first
Husky touchdown , making the score
8-0. Johns' attempted conversion was
blocked.
,
Th ere was no further scoring in
this period; the play was dominated
by a punting duel between - Apichella
and Slobozien of the Huskies and
Swartz of Stroudsburg. An East
Stroudsburg threat was squelched on
the Bloomsburg twenty-eight where
Linkchorst intercepted a pass. Lang
almost got away for a score on the
first play after this interception , but
slipped to the turf on the forty-six.
Three plays later, the half ended with
the ball on the • Stroudsburg thirtyeight.
E. Stroudsburg March Halted
The third period opened with an
exchange of punts that gained considerable yardage for East Stroudsburg. The Warriors then drove as far
as the Husky thirty-yard line, where
Swartz again fumbled to end the last
big penetration into Husky territory.
The Redman charges took over and

when pay-dirt was reached. Lang
wiggled through to the forty-three.
Parrell made a firit down on the

path with a six-yard gain to the
Stroudsburg forty-seven. Kriss made
one yard to the forty-eight and Parrell piled through center for a first
down on the fifty-three.
A five-yard penalty for taking too
much time set the Huskies back , but
Lang regained the lost yardage by
moving the ball back to the fortythree. From here , Kriss charged
through a tackle slot for twelve yards
for a first down on the twenty-six.
He then proceeded to plow his way
through all defenders of the coveted
goal until he was caught on the five.
Parrell lost two on a hand-off from
Kriss and was replaced by Jim Reedy,
who drove off-tackle for the score.

Huskies Dominate the Ball
Bloomsburg dominated play in the
fourth period with East Stroudsburg
running only eight plays. Another
probable Husky touchdown was averted in this period by a fumble on
ther Stroudsburg nine-yard line after
a march that had started on the
Bloomsburg forty - one eleven plays
earlier.
Shortly after this, George Paternoster was inj ured for the second
time of the afternoon and was forced

The History of

THANKSGIVI NG
by Marie Mattls
In 1621 the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth realized that disaster was
threatening their crops. Religious
people, they gathered together and
prayed for deliverance from their
hardships and trials. Within a short
time it rained; the crops recovered
and the Pilgrims were rewarded with
a liberal harvest. In gratitude to God
they set aside a day for thanksgiving.
On this day they prayed, rej oiced,
and feasted. Tradition tells us that
the settlers invited the neighboring
Indians to share their feast after the
Indians had contributed something to
the repast.
What the feast consisted of , we
cannot be sure. Everyone likes to
believe that turkey and pumpkin pie
were among the banquet foods. It is
quite ' certain that the Indians had
roasted whole pumpkins until they
became almost j uicy. Perhaps a wise
Pilgrim woman made a crust and
filled it with the substance, thus
making a pastry similar to our pumpkin pie.
During the Revolutionary War the
Continental Congress set aside one or
more days for thanksgiving each
year , except in 1777. In 1789, President Washington appointed a "day of
public thanksgiving and prayer." Later , at the close of the War of 1812,
President Madison set aside such a
day. By 1858, governments of twenty
five states had proclaimed days for
thanksgiving. Finally, in 1863, President Lincoln declared the day an
official national feast. Since then
every president has followed his example by proclaiming the day every
year.
This year will mark the 327th year
since the first Thanksgiving Day. On
the last Thursday in November the
day will be observed in various ways.
Religious services will be held in
churches. In New England the holiday will be a great festival celebrated
with the same sp irit wi t h which
Christmas is celebrated. Then there
will be the eating of the annual
Thanksgiving Dinner, especially the
turkey with its trimmings and the
pumpkin pie. And when the celebra tion is over, those who are really
grateful will say as the Pilgrims said
after their first harvest , "Thank you,
Lord."
in possession of the ball on East
Stroudsburg thirty-five.
Blocked Kick Provides Thrill
The rugged Husky line that yielded
only nineteen points in the nine victories proved early in the game that
it was going to be a big factor in
deciding the outcome. With the ball
on its own one - yard line, East
Stroudsburg attempted to punt , but
the Husky line surged through to
block the kick which was recovered
in midair by a Warrior who was
downed on the four-yard line.
