Top Eight Teams to Seek Crown
In Double Elimination Tourney
The chips will be down for basketballers Jan. 30 when^
the top eight teams play in the double elimination tourney
for the base championship at 6 p.m. in the Field House.
Air Forces Iceland, the league®^
champions, will pit a flawless rec-
ord in 24 outings; but tourneys
of this kind are full of surprises.
The 1971st AACS, league runner-
up, goes into the tournament with
a 21-3 skein. The top contenders
are not forgetting the upsets
scored during the season. AFI
lost Bill Rusnak, one of their
high scorers, but Trapp has been
filling the gap, along with others
on the champions’ roster.
Figure that the coaches will be
feeding those thumpers that can
sink’em in. Then the picture
changes somewhat and puts teams
on a plane. In this week’s tabula-
tions, Salyers of AACS has dump-
ed in 65 points; Martin of the
57th Fighter Squadron, and Wil-
son of Transportation have scored
27 each; not to forget McDonald
of Air Base Squadron who has
netted 31 points.
In the double figure scoring,
the roster includes Damon of
Naval Security Group, but his
team won’t pull up to the first-
eight-eligible bracket; Frey of
AFI; Tinglehoff, also of NSGp;
Moore of CAMRON; Morris of
Civil Engineers, but they are out
of the participants bracket; Olson
of the Hospital, and Johns of
Supply, Lyons of Transportation,
Trapp of AFI, plus many others.
So the nets should be swinging
in that tourney.
Last Tuesday, the 57th FIS
beat Transportation 47-32; CAM-
RON over Civil Engineers 45-16;
AFI defeated NSGp 53-23: Wed-
nesday — AACS-ABRON 67-40;
CAMRON-IKF 37-21; 57th-CE
67-28; Hospital-Transportation
46-38; AFI-Rockville 46-38; AA-
CS-NSGp 53-33; Hospital-Supply
30-20; AFI-Transportation 52-45;
and A AC S-Rockville 50-40; NAF
received a forfeit from CE.
Standings as of Jan. 16.
Hq. AFI .......... 24 0
AACS ............. 21 3
BX to Use Slips
To Fill Needs
Want a special brand of tooth-
paste? Does Channel No. 5 leave
you cold? The Base Exchange is
now looking for customers who
are willing to say what they want.
Capt. Ralph C. Donnelly, Ex-
change Officer, has started a
drive to try to get what people
want. He explained that the Ex-
change buyers did not have suf-
ficient information at the pre-
sent time to indicate, for ex-
ample, whether people preferred
one type of shaving cream to
another. The only way that they
can know is for people to indi-
cate their preferences by the use
of the “Want” slips that are now
available in the BX.
The “Want” slips are then
routed to the buyers who place
orders by known brands or types
of merchandise rather than an
educated guess. Capt. Donnelly
said that it normally takes about
90 days for orders to be processed
and goods received so the sooner
the “wants” are made known the
quicker the merchandise would
appear on the shelves.
So, if you don’t see it — ask
for it!

AF Makes Commanders Call
Mandatory for All Officers
Showing the Air Force News Review and the monthly
feature film is now a mandatory requirement for all Com-
mander’s Call programs a TWX from Air Force Head-
quarters announced this week.
Other policy changes outlined
<V-
in the message included required
attendance of all officers monthly
at Commander’s Call programs
and a statement that commanders
would be expected to conduct
Commander’s Call in person.
Prior to the receipt of this
message, the monthly feature
film was an optional item on the
CC agenda. This added impetus
from the Air Force Chief of
Staff apparently stemmed from a
recent AF wide survey that indi-
cate that both officers and air-
men of all grades were poorly
informed as to where the Air
Force stands and what it stands
for.
The Air Force has placed heavy
emphasis on the Commander’s
Call program feeling that its
members must have sufficient
knowledge about their service to
be able to effectively represent
its policies, doctrine and view-
points in either a U.S.A. or for-
eign community.
MATS Commander, General
Kelly, has, on numerous occasions,
voiced his support of the vital
objectives of this program.
Calling Volleyball Coaches
A Volleyball coaches meeting
will be held at 1 p.m., Jan. 30 in
the Field House. All coaches or
team representatives should be
present for this important meet-
ing which will mark the beginning
of intramural play.

Restaurant Owner Establishes
Plan to Honor Best Airmen
Brynjolfur Brynjolfsson this
week set a first for Iceland, at
the same time adding another en-
ticing incentive to the Airman
and Sailor of the Month Program
at Keflavik International Airport.
Brynjolfsson treated the Decemb-
er Seaman and Airman of the
Month and their competitors to
a banquet at his restaurant, the
Holl in Reykjavik.
A seaman for many years,
Brynjolfsson will entertain win-
ners at the squadron and base
level in the future. Gisli Gud-
mundsson of the U.S. Information
Service will act as coordinator of
the program.
It will include the dinner, a
tour of the National Museum, a
free-time shopping period and a
sightseeing tour on the town.
A2C Thomas D. Thorne of the
Civil Engineer Squadron and SN
Darriel A. Mammen of the Naval
Air Facility led the group of 15
which Brynjolfsson honored .
Thorne was selected Keflavik
Airport Airman of the Month.
A native of Oklahoma City,
Thorne graduated from Putnam
City High. His favorite pastime
is raising beagle hounds and live-
stock. The son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Thorne, he was last sta-
tioned at Vandenburg AFB, Calif.
Seaman Mammen, a cook, top-
ped his shipmates in the NAF
competition for December. He was
born in Springfield, Ill., and is a
newcomer in the Navy ranks
after having completed training
at the U.S. Navy Training Center
in Bainbridge, Md.
A son of Mrs. Lena Mammen,
Taylorville ,and Carl Mammen of
Joliet, Ill., Mammen graduated
from Taylorville High in Taylor-
ville. At Taylorvile High Mam-
men played basketball and base-
ball for three years.
He is married to the former
Miss Shelba Smith who is residing
at 906 College, Greenfield, Ill.
The best seaman and airman
of Keflavik and their companions
were enthusiastic about Brynjolf-
sson’s ‘generous’ gesture and ex-
pressed enjoyment of the fine
food and cordial treatment ex-
tended.
They wholeheartedly indorsed
the program as a means of know-
ing Iceland and its people.

(Continued from Page 1.)
Susan Kramer serves up its vocals.
For Maryetta, who has played
top theaters and night clubs
coast-to-coast, this is the eighth
overseas tour for USO Shows.
“Rhythm Revels,” like all live
entertainment provided for the
armed forces under the auspices
of USO, is made possible by con-
tributions to United Funds, Com-
munity Chest and other voluntary
fund-raising campaigns.
Stop Fully
Wherever a stop sign has been
posted, drivers must uncondition-
ally come to a full stop. When
taking off from this point, driv-
ers will exercise extreme caution
and yield the right of way to
traffic from both sides, irrespec-
tive of the fact as to whether or
not this happens to be a main
road.
