              To Work Out Plans for Best lU 731 It 6 L3i Will Seek To Work No Hardship on Athletes; Hope For Track Improvement With a change in the athletic fields) necessary as the result of the erection of a new building, for which contracts have been awarded, the Spring athletic program of 1938 may be carried through under something of a handicap. No one is likely to complain under the circumstances and plans will in all probability be worked out so that no great handicap will fall on the athletes although in some instances the teams may do a major portion of their performing on foreign soil. The present varsity football field and likewise the scene of track and field activities has seen its last use for that purpose. Part of the new Junior High School will rest on that field. It may be possible to practice on the college campus this Spring but matches are in all likelihood going to out of the question. Perhaps the 'track and field athletes can perform \at (the fair grounds. County school boy ? athletes have performed there in the; '. past. On the other hand, with Bloomsburg I High making a comeback in track acti\ vities and with a school board new in i charge that is favorable to a well baljanced athletic program, the track may be fixed up at Athletic Park so that the College beys could perform there I along with the Panther athletes. If ithese arrangements could not be worked out all of the meets could be away from home. At the present time there are under contract, dual'meets with East Stroudsburg and Susquehanna at hose places and one with Shippensburg here. Cold weather caused cancellation of the Lock Haven meet here last Spring and an effort is being made to schedule the Bald Eagles for Bloomsburg this Spring. The Huskies will send a mile relr team to the Pcnn Relay Carnival l Philadelphia and plan to defend the' State title late in the Spring. Tn place for his meet has not been de-id ed. Both West Chester and Shippensburg are bidding for it. Lock Haven j was desirious of the meet but their new track was not completed as scheduled and they had to withdraw from the picture. The athletic field in use for the past two years and the scene of all baseball, will probably be in shape for use by the nine, although i* is planned to start m^aW?y.,the bank on the Li??ht street Road side in preparation for the /J?* out of a new football fi-ld Once things get straightened around there is going to be a splendid athletic set-up en the hill with a fine, modern gymnasium and sufficient fields for both varsity and intramural athletics. Will Give Revealing Picture of Circus Life j/Ct/st . \ Geoge Brinton Beal, for years a close friend of the Ringling brothers during which time he has gained an intimate knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes of a big top, will speak on "Through the Back Door of the Circus," at the Teachers College on Fri!day evening in another outstanding number of the College artists' course. Mr. Beal, editor, critic and lecturer, brings a graphic word picture which is supported by motion pictures in color. The pictures are the first authorized motion pictures ever made of circus life. He is now a drama critic of a Boston newspaper and during the assembly period of Friday morning he will talk on -'The Changing Theatre."

Basketball was a nice game to watch in the winter time but football was Jerry's game and he could play it, too. But when he finished Bloomsburg, spent some time at Gettysburg and then got the coaching job ati k??il ??? e*uh-a? both football and basket-T ball to think about. He gave the cage] game lots of study then and today h 3 knows the game from A to Z and is able to impart his knowledge to his students. He has gained his greatest fame as a coach in the sport. A cou-l pel of years ago an operation forced him to giye up football coaching and w s?*??* rfur"ed activity in teaching the sport not so many years ago he loved above all other*. | ("Hooks" Mylin, who became 1937's miracle man at Lafayette, admits having received three offers to leave the iEaston college.' They are reported to be from Mississippi, Mississippi State and Georgia. However, he will prob-i ably remain at Lafayette unless Penn comes up with a lucrative offer he just can't afford to turn down. And it looks at present as though the Quakers will return to graduate coaching. Using Outdoor Track Evidently hoping to get somewhere on the cinder paths next Spring, Susquehanna University track candidates are working out daily on a tenth of a mile wooden track. This was erected at the Selinsgrove institution six years ago but had not been used much the past two winters. Bloomsburg Huskies, who have steadily turned aside the Crusader track and field legions since the sport was re-instated on the hill, will meet Susquehanna at Selinsgrove next Spring.
