TRAIIVEE Naval athletics are in the form of inter-barracks competi¬ tion for the volleyball and softball seasons. Teams organ¬ ized bv the fellows are registered with the athletic officer V C7 SPORTS who plans the season with the aid of the athletics special¬ ists in the V-12 unit. It is regrettable that no photographs of the trainees’ sports were available for this edition. Copley Hot Shots and Nickel Nippers Victors in Barracks Volleyball IVNERS of the naval volleyball elimination tournament were the Copley-Thaw Hot Shots, coached by Specialist Anthony Montalbano. Undefeated during the entire sea¬ son of play, the Hot Shots played their final game with the Chesnut Dubs; the Dubs taking the first game, 15-5, with the Hot Shots taking the next two, 15-3 and 15-9, to win the set and the title. Teams of the inter-barracks league had nine men in order to enable more trainees to participate in the competition. Ten point games were the usual rule to save time. Members of the championship team were Walter Marquard, captain; Thomas Collins, Kenna Farris, Arthur Greathead, How ard Gotelli, Peter B. Hill, Russell Jones, James Locker, and Jerry Whalen. Winners of the consolation bracket were the Nippers, a team of men from Nickel barracks. Copley Sluggers Blank Stragglers; W. Eager Beavers Take Game Softball finds two leagues organized — the American league composed of Chesnut and W oodward teams, and the National league composed of Copley and Nickel teams. As we go to press, the season is not yet complete, but has been shortened to permit completion before the seniors graduate. Only un¬ defeated teams will play in the finals, with the Copley Sluggers being the fav¬ orites in the National league over the Copley Goldbricks and Copley Ram Rods. Most promising contenders for the American league championship are the Woodward Eager Beavers, who will compete with the Chesnut Gobs, W oodward Dirty Socks, and W oodward Blues, all of whom are undefeated. Bobby Layman Wins Cross-Country In Park’s annual cross-country run, Bobby Layman, W oodward V-12er, finished first with the time of 17 min¬ utes and 50 seconds over the 2.6 mile course. Clifford Reeves placed sec¬ ond with Emil ranich third. Reeves is a Chesnut man, while ranich hails from Copley-Thaw. Other naval participants were John asse, Cop¬ ley; Marian Rushing, Woodward; James Rippey, Woodward; and Bill Hagertv. Chesnut, who placed in that order.

Statistics on the season show the Auroras under “Bobbie” Watson taking second place, while Marj Olsen’s inexperienced but hard-fighting Lu¬ cernes finished in the cellar.

H (I FT HA LL Softball saw the Calliopeans again taking the title, al¬ though the season was halted at the two-thirds mark by bad weather. Improved playing by all teams made the last games superior to the first error-filled contests. The Cal- lios took the championship by one game; the Auroras in second place, while inexperience held the Lucernes in the cellar. All-stars for the season were as follows: Doris Glidden, Lucerne; Gladys Hart, Aurora; Yvonne Rim- nels, Callio; Dorothy King, Aurora; Jerrie McComb, Au¬ rora; Joyce Lafoon, Aurora; Yvonne Grigg, Callio; Ann Harwood, Lucerne; Joan Gant, Callio; Pat Rankin, Cal¬ lio; listed in order of votes received.
