A small lightning-fast quintet representing the Second Company streamed through a galaxy of top flight competition in .the Intra- mural Basketball Tournament and emerged the undefeated champions. Dick Kelso and D. E. TiSmitty Smith sparked the Second Company five, combining standout floorplay with an outstanding scoring average through- out the tourney. Other Second Company players included Daugherty, Zerbey, OTBrien, Adamson, and Brammer. Twenty teams entered the tournament, but as the weeks rolled by they dropped out one by one until the field was narrowed to four teams. These four clubs, Kappa Alpha, Sec- ond Company, Dodoes, and Barracks 210 squared off in the semi-finals. The strong Kappa Alpha five was downed by the fast- breaking Second Company cagers 25-16 as Kelso bucketed thirteen points. Barracks 210 was eliminated in a nip and tuck struggle by the Dodoes: Fred Doar taking 14 for the victors while Brock of the Kirtland Field squad hit the basket for 10. In the finals the Second Company hoopsters ran the challanging Dodos ragged with a sizzling fast break attack. Kelso and Smith were in top form, scoring 20 and 16 respec- tively. Dodos' Lou Cullen found the hoop for 16 points. The Dodos switched their defense fre- quently in an attempt to squelch the Second Company scoring rampage, but the Navy squad continued to score almost at will, always keeping at least 5 points in the lead. With Daugherty, Adamson, and Zerbey working the ball into Kelso and Smith, Second Company kept up a torrid pace until the final gun. -g h 4' Returning to intercollegiate competition for the iirst time in four years, Coach George Petrol's golf team climaxed a fairly success- ful season by garnering second place in the Border Conference meet. The University of Arizona won the championship followed by UNM, Texas Mines, and Hardin-Simmons in that order. The Lobos opened their schedule with a victory over Texas Mines on the University links. The Arizona Wildcats invaded the local course next and swept two matches in as many days. A defeat at the hands of the Texas Mines team at El Paso concluded the Lobos' dual meet season. J. K. Duffy and Jim McKee were the only Navy men on the squad. Both of these trainees played an improving game and held prominent places on the team. Left: McKee, J. C.; Right: Duffy, J.

New Mexicols NROTC rifie team is the only all-Navy team to represent the University in intercollegiate competition. The rifle team challenges and accepts the challenges of other Navy Units and also takes part in the National NROTC matches. The members of the team do their firing in the inside riHe range located in the base- ment of the Co-op dormitory. They use small bore, .22 caliber, Mossberg target rifles, and the targets used are National Rifle Asso- ciation Official Fifty Foot Small Bore Rifle Targets. The distance to the targets is fifty feet, Which is the standard for small bore practice. The men do their practicing either during their Physical Training class period or in their free time. The liring is done from four positions, prone, sitting, kneeling, and stand- ing. Firing from the standing or off-hand position is the most difficult. The team has the enviable record of having won five out of seven matches played thus far this semester. Matches remained with North- western University, Princeton University, and the University of Southern California, at the time of this writing. Colorado, Rice Institute, Illinois, Marquette, and Texas U. all lost to UNM before the Unit was defeated by Stan- ford and Michigan. In the National NROTC Trophy Matches held last February the rifle team placed seventeenth in the field of forty-seven. Lt. tjug7 Grauten and Chief Quartermaster Kemp deserve much credit for the fine work they have done in guiding the team during the past semester.
