Dr. Nelson Addresses Catawissa Rotary Club ~T~ Dr. E. H. Nelson, of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, of Bloomsburg, was guest speaker last evening before the Catawissa Rotary Club, at which all members with the exception of two were present. The program committee for the booster meeting, June 19, met in conference following the session. ( FANNING I THE right of the Husky track and field team to rule the state teachers colleges lor another year was never so decisively established as it was at West Chester on Saturday. A glance at the summary shows that the Huskies not only took first places in hall of the lourteen events and tied in another but that in winning five of them they set new records and in another tied the existing state mark. The only event won by a Husky that did not tie or shatter a record was the 440 and that event produced one of the most thrilling finishes of the after- noon. Don Jenkins, slightly built Forty Fort youngster and a Frosb, was running about fifth and 8 yards back when the closely blanked field came down the home stretch. Then like a thoroughbred with plenty left the little fellow made the turn wide and came down the outside with a sprint that carried him by 7 boys to win by a couple of feet. His time of 51 even was half a second under the record set by Johnson, West Chester, in 1938 and equaled by Eddie Mulhern. Bloomsburg alumnus, last year. Huskies Hold Most Marks On the basis of Saturdays record breaking performance, the Huskies now hold six state records outright and one jointly with West Chester. The latter school holds foui- marks (including that of the 220-yard low hurdles run on a curve) while Cheyney and Shippensburg hold two marks each. During the meet Bloomsburg athletes erased from the record books the names of athletes- from four other schools in the discus, 120-yard high hurdles, mile and two mile. In the 880 Kemple bettered his own mark. One Bloomsburg name was erased, that of Frankie VanDevender. when the sensational negro athlete. East, of Cheyney, won the*loo in 9.6. Point System The meet was conducted on the same point basis as formerly which was 5,3, 2 and 1. The earlier considered 5. 4, 3. 2 and 1 was discarded for the year when it did not meet the approval of all of the coaches. It is probable, however, that should eight or more schools compete next year a five place scoring system would meet with favor among the school. The four place system is regarded as more satisfactory in a small field, especially when most of the competing schools do not enter full teams and the larger squads thus have a decided advantage through weight of numbers. 1941 Site Undecided Where the met will be held in 1941 was left in the hands of Coach Waters, of West Chester, and Coach Rambo, of Shippensburg. Each institution has a splendid plant and each extended an invitation. The site will be determined on which school can get the largest number of teachers colleges to participate. In other words the coach that's the best promoter gets the meet. _ The schools feel that as soon as pos sible the meet should be taken into tht West in order to instill interest in thai part of Pennsylvania. Slippery Rock has had a team several years and got a new track last year. Indiana and Edinboro started the sport this Spring. The big hitch in going west is thaf the majority of the schools competing are in the east and the meet cornea near the close of the college year and) !at a time when the balance in the bud* get isn't very hefty. I Couldn't Get Timing Matt Kashuba, the nicest piece oi high jumping machinery that has evel been on college hill, just couldn't gel his timing working in the state meeC and had to be content with sharini first place with two other boys. Up to the time the bar went to 5 feet 11 inches Matt had gone over each tim?? on the first jump and seemed likely U, attack with success the state record which is under his high mark of 6 feet, 2 3-8 inches. The two lads who stayed in witfc him had each gone over 5 foot, 10 on the third try. Matt, however, just couldn't pull the foot up at the 5-11 height. Dame Fortune made up in part when Kashuba on the draw got the first place medal. Looking Ahead Just when Bloomsburg will be in position to extend an invitation is doubtful. Present plans call for the cutting back of the bank at the present athletic field up to the Dillon residence.This will give the college a football field, baseball field and a couple other fields, if they want them, and around one of these a track is to go. The grading is progressing rapidly but just when allocation will be made for funds for the building of a track is most uncertain. Progress in recent years crippled the track plant when the new junior high building required one end of the fifth mile oval that had just been improved by the WPA. Need a Track The college needs a track for more reasons than one. In the first place it needs it for its own team and in the second place an up-to-date plant would allow them to continue the high school invitation meet and be in position to extend an invitation to, the district 4 PIAA meet. In the years when the invitation meet was held it attracted large fields of promising athletes and some of them became interested in Blooms-! burg through that visit and matriculated here. Something Novel The number of trophies offered in State competition for teachers colleges increased four-fold this year. Now they have trophies for first, second, third and fourth. You have to win each three times to retire it That's something new in trophy awards. Generally a string is attached to, only the first place award. However, the system has its merit. fr yjas designed, to injgeest teM??ff. and, also, and this probably was just j as much a factor, such a system will i eliminate the necessity of going out j i every year and raising funds for some j * -??????-???---???'??????'
