What it is—this inclination
in nearly every man towards
the sporting life, an inclination
that will, at times, lead him to
take stock of his assets . . . and,
if his better half isn’t watching
risk a little on a wager or two?
No one has ever successfully
explained this taste for gaming,
the risking of all on a turn of
the card, the legs of a horse, or
whatever. But, even though it
defies explanation and reason,
it hasn’t stopped nearly every-
one from experiencing either
firsthand or vacariously, the
thrill of the contests, a thrill
made the more acute, when
you’ve got a stake on the out-
come.
Sometimes this call of the
sporting life manifests itself in
the most extraordinery man-
ners. While it may seem unrea-
sonable, it is neverthless quite
natural that Mark Twain should
write such a tale as “The Celeb-
rated Jumping Frog of Calave-
ras County”, which has it’s sett-
ing in California during the
century past. In the story the,
miners, after a hard day of toil
sluicing and panning, find them-
selves with a handful of gold
burning their pockets. It is a
situation quite easily remedied.
Taking stock of the local fauna,
They reach a group decision
that the frogs found in abund-
ant supply are worthy animals,
athletic, with the hearts of tho-
roghbreds. And, so it is that the
miners, without much further
ado, invest their dust in the
speculous proposition of which
frog can jump the farther.
It’s a tale that, although it
may not be true, is rich in con-
flict, a sense of the past, and
more than a hint of the bizarre,
and, therefore, quite worthy of
capitalization.
A few years ago, several of
the more sporting of the citi-
zeiry of Calaveras County
(there is such a place) institut-
ed the annual, esoteric Calave-
ras County Jumping Frog Jubi-
lee—which is dedicated not so
much to the preservation of
frog-jumping as a sporting rite,
as it is to the fulfilling of the
monumental sense of novelty
with which man is so generous-
ly endowed.
Last Sunday the C-C-J-F-J
was again staged, to the delight
of countless eccentrics. A bull
of a frog named Rusty (and
that’s no bull) set a new world’s
record for the event, covering
seventeenth feet, one and a half
inches, with three prodigous
leaps. Rusty’s record-breaking
bounds also enabled his owners
to return home with the first
prize money of one thousand
silver dollars (Some sports may
have their Simon Pures, but no
self-respecting frog owner
would allow his beastie to com-
pete just for the-shudder-fun of
it).
P.S. Anybody know where
we can get a frog, long of leg
and strong of thigh, and not
susceptible to a bribe. You can’t
be too careful nowadays.
Westman Club
Downs NavSta
Last week the Naval Station
Golf team ventured to the
Westman Islands for the an-
nual meeting of those two golf
clubs. The Westman team led
by the former Icelandic Cham-
pion Sveinn Arsselsson outpoint-
ed the Naval Station 22 y2 to
10%.
The game was marred by
winds of up to 65 miles per
hour and pouring rain.
Lt. Cdr. Bob Johnson and Lt.
Bill Wojanis were the only
members of the Station team
to win all three points. Chief
Harris and Chief Hash of AMD
both played fine golf with Hash
outscouring his opponent 2 to 1
and Harris splitting his match.
The players arrived Friday
evening by air and just prior
to landing had the opportunity
to fly over the volcano Surtsey
which was spewing molten lava
high in the air. Friday evening
was spent in 18 holes of prac-
tice for the tournament the
following day.
Although losing to the Cham-
pion in his match Tom Prown
of the Supply Department had
the Icelanders excited with his
tremendous drives in excess of
260 yards.
Saturday evening following
the tournament Mr. Arsselsson
invited the group to his home
where he entertained with fan-
tastic color close-up movies of
the first, second and third day
of the volcano eruption. The
team was also guests of the
secretary of the Westman Team
Mr. Einarsson Sunday evening
as he hosted a cocktail party
at his home.
The Westman Island team
and the Naval Station team will
compete later at the new Kefla-
vik Course.

Over in the American League,
Navy Exchange stayed on top
of the heap by taking three
points from Rockville 2. Led by

change team had no trouble in
taking Rockville.
Although losing four points
to a high flying Marine team,
IDF ended up in second place,
four points out. The Marines
behind S. Suchomolly 200-581,
W. Bishop 202 and B. Gensamer
508, rolled to an easy victory
over the IDF team and in doing
so, set a new league high team
game with handicap with their
1063. IDF was led by E. Vargo
211-512.
