NavSecGru, CommSta
Keep League Lead
Naval Security Group and
CommSta kept their hardcourt
records unblemished and main-
tained a first place tie in last
week’s Naval Station Basketball
action. The Group won their third
consecutive of the year on a 64-35
rout of he Marines. Meanwhile,
CommSta met and turned back
winless IKF 39-24 for their third
straight victory.
The defending champion Group
five ran to a 37-15 halftime mar-
gin and padded the margin by
another seven points in the second
half in their victory over the
Marines. Duard Hardman contin-
ued his league leading scoring
pace with 29 tallies for the win-
ners. Tom Melling provided the
back-up punch with 26 markers.
Rechtorovic led all Marine scorers
with 12 points and Annett chipped
in 10.
CommSta received a solid team
effort in their triumph over IKF.
None cf the winners scored in
double figures, three players hit-
ting for eight each.
Admin and AFRTS met in a
battle of unbeatens with the Yeo-
men pulling off a hard-earned
48-43 victory. The winners left
the court at halftime with a 27-19
lead but had to fight off a deter-
mined AFRTS squad in the final
period for the win. Worsham took
game high scoring honors with 22
markers. Bud Watts paced the
losers’ scoring punch with 20 tal-
lies.
57th FIS bounced back from an
initial loss to the Marines to
trounce AMD 56-38. Bill Bracey
again led all Bandit bombers with
23 markers. Avery and Knapp
complimented the big forward
with 15 and 10 points respectively.
Russo led the Airdale guns with
11 tallies.
AFI jumped over the .500 mark
on a 64-39 lambasting of Rock-
ville. The Rocks, a new league
entry, kept pace with the win-
ners through the first half but
withered under the Flyboys’ scor-
ing attack in the final period.
Horstdaniel (13), Reid (12), Wil-
liamson (11) and Ward (10) paced
the winners offense. Rockville’s
Rhodes, however, took game scor-
ing honoors with 21 point.
In a later contest the Flyboys*
demoralized last place Public
Works in a torrid second half and
walked off with a 62-26 triumph.
Reid led the victors with 17 tal-
lies. Horstdaniel and Ward com-
bined their efforts for 24 points
to compliment Reid.
Rockville bounced back from
their opening loss to take an ini-
tial 39-29 win from winless Sup-
ply. Rhodes’ 11 and McElwain’s
10 markers stood out for the vic-
torious Rocks and McPeek counts
ed 11 for last place Supply.
IDF hit the winning trail with
a hard fought 54-48 triumph over
IKF. Lance scored 10 and Smith
tallied 15 to back up Hammond’s
game high 18 points for the Staf-
fers. Mansisson and Fiddisson
counted 15 and 12 points respecti-
vely to lead the losing Nationals.
Coffee in Exchanges

lets are among the few places left

be bought, according to James

Air Force Victors In All-Star Game

Sixth Inning Surge
Tops Navy Nine
The Aii' Force All-Stars roared from behind on
eight run, nine hit ban-age in the fifth and sixth in-
nings to down the Navy 9-5 in the annual Labor Day All-
Star game. The Flyboy’s win evened the Air Force-Navy
series at one win apiece, the initial victory going to the
Bluejackets in the Fourth of July^
contest.

from the age-old adage, “never
change pitchers in mid-game.”
Starting hurler Bill Kinder was
breezing along with a one-hit 5-1
lead through the fourth inning

Sporting Around
By Walt Platteborze, SN
Are there actually more major service teams than the acknow-
ledged three—the Cadets, Falcons and Midshipmen? There are a few
soft-spoken followers in the multitudinous Monday morning huddles
that are inclined to agree that it should be the Armed Forces Big
Four in lieu of Big Three.
What super eleven could it be that provokes such guarded liber-
alism? One need look no further than Quantico, Virginia for the
answer. The Marines are talent laden and intent on mayhem this
fall. Last year the Leathernecks were enroute to their third service
title in four seasons with a 5-2 record when play was terminated
due to the Cuban Crisis. The only losses were inflicted by scrappy
Miami of Ohio and undefeated Fort Benning.
1963 appears to be a different story altogether, barring another
period of international unrest. The Marines roster is loaded with
former college standouts led by Dartmouth’s All-East quarterback
Tom Singleton. Among other stars are fullback Dave Hayes of Penn
State, an eighth draft choice of Baltimore and halfback Tom O’Rourke
of Villanova and the Denver Broncos. All-Marine end George Zad-
jeicka is back again. Two promising newcomers are Upsala’s Little
All-American guard Ron Eckert and All-Conference flanker Ted
Uritis of John Carroll.
The Leathernecks entertain three college elevens in their exhaus-
tive 12-game schedule. They open against Xaiver and battle Holy
Cross and Villanova later on the card.

One of the best, if not the best, quarterback in the nation this
year is Dick Bregham of unheralded Tico College in Arizona. The
sophomore flash compiled one of the most impressive seasons ever
in five games for the 1962 Catamounts. The totals speak for them-
selves. He completed 87 of 108 aerial attempts for a 982-yard total.
He threw 14 touchdown tosses and scored six himself, gaining 327
yards afoot. He also exhibited exceptional toe ability, kicking 16
extra points in 18 attempts plus five field goals.
Bregham’s best performance last year was during the 55-0 rout
of Pampas Junior College. In the contest he passed for five touch-
downs, personally scored two, and kicked two field goals and seven
consecutive points after touchdown. In sixty minutes of play he
scored or passed for almost one point per minute.
With The Greatest Of Ease
__^Medical’s ace pitcher J. B. Dunn.
Air Force bats came to life
against Dunn in the top of the
fifth inning. Leadoff batter Don
Gittings slammed a clean two-
bagger to centerfield to start the
rally. Bill Braeback followed with
a hard single between second and
third scoring Gittings. Bob Jenson
followed with a right field triple
driving in the second run of the
inning. Bill Bennett booted home
the final tally on a fielders choice.
The Bluejackets threatened in
their half of the fifth frame.
Jesse Spence reached first on an
error by Flyboy ishortstop Paul
Dayhoff. Bob Cory followed
Spence to the plate. After fouling
off two pitches he lifted one over
the left field fence a few feet
outside the foul line. Pitcher Tom
Gerkins worked the slugger to a
2-2 count before retiring him on
a swinging third strike. Gerkins
yielded a walk to Jake Jacobs be-
fore retiring Bob Hall on an in-
field out to kill the surge.
The Flyboys jumped on Dunn
for five runs in the sixth inning
to complete the scoring. The Medi-
cal hurler retired leadoff batter
Dayhoff on a strikeout. Gerkins
followed with a double. Braeback,
next up, hit a hard shot at third
sacker Jack Bisceglio. The chunky
All-Star made a tremendous stop
and threw a strike to first base.
Spence bobbled the throw and the
tying and go-ahead runs were on
base.
Jenson followed with a sharp
single to center field driving in
Gerkins and Braeback. Bennett
and John Williamson followed
with back to back singles scoring
later on two wild pitches.
Gerkins put down the Bluejack-
ets in the final two innings, yield-
ing only one hit to pick up the
win. Dunn suffered the loss for
Navy. He gave up eight runs and
nine hits in three innings, striking
out two.
Gittings started on the mound
for the Flyboys. He gave up five
runs on three hits and whiffed
one in his four-inning stint. Kinder
pitched superbly during his ap-
pearance. In four innings of work
the Admin righthander gave up
one tally on a lone single and
struck out six Flyboys.
Montie Rankin, PH3, pilots his MG‘B’ through the tire slalom at the
Saturday, Aug. 31, meeting of the Iveflavik Sports Car Club at Patter-
son Ramp.
Jacobs drove in two tallies with
a third inning double.
