Larzalerc, Following the call to the courts made in November by Coaches Ens. Robeson and. Ens. Larzalere, approximately one hundred aspirants responded to fight for ositions on the team that would represent NAPS in the 1948 basketball season.

'hack Track, the olympic part of our sports program, is composed of sixty odd men interested in the glory to be gotten only on the cinders. Lt. Fallon and lins. Finneran, the coaches, spent much time with their proteges to get them into form for their short but strenuous sea- son. Although a greater part of the squad was practicing the relays and the sprints, some spent their time practicing the hurdles, the high jump, the broad jump, the pole vault, the shot put, the discus, and the javelin. These field events were under the watchful eye of LTQIG Nardone. In April the speedsters entered the Penn relays. Coach Fallon sent two re- lay teams, one the quarter mile relay, the other the mile relay. Also, the track team had one meet with the Navy Plebes, and was entered in the Fort Bel- voir Relays. Later in the season the team matched its speed and skill in com- petition with the Baltimore Olympic Club, and the Spike Brigade from Aberdeen. The year l947 marked the initiation of the Commodores into the rigors oi cross country. Under the able guidance of Ensign ll. G. Finneran, the squad of twenty began its practice during the latter part of October, and three weeks later was showing signs of developing into a well-rounded team. The first meet with the Navy plebes was chalked up to experience, as it could not be tabbed under the win column, the score being 15-40 for Annapolis. However, continued improvement was shown, and Pensacola's veteran runners were hard put to win the second trial. ' The following meet brought victory when Bainbridge trounced King's Col- lege, Delaware, by the decisive score of 17 to 38. The final meet was the closest of the season, with the University of Delaware winning by one point, 27 to 28. The first four members of the team also participated in a five mile street run in Camden, New Jersey. The first team consisted of Pierson, Thomas, Crouse, Sagerholm, Hall, Hedges, Satterwhite, Craft, Coler, and Christensen. The manager was H. A. Tombari, who gave unstintingly of time and effort on behalf of the team. Front Row - Tombari, Crouse, Hall. Standing - Mathers, 1 Sagerholm, Thomas, Pierson, Hedges, Christensen, Ens. 1 Finneran.
