WHITE FALCON
Saturday, July 13, 1963
Sporting Around
By Walt Platteborze, SN
Charles E. Tyron, BMC, representing the 3rd Naval District,
ran away with nearly all of the markmanship honors offered at the
All-Navy Shooting Championships held at Naval Air Station Jackson-
ville, Florida. Tryon scored 855 of a possible 900 points in the .45
caliber pistol event. Beside winning the pistol shoot his rifle accuracy
was good enough to earn him the all-events trophy. There could be
more laurels awaiting the champion Chief at Camp Perry, Ohio in
early August where he will compete against civilian and military
marksmen in the annual National Shoot-Off at the northern Ohio
range.
More awards for Navy’s Ron Reihel. The Academy third baseman
was recently named to Penn State’s All-Opponent team. He adds this
honor to a previous selection to the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball
League second unit. The Nittany Lions should be well qualified to
judge player excellence. They were District 2 NCAA champs and
•represented the East at the Omaha, Nebraska College World Series.
Reihel hit a solid .300 for the Midshipmen nine.
Louisville’s irrepressible “Lip,” Cassius Clay, completely subdued
under-the-weather airmen at South Ruislip’s Air Base Hospital with
his usual string of unbroken witticisms, during a recent British Isle
stay. The young man with the big designs was in London for a bout
with British Heavyweight Champ Henry (he must- and did- go in
five) Cooper. He had promised a visit to disabled airmen at the
nearby base and verbosely fulfilled the promise. He also attended
a workout in the local gym where he gave Air Force and European
Service heavyweight titleholder A1C Donald Anderson a few pointers,
oratorical and boxing.
In picking the National and American League All-Star teams
most of the emphasis is placed upon the player’s stickwork. Players
with high batting averages, home runs totals and runs batted in
get first consideration. The following are the major league’s Defensive
All-Star teams based on glovework facts:
NATIONAL LEAGUE
catcher—Joe Torre—Milwaukee (.997 fielding average)
1st base—Tommy Aaron—Milwaukee (1.000 fielding average)
2nd base—Tony Taylor—Philadelphia (.984; 32 double plays)
shortstop—Roy McMillan—Milwaukee (.983; 22 double plays)
3rd base—Darryl Spencer—Cincinnati (.973 fielding average)
outfielders—Tony Gonzalez—Philadelphia (1.000 fielding average)
Frank Thomas—New York (1.000 fielding average)
Charlie James—St. Louis (1.000 fielding average)
AMERICAN LEAGUE
catcher—Gus Triandos—Detroit (.996 fielding average)
1st base—Joe Pepitone—New York (.998 fielding average)
2nd base—Chuck Shilling—Boston (.997; 37 double plays)
shortstop—Luis Aparicio—Baltimore (.987; 34 double plays)
3rd base—Brooks Robinson—Baltimore (.977 fielding average)
outfielders—Vic Davalillo—Cleveland (1.000 fielding average)
Rocky Colavito—Detroit (1.000 fielding average)
Bobby Del Greco—Kansas City (1.000 fielding
average)
Air Force All-Stars
Down Reykjavik IR
Keflavik’s Air Force All-Stars fought off a determined
Reykjavik IR rally early in the second half and went on
to outdistance the home team 63-54, on July 8. Rough
action highlighted the contest played at the capital city
with a total of 26 fouls'®"
gym,
called.
The Flyboys started slowly ex-
hibiting cold shooting from the
floor and loose play that enabled
‘OUST A.
MOMENT,
KMl
IR to come up with a number of
pass thefts. High point man Bill
Bracey gathered four fouls early
in the game and sat out part of
the first half, creating a gap in
the visitors offensive punch.
Air Force jumped to a quick
4-0 lead on consecutive goals by
Bracey and Dick Reid. The Junior
Vikings tied the count at 4-4 be-
fore Frank Knapp’s basket put
the Flyboys ahead to stay. Late
in the first half the lead had been
padded to 33-19, but by halftime
IR had narrowed the score to
36-30.
Chief Robinson
Leaves NavSta
June is the month of farewells,
and this past month, Fire Chief
Robinson and his wife said good-
by to the Naval Station and its
Fire department.
Chief Robinson has been a
smoke-eater for forty-three years,
twenty-two with the fire depart-
ment in Richmond, Virginia, and
twenty-one in federal service. He
came to Keflavik in August of
1959, and was installed as the Sta-
tion’s Fire Chief with the Air
Force. He continued in that capa-
city upon the Navy take-over un-
til his departure when the depart-
ment was taken over by the Ice-
landers.
Robinson was responsible for
the maintaining of the high stand-
ards of fire prevention inspec-
tions and fire fighting methods
here during his administration.
Chief Robinson has done a fine
job, and will long be remembered
for his enthusiasm and tactfulness.
Best wishes to him and his wife
and smooth sailing in his next as-
signment.

A CANTICLE FOR LIEBO-
WITZ—It had been over 600 years
since man launched his machines
of death between the continents
of earth. Brother Francis of the
Liebowitzian Order had nearly
completed his fast on the torrid
Texarkana desert. The comforting
thought that he would soon take
his vows was relaxing. Then he
spotted the open bomb shelter at
the bottom of a crater. Could this
be the shelter of the beatus, Pro-
fessor Liebowitz? Walter M.
Miller makes the aftermath of
nuclear halocaust believable in
this futuristic novel. The story
is set in post World War III
southwest United States. The
country has been broken into three
districts varying only in their
degree of militancy and imperial-
ism. A CANTICLE FOR LIEBO-
WITZ is a not so-far-fetched story
of “times after,” considered an
equal to Pat Frank’s ALAS
BABYLON.
NOTICE
All military and civilian per-
sonnel and their dependants are
cordially invited to attend the
Marine Barracks Change of
Command ceremonies which
will be held at 10 a.m. on July
15. The ceremonies will take
place on the parade ground ad-
jacent to the Marine Barracks.

Junior Braves
Increase Lead
By R. F. Myers, J03
In Little League action last
week, the Braves pulled further
away from the second-place Yan-
kees with one-sided victories while
the Yankees split their two games.
The third-place Dodgers split
their two games while the cellar-
dwelling Tigers dropped two.
In Monday, July 1, action, the
Yankees gave Scott Ellison three
runs in the last inning to nose
out the Dodgers, 7 to 6. Johnny
Long was the victim of this upset.
Tuesday evening saw Kip Paules
coast to another victory as the
Braves trounced the Tigers, 28
to 8. Johnny Zeltner suffered the
loss.
The Tigers, still dazed by the
Braves’ hitting attack, dropped
Wednesday’s game to the Dodgers,
11 to 3. Lindo Nunez was the
winning pitcher and supplied en-
ough runs to win the game single-
handedly with a grand slam
homer.
Dodger hurlers Glen Carter and
Ricky Canepari combined their
talents to defeat the Yankees, 11
to 3 in the Independence Day
contest. Mike Long, the losing
pitcher, gave up a home run to
Bobby Canepari with one man on.

PROGRAM NOTES
Specials to be seen on Channel
8 this week include another in a
series of “Young People’s Con-
certs” with Leonard Bernstein
conducting the New York Phil-
harmonic Orchestra.
Beginning at 8:30 p.m. Thurs-
day, the maestro leads his famed
concert orchestra through an hour
of such favorites as “The Roman
Carousel Overture”, “Concerto for
Four Violins” and “The 1812
Overture.” In the course of the
presentation, Mr. Bernstein ex-
plains the acoustical advantages
of the new Lincoln Center Phil-
harmonic Hall.
Shirley Verret-Carter appears
as guest soloist.
Joey Bishop’s honeymoon is the
subject of this first episode in
his new weekly series, “The Joey
Bishop Show”.
Joey has just taken the big
dive (married Abby Dalton), and
Danny Thomas wants a subsitute
for a Las Vegas night spot en-
gagement. Anything for a friend,
says Joey, but on my wedding
night?
After solving that problem with
a simple yes, the plot thickens as
Joey attempts to break the news
gently to his bride, but everything
turns out beautifully in the end.
Tune in at 9:00 Wednesday
evening and see for yourself.
Both units traded baskets early
in the second half before Gunnar
Thorsteinsson, IR’s 6'8" center,
connected on a three-point play.
This put the Vikings just 3 points
down until baskets by Bracey and
Knapp again widened the margin.
Bracey took game high honors
for the night with 25 markers.
He has totaled 102 points and has
averaged 25.5 points in the cur-
rent series with Reykjavik’s jun-
ior and senior fives. Knapp tal-
lied 11, the only other Flyboy in
double figures.
Thorsteinsson led all Viking
scorers with 20 points. Teammate
Olaf Thorlaciusson complimented
the big center, dumping 15 mark-
ers.
The Air Force hoopsters now
own a 2-0 record against IR, in
addition to copping a pair from
Reykjavik KR.
