Skip Hagelund places eighth in all-Navy
NavCommSta's Richard P. (Skip) Hagelund has recently made his spare-
time bowling pay off by qualifying for his third all - Navy tournament
in San Diego, Calif.
After bowling in a mixed league at the Keflavik naval station, he
entered the First Naval District tournament at Quonset Point, R.I.,
where, among 45 bowlers, he placed in the top six. Next, in North At-
lantic regional competition in Newport, R.I., he again made the top
six and was on his way to San Diego for the all-Navy finals.
Returning last week with a 24-game average of 196, Hagelund finished
eighth among 24 bowlers, and his team placed second in San Diego.
