Dave Maiining make up the 300 yard medley team and never were their points so valuable or so welcome as in the Princeton meet this year. Dave holds his own inthe hundred with anyone in the nation. jim .Green ranks along with Maniiiiug and these boys can be depended upon in any race. In the 50, it is Charlie Dobbs and Butner who have been gathering in the points. Mize and Thompson have been doing well in the 220. Henry Ortland, the coach's son, and Blair have been swimming mates in the quarter mile. The team is not complete without the divers, Mayo and Kelly. There are many men who have added their bit to the team. Such boys as Curley Graham and Bob Williams in the backstrokeg Glynn and O,Rourke in the breast- stroke, and Hallet, Tiemaiis, Corse and Lyon in the free- style have made the competition keen, and the boys who hold the top spots have had to work to stay there. This yearis team has elevated swimming as a sport, a pastime, and a necessity in the eyes of most midshipmen. The relay team brought viciory out of defeat on more than one occasion Carve!

This year, his twenty-sixth, he has a team which is sparkling with talent. Never before have so many records been broken. Wins over some of the best teams in the nation prove that the boys have been working hard under the watchful eye of their coach. Jack Manherz, Navyls captain and Freddie Berry are two of the top breastrokers in the nation. Brock Mott and X The Captain-jack Manberz Bob Cowell have been pushing each other to the limit, and each in turn has cracked the Academy record for the 150 yard backstroke this year.

K ii ' ' mf- ,z , I , .n ,. m,..,, ..,..l The firing line bullets and lnmlrs eyes EACH YEAR the Academy turns out a top-notch rifle team. This year was no exception. Navy teams have, through the years, established a record so free of defeats that the Regiment no longer considers the possibility of a loss, but, after each match, merely asks, 'CWhat was the score?i' Proud and conscious of this tradition of constant victory, the Navy riflemen pitted their skill and judg- ment to learn all the tricks of the trade that 'johnny Branzellw our armorer, and friend had to teach us. Under the guidance of their Coach, Lieutenant Creevy and officer representative, Lieutenant Colonel Moreau, the men of Navy developed the trigger Hnger control required of more than expert riflemen. Led by Captain Everett Herman, the rifle team in- augurated its l944 season with a smashing victory over their comrades in arms, the Cadets of the Coast Guard Academy in the first encounter between these two his- toric Naval Schools. Continuing their winning ways, the l team scored five consecutive triumphs and as this book went to press were pointing for the pointers to win that coveted N-star.
