AACS & FMS Clash Delayed
Qnce again old man weather threw the best pitches and
forced the much awaited battle between the giants of the
intramural league, AACS and the Field Maintenance, into
a postponement.
<s>----------------------
Field Maintenance is riding a
four game winning streak and
is gnawing at the bit, to sink
their rival league leaders, AACS,
as he two teams meet in what
should prove to be a great game.
Of course VP 21 and HEDRON-
SEC, AFI, are still in the thick
of the battle as the Navy men
have a 3 and 0 record, while the
blue collar boys of AFI, have a
2 and 0 count. None of the front
runners have played each other
and this weeks play should see
some of the unbeaten nine fall
by the diamondside.
In one of the best battles of the
season, Rockville edged out Trans-
portation in a ten inning thriller,
by a 10 to 9 score.
Rangy Lt. Slugger Martens,
Athletic Officer for the radarmen,
beamed in on one of Fireball
Bowers high, hard ones and lost
it in the outfield for a big home-
run. His second long fly of the
afternoon was caught in the rock-
pile way out by D-5. Big Stick
DiGiacomo of Transron, also
whacked a tremendous homerun
off the slants of Whip Surett,
who pitched a great game for the
winners. The game was finally
decided in the last of the tenth
when singles by Surett, Mandoza,
and BiAndello and a sacrifice fly
by Morris, edged the lead run
across the plate for the scanners
of Rockville. The standings as of
6 June 60 are:
FMS 4-0
VP 21 3-0
AACS 2-0
HEDRONSEC AFI 2-0
IDF 2-1
Rockville 2-1
Installations 1-2
Supply 1-2
FASRON 1-3
Weather 0-3
ABRON 0-3
TRANSRON 0-3

New Softball
Uniforms here
Fifteen softball players of the
base team, will arrive at McGuire
AFB sometime the latter part of
August, and they will look the
part as they sport their new soft-
ball uniforms.
The uniforms are made of
Chino Army Cloth and have a
royal blue base color with Red
and white trim, with Iceland in
script lettering emblazened
across the front. For an excep-
tionally warm day, a slipover
jersey has been added to their
wardrobe, so that the heavier
shirt can be dry cleaned.
The uniforms were ordered well
in advance of the season as alte-
rations will be made when final
selection of the fifteen outstand-
ing intramural players head for
the lan,d of the big B.X. Coaches,
Officials and Umpires will start
determining who will tryout for
the team. The team will then work-
out under a coach not yet selected,
who will name the 15 men to the
travelling squad to McGuire.
All men participating in Intra
Murals will be observed as the
season progresses and will be
given a chance to prove their wa-
res, if their talent shows promise.
Major John P. Shaughnessy, Base
Athletic Officer, stated that he
thought the Air Force Iceland
team would go all the way and cop
the MATS championship this year,
and head for World-Wide com-
petition.
Offutt AFB, Neb. (AFPS) —
Readers of Offutt’s daily bulletin
did a double-take when they en-

fish, full grown . . .. ”
It was no gag. 1st Lt. Vincent

Farrell Breaks
Old Swim Mark
New Haven, Conn. (AFPS) —
Jeff Farrell, a Navy ROTC in-
structor at Yale University, swam
the fastest 100-yard free style
ever posted over any course at the
Amateur Athletic Union’s nation-
al indoor swimming champion-
ships held here.
The 23-year-old athlete from
Wichita, Kans., thrashed four
lengths of Yale’s 25-yard exhibi-
tion pool in 48.2 seconds and won
his second title and set his second
American record of the meet.
It bettered the listed American
mark of 0:48.9 set by Robin Moore
of Stanford in 1956 and the meet
record of 0:49.1 held by Rex Au-
brey of the New Haven Swim
Club in 1956.
The lean six-foot 160-pound
Farrell, whose non-swimming
father first taught him the rudi-
ments out of a book, previously
swam the fastest 200-yards, 1:49,
and the fastest 220, 2:00.2. This
was Farrell’s first national indoor
title in the 100.
predatory pet ran true to the
breed. “He doesn’t like people . .
if anyone goes near him he dashes
around and leaps out of the tank.
He’s busted the light bulb over
his tank several times, that way.”
The lieutenant’s urge to unload
his piranha was prompted in part
by its appetite for raw meat.
“Especially liver. He likes that
best.”
His Piranha’s Up for Sale, But No Takers
H-2 Site Opens
Golf Course
Langanes Air Force Station
has recently added a nine hole,
par 35, golf course to its inventory
of relational facilities. The course
is situated near the squadron
fishing stream, eight miles from
the site. It is bordered by the oce-
an and beach on one side, and by
out of bounds on the other, the
stream interferes with two holes,
to add to a careless golfers misery.
Being near the beach, the fair-
ways and greens are partially
sand-based, and quite smooth.
The golf course was construct-
ed by Lt. Warrington B. McCul-
lough, III the 1959 Air Defense
Command (Pebble Beach) golf
champion, with the help of many
interested parties. The links has
started several previous non-
golfers playing and provides
many hours of recreation, as
well as exasperation.
While the course is not parti-
cularly long, site men consider it
exacting. One below average shot
might find the unfortunate waist-
high in a bunker. All the greens
but one are surrounded by bunkers
and traps by more than half, two
being completely surrounded. The
wind always plays its part in
blowing one’s shot just where
they’re wanted least. The all-too-
plentiful supply of beach, bunkers
and traps has caused the golf
course to be named with little
affection, and quite appropria-
tely “Bunker Beach.”
The nine hole record is thirty-
three, the eighteen hole record
being sixty-eight. However, the
same individual who set the re-
cords can vouch for the course’s
treachery as he returned the
next day and shot a 45, missing
“only a few shots.” The rest of
his statement cannot be quoted
here, but another name was
added to the list for course
“names.”
A cordial invitation is extended
to all TDY Personnel to bring
their clubs or use ours, and sample
our fair, and we feel, a rather
agonizing test of golf. •
