RIFLE BOWLI G The newly formed SEIVERLING Sharpshooters have already shown a high potential for finding the elusive bullseye. Several practice shoots have been held and in their only match so far they banished a crack team from His Majesties Canadian Ship lraquois by a score of 916 to 844, Lack of practice facilities and acon- stantly changing personnel hindered the efforts of the bowling team. However, frequent unofficial matches with the other ships in the Division provided a welcome relaxation from shipboard rou- tine. , wow, sl1lP 5 .V .pnn gf?

BASEBALL Undefeated in a 10 game season! That's the outstanding record of the powerful SEIVERLING ball club. Most of the games were played at Navy Field, Sasebo, Japan. While no official tournaments were held, the SEIVE RLING horsehiders can at least lay claim to the unofficial championship of CortDiv 91. High spot of the schedule, however, was a victory over the cruiser St. Paul, one of the top teams in the Pacific.

A small but spirited group of officers and enlisted men dropped a hard-fought con- test to the Currier for their only loss of the season. Later they twice defeated the Moore and edged the Wiseman in a close thriller. Shipboard life is not ideal for the training of muscles and reflexes needed in an all-out sport like basketball. As a result sore and aching muscles were unwelcome companions for days after each game. off ng CafLeY7 32, Mfjhfo me . f ' 1 Swigznwfg' RL?
