Grapplers End Season Undefeated SPORTS SHdTS
Courtmen Now 8-4
Swimmers Downed
As They Win 73-5 7
The "new-look" Husky basketeers brought their over-all record
to eight wins-four losses with triumphs over Kutztown State College (78-66 ) and East Stroudsburg
State College (73-57). Before the
East Stroudsburg game, the Huskies were in third place in league
play, hot on the heels of second
place West Chester, which was
trampled by Mansfield .
The East Stroudsburg game was
close until the final three minutes
of action. The play became so heated in the first half that a little fisticuffs broke out under the backboard, but it was hastily broken up
by both coaches and the referees.
The see-saw battle saw E a s t
Stroudsburg walk off at halftime
with a 27-25 lead.
Lloyd Starts Drive
The second half started out the
same way until, with sbc minu tes
rema in ing and t he Warri ors from
East Stroudsburg leading 48-45,
Dick "Dino" Lloyd hit a lay-up and
a jumper to put us into the lead
49-48, then Freshman Fran Curn
swished two jumpers to put us into
a 53-48 lead—a lead we never relinquished. Gary Rupert turned in
another one of his exciting, allaround performances, scoring 25
points and handing off innumerable
assists, Lloyd contributed 19 points
and Flip Houser added 14.
J.V.s Lose To East Stroudsburg1
The J.V. shooters defeated Kutztown S.C. but lost to East Stroudsburg after blowing a big lead. The
J.V.ers were scoreless for about
three minutes late in the second
half. East Stroudsburg kept picking away and finally went ahead in
the final minute of play. Jeff Garrison sank a three-quarter count set
shot at the buzzer, but it wasn't
enough as the score showed, East
Stroudsburg 65-Bloom 63.
The Huskies have four games remaining including the final home
game of the season against Cheyney, Monday, February 27. That

State Tourney
It was a night of decisions for the
Husky., grapplers as they faced
arch-rival West Chester before another capacity crowd at Centennial Gymnasium last week. The
Huskies dominated the match as
they shut out the Golden Rams 240, winning every weight class by
decision. The team , incidentally,
went into the contest without the
services of regulars, Hughes, Gorant, Sarin elli , and St eu mpfli . But
Coach Houk went to his reserves
and got outstanding performances
from four promoted J.V.'s, pointing
ou t once again t h e trem endou s
strength and depth of this year 's
team.
Meletski Wins His Second
Joel Mele t ski, Hughes's replacement , gained his second win in as
many §trts as a Varsity performer,
downing his man 4-1. Joel shows
great promise for the future, considering that he is only a Freshman.
B'ill Wyland, another Freshman,
took over Captain Gorant's position
and racked up a neat 6-2 decision
for his first Varsity win. Wyland
may be seeing a lot more action if
Gor ant's arm trouble persists.
Dick Scarese at 137 kept the ball
rolling for Bloom by shutting out
his man 5-0. Scarese commanded
the match entirely and often
seemed on the verge of showing his
man the lights.
Wri ght Wins Easily
The .Husky swimmers, who once
again showed improvement but
lack of depth and experience, were
defeated by the Lock Haven team,
55-40.
The Huskies, who haven 't won a
meet in their two years of competition , were on the brink of victory
last week. They trailed by only 9
points late in the contest.
The big point makers for the
Huskies were ever-dependable Don
Young, who won the 50 yard and
100 yard freestyle events; flashy
Nelson Swart s, who swimming the
backstroke and individual medley,
set new pool records, and the Relay Team, which consisted of Little,
Young, Swarts, and Jasper.
The team will make their final
outing this season against Lycoming College, who defeated them
earlier in the campaign . However,
the Huskies have purchased new
equipment which has stepped up
their training program in an attempt to break into the winning
column.
felter pulled out a decision in the
closing seconds. The score was all
even with 54 seconds remaining
and the visitor on top piling up riding time . Tony freed himself for an
escape and the deciding point , needing only to avoid being taken down
by back-peddling. But Tony is not
one to run and he went back into
battle and got a take-down.
Gene Dixon was his usual steady
self as he gained another decision
for the home forces by a 5-0 score
also. Gene is one of three wrestlers
undef eated at home.
Poust Beats Former Victor
Don Poust at 177 ra n into a real
cocky boy from West Chester but
the Golden Ram, undoubtedly, left
for home a bit less so as Don thrice
came within seconds of pinning
him. This was the same boy that
pinned Poust last year but Don has
improved considerably since then.
Bill Garson finished off the night
by running the string to eight decisions by winning 5-1. Bill seem s to
be gaining confidence with each
match and is a much better wrestler for it. He is also undefeated at
home
Your next chance to see the
Huskies will be in the State College
Wrestling Tournament on Friday
and Saturday, March 3 and 4. The
tournament will be held at Centennial Gym and it will feature the
best wrestlers in the state.
Gerry "Legs" Wright clamped a
powerf ul figure-four on his opponent and a pplied enough pressure

Once again the Houkmen have ridden rough-shod over the opponents I
in the State Conference. As the State Tourney starts they are heavy
favorites to walk off with the championship. However, the Huskies are
heavily laden with inj uries and some matches may be decided only by
support of the local fans. Nothing is better news than to know that the
gym is packed with your loyal and enthusiastic fans. Don 't miss this
one — the boys will be riding high as usual.
The mermen had acquired new equipment this week comparable to
that won on TV's "Sea Hunt. " This is possibly one of the best things for
the men as I understand that it requires much more intensive training
to be able to swim properly in these suits. To be more specific, it's comparable to the basketball player who ties weights to his belt, so that
when he takes them off he will be able to j ump much higher with the
same effort.
BA CK-STA GE FRIGHT
by HAZEL HUNLEY
What are celebrities made of ?.. .
if you'll excuse the prepositional
ending so that I may use the cliche.
For this was the question uppermost, in my mind as I dashed backstage to interview Basil Rathbone.
With a cub reporter's apprehension I entered backstage. I kept telling myself, "This man isn 't that
much bigger than I am even though
he was a football player in college!"
However, I could picture myself
tackling Mr. Rathbone , twisting his
arm and begging him for the
answers to a few questions. Then I
could j ust imagine chasing him to
the Magee j ust for an interview —
in spike heels on the icy sidewalks
or Main street.
After half-convincing myself that
he wou ldn't bite , I finally approached the actor who was about to give
some autographs to other students.
It was then that I gave myself
away. Mr. Rathbone asked if anyone had a pencil. I just couldn't lie.
So, with my pencil ( and who, ot her
than a reporter, would be carryin g
a little stub of a pencil) he signed
autographs.
Now somewhere I had gotten the
idea th at one also had to beg an
actor for an autograph. Not so. Mr.
Rathbone grabbed my program befnva T onulrl an\r T rUrliVt want hie

autograph — to say such didn't
seem advisable j ust the same—and
signed his name. It was right then
and there that I looked straight into his blue-gray eyes and began my
interview. And he must have read
my inquiring mind for he said, "Oh
yes, you are the interviewer."
He was quite pleased that I enjoy ed his performance. He also noted that he gains great personal
satisfaction in presenting poetry
dramatically, to not only college
students, but to many people in
many places, However, he attached
much value to dramatic presenta-
tion in college lectures by himself
and other artists, "for college dramatics should be greatly encouraged."
"Amateurs don't teach amateurs!" was the*emphatic comment
Mr. Rathbone made when asked
about drama in the college curriculum. He does favorably reconv
mend drama in the college program
but adds, "It is a great pity that
colleges have no professional actors
to teach it." Mr. Rathbone went on
to say that there is no real achievement made when amateurs teach
am ateurs , just as an amateur golfer cannot give professional training
to another golfer. In making this
analogy he reveals his enthusiasm
for sports — he also plays golf and

laii .
The latter half of "An Evening
With Basil R athbone " included the
works of William Shakespeare. A
great part of Mr. Rathbone 's career
has included his portrayals of
Shakespearian characters, not to
mention "hiccoughing Iago." In an
apprenticeship in London , he played 53 roles in 23 of Shakespeare 's
plays. Discussing the playwrite j ust
before soliloquizing Macbeth and
Hamlet, he gave this brief analysis,
"Shakespeare has been given to us

we
aren't to know it , but the intellectual will tell us. "
The dramatist did not hesitate at
all when asked about his most enjoy able role. He stated, "No other
role comes comprehensibly near to
th at of Hamlet."
Mr. Rathbone seemed to be able
to give comment to most questions
asked. But to my surprise he had no
real plans or roles in mind for the
future. He whimsically commented
that "it must come out of the air. "
And so, with due thanks, I ended
my interesting "Evening With Bas- «
il Rathbone. "

Palaces at which they receive thorough indoctrination in Communistic ideals.
Mr. Shuo supplemented his comments by showing colored slides of
his tour. Those pictures emphasized
the friendliness of the common people ( the educators were not received by any Russian government officials) and the well-equipped state
of the schoolrooms, especially the
science laboratories where models
of rockets and sputniks wore conspicuous.

Grapplers End Season Undefeated SPORTS SHdTS
Courtmen Now 8-4
Swimmers Downed
As They Win 73-5 7
The "new-look" Husky basketeers brought their over-all record
to eight wins-four losses with triumphs over Kutztown State College (78-66 ) and East Stroudsburg
State College (73-57). Before the
East Stroudsburg game, the Huskies were in third place in league
play, hot on the heels of second
place West Chester, which was
trampled by Mansfield .
The East Stroudsburg game was
close until the final three minutes
of action. The play became so heated in the first half that a little fisticuffs broke out under the backboard, but it was hastily broken up
by both coaches and the referees.
The see-saw battle saw E a s t
Stroudsburg walk off at halftime
with a 27-25 lead.
Lloyd Starts Drive
The second half started out the
same way until, with sbc minu tes
rema in ing and t he Warri ors from
East Stroudsburg leading 48-45,
Dick "Dino" Lloyd hit a lay-up and
a jumper to put us into the lead
49-48, then Freshman Fran Curn
swished two jumpers to put us into
a 53-48 lead—a lead we never relinquished. Gary Rupert turned in
another one of his exciting, allaround performances, scoring 25
points and handing off innumerable
assists, Lloyd contributed 19 points
and Flip Houser added 14.
J.V.s Lose To East Stroudsburg1
The J.V. shooters defeated Kutztown S.C. but lost to East Stroudsburg after blowing a big lead. The
J.V.ers were scoreless for about
three minutes late in the second
half. East Stroudsburg kept picking away and finally went ahead in
the final minute of play. Jeff Garrison sank a three-quarter count set
shot at the buzzer, but it wasn't
enough as the score showed, East
Stroudsburg 65-Bloom 63.
The Huskies have four games remaining including the final home
game of the season against Cheyney, Monday, February 27. That

State Tourney
It was a night of decisions for the
Husky., grapplers as they faced
arch-rival West Chester before another capacity crowd at Centennial Gymnasium last week. The
Huskies dominated the match as
they shut out the Golden Rams 240, winning every weight class by
decision. The team , incidentally,
went into the contest without the
services of regulars, Hughes, Gorant, Sarin elli , and St eu mpfli . But
Coach Houk went to his reserves
and got outstanding performances
from four promoted J.V.'s, pointing
ou t once again t h e trem endou s
strength and depth of this year 's
team.
Meletski Wins His Second
Joel Mele t ski, Hughes's replacement , gained his second win in as
many §trts as a Varsity performer,
downing his man 4-1. Joel shows
great promise for the future, considering that he is only a Freshman.
B'ill Wyland, another Freshman,
took over Captain Gorant's position
and racked up a neat 6-2 decision
for his first Varsity win. Wyland
may be seeing a lot more action if
Gor ant's arm trouble persists.
Dick Scarese at 137 kept the ball
rolling for Bloom by shutting out
his man 5-0. Scarese commanded
the match entirely and often
seemed on the verge of showing his
man the lights.
Wri ght Wins Easily
The .Husky swimmers, who once
again showed improvement but
lack of depth and experience, were
defeated by the Lock Haven team,
55-40.
The Huskies, who haven 't won a
meet in their two years of competition , were on the brink of victory
last week. They trailed by only 9
points late in the contest.
The big point makers for the
Huskies were ever-dependable Don
Young, who won the 50 yard and
100 yard freestyle events; flashy
Nelson Swart s, who swimming the
backstroke and individual medley,
set new pool records, and the Relay Team, which consisted of Little,
Young, Swarts, and Jasper.
The team will make their final
outing this season against Lycoming College, who defeated them
earlier in the campaign . However,
the Huskies have purchased new
equipment which has stepped up
their training program in an attempt to break into the winning
column.
felter pulled out a decision in the
closing seconds. The score was all
even with 54 seconds remaining
and the visitor on top piling up riding time . Tony freed himself for an
escape and the deciding point , needing only to avoid being taken down
by back-peddling. But Tony is not
one to run and he went back into
battle and got a take-down.
Gene Dixon was his usual steady
self as he gained another decision
for the home forces by a 5-0 score
also. Gene is one of three wrestlers
undef eated at home.
Poust Beats Former Victor
Don Poust at 177 ra n into a real
cocky boy from West Chester but
the Golden Ram, undoubtedly, left
for home a bit less so as Don thrice
came within seconds of pinning
him. This was the same boy that
pinned Poust last year but Don has
improved considerably since then.
Bill Garson finished off the night
by running the string to eight decisions by winning 5-1. Bill seem s to
be gaining confidence with each
match and is a much better wrestler for it. He is also undefeated at
home
Your next chance to see the
Huskies will be in the State College
Wrestling Tournament on Friday
and Saturday, March 3 and 4. The
tournament will be held at Centennial Gym and it will feature the
best wrestlers in the state.
Gerry "Legs" Wright clamped a
powerf ul figure-four on his opponent and a pplied enough pressure

Once again the Houkmen have ridden rough-shod over the opponents I
in the State Conference. As the State Tourney starts they are heavy
favorites to walk off with the championship. However, the Huskies are
heavily laden with inj uries and some matches may be decided only by
support of the local fans. Nothing is better news than to know that the
gym is packed with your loyal and enthusiastic fans. Don 't miss this
one — the boys will be riding high as usual.
The mermen had acquired new equipment this week comparable to
that won on TV's "Sea Hunt. " This is possibly one of the best things for
the men as I understand that it requires much more intensive training
to be able to swim properly in these suits. To be more specific, it's comparable to the basketball player who ties weights to his belt, so that
when he takes them off he will be able to j ump much higher with the
same effort.
BA CK-STA GE FRIGHT
by HAZEL HUNLEY
What are celebrities made of ?.. .
if you'll excuse the prepositional
ending so that I may use the cliche.
For this was the question uppermost, in my mind as I dashed backstage to interview Basil Rathbone.
With a cub reporter's apprehension I entered backstage. I kept telling myself, "This man isn 't that
much bigger than I am even though
he was a football player in college!"
However, I could picture myself
tackling Mr. Rathbone , twisting his
arm and begging him for the
answers to a few questions. Then I
could j ust imagine chasing him to
the Magee j ust for an interview —
in spike heels on the icy sidewalks
or Main street.
After half-convincing myself that
he wou ldn't bite , I finally approached the actor who was about to give
some autographs to other students.
It was then that I gave myself
away. Mr. Rathbone asked if anyone had a pencil. I just couldn't lie.
So, with my pencil ( and who, ot her
than a reporter, would be carryin g
a little stub of a pencil) he signed
autographs.
Now somewhere I had gotten the
idea th at one also had to beg an
actor for an autograph. Not so. Mr.
Rathbone grabbed my program befnva T onulrl an\r T rUrliVt want hie

autograph — to say such didn't
seem advisable j ust the same—and
signed his name. It was right then
and there that I looked straight into his blue-gray eyes and began my
interview. And he must have read
my inquiring mind for he said, "Oh
yes, you are the interviewer."
He was quite pleased that I enjoy ed his performance. He also noted that he gains great personal
satisfaction in presenting poetry
dramatically, to not only college
students, but to many people in
many places, However, he attached
much value to dramatic presenta-
tion in college lectures by himself
and other artists, "for college dramatics should be greatly encouraged."
"Amateurs don't teach amateurs!" was the*emphatic comment
Mr. Rathbone made when asked
about drama in the college curriculum. He does favorably reconv
mend drama in the college program
but adds, "It is a great pity that
colleges have no professional actors
to teach it." Mr. Rathbone went on
to say that there is no real achievement made when amateurs teach
am ateurs , just as an amateur golfer cannot give professional training
to another golfer. In making this
analogy he reveals his enthusiasm
for sports — he also plays golf and

The latter half of "An Evening
With Basil R athbone " included the
works of William Shakespeare. A
great part of Mr. Rathbone 's career
has included his portrayals of
Shakespearian characters, not to
mention "hiccoughing Iago." In an
apprenticeship in London , he played 53 roles in 23 of Shakespeare 's
plays. Discussing the playwrite j ust
before soliloquizing Macbeth and
Hamlet, he gave this brief analysis,
"Shakespeare has been given to us

we
aren't to know it , but the intellectual will tell us. "
The dramatist did not hesitate at
all when asked about his most enjoy able role. He stated, "No other
role comes comprehensibly near to
th at of Hamlet."
Mr. Rathbone seemed to be able
to give comment to most questions
asked. But to my surprise he had no
real plans or roles in mind for the
future. He whimsically commented
that "it must come out of the air. "
And so, with due thanks, I ended
my interesting "Evening With Bas- «
il Rathbone. "

school weeks sound Impressive ;
however, one should realize that
the students attend school in two
four-hour shifts dally, and that in
Grades 9-11 (public education ends
at Gi'ade 11) they work two days a
week, In their free hours the students are sent to Young Pioneer
Palaces at which they receive thorough indoctrination in Communistic ideals.
Mr. Shuo supplemented his comments by showing colored slides of
his tour. Those pictures emphasized
the friendliness of the common people ( the educators were not received by any Russian government officials) and the well-equipped state
of the schoolrooms, especially the
science laboratories where models
of rockets and sputniks wore conspicuous.
