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.

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.

J.; Merrill, R. A.; Powers, K. J. Back row: Bunker, R. B.; Cunningham, W. J.; Gilrain, R. F. L.; Volkar, H. E.; Daugherty, B.; Smith, W. D.; Kay, R. B.; Gauthier, G. F.; Hollender, F. A.; White, C. R.; Whistler, D. Taken by and large this track season has been nothing spectacular, and Coach Roy S. johnson, at best, can only look towards the distant horizon and dream of next year. There are a few highlights, however, which should make this season a most memorable one. One is the brilliant running of 19-year-old Bill Smith, who has burned up the cinder track in every meet in the 100 yd. dash, the 220 low hurdles, and the Broad Jump. Smith amassed a total of 12 points in the Border Con- ference meet to cop high point honors, and also boasts the highest individual total of points scored in the four meets to date. Bill runs with an effortless, smooth style that is beautiful to watch. The distance races see iron man Frank Hogan performing well in the grueling mile and two mile races and holding his own in both events. Bill Daugherty and Ted Keswick, each long in talent and experience, show promise in the high hurdles. Daugherty also participated in the 220 low hurdles, while Keswick is also a high jumper. Other men who have competed in track events in one of the four meets to date include Kay, 440 yd. dash; Greene, two mile; Barber, high jump; Bunker, 220 yd. dash; Hubbard, 880 yd. dash; Volkar, 100 and 220; Thurs- ton, 980. One standout performer in the field events is Bob Evans, who took up where he left 0E last year and hit top form early in the season in the javelin throw. He placed first in the opening meet of the year against Arizona State of Tempe and drew seconds in the next three meets, including a runner-up spot in the Big Border Conference meet at Tucson. In this meet he tossed the spear a distance of 171 feet, and against the winning mark of 175 feet. Weightmen Lou Cullen and Buster Morris distinguished themselves with consistently good performances in the shot put and discus. Morris also threw the javelin. Other participants in the field events are Mayall, high jump and broad jump; Starr Jenkins, pole vault and mile run. The Lobo thin-clads were victorious in their opening meet against Tempe on the local track. The following week the squad trav- eled to Amarillo for a triangular meet against Texas Tech and West Texas State, New Mex- ico finishing second. The next meet saw the powerful Arizona U. team thoroughly out- class the Lobos in a contest which was held here at Varsity Stadium. In the final meet to date the Lobos placed second in the Border Conference meet at Tucson, finishing behind the Arizona Wildcats. mmyW Wawa-
