Editorial on "class”
There are many definitions for the
word 'class' in sports. To mention a
few^it could be called rising to the oc-
casion when perhaps not the best or per-
serving under extreme pressure on a win-
ning side. On a losing side it is the
ability to accept defeat with grace.
Everyone hates to lose who is a true
competitor, however, many can say "I
have class" when they lose. Little
things such as shaking an opponent's
hand and not blaming officals for your
defeats are considered parts of class.
Anyone who wins consistently gets votes
for class when he gets confronted with a
particularly gulling loss and takes it
in stride.
Class is also keeping a level head
during a tight contest. No one can play
when angry or overly excited. Keeping a
level head and accepting a controversial
call can help a team or individual be
ready for his best effort when the crisis
arises. Very few players have a tendency
to 'hot dog' it ever show much class under
fire.
Class many also be the ability to sit
on the bench and cheer for your team
even if you feel you should be playing.
Accepting the manager's decision and re-
specting it shows class. A true team
player will usually have a high degree
of class. Faith in your teammate's a-
bility improves your own performance and
brings out that little something extra
in tight situations. All this is a part
of class.
In closing I would like to congratu-
late our station softball team for a
superb display of class. From the man-
ager Joe Miexner to the last substitute
they showed me class in all the hand
drills and practice periods we went
through to field the best team possible.
All hands competed but rooted for
each other while competing. They had
what you call an even keel when playing
and competing. They got off to a poor
start against the League All Stars, who
were a very good team and came back to
clearly demonstrate their superiority.
All season Joe Miexner was observed in
his managing of the 57 FIS Black Knight.
He passed down his class to his team who
are tied for first in the intramural
league while not perhaps possessing the
best all around talent. I predict that
Joe will lead the team to victory in
their next tournament because when the
games get close he has that intangible
something called class to help him be a
winner.
VP-24 has talent
Within the American slowpitch league
two teams are in a two way race for
first.
VP-24 has the stronger team; however,
the 57A has risen to the Black Knights
by one run.
The pitching of Tay Stone has been
a strong asset for 57A, but the all a-
round power, defense ability and im-
proved pitching by Jim Mike has made
VP-24 the favorites.

3-way knot to untie
57B could be the slight favorite in
the three way seesaw contest In the Na-
tional League slowpitch.
Nav Fac, AFI Sec. and 57B share four
losses in a very tight battle for first.
AFI. Sec. has had rotation problems
while Nav. Fac. has internal unrest.
Rockville leads division
Rockville has blasted a three game
lead in the second half over NCS and
NSGA in intermediate action.
Despite Kevin Gallagher's expert re-
cruiting, AFI hasn't been able to make
a run for the pennant.
Bigstep next
Willow Groove is the next stop for
the Station Team as they emerged as the
4th Naval District Champions.
The tourney was close all the way,
despite an, 8-7, loss to Portsmouth, The
Naval Station's slowpitch team came out
of the losers' bracket to defeat Ports-
mouth twice by a score of, 12-9 and 3-2,
on the final day after disposing Bruns-
wick earlier.
The Station Team won, 11-4, over USS
Brumby and, 8-7, over Brunswick before
the final day heroics ended.
