steinsson (2) and the Vikings’ Henry Thornhill (far right). Getting
good views of the tussle are Vikings Tom Starbird and John Din-
widdie, and Valldor Boasson (8) of Keflavik. The Vikings smothered
the Icelandic unit 61-30.

57th FIS’ number 14 has meant nothing but trouble to the Black
Knights’ opponents during the last 10 months. The number belongs
to Big Bill Bracey, a forward without peer, and perhaps the best
Air Force athlete at Keflavik. Bracey has earned high praise from
local sports buffs for his sustained excellence and aggressive style
of play. Since arriving at Keflavik in March 1963 he has concen-
trated on the hardcourt game, playing on every basewide unit, as
well as for the Knights.
Bracey comes from Saline, Michigan where he left his mark
in local sports annals. While playing for Saline High School, in
the Wolverine State’s Huron Valley League, he won 10 letters, in
football, basketball and baseball. After playing on the grid team’s
interior line in his Sophomore year, he switched to fullback, his
all-league position for two seasons. On the hardcourt Bracey won
three letters and twice filled an all-conference berth. In 1959-60
he won honorable mentions to both Class B All-State football and
basketball lists. To complete his stack of conquests he lettered four
times at shortstop for the baseball nine.
After entering the Air Force in 1960, Big (6’2” - 195) Bill joined Since their poor start in Nov.

“We Gotta’ Have Hart”
Capt. William S. Busik, Director of Athletics at the Naval Aca-
demy announced recently the appointment of a new coach to Wayne
Hardin’s grid staff. Assuming the defensive backfield post is Dave
Hart, an assistant mentor at Kentucky for the past two seasons.
Hart will replace Richard Forzano who moves upstairs as head
coach at Connecticut. The new assistant received his coaching bap-
tism at Hurst High School, Latrobe, Pa. in the early Fifties. Until
1961 he tutored at Johnstown, Pa. High School.
Alfred T. Mahan’s improving Vikings staged their most
impressive offensive show of the season, Jan. 11, in com-
pletely outclassing Keflavik High School 61-30.
Rallying around Stan Ellison’s 36-point output, the local
preps raced to a 17-5 first quarter edge and were never
threatened thereafter.
Coach Bob William’s boys**-
found the going easy against
taller but ragged Keflavik quintet.
Viking shooters capitalized on the
abundance of foul shots by con-
verting 17 of them.
Keflavik netted the first score
with one minute elapsed when
GuSni Kjartansson hit on a layup
attempt. The Vikings countered on
John Dinwiddie’s three-pointer
with 3:40 gone.
From then on it was all Mahan.
Ellison, Tom Starbird and John
Sparks pushed in seven buckets,
while the Icelanders managed only
three points.
In the second period, Viking
guns cooled a little but the losers
were unable to capitalize. Little
Bob Canepari and Ellison ac-
counted for most of the scoring
with three and four points apiece.
In the early stages of the third
quarter, the Vikes shelled the
losers out of the game with 15
markers in a five-minute period.
With 5:30 gone, and Mahan
owning a 30-point lead, Williams
took Ellison out. The tall center
had tossed in 24 points.
This gave Keflavik a rebound-
ing edge and the Icelanders tal-
lied seven straight points before
Ellison was hurried back in.
Ellison was in excellent form.
In amassing his biggest point to-
tal of the season he hit consis-
tantly from all over the forecourt.
Frequently fouled by the tight
Keflavik defense he converted 14
free throws.
Canepari looked impressive in
scoring 12 points, plus pacing the
ball-hawking defense.
Kjartansson and Helgi Holm
played well for the losers, Kjart-
ansson counting 12 and Holm 10,

“Son,” said his father sadly,
“after four years of college, you’re
nothing but a loafer and a nui-
sance. I can’t think of one good
thing it has done for you.”
The son was silent for a mo-
ment. Then he said timidly, “Well,
it cured Ma of bragging about
me.”

The Wine is Bitter by Milton S.
Eisenhower.
As President Eisenhower’s per-
sonal representative in Latin
America from 1958 to 1961 the
author speaks candidly from a
wide experience of that area’s
people of current economic and
political events and U. S. rela-
tionships with Latin America.
There is no doubt, he emphasizes,
that a revolution will occur and,
in his opinion, it will be a peace-
ful one in which democracy will
triumph.
The Cat and Mouse by Gunter
Grass.
As in this German author’s
first novel ‘The Tin Drum’ the set-
ting is prewar and wartime Dan-
zig and the protagonist is marked
by a physical deformity, in this
case an overgrown Adam’s apple.
Joachim Mahlke is seen through
his friend’s eyes as an individua-
listic figure: an idolizer of the
Virgin Mary, a quiet rebel against
school and later military autho-
rity, and a soldier hero who ulti-
mately commits suicide. Religious
symbolism and very earthy humor
are both present in this secular-
spiritual portrait of a man whose
“countenance was . . that of a
redeemer” and whose personality
and presence intensify as the story
progresses. Though narrower in
scope and more involuted than its
predecessor this is a haunting
novel etched with sensitivity.
