Decisive Games Played Wednesday
Reykjavik Invites
AF Players to Opener
Wednesday night decisive basketball games were played.
Too late to report in this issue, but at stake was first place
which the 57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron and Air
Forces Iceland were seeking. The^
two teams, sporting nine wins and
no losses, tangled.
The loser of that game was in
double jeopardy. The 1971st Air
and Airways Communication Ser-
vice Sq. (AACS) was cement-
ed in second place with an 8-1
record. They met the Consolidated
Maintenance (CAMRON) team;
a win for AACS threw the loser
of the 57th and AFI game into
a tie for second with a 9-1 record.
And just who would stay in
the cellar also was decided Wed-
nesday night. Naval Security
Group (NSGp) and the IKF, both
with no wins and nine defeats
met in the third game of the
evening.
Wednesday night’s games were
really an anti-climax in the Intra-
mural Basketball league play. All
the games that night were orgin-
ally scheduled for Thursday; how-
ever, they were moved so that
Keflavik Airport could send two
all-star teams to play in the open-
ing of the Icelandic Basketball
association season in Reykjavik.
The Keflavik All-Stars have
been playing pre-season games
with the Icelandic teams. So far
(as of Wednesday morning) they
had a 6-0 skein. The latest en-
counter with the Icelandics was
Saturday, Oct. 22.
The IR team came to Keflavik.
The All-Stars won 85-78. Ervinar
Staff of the IRs bucketed 23
points for the losers, who have
consistently given the All-Stars
a run for their money. For Kef-
lavik Airport, three players hit
for double figures: Gene Ma-
honey, 17; Bill Rusnick, 15; and
Williams, 11. Wesley Frey scored
9, and Dick Panchison made 8.
Wednesday, a week ago, Gene
Mahoney led AFI in a 54-29 vic-
tory over the VP-11 team. He
sank 13 points. AACS won a 41-
28 game from the IKF who was
led by Oli with 13 points. Clifford
was AACS’ best scorer with 10.
NAF beat Civil Engineers (CE)
48-24. Steve Maman netted 16
points for the victors and Shu-
make had 13 for the losers.
On Oct. 24, AFI beat CAM-
RON 43-35. Bill Taylor and Ma-
honey had 10 each for high score;
Donald Moore made 11 for CAM-
RON. Bob Reaggle led Air Base
Squadron (ABRON) to a 46-34
win over IKF in a 46-34 game.
He swished in 13 points. Fridrik
made 11 for IKF.
Carl Salyers’ 12 points were
high for AACS in its 50-36 vic-
tory over VP-11. Steve Like made
one-third of the loser’s points.
Tuesday of this week Trans-
portation Squadron beat the CE
team 40-29. Edward Lyons was
top scorer for Transportation with
13 and ‘Goose’ Michler sank IQ
for the CE team. In the second
game, Steve Maman added 21 to
the NAF 45-32 victory over the
Hospital. Robert Olsen contributed
12 to the Medics’ cause.
In the last game of the night,
the lead changed hands many tim-
es until a last-minute goal cinched
victory for Rockville over Supply
47-46. Rockville’s Bryan Erickson
had 13 and Billy Tucker had 11
for Supply.

NCOIC of the Graphics section of Comptroller. “Gil” and Bottomsup
have made the rounds in the Pacific edition of the Stars & Stripes,
plus many service newspapers.

activities will develop into is hard
to say,” said the Secretary, “but
the location is important to
NATO.”
When asked if he thought Ice-
land, in the future, would be de-
fended by rockets, Mr. Douglas
said, “I suppose if new require-
ments in the defense of Iceland
come up, we’ll be discussing that
with our partner, the Icelandic
government, just what those
things are, if any.”
After the press conference he
returned to an Iceland Defense
Force briefing which had been in-
terimly stopped for the news con-
ference.
Secretary Douglas and his wife
had dinner with the U.S. Ambas-

just being completed.
The change says “eligible per-
sonnel will be assigned to one of
their areas of preference if over-
sea assignments are available.
Consecutive tour preferences will
be given first priority in the indi-
vidual’s assignment considera-
tions.”
Career airmen must have suf-
ficient service retainability to
complete a normal tour in the
new area, and may reenlist prior
to the Expiration of Term of
Enlistment (ETS) or extend their
enlistments to acquire the need-
ed retainability.
First term airmen who have
not been considered for selective
reenlistment must have enough
service retainability to complete
at least 18 months at the new
station.
A first term airman who has
extended his enlistment as a re-
sult of selection for reenlistment
may be reassigned without regard
to service retainability.
An airman who has refused to
reenlist on the normal ETS and
who is serving on the extended
portion of his enlistment may
not be reassigned on a consecu-
tive tour.
A first term airman who has
been considered for reenlistment
and not selected for reenlistment,
or an airman who has been select-
ed for reenlistment, but refuses
to reenlist prior to ETS or to ex-
tend his enlistment may not be
reassigned on a consecutive tour.
If selected for a consecutive
tour, a career airman, or a first
term airman who has not been
considered for selective reenlist-
ment, declines to acquire the need-
ed service retainability will be
released and will be required to
sign a statement denying him re-
enlistment in the Air Force for
91 days and having to meet all
requirements prescribed for any
new enlistee.
Airmen ruled out for consecu-
tive tour are those serving over-
seas accompanied by dependents,
or those serving in a long tour
area who elected not to have de-
pendents join. Those who have
an application pending for a
specialized assignment are not
eligible.
Others not eligible are persons
who have completed or will com-
plete a consecutive foreign service
tour without an intervening peri-
od of 12 months service in the
Continental U.S. Reserve of the
Air Force who have insufficient
service retainability to complete
an oversea tour in the new area
may not apply.
Consecutive tours may be re-
quested at forecast time. From
now on, airmen will have to indi-
cate that they do not desire conse-
cutive, tours. Upon receipt of the
application, USAF matches the re-
quest with available assignments
—the application is honored or an
assignment to the Continental U.
S. will be made if there is no re-
quirement to match the individu-
al’s AFSC and qualifications.
Airmen serving at short areas,
such as here, without their de-
pendents are authorized to ask for
a consecutive tour.
