Place: The Naval Station Field House. Time: 7 p.m.
Thursday Feb. 25 1965. Opponents: Admin/Security vs
AFI. At stake: Overall base championship of the intra-
mural basketball league. Results: AFI 67, Admin/Secu-
rity 62 .
With a loud roar, the team from^
Air Forces Iceland broke from
the huddle and walked to the
middle of the floor anxiously
awaiting to take on the always
rough and tough Admin/Security
squad for the championship of the
intramural league. The only thing
on their minds (by that, I mean
Robinson, Martinez, Lauriano,
Crockett and Barry of AFI) was
to salt away a victory. It had
been a long hard season but a
victory here would ease the aches
and pains.
Biggest Bulge
Right from the opening tip to
the final gun, both teams gave it
their all. It was nip and tuck all
through the first quarter with the
biggest bulge at five points, in
Admin/Security’s favor. Cutshaw
was playing strong on both the
offensive and defensive boards.
Dorner was shooting like the old
Dorner we used to know. As for
AFI, Robinson and Crockett were
carrying the load as far as re-
bounding was concerned. Small
fry, Ray Lauriano, was having
trouble finding the range.
The second quarter was much
the same story, speed and deter-
mination, except that AFI began
to come alive to take the upper
hand. Lauriano started sizzling
the cords with that long thirty-
foot set shot and Robinson began
hitting on short jumpers from in-
side. For Admin/Security, Mike
Cutshaw was rolling along, reeling
off point after point. The first
half ended with the score knotted
at 32 to 32.
Final Two Minutes
When the whistle blew to start
the final twenty minutes, the
crowds in the stands began
“whooping-it-up.” It was an all
AFI backing. They really wanted
this one. The game continued on
an even basis all through the
final stanza with the lead chang-
ing hands five, six, seven times
in succession. It wasn’t until the
final two minutes that the AFI
fans started to see daylight. It
was here that the boys from the
Air Force put it on ice. Lauriano
hit on another long bomb and
then countered with two free
throws to give AFI a five point
spread they never relinquished.
By this time the seats in the
field house were rocking. When
the final buzzer buzzed and the
score AFI 67, Admin/Security 62,
you could almost hear the sigh
of relief from those partisan
rooters. Both teams were happy
this one was all over.
Trophy Presentation
Upon completion of the game,
Cdr Robert O. Boe, executive offi-
cer of the Naval Station, pre-
sented trophies to both teams.
Congratulations to both teams and
especially to AFI on a fine season
and for a thrilling ending to it all.
I’d also like to send a special
“hats-off” to Ray Lauriano,
(probably the game’s most valu-
able player) and Tom Robinson
of AFI and Mike Cutshaw of
Admin/Security who scored 22,
17, and 32 points respectively.
‘Main Event’;
Girls Vs Boys
An excited crowd enjoyed a
fun-filled hour of ball court buf-
foonery at the Field House Fri-
day night.
The main event was the annual
bout between Alfred T. Mahan
Vikings and the high school girls.
Proceeds from the game were for
the varsity’s basketball jackets.
The Vikings gave the girls a
slight edge by wearing boxing
gloves during the game but won
just the same 28 to 17.
The girls, who only practiced
three times as a team before the
game, fought a hard battle. And
for the Viking ballplayers it was
no easy victory.
Wilma Cathey, the game’s high
scorer, led the girls* attack by
netting 12 big points. She was
all over the court, tallying four
field goals and four-for-eight at
the foul line.
The boys’ shooting ability
proved to be the margin of victory
as John Sparks paced the Vikings
with ten points.
Both teams were coached by
Tom Robinson, a basketball player
in his own right.

The favorite sports of the pres-
idents have reflected the popula-
rity of various games, athletic
activities and recreations in the
stages of the republic.
Horse-racing, cock-fighting,
hunting, riding-to-hounds, driving,
fishing, billiards, “rounders”
(forerunner of baseball), football,
skating, table tennis and jujitsu
are only a few of the sports
favored by presidents.
John Quincy Adams was in the
habit of walking five miles or more
before breakfast, much farther
than president Truman walked
daily during his term in Wash-
ington.
When a messenger arrived at
Williamsburg, Va., to tell Vice
President Tyler that President
Harrison had died, Mr. Tyler was
playing marbles. President Lin-
coln also enjoyed playing marbles
as relaxation.
