SPORTS Over the last two basketball seasons the MCNTICELLO FIVE HAS DONE QUITE WELL FOR ITSELF. TWICE THEY HAVE FINISHED IN SECOND PLACE IN PHIBRON FIVE competition and possess an overall record OF 30 wins and 14 loses. While deployed in West Pac this year the team played twelve games and finished at a .500 pace. Three of these games were played in Zamboanga during the MONTICELLO ' s Good Will trip to port. The team took two of the three contests and was pleasantly surprised ABOUT THE FINE CALIBRE BALL THE ZAMBOANGA TEAMS PLAYED. For what they lack in height is amply compensated for by their SPEED, BALLHANDLING , AGGRES S I V EN ESS A ND TR EM ENDOU S T EA M WOR K .
