PROBABLY THE MOST popular contest the PIO dreamed CONTINQED in 77 V ........-.,.,-,-,.. 1... I , - N -1 LT. B. W. SETZER reveals for the first time the secret' behind his winning form for picking football winners Cnote coin by middle drawerl. He picked the Illinois over Michigan upset because my wife had an uncle who lived near the Illinois basketball coach in high school. Weekly winners got 810.00 ftax freej for their efforts while 3100.00 was given ' away on the seasons last games. S A, V. M , ,.,. .W l. ,.f, ,, . .f R DIVISION, including the R Division officer, will do any- thing to get another division party. This time it was beating out the rest of the ship in contributions to the March of Dimes. One method used to win is shown above: Evancho gives Ens. Krats a haircut in the medalsmith shop . . . anyone who paid 51.00 could witness the operation. It turned out to be a. 5523.00 haircut. The division contributed 55.76 per man. Ens. Krats got the earliest appointment he could at the ship's bar- bershop. . COBB, BM2, is in the process of carrying away all the geedunks he can hold. To get a chance to do this Cobb won the Rapid Puzzle contest, a feature in the ship's bi-monthly newspaper, the RAPID-FIRE. This might involve unscrambl- ing ship's names, supplying cartoon captions, answering navy puzzles, etc. Oddly enough' of some 20 winners the biggest haul was only 32.14 of geedunks.
