Question: Last week we asked
for the favorites in the National
League; this week we explore the
possibilities of the pennant aspi-
rants in the American League.
ROBERT
NAILE, RM2,
TECH CON-
TROL, NEW
BEDFORD,
MASS.—“Balti-
more. Their
pitching staff
is tough and the
hitting is sec-
ond only to Minnesota.”
KENNETH
BLAIR, HM3,
HOSPITAL,
ALEXANDRIA,
VA.—“Chicago.
They are one of
the most con-
sistant winners
in baseball and
they have a
all-around ball club. Balti-
is a close second choice.”
| LT NICHOLAS
POTTS, AIR-
CRAFT MAIN-
TENANCE OF-
FICER, LOUS-
■ VILLE, KY. —
“Baltimore
looks like the
best team in
the American
League this year. They should hit
at least 200 home-runs.”
D. J. MCNAM-
ARA, CS1,
COMMISSARY
STORE, RICH-
MOND, VA.—
“The New York
Yankees should
recover from
last year’s dis-
aster to win
another title. They have a sound
pitching staff and Mantle is due
for another great year.”
A1C HUGH O.
RUDISILL,
AFI, LINCOLN-
TON, N. C.—
“I think the
Yankees will
bounce back
and take it.”

‘The Stilt’ Sparks Team
To Eastern Division Title
It was beer for the commoners and champagne for the
kings in Baltimore. The Philadelphia 76ers gave each other
beer shampoos after wrapping up the Eastern Division
title of the National Basketball Association. This was done
by virtue of the 76ers’ game against the Baltimore Bullets
in the Civic Center in Baltimore.
The N.B.A.’s most valuable^
player of the season, Wilt Cham-
berlain of the 76ers, got the little
added touch. In addition to beer
on his head, he got some cham-
pagne.
Breaks Celtics’ Spell
Now that Wilt Chamberlain has
helped Philadelphia end Boston’s
nine-year reign as Eastern Divi-
sion Champions in the National
Basketball Association, he says he
wants the big prize—the N.B.A.
Championship. Chamberlain calls
the 76ers’ Divisional Title, “Just
a down payment on the big one.”

The American League was do-
minated by two men, Dorsey of
Supply banged a 605 scratch
series and added 18 pins handi-
cap to give him a 623 handicap
series. Olson was the big game
man with a 225 scratch and 247
handicap.
The honors were shared by more
men in the National and Inter-
national League, with Cinotto of
Rockville rolling a 244/605 scratch
and 248/617 handicap. Maher of
AFI got on the boards with a 613
series handicap. It was Public
Works again as Pfordte hung a
231 single game handicap on the
board.
In the International League,
Paul Wesley of Comptroller and
Doser of Fleet Weather Facility
shared the high game honors with
211. Jim Anspaugh of AFI banged
a 648 series handicap and also
took the honors with a scratch
series of 564 Wesley of Comp-
troller got on the boards again
with a 243 single game handi-
cap.
Chamberlain, the league’s lead-
ing scorer and rebounder, scored
24 points and grabbed 26 re-
bounds as the 76ers clinched the
Eastern title yesterday with a 108
to 104 victory over the Baltimore
Bullets. A 24-point spurt at the
start of the third quarter was the
key to the Philadelphia victory,
the 76ers’ eleventh win in a row.
Boston Clinches Second
This is the first time since the
1955-56 season, when the old
Philadelphia Warriors took the
title, that Boston has failed to
win the Divisional Championship.
The Celtics beat Cincinnati, 121
to 104, and wound up one game
behind the 76ers.
In the Western Division, the
St. Louis Hawks clinched third
place — the final playoff spot —
by defeating the Detroit Pistons,
121 to 117, while fourth-place San
Francisco was knocked out of con-
tention by Los Angeles, 124 to 112.
Player-coach Richie Guerin spark-
ed the Hawk’s victory with 37
points. Jerry West paced the Los
Angeles win with 35 points.

NavSta ‘All-Stars’
Tournament Bound
A tense and excited throng of fans and spectators were on
hand at the Arctic Bowl last Sunday to witness the final
All-Star roll-offs.
Twenty-four men vied for the top ten spots during the
tournament which began March 16. Winners in the roll-off
were determined by total pinfall from the 30 games rolled
over a five-day period with six^
games per day.
At 4 p.m., Sunday, March 20,
Cdr Richard C. James, executive
officer of the Naval Station, pre-
sented the top ten bowlers of the
tourney with bowling shirts.
Tournament Bound
Although the top ten men wear
the Naval Station Keflavik All-
Star emblem on their backs, only
the first six bowlers will repre-
sent Keflavik at the COM I
Tournament at Davisville, R. I.,
starting April 25.
Now, for the keglers who com-
prised the winners:
Coming through on top during
the five-day event was Dave Na-
dolski, whose 5724 total pinfall
averaged close to 191.
Conkey Posts 3 Highs
Carl Conkey blasted his way
wdth consistent bowling to second
place with a 5699. He also rolled
three tourney highs: a 252 game,
686 three-game series, and 1216
IDF Teamwork Doe* The Job
CAREFUL NOW—Care is re-
quired when operating a metal
lathe to prevent loss of fingers.
A2C Joseph F. Scharl, 22, of the
Navy and Air Force Machine Shop
is well aware of this. He’s a
veteran of three years Air Force
service and has been attached to
the 57th FIS, here in Iceland, three
months. This Pittsburgh native
plans on either a job as machinist
or further schooling after his Air
Force tour.
RIGHT PRESSURE—Testing oxy-
gen regulators is just one of many
many jobs for George E. Myers,
PR1. 27-year-old parachute rigger
works at the Aircraft Maintenance
Department (AMD) paraloft. He
is a veteran of lO'/z years Naval
service, 4 months of that, here in
Iceland. A native of New York
City, he plans to spend 20 years
in the Navy and then open an up-
holstery shop.
WAITING FOR CASH—Glen M.
Gowen, AN, is a mess cook. His
specific job is collecting money at
Galley 755 for food eaten by
those on commuted rations.
The 19-year-old airman has
been in the Navy 1% years, 11
months of that here in Iceland. A
native of Memphis, Tenn., he in-
tends to attend college under the
GI Bill after leaving the service.
for six games.
Third place was taken by Ed
Hunt with a 5647, Ned Weyant,
fourth at 5604, John Emmert,
fifth, 5523, and Don Sullivan
placed sixth with a 5518 total
pinfall.
Rounding the top ten All-Stars
were Norm Martin, 5503, Jim Guy-
ton, 5500, Gary Nielson, 5493 and
Clint Neal with a 30-game total
of 5492.
Comback Man Emmert
The most spectacular comeback
bowler was John Emmert. After
the tourney’s first day, March 16,
Emmert was in 21st place out of
24. Beginning the final six lines
last Sunday he was tied for
seventh place.
With clutch bowling and calm-
ness under pressure he managed
not only to take seventh but end
up in the fifth spot, and bound
for Davisville!
Although several people were
responsible for the fine roll-off
tourney, most of the credit and
a big thanks goes to Paul Jordan
for a fine job.
