SPOUTS I i| ? i ? 9 .?. ft } if ILJ sr JL r f v mat A vigorous sports program again was initiated at the onset of our cruise. Approximately seventy persons have participated in the intra-mural bowling league which began in Vokosuka continued through Kaohsiung and is now being completed in Subic. At this time the Officer ' s team is deadlocked in first place with the S-i team going into the final games. Flag football became the new addition on our schedule when four intra-mural teams battled in Yokosuka in this semi-(?) contact sport. Flash Bird ' s A team came out on top at the season ' s end. Our highly talented basketball team again showed its prowess throughout the Orient. Victories were posted against the six best teams in Taiwan, the USS CHICAGO (CG-3), USS WINDHAM COUNTY (LST-1170), and the unbeatable , so they used to say, Yokosuka Seahawks in Japan, and against the USS BRYCE CANYON (AD-36) in Subic. The teams only loss of the season came against the USS RFEVES (DLG-24) by the narrow 7- 9 margin. Golf was again the favorite of many and tournaments were held in Yokosuka, Kaoshiung, and Subic. The Ship ' s Softball team, under the leadership of Cooper SF-i, began the season while in Taiwan. Victorious in TEN out of fourteen encounters, the team promises to produce many exciting games in the remainder of cruise and in Long Beach. The Officers and Chiefs split a pair of tremendous exhibitions while in Subic. The Officers downed the charging Chiefs 11 to c in the first game and the Chiefs came from behind to pull an upset victory in the second game 14-13. These various programs gave all hands the opportunity to participate in highlv enjoyable and competitive sports. ?. f .V .f Jtiz.
