Mr. Sterlin g Guest
Of U. S. Air Force
Mr. Bradford Sterling, campus
Geography instructor, and several
other noted instructors from colleges in Pennsylvania were guests
of the United States Air Force
during a two week visitation to
the Air Force Technical School.
A special plane left Harrisburg for
Scott Field where the first week of
the visit was spent. All the instructors were given two weeks
temporary duty without pay, and
were given the rank of field grade
officers. They were housed in barracks and were on the same schedule as the air force. After a week
at Scott Field, the party flew to
Keesler Field, where they visited
the schools at the base.
Mr. Bradford Sterling
The purpose of this trip was to
b bring about unity between civilian
a and air force training programs.
I The teachers were able to see the
n methods of instruction used at the
b bases and to give some informatl tlon that might prove helpfu l to
ti the air force instructors. This
si shows that the air force respects
tc teaching and wants to keep up
wwith all methods of instruction.
Mr. Sterling, a flight instructor
diduring the war. has had extensive
ej experlenco in this unusual phase
olof education.
President John Scrimgeour and
Dave Newbury were the two delegates from Bloomsburg who attended the Regional Conference
of Kappa Delta Pi at the Kent
State University of Ohio.
Th e conferen ce was sched u led
for December 6th and opened with
brief messages from the important
officers of the National Executive
Committee for Kappa Delta Pi.
Following several announcements
the conference was broken .up into
smaller discussion groups.
John Scrimgeour was made recorder of one of these discussion
groups. His group planned ways
to improve pledging and selection
of new members. Dave Newbury
attended a group discussion on
methods to improve chapter programs.

" Grit " Beauty Show
On November 9, 1952, the "Miss
Grit" contest winners were announced. The Hollywood panel of
screen stars chose Miss Dorothy
Blake of Brady, Texas as Queen
with Miss Sherrill Hiller of BSTC
being chosen as runner-up. First
prize consisted of $250 and the
runners-up received $25. The contest was very difficult to judge as
there were over 3,500 con t estants
from all parts of the country entered, all being very charming
young women and all daughters of
Grit readers.
When interviewed , Miss Hiller
said she had no idea her name had
been entered in the contest. Her
mother had sent the picture into
the Grit offices and it was on
November 9 when the paper pub- .
lished her picture that she found
out that she was chosen as a winner in the "Miss Grit" contest and
that she was to receive a cash
prize of $25. It was really quite an
honor for Sherrill as her picture
was in the hands of such movie
stars as Farley Granger, Peter
Lawford, Dale Robertson , Fernando Lamas, Bill Shirl ey , and Bob
Arthur.
Sherrill has been a very active
young lady around B.S.T.C., being
chosen as "Varsity Queen" in her
Freshman year and as Queen of an
individual sport in her Sophomore
year. She has also been very
active in Dramatics.

be conducted in the Old Gym from
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Captain Koehnlein exp lained
that the Marine Corps offers three
officer training programs for college students. These are the Officer Candidate Course for male
seniors, the Platoon Leaders Class
for male freshmen, sophomores
and j uniors and the Women Officer Training Program for women
students.
None of these programs requires
any specialized studies or drills
during the schoolterm. Training
for members of the Platoon Leaders Class and Women Officer
Training Program takes place during the summer recess. The summer training lasts for six weeks
during each of two summers. During the training, members receive
$140.00 to $180.00, plus their food ,
uniforms, medical care, and transportation to and from the training
camps. Enrollees receive commissions as second lieutenants in the
Marine Corps Reserve after they
have graduated from college. Under Selective Service Law, a member of the Platoon Leaders Class
is deferred from induction until
after graduation .
Seniors who enter the Officer
Candidate Course are ordered to
active duty after graduation and
become second lieutenants after
successfully completing ten weeks
of officer training at Quantico,

About four y ears ago th e AAUW , the Association of American
University Women, provided the inspiration for a growing art movement
in Bloomsburg. This organization is also the sponsor of various literary,
musical, and dramatic functions. It sponsored an evening art class at
the high school and encouraged a large number of enthusiastic participants. The group, mostly beginners, started by wielding a paint brush
and produced some promising water colors. Later, Mrs. Ralph Herre
began to give lessons in her home to persons who were further interested
in continuing their art work. Children 's classes, as well as ad u l t cl asses,
are conducted throughout the year.
A small group of ent h usiast i c artists , including Mrs. Anna Knight
and Dr. Nell Maupin , now h ave fo rce d an evenin g grou p whi ch meets
each Wednesday at 7:30 o'clock. Painting in oils has been the project
for this year. After various sketchings had been made, the artists decided to work them in oils.
Dr. Maupin , during a trip to New Orleans, was enhanced by the
French Quarter, lusty with fiery tradition. From a sketching made
while in. Louisiana, she has woven the color and pageantry iron gratings
and sweeping balconcies into a painting worthy of praise to the deep
South.
Whi le vacationin g in M i nnesota , Mrs. Knight was inspired by the
vast and rugged beauty of that portion of our country. From original
drafts she had made, Minnesota landscape can now be seen as an oil
painting.
The general trend that the class seems to be following with their
brushes and palettes is that of producing landscapes. ' Pennsylvania i,n
winter has created for the artists' benefit crystal mountains laden with
fi f trees, and brooks running with icy enchantment, just as the color
ripples from the brush to a barren canvas.

Final 1952 Football Statistics
by Ann Gengenbach
Rat her than report on the hemli nes t h at are h ere, this column
is devoted to what shall soon
swee p the c o u n t r y , including
Bloom College.
Th is Chri stmas an d New Year
you'll be seeing prettier dresses
than ever before. The most noticeabl e shift is the change in party
hem linos, as i s refl ecte d in the
TAXI LENGTH. What is it? The
taxi-length dress will vary slightly
with the height of the wearer.
Ten inches from the floor is it!
This is longer than a ballerina yet
shorter than ankle length. The
taxi-length makes for easier packing, divine dancing, and pours in
an d out of cars wi t h ease an d
grace. This new hemline is a forma l dress an d correct f or all gala
events.
The fabrics for gowns this winter are excit i n g an d d efin i te ly
sophisticated. Moire in pale, pale
shades reflect the holiday spirit.
Because of its elegance, moi re
dresses are following simple patterns. Silks, satins, floating chiffons, and oodles of lace will grace
our dance floors.
Spikes of satin and linen dyed
to matc h t h e gown are part of t he
outfit too. The maze of straps
will show off your bright pedicure
an d demure ankle to its best advantage.
The "Spanish idea " has taken
hold of America's youth and you'll
now see ruffles, heavy Spanish
lace, jet embroidery, vivid colors
and long torso lines. Long torso
l inos are like the middy design of
the yesteryear, only snug fitting
and slim. Wonderful in accenting
that tiny waistline.
Let your imagination go and
you'll turn up with a ruffled Latin
number good for a rhumba anywhere. One of the nicest styles is
t h e fi tte d torso gown t h at i s snu g
to hip level and from, there the
dress is a cluster of ruffle piled
on ruffle.
If it's k n i tte d dresses you go
for, the new cafe sweater dress in
pastels trimmed with gilt embroidery will be your rage—perfect for
any informal mood.
That about covers the latest for
you gals, b ut remem ber, by looking your loveliest , y ou 're sure to
have a MERRY CHRISTMAS.

fShippensburg, was certainly enviable. Thus another season has ended.
fMay the future campaign be as exciting and successful as the one j ust
fp ast. As an added note, the Huskies mauled Lock Haven in a foot of
tmud and water shortly before the Thanksgiving recess—way back then.
fOnly a few Husky fans witnessed the battle, which was one of the best
Jplayed and most thrilling tilts of the season considering the atmospheric
^condi tions that day.

Ithan usual, so the fans should be in for an excellent season and a
campaign which I believe will find the local cagers copping State Teachers College honors. In a recent scrimmage at the Bucknell Bison court,
the Huskies walloped Bucknell by more than twenty-five points. Millers\ ville, Lock Haven, and Lycoming should cause the Maroon and Gold the
most trouble this season. The first two foes mentioned will most likely

Final Standings
Bloomsburg and Lock Haven exchanged positions in the standings
as the former defeated the latter,
14-0 to bring the Pennsylvania
State Teachers Colleges Football
Conference to a close. Bloomsburg,
last year's champion , finished in
fourth position while Lock Haven
dropped to seventh place.
West Chester, the 1952 champion , gained 10 points by Bloomsburg's final victory. Even if Shippensburg had played and defeated
Lock Haven the West Chester
Rams would have won the title
under the current point-scoring
system. The Shippensbu rg-Lock
Haven* game was cancelled early
in the season due to a polio epidemic in Center County .
The conference boasts of the
only undefeated and untied teams
in the state in its three top teams.
Clarion will play in its first bowl
game in the Lions' Bowl in Salisbury, N. C, Dec. 13. In non-l eague
play during the season STC teams
won 24 games, lost 10 and ti ed one
against t o p - r a n k i n g collegiate

Next Tuesday night the Huskies
of B.S.T.C. will open their 1952-53
basketball season against Scranton
University at Scranton. For the
past months the dribblers of
Coach Harold Shelly have been
running off extra weight and
sharpening their shooting eyes for
the coming season.
Coach Shelly has nine returning
let termen , six of whom are seniors,
one a j unior, and two sophomores.
Coach Shelly lost only two players
from last years squad, one through
graduation and one to the professional ranks. The two were Bill
Byham and Chuck Daly, Kane
boys who played a lot of basketball under Coach Shelly . Daly was
the team 's leading scorer last year
and Byham was the sparkplug of
the squad. Both boys will be missed this year but should be able to
be replaced by some of last year 's
bench warmers.
Of the returning nine lettermen,
which include six seniors' three
were starter s on last year 's squad.
The returning first stringers are
Doug Erickson , Dave Linkchorst
and Albert Williams. Erickson is
a 6*5" pivot man from Kane, who
r elies on a deadly hook sh ot and
is rough, tough under the boards.
He came to Bloomsburg as a
sophomore from Clarion S.T.C. but
was ineligible that year because of
the transfer rule. However, he
came out last year and played
some good basketball for the
twelve time victorious Huskies.
Linkchorst, a hard driving guard
from Mahanoy City, is a three
sport letterman. Link uses a 2handed> set shot from over the
head as his main scoring weapon
and is a sweet ball handler from
his outside post. The other starter
is Al Willi ams, a Nanticoke native.
Al is about the best shot on the
team and he should be the main
cog in the very potent Husky attack. Al is a roly poly guard who
loves to run on a fast break. The
other three senior lettermen are
Larry Ksanznak, Bob Gerhard, and
Danny Boychuck. Larry is a
speedy little guard from' West
Hazleton who is always on the
run. He has a variety of shots and
can make good use of them when
a couple of points are needed. Bob
Gerhard is a 6'3" forward from
Palmerton, who is the best rebounder on the team. Bob learned
all his basketball here at B.S.T.C.
and learned it well in such a short
time. His tip-in baskets are exceedingly helpful when the other
boys aren't hitting. Danny Boychuck, the other senior, hails from
Shamokin and is a hard driving
forward who likes to drive past
his men and put in those underhand layups. He is also a very
p ood j ump shot artist and a fine
defensive man.
Leaving the seniors we find only
one junior on the squad, Jumping

from Johnstown. Joe is a very

Besides the lettermen there are
a counle of other good ball players
returning to bolster the squad:
Jerry Kop ok , a junior and Frank

The 6'6" keyhole operator is one
of Coach Shelley 's greatest prospects. With a lot of work, his
hook shots and rebound height
could be very dangerous to rival
schools.
Coach Shelly, returning as head
mentor of the Huskies, h as high
hooes for his freshman prospects.
Among the possible future Husky
stars are Bob Evans, a 6'3" forward from Coal Township who is
a good rebounder and defensive
man; Harrison Morson, burly freshman from Radnor, a good shot and
strong rebounder ; Pete Weiser,
another Kane boy who is an excellent set shot from his guard
position; Harvey Boughner, a hard
fighting guard from Treverton who
is a good man for setting up the
plays; Sam Belle, a speedy forward from Williamsport who can
snake his way around the court
and slip the oval through the hoop
with ease; Charles Skiptunas , a
big rough forward from Kingston
who can really throw his weight
around to get possession of the
ball ; and Larry Wilson, a 6'5" pivotman from Hatboro, who should
develop into a terrific front court
man.

A tisket, a tasket . . .
It won't be long now until Mr. Shelley*and his agile basketball boys
make their first appearance of the year on the floor of the Centennial
gymnasium. The most recent rumor around school seems to be that this
year's basketball team is destined for a championship. With a repeat
performance of the school spirit shown at West Chester, I'm sure that
we could very easily induce these ball-bouncing athletes to make that
rumor come true. What do you say ? Don't forget to cheer when you
get up there at those o-ames. After all, that fellow next to you may be
only waiting for you to cheer first.

Something old, something new . . .
You're all familiar, I believe , with the old proverb concerning a
wedding which states that a bride should have something old, something
new, something borrowed, and something blue. There's a pre-Thanksgiving occurrence that has put an entirely new slant on that adage
which I think is worthy of all the space it is going to occupy.
It seems that some of Tom Rowley 's mischievous 'friends found
some OLD limburger cheese for which they contrived a NEW use, so
they BORROWED it from the owner, entered Rowley's room , and
smeared it over the victim's snoozing countenance.
Shortly after the incident, I was on hand to interview the BLUE
unfortunate of the foul play, and received a calm statement from him
which appears below:
"Even thought McCarthy is £lV2 feet tall, I'll break him in halves,
then in quarters ! To the devil with t.b. ; pneumonia ~be hanged—he and
his roommate will both go to the lagoon—escorted by me!" (For the
benefit of those of you who are confused, Rowley is the assistant dean
at North Hall; the lagoon is the fountain directly across from the
laundry). When asked how he felt about practical jokes of this kind,
Rowley replied that he thought they "stink." Need I say more ?
* * * * *
Good loungekeeping . . .
And then there's another thing with which I'm sure you are all
familiar—GOOD HOUSEKEEPING magazine. One of the best ideas
I've heard for a long time is that of publishing a GOOD LOUNGEKEEPING magazine for those of us who use the upper deck of the
lounge.
Although that furniture is comparatively new, it is continuously
abused, and regardless of previous warnings, students still insist upon
taking food and drinks up there. Smokers no longer use the ashtrays
for their butts and ashes — they find the floor much more convenient.
You 'll all agree that the furniture we have is attractive, as well as
comfortable; we're all old enough to realize the value of things today.
Why not make an effort to do your part in GOOD LOUNGEKEEPING ?

Future pitchers of America . . .
At last — the news you have been waiting so anxiously for! The
results of that exciting snowball battle of "December 2, 1952, when the
Waller Hall girls competed against the Waller Hall boys in a bitterly
cold struggle for victory. The outcome proved that 9 out of 10 girls
who took part in that contest could be, or will be, eligible for the big
leagues as pitchers in the spring. The girls, incidentally, won by a
landslide. (Or was it a snowslide?) Oh, well , just goes to show you—
women can do anything that they put their minds to! And if you don 't
believe m e, consult history for the stories of Madame Curie, Florence
Nightingale, Joan of Arc, and Delilah.)

Mr. Bradford Sterling, campus
Geography instructor, and several
other noted instructors from colleges in Pennsylvania were guests
of the United States Air Force
during a two week visitation to
the Air Force Technical School.
A special plane left Harrisburg for
Scott Field where the first week of
the visit was spent. All the instructors were given two weeks
temporary duty without pay, and
were given the rank of field grade
officers. They were housed in barracks and were on the same schedule as the air force. After a week
at Scott Field, the party flew to
Keesler Field, where they visited
the schools at the base.
Mr. Bradford Sterling
The purpose of this trip was to
b bring about unity between civilian
a and air force training programs.
I The teachers were able to see the
n methods of instruction used at the
b bases and to give some informatl tlon that might prove helpfu l to
ti the air force instructors. This
si shows that the air force respects
tc teaching and wants to keep up
wwith all methods of instruction.

" Grit " Beauty Show
On November 9, 1952, the "Miss
Grit" contest winners were announced. The Hollywood panel of
screen stars chose Miss Dorothy
Blake of Brady, Texas as Queen
with Miss Sherrill Hiller of BSTC
being chosen as runner-up. First
prize consisted of $250 and the
runners-up received $25. The contest was very difficult to judge as
there were over 3,500 con t estants
from all parts of the country entered, all being very charming
young women and all daughters of
Grit readers.
When interviewed , Miss Hiller
said she had no idea her name had
been entered in the contest. Her
mother had sent the picture into
the Grit offices and it was on
November 9 when the paper pub- .
lished her picture that she found
out that she was chosen as a winner in the "Miss Grit" contest and
that she was to receive a cash
prize of $25. It was really quite an
honor for Sherrill as her picture
was in the hands of such movie
stars as Farley Granger, Peter
Lawford, Dale Robertson , Fernando Lamas, Bill Shirl ey , and Bob
Arthur.
Sherrill has been a very active
young lady around B.S.T.C., being
chosen as "Varsity Queen" in her
Freshman year and as Queen of an
individual sport in her Sophomore
year. She has also been very
active in Dramatics.

training programs. Interviews will
be conducted in the Old Gym from
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Captain Koehnlein exp lained
that the Marine Corps offers three
officer training programs for college students. These are the Officer Candidate Course for male
seniors, the Platoon Leaders Class
for male freshmen, sophomores
and j uniors and the Women Officer Training Program for women
students.
None of these programs requires
any specialized studies or drills
during the schoolterm. Training
for members of the Platoon Leaders Class and Women Officer
Training Program takes place during the summer recess. The summer training lasts for six weeks
during each of two summers. During the training, members receive

About four y ears ago th e AAUW , the Association of American
University Women, provided the inspiration for a growing art movement
in Bloomsburg. This organization is also the sponsor of various literary,
musical, and dramatic functions. It sponsored an evening art class at
the high school and encouraged a large number of enthusiastic participants. The group, mostly beginners, started by wielding a paint brush
and produced some promising water colors. Later, Mrs. Ralph Herre
began to give lessons in her home to persons who were further interested
in continuing their art work. Children 's classes, as well as ad u l t cl asses,
are conducted throughout the year.
A small group of ent h usiast i c artists , including Mrs. Anna Knight
and Dr. Nell Maupin , now h ave fo rce d an evenin g grou p whi ch meets
each Wednesday at 7:30 o'clock. Painting in oils has been the project
for this year. After various sketchings had been made, the artists decided to work them in oils.
Dr. Maupin , during a trip to New Orleans, was enhanced by the
French Quarter, lusty with fiery tradition. From a sketching made
while in. Louisiana, she has woven the color and pageantry iron gratings
and sweeping balconcies into a painting worthy of praise to the deep
South.
Whi le vacationin g in M i nnesota , Mrs. Knight was inspired by the
vast and rugged beauty of that portion of our country. From original
drafts she had made, Minnesota landscape can now be seen as an oil
painting.
The general trend that the class seems to be following with their
brushes and palettes is that of producing landscapes. ' Pennsylvania i,n
winter has created for the artists' benefit crystal mountains laden with
fi f trees, and brooks running with icy enchantment, just as the color
ripples from the brush to a barren canvas.

Final 1952 Football Statistics
by Ann Gengenbach
Rat her than report on the hemli nes t h at are h ere, this column
is devoted to what shall soon
swee p the c o u n t r y , including
Bloom College.
Th is Chri stmas an d New Year
you'll be seeing prettier dresses
than ever before. The most noticeabl e shift is the change in party
hem linos, as i s refl ecte d in the
TAXI LENGTH. What is it? The
taxi-length dress will vary slightly
with the height of the wearer.
Ten inches from the floor is it!
This is longer than a ballerina yet
shorter than ankle length. The
taxi-length makes for easier packing, divine dancing, and pours in
an d out of cars wi t h ease an d
grace. This new hemline is a forma l dress an d correct f or all gala
events.
The fabrics for gowns this winter are excit i n g an d d efin i te ly
sophisticated. Moire in pale, pale
shades reflect the holiday spirit.
Because of its elegance, moi re
dresses are following simple patterns. Silks, satins, floating chiffons, and oodles of lace will grace
our dance floors.
Spikes of satin and linen dyed
to matc h t h e gown are part of t he
outfit too. The maze of straps
will show off your bright pedicure
an d demure ankle to its best advantage.
The "Spanish idea " has taken
hold of America's youth and you'll
now see ruffles, heavy Spanish
lace, jet embroidery, vivid colors
and long torso lines. Long torso
l inos are like the middy design of
the yesteryear, only snug fitting
and slim. Wonderful in accenting
that tiny waistline.
Let your imagination go and
you'll turn up with a ruffled Latin
number good for a rhumba anywhere. One of the nicest styles is
t h e fi tte d torso gown t h at i s snu g
to hip level and from, there the
dress is a cluster of ruffle piled
on ruffle.
If it's k n i tte d dresses you go
for, the new cafe sweater dress in
pastels trimmed with gilt embroidery will be your rage—perfect for
any informal mood.
That about covers the latest for
you gals, b ut remem ber, by looking your loveliest , y ou 're sure to
have a MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Christmas has again come to
Waller Hall and with it the exercise of artistic ability as each
room vied for prizes awarded for
the best decorated doors on each
floor. Jeananne Evans, Ethel Brace,
and Rosemary Snierski, house
committee chairman, were in
charge of the annual door j udging,
as well as providing and decorating a Christmas tree in the lobby
of each floor.
Winners were selected on Thursday evening, December 11, and
first, second, and third prizes were
given on each floor. Judges were
Connie Wallaces Doris Sadowski,
Grace Histed, Peggy Noll, Rose
Marie Grant , and Anna Mae KornCeld.
Mary Jo Williams and Betsy
Baer are busy sending Christmas
cards from the Waller Hall Association to former Bloomsburg students who are now serving in the
armed service.
Thanksgiving Day, 1952, is really a day to remember for two
Waller Hall girls. Mary Elizabeth
Patton received her diamond from
Alfred Marsllio, and Gloria Benner became engaged to Paul R.
Peiffer, another B.S.T.C. student.
We are happy to welcome back
Evelyn Weaver and Hope Clark
after their absence from school.

fbnce more and relations on the turf with the Marauders will be resumed
fin 1954. The Millers dropped the Huskies this past campaign for a
Jperiod of two years because the Huskies were too strong for them. Now
fthey are back in the fold. Some of the other schools who also cut short
ffootball relations with B.S.T.C. appear eager to meet the locals again,
tbut nothing else is definite as yet. Eventually, Shippensburg should

%tanding of fourth place in the tough conference was an admirable
fperformance by the team and its new head mentor, Jack Yohe. ConJ sidering the change in systems,, personnel, inj uries, and all the other
Ithings that made the season much tougher than usual, a fourth place
gating, behind three undefeated elevens, West Chester, Clarion, and
fShippensburg, was certainly enviable. Thus another season has ended.
fMay the future campaign be as exciting and successful as the one j ust
fp ast. As an added note, the Huskies mauled Lock Haven in a foot of
tmud and water shortly before the Thanksgiving recess—way back then.
fOnly a few Husky fans witnessed the battle, which was one of the best
Jplayed and most thrilling tilts of the season considering the atmospheric
^condi tions that day.

frnentor Shelly has an abundance of talent on hand , with more height
Ithan usual, so the fans should be in for an excellent season and a
campaign which I believe will find the local cagers copping State Teachers College honors. In a recent scrimmage at the Bucknell Bison court,
the Huskies walloped Bucknell by more than twenty-five points. Millers\ ville, Lock Haven, and Lycoming should cause the Maroon and Gold the
most trouble this season. The first two foes mentioned will most likely
be the big guns in the Tudor race, with Lycoming, a new addition to the
schedule replacing Indiantown Gap, will provide plenty of headaches in

Final Standings
Bloomsburg and Lock Haven exchanged positions in the standings
as the former defeated the latter,
14-0 to bring the Pennsylvania
State Teachers Colleges Football
Conference to a close. Bloomsburg,
last year's champion , finished in
fourth position while Lock Haven
dropped to seventh place.
West Chester, the 1952 champion , gained 10 points by Bloomsburg's final victory. Even if Shippensburg had played and defeated
Lock Haven the West Chester
Rams would have won the title
under the current point-scoring
system. The Shippensbu rg-Lock
Haven* game was cancelled early
in the season due to a polio epidemic in Center County .
The conference boasts of the
only undefeated and untied teams
in the state in its three top teams.
Clarion will play in its first bowl
game in the Lions' Bowl in Salisbury, N. C, Dec. 13. In non-l eague
play during the season STC teams
won 24 games, lost 10 and ti ed one
against t o p - r a n k i n g collegiate

Next Tuesday night the Huskies
of B.S.T.C. will open their 1952-53
basketball season against Scranton
University at Scranton. For the
past months the dribblers of
Coach Harold Shelly have been
running off extra weight and
sharpening their shooting eyes for
the coming season.
Coach Shelly has nine returning
let termen , six of whom are seniors,
one a j unior, and two sophomores.
Coach Shelly lost only two players
from last years squad, one through
graduation and one to the professional ranks. The two were Bill
Byham and Chuck Daly, Kane
boys who played a lot of basketball under Coach Shelly . Daly was
the team 's leading scorer last year
and Byham was the sparkplug of
the squad. Both boys will be missed this year but should be able to
be replaced by some of last year 's
bench warmers.
Of the returning nine lettermen,
which include six seniors' three
were starter s on last year 's squad.
The returning first stringers are
Doug Erickson , Dave Linkchorst
and Albert Williams. Erickson is
a 6*5" pivot man from Kane, who
r elies on a deadly hook sh ot and
is rough, tough under the boards.
He came to Bloomsburg as a
sophomore from Clarion S.T.C. but
was ineligible that year because of
the transfer rule. However, he
came out last year and played
some good basketball for the
twelve time victorious Huskies.
Linkchorst, a hard driving guard
from Mahanoy City, is a three
sport letterman. Link uses a 2handed> set shot from over the
head as his main scoring weapon
and is a sweet ball handler from
his outside post. The other starter
is Al Willi ams, a Nanticoke native.
Al is about the best shot on the
team and he should be the main
cog in the very potent Husky attack. Al is a roly poly guard who
loves to run on a fast break. The
other three senior lettermen are
Larry Ksanznak, Bob Gerhard, and
Danny Boychuck. Larry is a
speedy little guard from' West
Hazleton who is always on the
run. He has a variety of shots and
can make good use of them when
a couple of points are needed. Bob
Gerhard is a 6'3" forward from
Palmerton, who is the best rebounder on the team. Bob learned
all his basketball here at B.S.T.C.
and learned it well in such a short
time. His tip-in baskets are exceedingly helpful when the other
boys aren't hitting. Danny Boychuck, the other senior, hails from
Shamokin and is a hard driving
forward who likes to drive past
his men and put in those underhand layups. He is also a very
p ood j ump shot artist and a fine
defensive man.
Leaving the seniors we find only

of Coach Shelley 's greatest prospects. With a lot of work, his
hook shots and rebound height
could be very dangerous to rival
schools.
Coach Shelly, returning as head
mentor of the Huskies, h as high
hooes for his freshman prospects.
Among the possible future Husky
stars are Bob Evans, a 6'3" forward from Coal Township who is
a good rebounder and defensive
man; Harrison Morson, burly freshman from Radnor, a good shot and
strong rebounder ; Pete Weiser,
another Kane boy who is an excellent set shot from his guard
position; Harvey Boughner, a hard
fighting guard from Treverton who
is a good man for setting up the
plays; Sam Belle, a speedy forward from Williamsport who can
snake his way around the court
and slip the oval through the hoop
with ease; Charles Skiptunas , a
big rough forward from Kingston
who can really throw his weight
around to get possession of the
ball ; and Larry Wilson, a 6'5" pivotman from Hatboro, who should
develop into a terrific front court
man.

A tisket, a tasket . . .
It won't be long now until Mr. Shelley*and his agile basketball boys
make their first appearance of the year on the floor of the Centennial
gymnasium. The most recent rumor around school seems to be that this
year's basketball team is destined for a championship. With a repeat
performance of the school spirit shown at West Chester, I'm sure that
we could very easily induce these ball-bouncing athletes to make that
rumor come true. What do you say ? Don't forget to cheer when you
get up there at those o-ames. After all, that fellow next to you may be
only waiting for you to cheer first.

Something old, something new . . .
You're all familiar, I believe , with the old proverb concerning a
wedding which states that a bride should have something old, something
new, something borrowed, and something blue. There's a pre-Thanksgiving occurrence that has put an entirely new slant on that adage
which I think is worthy of all the space it is going to occupy.
It seems that some of Tom Rowley 's mischievous 'friends found
some OLD limburger cheese for which they contrived a NEW use, so
they BORROWED it from the owner, entered Rowley's room , and
smeared it over the victim's snoozing countenance.
Shortly after the incident, I was on hand to interview the BLUE
unfortunate of the foul play, and received a calm statement from him
which appears below:
"Even thought McCarthy is £lV2 feet tall, I'll break him in halves,
then in quarters ! To the devil with t.b. ; pneumonia ~be hanged—he and
his roommate will both go to the lagoon—escorted by me!" (For the
benefit of those of you who are confused, Rowley is the assistant dean
at North Hall; the lagoon is the fountain directly across from the
laundry). When asked how he felt about practical jokes of this kind,
Rowley replied that he thought they "stink." Need I say more ?

Good loungekeeping . . .
And then there's another thing with which I'm sure you are all
familiar—GOOD HOUSEKEEPING magazine. One of the best ideas
I've heard for a long time is that of publishing a GOOD LOUNGEKEEPING magazine for those of us who use the upper deck of the
lounge.
Although that furniture is comparatively new, it is continuously
abused, and regardless of previous warnings, students still insist upon
taking food and drinks up there. Smokers no longer use the ashtrays
for their butts and ashes — they find the floor much more convenient.
You 'll all agree that the furniture we have is attractive, as well as
comfortable; we're all old enough to realize the value of things today.
Why not make an effort to do your part in GOOD LOUNGEKEEPING ?

Future pitchers of America . . .
At last — the news you have been waiting so anxiously for! The
results of that exciting snowball battle of "December 2, 1952, when the
Waller Hall girls competed against the Waller Hall boys in a bitterly
cold struggle for victory. The outcome proved that 9 out of 10 girls
who took part in that contest could be, or will be, eligible for the big
leagues as pitchers in the spring. The girls, incidentally, won by a
landslide. (Or was it a snowslide?) Oh, well , just goes to show you—
women can do anything that they put their minds to! And if you don 't
believe m e, consult history for the stories of Madame Curie, Florence
Nightingale, Joan of Arc, and Delilah.)

Something new lias been added . , .
Most people find their Thanksgiving turkeys filled with stuffing.
Gloria Benner, Liz Patton, and Lucky Pliscott apparently found theirs
filled with something a little less fattening, and quite a bit more thrilling. Take a glance at their third finger, lef t har d , and you 'll see what
I mean. Congratulations, girls!
