LESTER M. BENJAMIN. Schedule Problems 177779'? -| This thing of making Schedules out to the satisfaction of all fconcerned is ???some??? headache, take it I'rom Dr. E. H. Nelson, who has been j I landling the schedules at the College * I lor years and doing such a good job of ' It that Bloomaburg plays a more rep-1 | resentative schedule in all sports than : Imy other teachers college in the I Keystone State. if The doctor got a letter the other day I -rom Frostburg, Md., where a negro i I lormal school would like to arrangel I jome and home baseball games for I his Spring. Bloomaburg. playing a I leavier schedule than most of the f fchools, had to reply that it regretted I ts inability to accept the invitation. | Football Woes M The football lay-out for next Fall Jrias presented one of the most per-1 flexing problems in years. It is the' of Bloomsburg to have a dif- ! ???fferent opponent for Home Coming Day each year. That involves shifting the list and then the troubles i start. Lock Haven???s gridiron champions inf ; the Teachers College ranks are the here next October. Buti jwhen that shift was made it presented' a problem of when to meet Slippery t . Rock and that isn???t solved yet and' nay not be until 1938. In that event I || foe Huskies may play only seven names next fall. Under a home and1 |j-iome arrangement the Huskies owej ???foe Western Pennsylvania school i Mail and it will be even if de. r ??? ved twelve months - > If the Huskies do play a seven game r schedule for 1937 it will be sort of a|| 'educed ration in a land of plenty for i;??? >oth Kutztown and West Chester are : damoring to get on the schedule. 31oomsburg is just as eager to have hem but dates available don???t fit. 1 | Eventually both schools will be back >n the Husky grid, program. Every- Dody hopes it will be next year and nost are confident it will be at least ay 1939. W. Chester Ball Game Out West Chester and Kutztown, in fact, want on all schedules with Bloomsburg. Kutztown is now on the base-; ball schedule and both will be on the next basketball schedule. It was hoped Bloomsburg could play West Chester at the latter place in baseball on April 24th, the date the Philadelphia branch of the Bloomsburg Alumni banquets in the Quaker City, but West Chester is booked for that date and meeting in the national pastimeJs off for a year.

FANNING 3/20/37 Millersville State Teachers College has taken the initiative in forming an I Eastern State Teachers College Basket | ball Conference. Lee E. Boyer, secretary of the athle- I tic committee at Millersville, has written to Coach George Q. Buchheit of r the College inquiring if Bloomsburg would be interested in sending a rep- i resentative to Harrisburg to draw up ?? schedule and select officials. Such a conference would be a dis- i tenet benefit to the schools and the Wort. In the past Bloomsburg has played the most representative schedule year in and year out. Lock Haven imore and more is listing contests with : all eastern colleges in its class and: Shippensburg. Millersville and Kutz- ] town are doing the same. But some of the teachers colleges j play only a few contests in their class. They hope to have those few games | with schools playing representative '* Schedules and then if they win from ; them often times make that the basis; : (for a state teachers college champion-\ Ik-iip claim. That, at best, can carry ; [little prestige. ileal Basis for Judging ' If a basketball conference is formed! in the east with Mansfield, Millers-1 ville, Kutztown, Bloomsburg, Easts Stroudsburg, Lock Haven. Shippers-1 burg and West Chester all in and each" playing every other member once dr I twice, the team that finished with the I best percentage could claim the eastern title and have something to back; up the claim, The ideal setup, of course, would be.' to have the western colleges form ' ~ wajif jiwwijuixi m iiihi i ??????iwimapp, - ??? their conference to include Slippery i??ock, Indiana. California, Edinboro and Clarion and choose a conference | winner. Then these sectional title -holders could meet and that winner, for perhaps the first time in the State???s history, could lay claim to the State Teachers College basketball crown in Pennsylvania without fear of contradiction.Conference competition, further, would increase interest and that always means increased revenue. Few would object to that feature. , Millersville 1937 Claimant Millersville, which divided with ??? Bloomsburg during the past winter, laid claim to the title this year. It has a good record???the best in the eastand did well against western competition but just the same under the present setup its claim wasn't any too clear cut. Slippery Hock wrote us during late aeason to inquire about the eastern leader which they wanted to challenge to a game on a neutral court. Slippery' Hock at that time had played a half dozen games with teachers col- j leges and won them all. The Rockets % were advised that Millersville was thel team to challenge. The next thing heard about the' | title race was that Millersville claimed it and did so without meeting Slippery Rock. They must feel, however, that the claim isn???t as conclusive as it , might be for now they want to form a * conference. Anyway, it???s a good idea and if it goes through you will see more interest in teachers college basketball than, ever before. I Rucknell Wants a Ball Game Bloomsburg has for several seasons been interested in scheduling Buck-/ nell University in baseball. Thus far the two institutions have failed to gettogther.| This Spring, B. W. Griffith has writer to offer the date of Wednesday, Aoril 21st, for a game at Lewisburg. It is doubtful if this will be acceptable to Bloomsfcurg for the Huskies are scheduled to open at Millersville on Saturday. April 17th, and the following Monday meet Susquehanna.
