THIRD MEMBER OF MUSIC DEPARTMENT HAS COMPLETED STUDY AT FONTAINBLEU

Charles Henderson, instructor in piano at the Wilkes Col- lege School of Music, is the third member of the faculty in that department to have completed a course of study at Fontainbleu. Others who have attended this internationally-known music center in southern France are Donald Cobleigh, head of the department, and Wilbur Isaacs, voice instructor. Mr. Hender- son, who returned from there several weeks ago, was awarded the first prize in the annual solfege competition.

Mr. Henderson's trip to Europe was arranged for him by the well- known French bass, Doda Conrad, who appeared in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton as a soloist on several occasions. He is remembered par- ticularly for his performance at the memorial concert given in hon- or of the late Paul Gies, founder of the music school at Wilkes. The singer and Mr. Henderson had been friends since the last world war, when both performed in a series of concerts given for convalescent soldiers at the Walter Reed Hos- pital in Washington, D. C.

In January of this year, when plans were being formed for the Bach Festival in France, it was suggested that Mr. Henderson par- ticipate by transporting from Wilkes-Barre and playing a valu- able antique organ which had been owned and prized by Mr. Gies. This plan did not materialize since it would have entailed too much ex- pense. However, Mr. Henderson attended all the concerts connected with the 200th anniversary of the great composer's death and parti- cipated by making recordings of two Bach cantatas with Mr. Con- rad.

SENIORS SCHEDULE DANCE FOR OCT. 20

The Class of '51 is at it again. Not entirely, but at least sufficient- ly rejuvenated by the summer's vacation, the Class is back in the swing of things on the campus.

First thing off the planning board this fall is a Senior Class Sport Dance to be held 0'tober 20th -- that's a week tonight -- in the new gym.

The Class, noted for its sumptu- ous ballroom decorations, will take a flyer at decorating the gym for the dance. "It refuses t staka its great reputation on the possible result, however," warns Wade Hay- hurst, decorations chairman.

Johnny Line and his music com- mittee are more Sure of themsel- ves. They guarantee that their tempos will move everyone's feet toward the dance floor, instead of toward the coke bar.

Speaking of the floor, please be at ease, those of you who are re- memberin how "undanceable" a newly varnished gym floor is. The Seniors warrant that the floor on Friday nic"ht will have just the right amount of "slide" built into it.

The greatest treat scheduled for the evening, will be the appearan- ce, laryngitis wil1in, of the school's now-famed Mudgutters. The 'gut- ters have been officially proclaim- ed Wyoming Valley's finest bar- bershop quartet. And that procla- mation was made last year. You should hear 'em now!

For that matter, do hear 'em now! There's probably an eager Senior breathing down your neck right this minute. Let him supply you with tickets for your entire gang, and then swoop down on the gym Friday night.

This recently organized campus group consisted of 12 members last year, but a far greater turn- out is expected for this semester.

Jack Phethean, temporary presi- dent, point out that the Society, which meets twice a month, is one of the most informal clubs on the campus.

Membership is open to all stu- dents interested in creative writ- ing, both of prose and poetry. At the meetings, the members inform- ally discuss one another's work, learn better writing techniques, offer helpful comments and con- structive criticism, develop literary potentialities, and in general sti- mulate their journalistic interest and ability.

A faculty advisor will be select- ed at Thursday's meeting. Last year, Dr. Arthur N. Kruger served in this position, while Jack Phe- thean was president, Bob looper vice president, Marion Weltman secretary, and Frances Trembath treasurer.

The Society was founded last year by Dr. Kruger after a great number of students approached him, wishing to informally continue with creative writing after college. After several months of progres- sive, productive meetings the Liter- ary Society had become one of the college's most important organiza- tions.

Mud Gutters Group To Reorganize Tuesday

The Mud Gutters singing society is now reorganizing after having completed a successful first year. Many of the members of the or- ganization have either been gradu- ated or will be graduated in Feb- ruary. This means, of course, that if the society is to perpetuate it- self it must have some new blood. In view of that, a meeting has been called for Tuesday evening, October 17 at 7:30. The meeting will take place in Chase Lounge.

All who are interested are asked to be on hand.

It is the belief of the society that harmonious singing promotes harmonious living, and the society is striving to attain at Wilkes a "singing" campus. The society is open, thus far, for male voices only.

Don't forget, Tuesday evening Chase Lounge-7 :30.

WILKES COLLEGE CHEER LEADING SQUAD

Mayor Luther M.Kniff en, Councilman Oliver I. Price, direct- or of streets and public improvements, and Guy B. Walker, city and planning engineer, among others, have decided that the parking situation at Wilkes must be cleared up. In the very near future we shall see the problem solved. According to lat- est reports, a 500 car parking lot is to be constructed beneath the west end of the Market Street bridge.

The officials feel that the park- jag problem on River Street, as well as on streets throughout the city, has been made more acute since the increase in the number of college students, both from Wil- kes and King's, who drive to school each day. An additional feature of the plan is that approximately 250 of the cars will have all weath- er parking under the huge arches of th.e bridge.

The parking problem has been confronting city officials, 'Wilkes officials, and Wilkes students a- like for many months, growing in importance when the gymna- sium replaced a large parking lot and when, just recently, the police department decided to end all-day parking on the lower end of River Street.

A survey recently showed that many Wilkes students were driv- ing to school when there was rio absolute need to do so. Also the check revealed that there is con- siderable space behind the South River Street buildings of the col- lege and that a majority of the students' cars could be parked on campus if these areas were adapt- ed for such use.

One point to be remembered is this: Although the cars of students

were specifically mentioned, the officials made it clear that the under-the-bridge parking lot will be for all motorists feeling the need of parking space for an ex- tended time.

The parking lot will be Super- vised by uniformed or special rim-

trolmen of the bureau of police, but none of these details have been worked out pending the comple- tion of engineering data and the actual improvements of the area for suitable parking conditions. Ed. note:- This long awaited for lot will mark another sten in mak- ing Wilkes-Barre and Wilkes Col- lege efficient organizations. The congested parking and traffic con- ditions will be greatly relieved with the completion of the propos- ed parking lot. A tip of the hat is in order for the official, "who realized the need and acted to saris- fy that need".

ATTENTION!

Monday evening the Modern Lan- guage Department is showing the French film. "Volpone". in the Lec-

ture Hall at 8 o'clock. The film will have English sub.fltles.

THREE-YEAR STUDY SHOWS CAUSES

FOR STUDENTS' FAILURES IN COLLEGE

Easton, Pa.(I.P.)--Retarded reading and broken homes are among the main causes for students' failures in college, Prof. Frank R. Hunt, dean of students at Lafayette College, says after a three-year study of reasons for failures.

Dean Hunt asserts that too many printed page. The remedy, he sug- students arrive at college with in- gests, is smaller classes, more adequate preparation, a limited teachers, a more careful selection vocabulary and a general inability of those planning to prepare for to comprehend issues from the college and more personal atten-

tion to those students. As for home environment, Prof.

Hunt says that the great increase in the divorce rate since World War I has resulted in many stu- dents in college from broken homes. The common results of the student's emotional reaction from broken homes is inability to con- centrate on the work at hand, the dean holds.

His study has shown that such a student has lost his sense of secur- ity, is fi'equently torn between loy- alty to one or thoth parents, is ill at ease in accepting invitations from friends to visit their homes because he cannot reciprocate, and often feels responsible for the fin- ancial support of his mother.

Other reasons listed for failures include financial factors, inability to work independent of supervision and lack of experience in using the freedom which is found in college life.

The Intra-mural lac-gues In Bowl- ing and Touch Football will get un- derway on Monday. October 16.

EDITORIAL

A COMPLIMENT

We wish to compliment an individual for the fine work which he has done for Wilkes College. Vester V. Vercoe, as president of the student council of 1949 and as president of last year's Junior Class deserves all the praise we can give him. He has been instrumental in making Wilkes a better school.

At the same time, we would like to wish the new student council president, Bob Eltus, all the luck in the world. We feel certain that he, too, will capably lead the student body toward better things.

- r rV- -rrrw Men In Service

We hope, in the future, to bring to your attention the whereabouts of ex-Wilkes students who have made the trek into service again or for the first time.

This week we learned the lo- cation of two former Wilkes stu- dents, Al Jacobs and Paul Shiffer.

Albert B. Jacobs was very ac- tive on campus last year as a member of the Junior class. He was the guiding force behind the Junior-Senior dance and was ac- tive as a member of the Student Council. A member of the Cue 'n' Curtain Club, Al shined as a gunman in the one act production last year entitled "Back Home." His scholastic work was also of high quality.

Al attended Fory-Fort High School and was a member of the Dramatics and Glee Clubs there.

During World War II, he spent 14 months in the army. Ten of those fourteen months were spent with the army of occupation in Trieste. He enlisted in the inac- tive reserves upon his discharge. Just rec.ently his status was ac- tivated, and he was assigned to the 11th Airborne Division.

His address is:

PFC. ALBERT B. JACOBS A.S.N. 13249725 Co. A 511 A. I. B. Fort Campbell. Kentucky

Paul Shiffer left for the army during the past summer. Hail- ing from Tunkhannock, Paul came to Wilkes back in 1947. He join.ed Reese Pelton's campus orchestra and also played in the school band. He gained recognition at the BEA- CON Cabaret Party last year with some fine vocal endeavors.

He is most remembered on cam- pus for his exceptionally fine work as a member of the Cue 'n' Cur- tain Club. As head of the lighting crew, Paul consistantly gained mention from all who witnessed Cue 'n' Curtain productions. He was a credit to the dramatic or- ganization.

Paul is a veteran of World War II. He reenlisted and was re- a,ssigned. Within a short time he was journeying toward Japan, where he is now stationed.

PUBLIC SPEAKING

MORE HELPFUL THAN

FRESHMAN ENGLISH

Raleigh, N. C.(I.P.)-----College students learn more about gram- mar and diction from public speak- ing than they do from elementary freshman English, according to tests reported by a North Carolina State College staff member.

Louis Hall Swain, assistant pro- fessor of speech in the department of English, published the test re- sults in a recent issue of the Quarterly Journal of Speech.

Data obtained from tests and re- tests of 98 students showed that 78 per cent gained more in gram- mai' and diction from a public speaking course, set up to "ignore" elementary grammar and diction, than from their first-quarter Eng- lish course, which was designed to cover that field.

On the basis of the test results, Professor Swain recommended that "colleges desiring to teach or re- teach the recognition of errors in written usage should consider sub- stituting a term in public speaking in place of the conventional first term in freshman English" and "English departments desiring to stress truly functional grammar and diction should include enow"h units of oral composition to make up at least one-third of the daily schedule for freshman English."

many interesting reactions: A Pre-Med: Whips out his first aid kit and checks for broken bones

and lacerations. A Philo. Student: Philosophizes with such a statement as "with the

right attitude one could get a bounce out of this." An Engineer: Counts the stairs, computes his velocity and tries to de-

STUDENT COUNCIL

OFFICERS ELECTED

Last Tuesday evening the Stu- dent Council of Wilkes College elected Bob Eltus, president; Toni Menegus, vice president; Wade Hayhurst, treasurer; Connie Smith, secretary.

Bob Eltus, the new president of the Council is a senior. Last year he was the Junior Representative to the Council. He is an accounting major and a member of Wilkes Economic Club.

Toni Menegus, a senior, was a member of the 1947 Student Coun- cil. She is an economics major and a member of Theta Delta Rho and the Wilkes cheering squad.

Wade Hayhurst, the treasurer of the Council, is also an economics major. He is a member of Cue 'n' Curtain, the cheerleading squad, the economics club. He was recent- ly elected vice president of the senior class.

Connie Smith is a Political Science Major. She is a sophomore dormitory student and a repre- sentative of the 1949 Student Coun- cil. Miss Smith is a member of the Manuscript, the IRC, and the cheer- leading squad.

After the reorganization, the Council adopted several resolu- tions, and a dance was scheduled for tonight.

COLLEGE POETRY

CONTEST ANNOUNCED

The National Poetry Association announces the seventh annual com- petition of College Students Poet- ry.

The closing date for the submis- sion of manuscripts by all College Students is November 5.

Any student attending either junior or senior college is eligible to submit his verse. There is no limitation as to form or theme. Shorter works are preferred by the Board of Judges, because of space limitations.

Each poem must be typed or printed on a separate sheet, and must bear the name and home ad- dress of the student, as well as the name of the college attended, and the college year.

In 1949, some 21,000 manuscripts were received in the college compe- tition, from practically every col- lege in the country.

There are absolutely no fees or charges for either acceptance or submission of verse. All work will be judged on merit alone.

Manuscripts should be sent to the offices of the Association. National Poetry Association, 3210

STUDENT GOVERNMENT REPORTS

The 1950-51 Student Council of Wilkes College held its first fall meeting on Tuesday, October 10th, and the first business of the day was the election of officers. Bob Eltus was elected to serve as President of the Student Body, and the other officers elected were: Vice-President, Toni Menegus; Treasurer, Wade Hayhurst; Secretary, Connie Smith.

A vote of thanks was proposed, and all the members of the Council rose to show their appreciation of the untiring service of the retiring President, Vester Vercoe.

Discussion was held on a proposal regarding sport dances made by a former Council member, Al Jacobs. The plan, as presented by Wade Hayhurst, is to invite a Senior Class from a different valley high school each week to attend the Wilkes sports dances. The plan is excellent public relations for the school, and would also increase the attendance at the dances and help fill the gymnasium. The Council decided to accept the plan, and considered methods of inviting.

Asport dance was approved for Friday night, provided the cafeteria was available, and that a phonograph could be found. However, the Council learned on Wednesday that the cafeteria could not be used on Friday night, so the dance was unavoid- ably cancelled.

Dave Whitney reported on the organization of the Inter-Club Council. He and Priscilla Swczrtwood are the Council's repre- sentatives to this group, and Dave is serving as the Historian for them. While on the subject of the Inter-Club Council, the Student Council discussed its relationship with that Council. It was felt by the Council members that the Inter-Club Council should be made aware that its powers are derived from the Stu- dent Council, and that the two activities should be more care- fully integrated. The Cheerleaders' authority to direct the Home- coming activities was also discussed under this category. The Council agreed to wait until the I. C. C. is functioning, and then attempt to solve the problem.

Freshman hazing, skits at the football games, and Student Council attendance were discussed briefly before the Council adjourned.

The Student Council is the central governing body of the school, but it depends on the interest and cooperation of the Student Body to function efficiently. All students are welcome to attend the meetings and learn how their Council operates.

BEACON REPORTER INTERVIEWS PIANIST IN WILKES MUSIC INSTRUCTOR'S OFFICE

By CHUCK GLOMAN

Strolling through Gies Hall a few days ago, I was halted abruptly by a thunderous outburst of cadenzas, diminuendos, fortissimos, triads, archipeggios (and other musical expressions) emitting from the office of one of our music instructors, Bob Moran.

As I entered the office, I noticed that Mr. Moran was sitting quietly at one corner of the room listen- ing intently to th,e exotic, weird, haunting strains struggling from the piano. I immediately creeped closer in order to see this talented artist to which Mr. Moran was so ardently listening.

Through the fury of flying sheet music, waving arms, fluttering hair and twiddling fingers the "artist" continued to pound out the steadily increasing tempo of Bach's famous concerto, "He Didn't Like His Mustache At First But It Grew On Him".

Suddenly a powerful gust of wind from a nearby open window blew into the room, scattering the sheet music from the piano, lift- ing the artist's toupee from his head, across the room, and under Mr. Moran's chair.

With a gesture of obvious em- barrassment the lanky pianist ceas- ed his concerto, slammed the win- dow shut, and raced over to look for his missing toupee.

Then Mr. Moran rose from his chair and introduced me to the pianist (who had foupd his toupee and flopped it back on his head with a grunt of disgust).

"Chuck," Bob exclaimed proud- ly, "I'd like you to meet one of the greatest musicians in the country. even though he isn't very well known - Ingrido Bach Beethoven Oboe Stromboli, the great Italian pianist who is visiting Wilkes af- ter a six-month tour of the coun- try."

"Ahhh. r'reetings my good man," murmured the pianist, gazing over his over-sized spectacles.

"You seem to be rather excited, Mr. Stromboli," I remarked.

"Well, yes," he 1eplied, "You see, I have a very good reason to feel excited. We had a blessed event at our house last night!"

"You did?" "Yes," he replied, "my mother-

in-law left." "I take it you don't care very

riuch for married life," I mused. "Oh, don't get me wrong," he

nersisted. 'I'm just crazy about my ,c'ife Girdle'.

"Why do you call her 'Girdle'?" "She's always creeping up on

me." he replied. "Oh, then your wife must be a

charming person." "Yes, she is. In fact, she's a

real human dynamo!" "A dynamo?" "Yes, everything she wears is

charged!" "Mr. Stromboli, how did you

nronos.e to your wife?" "Well," he began. "I wanted to

be extremely romantic and melodra- matic so I gazed deeply into her eyes and whispered softly. 'You are the sunshine of my oul. You are so warm, so torrid. You drive away the murky clouds of despair. Mv love for you will never grow cold.'

"And she said, 'What is this. a pronosal or a weather report?'

"Whsf loes your wife look like''" "Well.' he drawled. "r won't say

the's actually very thin but when- ever she drinks a glass of tomato iu'e she looks like a thermome- ter."

'Mr. Stromboli, what I really wanted to ask you is 'Do you think that television will ever re- p1cc" the newsPaper?"

"No. Definitely not! Why. 1 don't see how television can EVER take the ulace of a newspaper."

"Why ?" "Well, you'd look pretty silly

walking home from a market with a fish wrapped up in a television set!"

"I want to thank you for this very informative int,erview, Mr. Stromboli. I suppose you're enjoy- ing your visit here at Wilkes Col- lege."

"Ah, yes, it's a fine place. My wife and I are staying at the Sterling Hotel. We have a room on the eighth floor overlooking Mar- ket Street,"

"Really? Well I have a confes- sion to make."

"What's that?" "You should keep the shades

down. Last night I passed the hotel and happened to look up at your room. And do you know what I saw?"

"What?" "I saw you kissing your wife!" "That's one on you," he laugh-

ed. "I wasn't even home last night." *** * *

Canadian Flag Added To Vast Collection

The flag of Canada was added to a rapidly-growing collection of the flags of the world at the Ame rican Institute for Foreign Trade. Presentation of the emblem was made to Dr. William L. Schurz, president of the Institute, by Miss Jean Myers of Dauphin, Manito-

ha, Canada, who has just assumed her post as resident nurse at the Thunderbird Campus.

In order to familiarize students with flags of other nations, the different national emblems are flown from the main flagpole on the school grounds. Since the found- ing of the school, in 1946, the foreign flag has flown alongside the stars and stripes as a symbol of the international aspect of the school.

WEST SIDE FRESHMEN

Jerry Jacka, chief custodian at the school, has arranged a schedule whereby the foreign flags are changed three times a week. He prepares a weekly schedule and places it on the bulletin board so that students can learn the differ- ent flags.

The school's collection now in- chides flags of all the 20 Latin American Republics, Canada, the United Kingdom and France.

DORMERS AT HOME

AWAY FROM HOME

By Betty Ann Smith The following opinions were ex-

pressed by the veteran and non- veteran dorm students living at the newly decorated girls' dorm, the former Sterling home, about the life at the dormitory.

Vera Kohl, a freshman, said, "I like meeting new girls and making new friends. Our chap- eron, Mrs. Davis, is just like a second mother to all of us. There is oni y one thing that annoys me. My room faces River Street, and whenever I look out the vindow there seems to he another accident caused by reckless driving. All those traffic jams at night don't make things much quieter either.

love it here thoueth." Sandy ChesTer liked the food

best. "That Fred is a wonderful cook!" She thinks the dorm has a homey atmosphere but thinks, too, that a piano would make it more like home.

Nancy Ralston, president of the dorm, is a veteran "dormer" of three years. She says, "Thinrs are much nicer this year than in pre- vious ones. The rooms are beauti- ful and we can fix them up any way we want to. Living there is just like living at home, because everyone is friendly and we all get along together. I agree with Sandy about the food."

Another veteran is Scotty Ruth- erford. This is her fourth year as a dorm resident. Scotty thinks the best improvement is having the dining room for resident students. "It is much nicer than eating in the cafeteria. I like the whole new layout The large rooms are easier to keep clean, and they give you more room to dig into your high piled homework."

Colonels' EDTYBURSKI Corner

The Colonels will play host to the Ithaca College Bombers to- nlvrrow night at Huber Field in Plymouth with the game starting at 8:00 o'clock. Last year Wilkes came out on the long end of a 28-6 score. This year might very well prove a different story.

The Colonels seemed to have found themselves last week against the University of Bridgeport even though they dropped the contest 25-13. Nicholas was the big offensive gun, scoring both of the tallies that counted for the 'Colonels. One of the first quarter scores was called back when Wilkes was detected holding. Seems as though a colonel got too chummy for the frigid New Englanders.

With four minutes left in the first half, Bridgeport kicked-off to Wilkes after scoring their first T. D. The Colonels took the ball and started a drive for paydirt. Some two minutes later they were in striking distance to put it vulgarly. spitting distance of the goal when they tried to call time out. One of the officials seemed to think that the Colonels had already taken their alloted rest periods, and even though the Ralstonmen were willing to take a penalty to stop the clock, the official declined the request. After this controversy, the Colonels came out of the huddle with grim determination, but, alas, as Jones settled himself over the ball, the whistle shrilled, and the half was over.

Now, don't get us wrong. We're not advertising for the well- known "crying towel". No, Suh! That's the farthest thing from our minds. In all fairness to the men in white who officiated the game, and to the victorious Bridgeporters, we're not saying that the Colonels would have won the game had not these little incidents occurred. We only cited them to back our point that the Colonels have found them- selves.

If memory serves us correctly, way back in 1948, the Colonels began the season in a similar way. They dropped their first contest to Bloomsburg 25-0 and their next to St. Francis 31-0, then they started winning ways. In fact they went on to win six games and tie the then strong Mansfield eleven. They continued their winning ways in '49 with six more victories before they lost a close game to Rider 41-34. Could be a new cycle is starting!

When we started learning to type, little did we realize that that famous practice phrase, "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country," would jar us from our lethargic illusion'. Last Tuesday night Don Tosh, Co-Captain of the Soccer team, left to go to the aid of his country. This same week 'Coach Partridge received anohter blow when Charlie Jackson received his walking papers. Coach Ralston is in a dither without a zither since his star fullback Russ Picton was recalled by the Marines. Tomorrow night will be the last time for Wilkes' students to see Russ in action for quite some time. This will be the last time he will a.ppear in the uniform of the Colonels for he changes to the uniform of the Marines next week. Now would be the ideal time for us to imply Coach Ralston to pull some "Rockne Philosophy". Let's go out and win this one for Russ, Boys.

This brings to mind a famous story told of R.ockne by Bill Stern. We don't know it verbatim, so we'll just acknowledge the fact that it is Stern's story. Once when Rockne's Fighting Irish was losing a game to Georgia Tech, Rock entered the dressing room at the half with a batch of telegrams in his hands. He read wires from former Notre Dame greats, but finally he chocked up and said, "Here's one from my son. It says: 'I want Daddy's team to win'." Rock took time out to wipe his eyes, then went on, "Boys, that youngster of mine is lying on a hospital cot back in South Bend, a mighty sick boy. I've promised to bring him the Georgia Tech football as a present." He paused and looked around at his players, slowly. Then he said in a crisp, insinuating voice, "Are you going to let that kid down?"

Well, Notre Dame went on to win the game after a hard struggle, but they won it for Rockne's kid who was sick in a hospital in South Bend. As they walked off the field, tired and weary, who should meet them but a healthy, six-year old youngster waving a Notre Dame pennant and yelling:

"Hooray, my pop's team won!" It was Knute Rockne's little boy, who was supposed to be back in

South Bend, seriously ill. What do you say, Colonels? Let's get this one for Russ.

WILKES ROOTERS BOOTED, LOSE 5-0;

PETR!LAK SP!RKLES AT DEFENSE POST

By PAUL B. BEERS

It was Parker Petrilak against East Stroudsburg State Teachers' College last Saturday, and he lost. But it wasn't with- out a struggle. With 11-1 odds against him, old Parker felt like the Phillies aoing into the last inning but he held on savagely. losing only 5-0. The latest word from the bookies is that Mr. Charles Petrilak is a good bet at any odds. The Kid is a very valuable piece of protoplasm.

WILKES COLLEGE SOCCER TEAM

By PAUL B. BEERS

This has been a very miserable week for Bob Partridge. The soccer team lost a tough one to Franklin and Marshall, and then got murdered by East Stroudshurg: Penn, his Alma Mater, got laid.out in football by California; and then to top it off, his dearly-beloved Phillies went and blew four straight in tho Series! Life isn't always beautiful, you know . . . Parker Petrilak did a tremendous job in that goal last Saturday. the likes of which I have seen only once before. Two years ago Flip Jones' old roommate shutout Northeast High in such fashion to retain the Philadelphia City Championship for Girard Talking about Girard College, there were four Girardians in Saturday's game. The Colonels' halfback slots were filled with them. Flip Jones, Bill Mergo, and Bennie Beersand East Stroudsburg had a Girard outside left. The irony of it is that Girard is Northeast's. Coach Partridge's old school, chief rival for the Philadelphia City Championship . . . Last week was a bad week for the Colonels. A few fellows have late classes, so they can be excused for not showing up at practice. but that doesn't go for the other members of the team. Last week there was a lot of gold digging, and it wasn't at "scenic Kirby Pak". As a result of the poor turnouts, Partridge wasn't able to get one scrimmage in. You don't get winnning teams this way. The East Stroudsburg game proved it , , . Jim Stocker has been on my back for weeks to get his name in the paper. The name is James Morton Stocker. son of Lassie , , Partridge has made a name for himself in the files of great detectives. Every Friday night ho takes-off around the various loints. sending his flock home to bed so that they'll be ready for Saturday's game. 'Last week he cnased little Cleddy and Izzy Ecker home from Howard's. Hi missed Preston Eckmeter who was looking in the window . . . And we mustn't forget the fine work of the scccer team's remarkable line-runner, Mr. Robert Q. Moran. Without a doubt, he is the greatest thing to hit the line-running business in years, The ball goes out of bounds. Keen-eyes Moran spots it and with majestic splendor he runs up and throws his filthy jersey on the ground. And then like Meichoir at the Met, he raises his head and in that clear, sonorous, beautiful voice, that sounds like a frog in one of Mendelssohn's "Summer Nights". he hollars "Wilkes ball", though any fool could see that Earle Wolfe kicked it out. What would we do without him? Bravo to you. songsterlong may you chirp! . . . Uncle Sammy played a dirty trick on the team when he hauled co-captain Don Tosh into the Marines. Don was one of the better boys on that club . . . Partridge lost another man Saturday when Ed Wheatley dislocated his shoulder in the East Stroudsburg game. It was quite unexpected, Ed got in a tangle over the ball with one of the Teachers. When the grunting was over. Ed lost the boll and nearly his shoulder. He'll be out for the season. Memo: he was wearing number 13!

Of course, Wilkes had more men out on that soccer field to face East Stroudsburg 'than just Parker -- ten more in fact -- but that is irrelevant, immaterial, unimport- ant, and hadn't the least bit to do with the outcome of the game, Methinkest the score would have 'been the same if the boys "stood" in bed and let Parker handle every- thin, which he was doing anyway. Parker was (he only nut that the Teachers couldn't crack. While the rest of the Colonels were as daad as old John himself, Parker was very much alive, The truth of the matter is that he didn't have time to die. Throughout the full 88 minutes of the bailgame, he was busier than a one-armed paper- hanger.

This was the bailgame that the Colonels figured to take. Two Saturdays in a row they had been robbed, and now they were goin.g to do a little winning themselves. What a jolt! One minute hadn't gone by when the facts came to life -- East Stroudsburg was Ted-hot

and Wilkes wasn't'. The Teachers were 'the ae'p'ressors all the way. In every phase of soccer they came out on top. Wilkes was out-hustl- ed. out-nlaveil. beaten to the ball, and out-scored by a team that couldn't compare to the Franklin and Marshall outfit that the Colo- nels hal nearly beaten a week before. That's this came of soccer -- some days you have it and some days you don't,

It took the Teachers a full fif- teen minutes t.o score on Parker Petrilak. Only twice in that first period did the Colonels have the ball in Fost Stroudsburg's terri- tory, All the rest of the time it was ric'ht-smack in fr"nt of our goal. But they couldn't nut it in. Old Parker was bouncing around in that goal like a madman, swoopirto' them up. drivin after 'them, stabbing at them, but stop- ning them. It got so that the East Stroudshurg fans were cheer- ing our die-hard goalie instead of their fair-haired bruisers. Finally, their center forward, Rinehart, slipped past our defenses and let the ball fly at the goal, no more than four yards away. It came in low and fast in the corner. Park- er did a belly-flopper to get it,

TUG 0' WAR TO BE FEATURED TOMORROW

NIGHT; PICTON TO JOIN MARINES SOON

Still looking for its first victory of the season, Coach George Ralston's Wilkes College grid machine has begun preparations for its third encounter of the season Saturday night, when the Colonels play host to Ithaca College at Huber Stadium, Ply- mouth. Game time is 8 o'clock.

The battle with Ithaca will also see the Colonels looking for their second win in two meetings with Coach Pete Hatch's club. In 1949 the teams met for the first time and the Wilkes eleven walked off the field with a 28-6 victory in one of the toughest games on its schedule.

The Ithaca eleven has broken even in two games played this fall. They lost to the University of Bridgeport by a 13 to 6 count and tagged an 18 to 14 defeat on Brockport State Teachers College.

The Bombers are coached by Harold (Pete) Hatch, an alumnus of Ithaca, class of '36, who played football on the same team with Eddie Sawyer, manager of the Philadelphia Phillies. Hatch is as- sisted in his coaching duties by Joseph Hamilton.

The Ithaca mentor has lost 12 lettermen from last year's squad but also has 20 experienced grid- ders returning.

Like Wilkes, Ithaca has had to rebuild its forward wall. Coach Hatch has four new faces in his line to fill in the gap left by the graduated lettermen.

The Ithaca eleven is also hurt- ing in another department. They are looking for a man who can boot the pigskin through the up- rights for that all-important extra -point. This season, the Bombers have failed in all four conversion attempts.

One of the features of Satur- day's tilt will be the first annual tug-of-war between the Wilkes freshmen and upperclassmen to decide whether the freshmen will continue to adhere to the upper- class restrictions. The event, which will be staged at half time, will pit two teams of 12 men each in a battle to pull the opposing club across the 50-yard stripe.

Saturday's grid battle will also see one of the top Wilkes stars swing into action for the last time this season. Ralston reported yes- terday that Russ Picton, his hard- running fullback and ace passer, has received notice to report back to his Marine outfit and will play with the Colonels or the last time in the Ithaca clash.

Ralston also reported yesterday that after his team's fine showing in its game with the University of Bridgeport last Saturday night, he feels that the club is ready to drop its losing habits and break into

the win column. The Colonels played outstanding ball for the major portion of the Bridgeport tilt and with a few breaks could have pulled through with an upset win.

Al Nicholas paced the Colonels, scoring two touchdowns and regis- tered another, which was called back because of a pushing penalty. The Colonels were on the three- foot line, driving for their third touchdown in the first half, when the period ended.

The Bridgeport tilt saw Ralston pull several strengthening changes in his lineup, when he named Nicholas to the first-string tail- hack slot, replacing Leo Castle, and Al Manarski to the wingback position. Both spent most of the evening racing around the Bridge- port ends for long gains. Another change saw Ray Engler move up

FOR SPORT FANS ONLY

Mull over this query. . . Did the fans boo Cosey Stengel during the fourth game of the World Series, when he yanked Ed Ford. because they felt Ford was weakening and felt that the Phils would stand a chance to win if he stayed in the game (as some Philadelphia writ- ers believed)or because they felt that the young hurler could win his own game (which he eventual- ly got credit for) and become the youngest pitcher ever to win a World Series game (as New York writers claimed)?

We sort of feel that the fans wanted to see the 21 year old youngster go all the way to win his own game.

to a varsity guard slot. A big 200- pounder, Engler handled one of the backfield slots for the Colonels until the Bridgeport clash. The former Newport High Schol grid- der played a bang-up game for the Colonels and helped stop many Bridgeport drives.

"Cleaned and Pressed" Shatters All Records

Last Monday night the Cue 'n' Curtain set a new record. The re- cord for the longest run of any play produced at Wilkes was shat- tered. The play, "Cleaned and Pressed", a one-act comedy receiv- ed its 15th performance. This broke the previous record of 1 A

which was held by "Pot Boiler", a one-act farce. "Cleaned and Press- ed" was first performed at Wilkes in the spring semester of 1949. It was well received and soon went on the road where it played to "roaring" audiences in nine Jo-cal high schools.

The original cast is still intact. The cast includes, "Skinny" Ennis, Earl (79 yards, 6 feet, and four inches) Wolfe, Diana Campus, AnnaBelle Perry and Barbara Close.

Nancy Fox, Jane Saiwoski. Beth Badman, Nancy Raub, and Elaine Nesbitt.

WILKES BOOTERS BOOTED

(continued from page 5) but he only came up covered witl' dirt. That was the first one. Tb. other four were gotten much in the same manner. Parker never had a chance for them, or they would have been stopped. All told, Petrilak let 5 shots go through out of 51! His percentage for the afternoon was a cool 90.2%! Most -oslics consider themselves good if they let 25 35% go through.

As for the Colonels, they were not doing so well. Whereas East Stroudsburg got 51 shots at our o'oal. we got mdv a m.easely 2 at ±heir's. Our backfield was having the time of its life trying to get the ball -away from our goal, so they couldn't feed the line. When the lin.e did get the ball, they ha it for a second or so arid then - wham, it was gone. Newcomer F1i1 Jones was a hrbrht snot. The Flip- per came through with beautiful day, but b.c too found the Teachers to he very provoking.

The -Colonels are idle for two weeks, then they travel down, to Rloomsburg to meet the Huskies. During the past two years, the Huskies have scored only four more goals than the 'Colonels, but have beaten them three times! Whether it is unconstitutional or immoral to beat Bloomsburg, I don't know, but from now on the Colonels are going to be delin- quents.
