WHITE FALCON
5
Stars Hold
Over Iceland
The IDF all-stars lead the Reykjavik all-stars, two games
to one, in the best of five basketball series being played. In
action last week, the two teams split with the Icelanders
winning the first game and the second contest going to the
IDF men.
In the first game both teams started out slow with most
of the points coming underneath the^
basket on second shots. The Ice
landers walked off the court at
halftime one point behind, 21 to
20. But after the intermission they
literally ran away with the game.
Fast Break Works
Running on every chance, they
were too much for the base team
as they posted a 53 to 47 victory.
Kristinn topped the Reykjavik all-
stars with 15 points and Gunnar
pumped in 10. Jim Anspaugh came
off the bench to lead the IDF men
with 10 points. Anspaugh starred
for AFI during the season. Wil-
liam Hoover from the 57th FIS
dropped in 8 points and Admin’s
Bill Skally tossed in 7. Larry
Sterling who scored 20 points in
the first game was held to 6 in the
second contest.
Sterling Hits 21
In the third game the IDF all-
stars bounced back to score an
impressive 67 to 48 win. Larry
Sterling from the Marines found
the hoop again as he poured in
21 points. Bill SkaUy chipped in
16 points and controlled the back-
boards. The IDF all-stars started
out fast with Skally and Supply
forward Bill Stanford scoring the
first 12 points.
The base team maintained their
margin throughout the first half
and led at the halftime by 33 to
24. The fast break which the Ice-
landers used so successfully in the
second game was stopped by the
IDF men as they dropped two men
back after a shot was taken.
Gudmansson Tops Icelanders
The second half went the same
as the first with the Reykjavik
team extremely cold from the
floor. Gudmansson topped the
losers with 15 points and Sigurds-
son dropped in 10. William Hoo-
ver added 11 for the IDF all-
stars, Stanford had 9 and Alan
Montgomery chipped in 6.
The fourth and fifth games of
this series will be played i
Reykjavik. The dates will be an-
nounced at a later time.

Sandy Koufax and Don Drys-
dale, ace pitchers for the World
Champion Los Angeles Dodgers,
were holdouts as the Dodgers
started spring training. Koufax
is reportedly asking for a three-
year contract totaling $600,000
while Drysdale wants $450,000
over the same period of time.
General Manager, Buzzie Bavasi
says their differences is not the
amount of money but the length
of the contracts.

POISED FOR ACTION—A sleek supersonic jet fighter,
Northrop Corp.’s new addition to the U. S. Air Force Tacti-
cal Air Command (TAC), the F-5A Freedom Fighter, takes
a rest. These aircraft pictured above were delivered to the
Royal Norwegian Air Force at Rugge Aerodrome, Norway,
earlier this week.
Northrop s F-5 Freedom Fighter
Being Bought By NATO, Allies
The U. S. Air Forces’ hottest new entrant in the Tactical
Air Command (TAC), the F-5 Freedom Fighter, visited the
shores of Keflavik last Friday.
The 11 aircraft, developed by the Norair Division of
Northrop Corp., Hawthorne, Calif., are being delivered to
the Royal Norwegian Air Force at Rugge Aerodrome, Nor-
way. Norway is among several^
allied nations who are requesting
the F-5 supersonic jet fighter.
Northrop plans to supply more
than 700 Freedom Fighters to
these nations.
At Work In Vietnam
This small giant has proved its
worth in the Republic of Vietnam.
The special squadron in RVN, cal-
led “Skoshi (Little) Tigers,” is
providing close support for U.S.
and allied ground forces and is
also used for interdiction attacks.
Primarilly, these aircraft are
used by the U.S. Air Force as a
high performance jet trainer, cal-
led the T-38 Talon.
But when the demand from
many countries for a versatile,
tough jet f lighter capable of
supersonic speeds to low level,
close support missions, the two-
seat T-38 Talon was modified to
the single-seat F-5A Freedom
fighter.
F-5’s Statistics
TAC’s twin-engine jet fighter is
small but deadly. The smallest of
jet fighters in the TAC group,
the F-5 has a wing span of 25 feet
3 inches, length of 46 feet 4
inches and stands 12 feet 11
inches and flies at speeds in excess
of 850 miles per hour. It can
reach altitudes above 43,000 feet.
Northrop’s Freedom Fighter
can operate from unprepared air-
strips and has a range of more
than 1,050 miles.
The F-5s can be built with in-
flight refueling apparatus for in-
tercontinental distances. The
planes delivered to Norway were
not equipped with refueling gear.
For armament, the mighty
midget packs two 20-mm cannon
in its nose and carries a 6,200-
pound combat load of air-to-air
and ground-to-ground weapons in-
cluding bombs, rockets, missiles
and other ordnance.
Departed Sunday
The ten F-5As and one F-5B, a
two-seat model, departed for Nor-
way, Sunday, after a two-day lay-
over at Keflavik. The pilots,
three Norwegians and eight
Americans, who flew these air-
craft were chosen by the Air
Force Command based on their
professional abilities in flying the
Freedom Fighter.
The movement of aircraft was
under the control of the Tactical
Air Command, Langley AFB, Va.,
and the 4440th Aircraft Delivery
Group based at Chateauroux,
France. Movement control officer
for the 11 Northrop F-5s from
Langley AFB to Rugge Aero-
drome was headed by Maj. Wil-
liam J. H. Watson.

National Defense Service Medal
fContinued from page 1.)
working on a directive which will
spell out these designated periods
and other details concerning the
award of the NDSM.
Service officials say the medal
is not yet available for issue and
will not be until some time after
Defense publishers the qualifying
criteria.
Authority to award the NDSM
expired in 1954. Persons who have
the medal and who qualify under
the new order may add a service
star to their ribbon.
Concerning Foreign Awards
The new Defense directives
governing foreign awards puts
into effect the law of last October
which gave congressional consent
to accepting such awards. Because
foreign governments were involved
and the State Department had to
coordinate with them, details were
not worked out until now. The
bulk of the awards will be Viet-
namese.
Unless Congress consents, me-
dals from foreign governments
must be turned over the State De-
partment. Normally, about every
two years Congress passes a law
which permits specified indivi-
duals for whom awards are being
saved and who have since retired
to receive them.
