States assault that produced six
CISM records. Foreign athletes
broke three others.

own broad jump record estab-
lished in 1962. Hicks shaved l/10th
of a second off the 110 meter

WCO WitieA Club
By Margarita Robinson
We will bid farewell to two
active members this month, Louis
Dorton and Sally Plouffe. Louis
is leaving for sunny California.
For the past six months she
has been our vice president, and
it goes without saying we will
miss her assistance that she gave
so generously.
Our best wishes go with you
Sally as you leave for your new
duty station. Your leaving saddens
our hearts, but comfort reappears
as we know you will be going
home for awhile. It was also com-
forting to know that we could
count on a job well done when
you took charge.
The new officers slated for the
next term are as follows: Presi-
dent—Betty Kenner and Maria
Darcangelo, Vice President —
Lynne Muller and Norma Stude-
barker, Secretary — Rose Mary
Jimeney and Wanda Hall, Tre-
surer — Jane Romano and Mar-
garita Robinson, and Parliamen-
tarian — Sandra Fraizer and
Betty Churchell.
Members are urged to bake for
the play the club is sponsoring
on September 26. Members living
off base are asked to pick up their
cake mixes at Soltun 20, Keflavik.
There will be no charge for the
mixes.
We would like to remind all
members that guests are invited
for the Reykjavik trip on Sep-
tember 20. The bus will leave the
NCO Club at 6:30.
Another reminder, girls, don’t
forget the coffee for Mrs. House
September 12 and the Social on
September 17.

USC, Northwestern Aiming
For National Championship
(Part One Of Four Part Series)
Changes in rules, musical chairs within the coaching
ranks, and the powerful statures of Southern California
and Northwestern are hoarding headlines in the 1963 col-
lege football outlook. But, h<
ball season may appear, the game15
is notorious for its reversals, sur-
prises and upheavels.
It remains to be seen what real
effect the new substitution rule
will have on major college foot-
ball, but consensus holds that it
will increase spectator interest
while sacrificing the three unit
system invented at Louisiana
State by Paul Dietzal, now at
Army.
The controversial rule stipulates
that unlimited substitution may
be made by either team during
all time-outs except on fourth
down or on the down immediately
after the ball changes hands. But
a team may subsitute two “wild
card” players on fourth down or
the down following change of pos-
session.
BIG TURNOVER IN MENTORS
Ninety-four coaching seats have
been vacated and filled at NCAA
affiliated schools since last season
ended. When the music, stopped,
notables grabbing new chairs in-
cluded Hugh Devore at Notre
Dame, John Ralston at Stanford,
Jim McDonald at Tennessee, Ed
Crowder at Colorado, Phil Cutchin
at Oklahoma State, Jack Green at
Vanderbilt and Johnny Pont at
Yale.
SPECULATION ON TOP TEN
Meanwhile, who will rule the
roost in national rankings this
year? Consensus points its finger
at a ripened bunch from North-
western (Big Ten) and at the
defending national champ, South-
ern California (Big Six). Other
powers promising to be in the
thick of battle are Duke, Okla-
homa, Mississippi and Wisconsin.
BIG TEN
Northwestern, it is generally
felt, has the best chance to win
the conference title and visit the
Rose Bowl on January 1, 1964.
Coach Ara Parseghian bases his
optimism around rugged guard
Jack Cverko and junior quarter-
back Tom Myers. As a soph,
Myers’ brilliant passing gave the
Wildcats a fast start last year.
In the wings are two perennial
Big Ten contenders, Wisconsin
and Ohio State. Badger coach Milt
t’, cut-and-dried a foot-
Bruhn, who must fill the shoes of
Ron VanderKeen and Pat Richter,
will have 27 lettermen returning
to bolster hopes. Ohio State’s
Woody Hayes may find the dark-
house role his cup of tea. The
Buckeyes’ famed “five yards and
a cloud of dust” offense will be
led by speedy halfback Paul War-
field.
Minnesota, Michigan State,
Iowa and Purdue, all traditional
spoilers, will make their Big Ten
presence felt. Cellar-dwellers
Michigan, Indiana and Illinois
should show marked improvement.
The Wolverines promise to be the
most improved of the lot with 28
lettermen and quarterback whiz
Bob Timberlake returning.
BIG SIX
The Trojans of USC are bust-
ing to repeat, and the “B” boys
— Bedsole, Brown, Bame and
Beathard — rate “A” attention
every Saturday.
Washington looms as a trouble-
maker, but depth problems cause
much concern in Seattle. Stan-
ford, UCLA and California are
hampered by a combination of
things, among them lack of mate-
rial, coaching changes and South-
ern California. The Trojan’s cros-
stown rival UCLA will be at a
loss to fill the void left by grad-
uated All-American Kermit Alex-
ander. Washington State plays
only two conference games, which
will play havoc with their title
chances.

Yeomen Cop Two;
Knot League Lead
An upstart Admin quintet cop-
ped a pair of victories in last
week’s Naval Station Basketball
League action to move into a two-
way tie for first place with Nav-
SecGru. The Yeomen rushed to a
52-26 win over VP-18 and edged
IDF 57-47 to maintain their un-
blemished record. Meanwhile, Sec-
urity Group coasted to an 85-36
triumph over AFRTS for their
fourth straight win.
Admin threw up a stout de-
fense against VP-18, holding the
Patrollers to a mere 12 points in
the first half. Horvath paced the
winners scoring punch with 14
markers and King chipped in 10.
The Yeomen left the court at
halftime with an eight point bulge
over IDF and matched the Staf-
fers score for score in the final
period to take their second decis-
ion. King, Horvath and Nemmers
counted 18, 13 and 10 points re-
spectively. Smith dumped 17 and
Lance and Brown combined for
20 points for the losing aggrega-
tion.
Powerful Security Group rattled
off 39 points in the first half
and coasted to the win over AF-
RST. Melling scored 31, Hardman
17 and Ingram 11 for the defend-
ing titlists. Watts counted 22 for
the outclassed losers.
AFRTS got back on the winning
track later in the week, taking a
59-36 measure of winless IKF.
Farina and Watts were one-two
in scoring for the victorious Fal-
cons with 29 and 17 tallies re-
spectively. Oskarsson sparked the
Nationals offense with 13 mark-
ers.
AFI dropped CommSta from the
unbeaten list 58-36. The victorious
Flyboys raced to a 15-point half-
time margin and outscored the
CommSta’rs in the final period
for the win. AFI’s Williamson
took game high honors with 25

A soldier who had lost his rifle
was lectured by his captain and
told he would have to pay for it.
“Sir,” said the soldier, “supose
I lost a tank?”
“You would have to pay for
that too,” said the Captain.
“Heck,” muttered the soldier
“Now I know why a captain goes
down with his ship.”
