WHITE FALCON
Saturday, November 12, 1960
Transportation Ekes
Win in Five Seconds
Intramural basketball roared back into gear Monday night with Transportation blaz-
ing from behind to sink Supply 34-32. Trailing 12-7 at the half, the boys from the Motor
squadron tied the game up a 32-32 with about 15 seconds to go, then poured the win-
ning tally through with less than1®'"
five seconds on the clock.
Jean tied it with a looping set
shot then Lyons put the clincher
on with a desperation shot from
the sideline.
Jean picked up 14 points for
the winners while Tucker scored
12 for the losers.
In other Monday night games,
a small but determined team of
Icelandic lads pushed a respect-
able Rockville team to its utmost
before running out of steam and
losing 28-33. The IKF quintet,
led by Ingi with 9 points, finally
gave over to experience and train-
ing.
Legion Sees MATS
As Essential Force
MATS NEWS SERVICE, (MNS)— Some 60,000 dele-
gates to the largest American Legion Convention ever held
unanimously approved two resolutions supporting MATS at
Miami Beach, Fla., last month. **
Both acts, after being thorough-
ly analyzed by the Legion’s Sec-
urity Commission, were adopted
by the entire delegation at their
final meeting on Oct. 20.
The Legionnaires endorsed
MATS and called for continuing
modernization of MATS aircraft,
and continued war readiness air-
lift training for the active force
as well as the reserve forces.
The delegates also commended
MATS’ Aeromedical Evacuation
units in their second resolution,
urging that this service be main-
tained at “optimum efficiency”
for its role in saving lives.
AirEvac, as it is commonly cal-
led, recently was curtailed in some
of its activities. The service moves
military patients from overseas
and to hospitals within the United
States.
Prior to passing the resolution,
the Legion honored Lt. Gen. Joe
W. Kelly, Commander, MATS by
inviting him to act as honorary
grand marshal for the legion par-
ade.

The Air Force, for FY 1961, is
programming 3,400 upgrades to
master and 4,800 to tech. For
those shooting for master this
figures out to a l-in-20 shot; for
tech, a l-in-29 chance. However,
the chances are actually better
since these figures do not take
in consideration retirements and
losses through other attrition ac-
ion.
During FY ’61 some 4,600 mast-
er and 1,000 tech sergeants are
expected to retire. Adding to this
retirements in other enlisted
ranks the total comes to an esti-
mated 6,500. All of which increas-
es promotion chances and gives
food for thought for the first
termers thinking of making the
Air Force a career.
led the winners with 9
Kolb
points.
Closing up the gym with the
nightcap AACS moved easily over
57th FIS by 37-31. Although close
all the way—half time score was
16-14 AACS—the communications
quintet seemed to get the message
as the clock ticked off the final
seconds and won going away.
Salyers scored 10 points to lead
the winners and Martin canned 8
for the losers.
It was Navy night as Tuesday
action got underway with VP-11
tripping up USNSGP 62-22. All-
geyer racked up 11 baskets and 2
free throws to lead the winners
with 24 great big points. Lawrence
was high man for the losers with
8 points.
Air Base Squadron looked good
in defeating a determined CAM-
RON team 41-38. McDonald led
the winners with 14 points and
Perrin copped 11 for the losers.
To close out the action Supply
got back on the winning trail by
edging Civil Engineers 43-40 in
a see-saw battle.
Engineers led 17-15 at the half
but couldn’t keep the advantage.
Sudol marked up 17 points for
Supply while Shoemake was high
man for Engineers with 15 points.

TRAFFIC SERVICE VISITORS—A firm handshake last Saturday took the place of the more usual
telephone connection between Americans and Icelanders involved in North Atlantic Air Traffic Control.
Captain Vernon Johnson, H-l Operations Officer, is shown in “contact” with Mr. Arnor Kr. D. Hjalmars-
son (left), Chief Air Traffic Controller, and Mr. Bjorn Jonsson, Chief of the Icelandic Air Traffic Service.
The occasion was the visit to Rockville of fifteen OAC men. Because the OAC maintains control of the
airspace in the North Atlantic from their control center in Reykjavik, they furnish the Rockville in-
stallation with invaluable information necessary to the station’s aircraft warning function.
OFFENSIVE COURT ACTION—H. Fearsl, the IRs top scorer, didn’t
make this shot. Gene Mahoney blocked the shot. Williams of the
Keflavik International Airport was ready to make a try for the rebound,
but IR’s No. 1, Ingi was there too. He is always there to dominate
the backboard and make a quick follow-up. In this play, Mahoney
deflected the ball away from him.
