SPORTS Many are impressed when told that the MORTON is over 400 feet long, and weighs 4000 tons. Only those who have lived on a destroyer for months on end know how small that is. Exercise is limited to strug- gling through push-ups on a rolling deck, or, for the ambitious, lifting weights on a calm day. An inport period meant a chance to run, and run we did. The MORTON Westpac Sports Olympiad was an inspired way to let off steam. The program began before deployment in Long Beach when an unknown MORTON farm team challenged the First Fleet Flag Football powers and won the league crown. Then it blossomed into intra-ship competition in football, basketball, Softball, tennis, volleyball and skeet shooting. For the perennial egg-heads there was chess and ace-deuce. The results were almost always surprising — First Division overpowering the Officers ' team in basket- ball, the X.O. proving that his prowess at the plate wasn ' t all talk, FTGI Dangler humbling both the wardroom and chiefs ' quarters in the ace-deuce tournament, and STG2 Schultz walking away with the MORTON Cup in tennis. It was a great season. It took all the thought he could muster, but SN Huenefeld de- feated the CO. for the chess championship (above). The officers lost to SN Singleton and the First Division team in Pearl (below left) but came back to beat Operations despite a spectacular umpiring job by SN Smith (below). •i -.«i - '
