Fifteen New Models
To Appear in Annual
Fashion Show April 29

The annual Fashion Show will be
held this year Friday evening, April
29, at eight o'clock , in Carver Hall
Auditorium. Twenty models are being selected, and will be trained during the next month. The Fashion Coordinator is Nancy Wesenyak , and
Chairman of Store Coordinators is
Betty Ridall. Because a number of last year's
models have been graduated or left
school for various other reasons, fifteen new models have been chosen on
the basis of appearance, personality,
poise, size, and color of hair. Short
hair-do's will be an outstanding factor in the j udging.
The setting this year is planned as
a living room, and the activities will
center around the daily life of a family.
An outstanding feature of last
year 's show was a wool wedding party f urnished by the International
Wool Secretariat of New York and
London. Mr, Henrie announced that
this year 's feature will be j ust as outstanding, if not more spectacular , but
because the details are not yet worked out , the event is being saved as a
surprise.
To add to the variety, small children will be used in the show again
this year.

Health Institute Held
In Science Hall
A School Health Institute held in
Science Hall, March 9, discussed
health problems of Columbia and
Montour counties, and was attended
by doctors, dentists , nurses, school officials , and representatives from all
organizations interested in child
health. The conference was j ointly
sponsored by the Berwick borough ,
and the Montour and Columbia County schools.
State Health Department officials
were present to outline procedures to
be followed in executing the school
health program ,as provided by acts
passed recently by the Pennsylvania
General Assembly. The requirements
were set forth for employment of
school nurses, the establishment of
Advisory Health Councils, and for
medical aid for the needy.

Hal Rodman, Ex-Holl ywo o d
Make-Up Man, Demonstrates
Methods in March 8 Program

Attending the first annual Eastern
Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Theatre
Conference held at Wilkes College,
March 12 and 13, were : Faculty
member Miss Alice Johnson , and students Audrey Terrel , Charles Schiefer, Robert Sickinger, and Max Kaplan .
The conference was sponsored by
the Cue 'N' Curtain Club of Wilkes
College. Its purpose was to discuss
the establishment of a permanent
College Theatre group. The idea of
interchanging methods of fostering
community interest in off-Broadway
theatrical productions was the main
point of the confab's discussion.
It was generally felt by the attending conferees that most college
groups offer the vitality, integrity,
and enthusiasm needed to restock
and revitalize the American Theatre ;
that interdependence of college theatre groups is highly desirable as a
tremendous source of encouragement
for experimental stage productions,
the development of new talent , and
the presentation of new plays ; and
lastly, that today, when so many gaps
in understanding exist between human beings and their relationships
with other human beings, is the proper time to lay the foundations of an
intercollegiate theatre program that
can do much to reduce these fractures and add new blood to the American Theatre.
The principal speakers at the conference were Rosamond Gilder , last
year's recipient of the Antoinette
Perry Award for the outstanding

"Portraits in Makeup " provided
both amusement and amazement for
the college community at the assembly program of March 8. Mr. Hal
Rodman , former Hollywood make-up
artist, presented a demonstration lecture that was entertaining as well as
interesting. Throughout the course of
the program, the speaker explained
th e various methods as he employed
them in creating astonishing changes
of countenance upon the student models who participated.
Stating that "ladies are very familiar with makeup, while men only
come in contact with it occasionally,' Obiter Songstresses
Mr. Rodman selected five men from
the audience to "assist" him. To these
students he promised more fun
through the medium of participation ,
no intentional ridicule, and application of nothing "that cannot be removed with emery paper."
D an Parr ell , Dick Ledyard, and
Larry Mussoline were chosen as the
subj ects for. the creation of a "Gay
Nineties Tintype.' This effect was
produced through the use of powder,
rouge, eyebrow pencil, false moustaches, wigs, and hats that were
reminiscent of the period represented. Parrell was topped with a straw
hat , Ledyard with a topper, and Mussoline with a bowler. The final portrait was greeted with a mixture of
applause and laughter as were the
various stages of development thruout the task.

A brief review of the previous two ~ ,
Spring Sales' Conferences was given ^
by Mr. Charles Henri e as he opened ]^^>
the program of this year's presenta- , \ \
tion on the evening of March 10. in
the auditorium of ' Carver Hall, j •
Speaking before a large gathering of _ *
students and regional businessmen,
Mr. Henrie also extended greetings
to th e group. A few words of welcome were added by Dr. Harvey A!
Andru ss, President of the college, as
he reaffirmed his interest in business
education, stating that "the biggest
business in the world is business."
Continuing, Mr. Henrie stated that
Mr. Wheeler, the main speaker of. the
evening, had promised to present four
autographed copies of his book,
"Tested Sentences That Sell," to the
four students who made the four best
reports of the evening lecture for the
college sales class. Mr. Richard Hallisey, head of the Departmen t of Business Education, in introducing the
speaker , mentioned the fact that several books by the well-known businessman had been selected to be included in the contents of the famous
;
Time Capsule.
r
Mr. Elmer "Sizzle " Wheeler began *
his lecture by asking two questions - ,.
of the audience. "What makes people '
buy? " "What makes a friend ?" Thought along those two lines was
developed as the super-salesman out- *{
lined his "Five Points of Sizzlemanship." By way of introducing his policy, Mr. Wheeler stressed the fact
that simplicity is the essence of good
salesmanship, and has been since the
time of the Romans. Even today,
whether in Sears and Roebuck or on
a country farm , simplicity is essen- • -"tial to making a sale. "Sizzleman- _^ . 1
ship " he described as selling better, "
selling more, and selling related products to a customer. In his words, "Selling is a trick, but not trickery." ' '. ,
In his search for the answer to the
question , "What makes a person a
success?" several answers had been
considered and discarded as being inaccurate. Among the items considered were money, education , and climate, but each was put aside as it
was found to be not absolutely essential. Revealing what he had discovered to be the partial secret in
the matter, the speaker stated, "It
isn 't how much you know in life ; it's
what you say about it." The firs t ten
seconds of any introduction are the
most important. In advice to the
husband , "If you have an argumen t
with the wife at breakfast, don't slam ' .
the door when you leave. If you close
the door quietly behind you, all day ,long she'll worry, wondering what
was on your mind when you left" ¦.'

Has the petition system recently
- instituted by the Community Government Association for the nomination of officers of the C.G.A.
proved itself of worth ? Let the result speak for itself: over fifty
declinations were heard by t h e
assembly last Thursday during the
nomination of officers.
Has it proved its worth? We
think not! In fact , we think that it
has proved to be decidedl y un f air
in that a certain percentage of
those who were nominated were
obliged to go out and peddle
themselves to their friends in order to secure the required number
of signatures on their petition;
while, on the other hand * there
were those who had nothing to do
but sit and enjoy themselves while
an eager friend raised their name
for nomination . Is this the democrati c proce d ure t h at we h ear so
much talk about?
Let no one misun derstand—
this is not a rebuke to those who
declined the proffered nomination
—'t hat is his or her privilege to do.
Furthermore , one should not be
critical of those who did decline
because , in all fairness to him or
her , it must be remembered that
if that particular person had wanted the nomination, he or she
would have gone out and circulated a petition. . .._
From the experience obtained
from this year ' s n ominatio n s, it
would seem that the proper procedure to follow in the future
would be to revise our constitution
and require every candidate to
have a petition completed before
he or she could be nominated from
the floor, Regardless of the method used, thoug h , one thing is certain. Something should be worked
out to alleviate the difficulty experienced in this year 's nominations, (em )

Students To Receive
Autograp hed Books
"I will send four of my books to
the four people turning in the best
reports entitled 'What I Learned
Prom Elmer Wheeler's Talk'—and
autograph them," was an offer
made by Mr. Elmer "Sizzle "
Wheeler when he learned of the
assignment of a written report on
his talk. This pertained only to the
members
of Mr. Henrie's retail
¦
' selling class and served as an incentive to the students. The result
was that the four people who will
receive the autographed books
are : Betty Ridall, Michael Bell,
Luther Jones, and Charles Lockard. Two of the books are "Tested
Sentences That Sell," and the other two are copies of "Sizzlemanshtp."
The winning papers were selected on the basis of originality, or; 'ganization, conten t, and apparen t
value of the talk to the student,

of talking to the other fellow about

"Be a good listener first; be a good
talker second. Talk for ten seconds
and listen for ten minutes. Nature
made the ears purposely to be open

he advocated, "Remember Truman.
Poor old Harry," was offered for the
listeners to recall when things seemed to be going wrong.
"Don 't write—telegraph!" stressed
the idea that "the first ten words are
more important than the next ten

to remember.
"Say it with flowers," or, "Syn chronize your sizzle with showmanship. " Either way the point is stated,

demonstration will serve to excite the
"monkey-see, monkey-do" instinct in
a customer. "Back up words with
actions and gestures." During the
war the salesman , feeling secure in
his position , tended to develop what
the speaker termed "halitosis mannerisms" of salesmanship. The audience was warned against the development of such habits as the halitosis Just Joving . ? ? ?

lapel fixer. Also considered taboo is
the adj usting of a customer's attire.
Never give a customer a choice between something and nothing. In the
words of the Sizzle, "Don 't ask 'if—
ask 'which?' " Another application of
these tactics was pointed out for the
use of the female population. "Ladies,
always give your husband a choice
between something you want to do
and something else you want to do."
Still further use of this plan could be
made in international and national
affairs. Mr. Wheeler expressed a belief that "some real old-fashioned
salesmen are needed in Washington
"where too many generals are generalizing, too many Congressmen are
Congressmaning, and too many Senators are Senatorlalizing—or whatever Senators do." Thus, also, might
a salesman be employed as ambassador to Russia, where, after chatting

voice and manner' of speaking, the

Morton Gould, noted composer and,
conductor, will guest conduct at the
annual Intercollegiate Band Festival
at Indiana State Teachers College,
March 24, 25, and 26. Four students
of B.S.T.C. have been selected to attend. They are : Carlton Ermish, firs t
trombone; Thomas Bowman, baritone
horn ; Anna Belle Russell , second
fl ute ; and J»hri C. Brown , second
clarinet.
Students desirous of attending submitted applications listing qualifications, and a committee of collegiate
bandmasters made the selections.
The band will be composed of 125
musicians from 27 Pennsylvania
colleges and universities, an in crease
over last year when only 18 schools
were represented. The band will be
unique in that the guest conductor,
Morton Gould, best known for his
composition "Pavanne," has requested that one third of the musicians be
clarinetists.
After eight hours of rehearsal on
Thursday and Friday, the band will
present a broadcast concert Friday
afternoon. The featured concert will
be played Saturday evening.
An outstanding feature of the Festival is that each year one musician is
picked from the entire band for a solo
part. Thomas Bowman, of the College, won the position last year.
Students already selectedr for th e

Magazine; and Paul Morrison, on e of
the country 's most promising young
scenic artists. Additional speakers
were Richard Beckhard , administrator of the American National Theatre Academy, and John O'Shaughnessey, director of the stage production
of "Command Decision."
In summing up, Miss Gilder stated
that the theatre is a medium of international understanding. She further stated that we are faced with a
crisis in civilization, and that through
the theatre we can work toward healing the wounds of the world.
The conference resulted in the setting up of an informal College Theatre Association of Eastern Pennsylvania which is divided into three regions : the Northern region, with
headquarters at Lycoming College;
the Central region, with headquarters
at Wilkes College, and the Southern
region, with headquarters at Lehigh
University/ The purpose of the Association was designed on a three-fold
angle, and is as follows:
1. To secure recognition of theatre
and radio as a community asset,
thereby gaining community support.
2. To establish close cooperation
between member colleges.
3. To stimulate interest in theatre
and radio, and in new forms and
techniques of production and direction.
,—
Represented at the conference were
twenty-two colleges, seven Little
Theatre groups, and thirty-eight
high school dramatic clubs of Eastern
Pennsylvania.

Two Huskies Win All'Teachers Posts; Aces Take " Intr,ami^g|ffgj

SIDELINES
IN SPORTS ...

by Wayne Von Stetten

With the lid pried loose last Saturday and the Grapefruit League
now underway, we thought we'd devote this column to the 1949 Big
League outlook. We're well aware
that frnaj or league baseball rates
more than a* single column in our
paper; therefore, we'll attempt to
sa tisfy you Yankee, Phillie, A' s, and
Indian fans by equally concentrating
on the A.L. and N.L. races—as well
as on our local Huskies' future.
Once again, the local station,
WL.TR, has arranged to carry the
home games of the Phillies and the
A's direct from Shibe Park. Byrum
Saam , who is rapidly becoming' one
of the nation 's great sports forecasters, will again handle the play by
play from Philadelphia.
Before proceeding further , your
writer wishes to make a few predictions concerning the final standings
of the teams in the senior and junior
circuits. Here goes nothing! In the
American League, we pick the Cleveland Indians to repeat , and nail the
pennant. With the pitching, fielding,
and hitting strength Lou Boudreau
can claim , the Tribe is a cinch. True,
the boys from the Lakefront aren 't
getting any younger, but the replace*
ments in the infield and outfield are
more than capable of holding their
own.
We like the rest of the American
League clubs to finish in this order:
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, and the hapless Washington Senators. We might
comment briefly on our choice for the
fourth position. Several of the diehard Phillie fans in Waller Hall can't
see Connie Mack's A's finishing out of
the cellar. Sorry, boys, but we'll still
stick to our choice by picking the
Mackmen for the first division.
Turning to the National League,
we like Stan (the - man ) Musial and
his St. Louis Cardinals to nab the flag
in a rac e t h at in all prob abili t y will
match the American League race of
last year for thrills. The experts
(who, incidentally, are many times
incorrect and highly embarrassed individuals) claim the Red Birds are
over the hill as ballplayers go and
haven't even an outside chance.
Could be? But we look for Enos
Slaughter, Marty Marion , Whitey
Kurowski, and Howie Pollett to have
one more great year—and a flag. Of
course, the Donora Flash will be leading the Missourians in their parade
for the coveted banner.
The also - rans ? Okay, here they
are: Brooklyn will nose out the Beantowners from Boston for the second
berth ; Pittsburgh In fourth ; New
York In fifth; the "pltchless juveniles" from Philadelphia in the sixth
spot; the Red Stockings from Cincinnati in seventh ; Charley Grimm and
his sad Bruins holding up the rest of
the clubs in the basement.
Perhaps it would have been advisable to concentrate on our own Huskies and their possibilities for the
forthcoming season, and let the predictions up to the experts. However,
yours truly, in order to satisfy an old
desire, took this opportunity to gaze
into the crystal ball.

Cagers End Season with Even
Number of Wins and Losses

Last Game Places
Husky Basketeers
Even with Board
by Chris Klinednist
The Bloomsburg Husky basketeers
closed the current campaign with a
seemingly unimpressive record of
eight wins .and a like number of defeats. The season was highlighted by
high scoring contests with only a few
of the close, hair-raising type being
played on th e local boards and on our
opponents' floors. The record for the
season is not indicative of the spirit
of the Wish ermen, who on more than
one occasion came from behind to
win and who scared many an adversary in the closing min utes of a hardfought contest. Road trips proved disastrous as the locals won only two
out of eight contests, losing only two
on the home boards.
Every m an on the Husky squad deserves individual acclaim for his performance. Perhaps the scoring power
of Boyer and Andrews, the rebounding of Kreiser and Banull, the aggressiveness of Kashne"r and Bartleson ,
and the many other qualities of our
basketball team can qualify our
praises to be directed to these men
who spent many an hour in bringing
glory to the school.
The season opened with Millersville
providing the opposition in a thriller
that was not decided until the waning minutes of the game. With Dave
Linkchorst, sterling young freshman,
leading the way with 14 tallies, the
Huskies won their first game mainly
by controlling both bankboards, courtesy of "Big Ed" Jones. Smokey Andrews took up where he left off last
season and played a sparkling defensive game, in addition to contri buting
10 points.
With a victory under their belt, the
Wishermen entertained Wilkes College in their second game, with a terrific fast break resulting in a 69-37
triumph . The Colonels were never
really in the game as Smokey Andrews took scoring honors with 15
markers, followed closely by Dave
Linkchorst with 13 counters. Mike
Evans brought the reserves into the
spotlight with a total of 10 tallies on
some fine shots.
The first loss of the campaign was
suffered as the Husky club lost to the
ultimate State Teachers champions ,
Lock Haven, on the winners' court.
Smokey Andrews ' 17 points provided
the only brigh t spot in a contest that
served only to show the strength of
the Havenites. The final score was
55-45.
NOTES FROJVf HEBE & THERE
, . . The High School Invitation Tourney in all probability will have drawn
better than seven thousand fans into
spacious Centennial Gym , At this
writing more than 3500 paying customers have packed the big gym . . .
The Bulldogs of Tony Denby up Berwick way have demonstrated how live
little men can play winning basketball. These boys have shown throughout the season a fast break that is
truly brutal to stop. They may not
win the tournament , but they certainly will run their opponents to
death . . . S'long, Sports Fans !

The Huskies continued to hit bad
luck as they lost their second of the
year at East Stroudsburg to the tune
of a 42-34 score. Scoring only nine
points ni the firs t half , the Huskies
excelled only in the foul-shooting department , caging 12 out of 18. Andrews continued to . be "Mr. Consistent ," t allying 13 times.
King 's College dumped the locals
at Wilkes-Barre in a near runaway
resulting in a 63-47 verdict. Possibly
the victims of too much Christmas
vacation , the Huskies were behind
most of the way. Andrews again led
the way with 16 counters. A bright
spot of the contest was the return to
form of Charley Boyer, who hit for
his high for the season up to this
game, 13 markers.
Revenge might have been sweet for
the local cagers as Lock Haven came
to Centennial Gym for a return engagement, but the Bald Eagles were
primed for the contest and kept the
Huskies rolling on their losing spree
with a decisive 47 - 39 shellacking.
Boyer and Kreiser matched Shaeffer
and McDermott for the winners, each
tallying 12 points, but the rest of the
locals failed to chip in with enough
counters to bring a long-awaited victory.
Revenge was finally gained at
Wilkes-Barre. It was not revenge for
the Huskies however, as Wilkes College turned back the Wishermen with
a 51-46 decision. Boyer sparked the
Huskies with 21 points as the Blooms
Huskies with 21 points, as the Bloomsburgers lost the contest at the foul
line, sinking only 10 out of 17, while
Wilkes made good on 17 out of 25.
Phil Sekerch ak , high-scoring Wilkes
ace, gave a fine demonstration of onehanded shooting while gathering a
total of 20 points.
The Huskies broke their losing
streak with a well-deserved 68-59
victory over King 's College, thus averaging the early defeat on the loser's
court. Boyer again showed last year's
form , gathering 21 tallies, assisted by
Krei ser , Banull, and Bartleson with
13, 10 an d 10, respectively. The play
of the Bloom squad was superb and
the fans were delighted to see that
good basketball had not left Centennial Gym for long. Murphy, for th e
visitors, gave exhibition of set shooting, taking up the slack provided by
the holding down of high-scoring McLaughlin. Murphy hit for 19 counters,
most of them on set shots.
In the most exciting game played
on the local boards in the past season , B.S.T.C. lost a tough decision to
a powerful • Shippensburg five, 52-50.
The Huskies made it a battle up to
the final seconds, scoring five points
in the last minute. Bobby Kashner
and Charley Boyer combined forces
for 38 of their team's total of 50.
Kashner's set shots were deadly and
Boyer kept in stride with 17 more
counters added to his season total.
Bobby 's 21 points were high for the
evening.
The Husky basketeers traveled to
Mansfield and brought home a hardearned 53-52 victory . Staving off a
last minute rally by the Mountaineers, the locals won on the margin of
their foul shooting, sinking 17 out of
22, while field goals were even between the two clubs , each caging 18.

And Then the Cow Went Dry . . .
¦',¦;¦
The edict which made milk verboten at supper—or, if you wish, dinner
—has puzzled a considerable number of the campus citizenry. By way of
shedding some light on the matter, it can be said that this move was made
purely in the interest of economy. Despite this reduction in the individual
( quota , the daily allotment is still well within dietary limits. If you allow for
the fact that approximately 400 persons eat their evening meal in the college cafeteria, you can readily see how economy can be put into effect without inflicting hardship on anybody. For, when it's all said and done, what is
one glass of milk more or less ? Besides, such savings can be. put to good use.
By placing a small sum aside each week, >n no time at all we could have
enough money to purchase two marble cows to replace the lions along senior
walk. The lions could then be moved over to Science Hall, where they would
be put to use as visual aid material in teaching the geography of Africa.
That is a small but extremely illuminating example of the good that can be
effected through economy. Does that clear the matter up for, you ?

Barks for the 'Wheeler Way' . . .
'Sizzle' Wheeler was a speaker who lived up to his reputation. He
turned in a neat job of selling himself to his audience, but there was one
article of trade he failed to sell—the "Remember Truman" slogan. Doubtless
Mr. Wheeler was not aware of the fact that he was a Samson in the land of
the Philistines, for any favorable reference to Harry, surnamed Truman, is
strictly anathema in and on the property of the Commonwealth. What's
more, the Republicans are no strangers to the sizzle. They started to sizzle
back in November and have been going strong ever since. But such pointless
comment is neither here nor there, and is inserted merely as casual observation. More immediate to our concern is that fact that 'Sizzle' took psychology
out of its traditional academic robes and dressed it in working clothes. In all
sincerity, hearing Mr. Wheeler's message was a pleasure and an experience
to be long remembered.

Spring is Here _. . .

,

Or at least it will be 'offi ci ally ' here come Monday. Actually, the seasons are reckoned on the campus by the activity of Dr. Kuster, who, for all
practical purposes, ushered spring in nearly two weeks ago. When you see
Dr. Kuster afield with one of his botany classes for the firs t time in the year,
mark it as the day when spring came to B.S.T.C. It is always the day on
which the trees surrounding Science Hall are rechristened with strange and
forbidding names, which the neophyte botanist is loath to articulate and
even more loath to remember. Thus, botanically spring is here and has been
for a while ; but astronomically it won't arrive until sometime on Monday.

Kline Declined, but Brown kept Quiet . . .
All last week's nominating convention needed to complete the picture
was a few clowns to rush out on the stage and beat each other over the head
with inflated bladders. Not only did 55 persons, including Kline himself , decline nominations, but one of the nominees, Charles Brown, proved himself
the product of someone's imagination, which is probably the reason why he
failed to decline. The presidency was low on the list with a mere five declinations, while the post of assistant treasurer copped top scoring honors with a
total of 23. It is interesting to note that more than ten per cent of the eligible students present received a nomination for at least one of the offices.

Again Boyer showed plenty of scoring
punch with 18 markers. Kashner and
Kreiser helped out with 11 and 12
respectively. This brought the season
totals to four wins in ten starts- for
the Wisher-coached aggregation.
Continuing their winning ways, the
Huskies came through with a 64-52
victory over Lycoming College. The
issue was never in doubt as Charley
Boyer hit the cords for 21 points, aided by Smokey Andrews and Walt
Banull , who chipped in for a total of
30 tallies between them. Jack Sowers,
Lycoming ace, showed his accuracy
in set shots as he racked up 18 counters for the losers.
Pulling the biggest surprise of the
year, the Wishermen licked East
Stroudsburg in a return engagement
—nothing like the earlier defeat pinned to the locals at Stroud. The final
score, 48-38, is indicative of the trend
of the game as the Huskies showed
their fangs all through the contest.
Boyer and Kashner hit for 16 and 10
points, respectively. Pozda was the
only Stroud player to hit the double
digits with 12 counters, mostly set
shots from far out.
Millersville put the "foreign court"
jinx on the Bloom cagers at the
down-river court with a 46-38 drubbing. The Huskies held a three-point
lead going into the final stanza , but
the Marauders exploded and sank the
locals' hopes of making the two-day
trip a complete success. Smokey
Andrews hit the cords for the Husky
h igh , 14 points, as Boyer garnered
only seven tallies.
The Shippensburg cagers repeated
their close victory over the Wishermen at the Cumberland County floor
in a 56-52 contest. The game was
hard-fought, decided only in the last
quarter when Jackie McClelland put
on a dazzling display of marksmanship. The star set shot sewed up the
decision , missing only one shot in the
second half. He sank eight sets from
mid court in the second half in perhaps the brightest exhibition of shooting seen by Husky basketeers in
many a year. Boyer gathered 15
points for the losers whose season
record stood at eight losses and six
wins.
Mansfield left Bloomsburg with no
doubt as to which was the better
team after taking a severe 56 - 47
drubbing at the hands of the improved Husky cagers. A slow game until
the end, the contest was highlighted
by the shooting abilities of Kashner
and Boyer, which "iced" the game in
the third quarter. Boyer led the scorers with 16 tallies, followed closely
by «Mike Evans, who gathered 10
counters in j ust a few minutes of
play. The reserves showed much potential power as they were instrumental in building up a comfortable
margin towards the end of the game.
Charley Boyer ran his season's total
to an even 200 markers in this contest.
