Bears Maul Navy!
Take ISO Basket!);
The League-leading BE-
ARS won a sensational bask-
etball game from the bard-
driving NAVY five by the
seo^e of 29 to 24 at the And-
rews Fieldhouse this week.
Tliis victory gave the BEARS
undisputed top position in
the IBC hoop league —
with second place going to
the NAVY.
The trio of Martin, Nelson
and Corn accounted for 23
of the 29 points garnered by
the winners.
NAVY center Ward play-
ed an excellent floor game
and came through with five
doubledeekers and two from
the 15 foot mark to take top
scoring honors for his quint.
Forward Homer of NAVY
hit the rim for four field go-
als. This pair collected 20 of
the club’s two dozen total.
At half time the NAVY
five was ahead by a scant
point and it was nip and
tuck all the way. At this
writing, the BEARS are un-
defeated and the only loss on
the NAVY slate was admin-
istered by the aforemention-
ed quint.

FIRE BUGS SET LANES
AFIRE WITH RECORDS
League leaders in the Ten
Pin art remain the same this
weejv. But it took the Fire
Bugs of League D to cop
single game honors and five
man team orchids.
In addition to these week-
ly laurels, Pfc. Wayvell Lee,
Burksville, Kv., copped high
single game and high three-
game honors for the Fire
Bugs — who must have been
hot. Pvt. Lee proved, beyond
a reasonable doubt, that his
state produces more than
just beautiful women and
fast race horses (or is it the
other way around?) when he
nicked 182 for a high single
game and went on to roll 434
which proved to be the best
three-game high for the
week at ARC Club 14.
In the IBC Bowling Lea-
gue, A looks to the EIGHT
BALLS for guidance; the
ALERTMENTS are still al-
erting B League; the leaders
in C are the Yanks and in
D League the leaders, by a
narrow margin, are the
NAVY keglers.
