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.

first row, left to right: marshall, d. e. kelley, best, jardine, wentz, ventnrini. second row: gladser, luxenberg, ronstadt, franich, colclough, hanf, hood. tennis as this edition goes to press the soft- ball team, under the guidance of mid- shipmen coach john 6'humpl1rey,, gard- ner, has just suffered a great loss of players which has forced the team to be discontinued for the remainder of the season. the team started out with some fine talent and a lot of enthusiasm. but due to powers beyond their control such returned stalwarts as paul bonitz, pat patterson, jack hood, paul kelly, from the infieldg and bruce hanna and dick alley from the outfield were dropped from the squad. but instead of disbanding tl1e squad coach humphrey set out to uncover some new talent. he found some pretty fair players in joe ban who took over the initial sack with humphrey play- ing second, the dependable bill mairs at third and bill andrew covering the short patch. covering the long balls we had clyde tex donalson, john ma- honey and jim stilleke. the battery con- sisted of jim halton chucking and bob baily catching. but then another drastic cut in play- ers came which forced the team to be disbanded. we hope next year's squad will have better luck and preferably better scholars. ' . first once again tennis emerged as one of the more popular sports at c.m.a. the fall semester brought new talent to the courts which was exhibited in full ar- ray as cl company was victorious in the company tennis competition. top notch representatives from each company battled it out in both singles and doubles in class a competition, as cl and lm company held the spotlight all the way, kelly and jardine teamed up to down the hard fighting combina- tion of hanf and hood in the final doubles series, while hanf bowed to kelly in what was certainly the most spectacular event on the courts. the second phase of the tennis tour- nament found singles and doubles teams from each company participat- ing in class h competition. ln com- pany's venturini and harper took the doubles crown from c company's conklin and lipman, and wentz very ably represented 'hcl' company in de- feating a company's gladser in the singles match. a successful tennis year culminated in a mass migration to the courts, with participation reaching a peak during the final semester.
