Berkeley was the scene of this competition. when cruise began it looked as though there might be a lapse in sailing competition, but the members had two very pleasant surprises. In honolulu, the members enjoyed an afternoon sail aboard tl1e yacht nordlys owned and operated by mr. omar dar, now cruising the pacific islands. while the ship was in acapulco, a race was scheduled bc- tween the academy and the local yacht club. the boats used were twelve foot lehman dingies. two races were scheduled. jim craig won the first race and the second race was won by bud morley. the mexican team won hon- ours for first place having taken second and third places in both races. the following evening some nice trophies were presented to the winners at a dinner party given by the club de nautico, acapulco, mexico. when cruise ended the sailing club was ready to re- sume another busy schedule. this summer they have four int. 14's on loan to them from the cal. yacht club. it has also been arranged for members of the club to sail on the 87 foot schooner eloise, owned by capt. h. e. sawyer of the san rafael yacht club. this boat is handled entirely by the midshipmen. at this writing, it is planned to enter the eloise in all major races to he sailed upon san fran- cisco bay this summer.

An underwater endurance race was the climax of a series of contests he- tween midshipmen. For those sprinters among the cadets there was thc fifty meter free-style, and for those whose wind would hold up a one-hundred meter race was held. Twenty-live, fifty and one hundred meter hack stroke and breast stroke races were also in- cluded in the aquarade. although no world records were broken, enough speedy swimmers were noticed to en- able those onlookers in the field of sports to forecast a hit of thrilling competition in the '52 c0l'tlt:lsl.. II.. . one of the smallest athletic groups, and yet one of the most unique and intense of the various athletic aggrega- tion at the academy is the judo team. judo was introduced at c.rn.a. as an athletic activity in 19419 by Inidshipman robert jenkins who has since then tu- tored the class in the sporting element and self defense type of judo. recently, when the present third class entered the team was given the added spark of another accomplished judoist in the person of rolf anderson. the team has regular workouts three times a week and upon occasion enters into outside competition with various other teams around the san francisco bay area at which time the midshipmen are of- fered plenty of opportunity for fast action. 'upon the graduation of midshiplnzm jenkins, the team will he taken over by midshipman anderson, who with his speed in competition and patience in instructing should do a most 'com- mendable job of leadiii the team. swimming I eeling, left to right: stroud, lessard, spade, wilson, d. camphell. standing: wegner, dalgren, pedretti, tolin, gashler, macgregor, marshall.
