tired Williams, Hassett, and Cadet
Louis Gremp in order.
Three hits and a two-run error

of victory for the winners.

Sunday’s game with the All-
Stars was much the same as the
one played at Greensboro earlier
in the season.
In that contest the Cloudbusters
hitting power, aided by several
All-Star errors, provided the mar
gin of victory. The same thing
happened here. The Pre-Flighters
collected 12 hits, and with the help
of five All-Star errors scored
seven runs over the stretch.
Cadet Joseph Coleman went the
route for the locals to register his
ninth victory of the season
against two defeats.
A single by Lt. Alexander Sabo
and a two base error by Bill Good
man, All-Star left fielder, gave
the Pre-Flighters their first score
in the second. Another was added
in the third on successive singles
by Ensign Harry Craft, Ensign
Stan Hino, and Sabo.
With the count tied at 3-3, Has
sett led off with a single, went to
second on a wild pitch, and scored
on Cooke’s sfngle into left.
Sabo, with three singles, was
best at the plate for the winners
while Hassett, Hino and Moriarty
had two each. None of the Pre-
Flight hits went for extra bases.

Tuesday is Deadline
For Insurance
Without Physical
After Tuesday only new re
cruits, with less than 120 days in
service, may take out National
Service Life Insurance without
taking a physical examination to
qualify for such a policy.
Under this waiver which will
cease to exist next week, Navy
men may extend the amount of
their insurance, obtain additional
policies for other members of the
immediate family, or take out an
initial policy without examina
tion.
“Being able to take out insur
ance without physical examination
is made possible by the Navy de
partment in the belief that Navy
men everywhere wish to provide
maximum security for their wives,
children or parents,” Lt. (jg) C.
W. Smullen, station insurance of
ficer, pointed out.

Book Reviews ...
The Navy Reader, edited by
Lieut. William H. Fetridge,
USNR. The Bobbs-Merrill Co.,
Indianapolis; 443 pp.; $3.75.
The Navy Reader is a collec
tion of selected articles on the U.
S. Navy in World War II. There
will be found among them narra
tives and technical descriptions.
The narratives include some of
the most exciting stories written
about the exploits of our Navy and
its men during the present war.
Included in this group are por
tions of such stories as the “Life
and Death of the USS Yorktown,”
“They were Expendable” and
“Ace High,” by Lieutenant E. S.
McCusky. Such first-hand reports
give the reader the benefit of ex
periences of men under fire; every
Navy man should read them to
know what to expect when his
chance comes for combat duty.
The Navy today has become so
specialized that a man in carry
ing out his individual assignment
may not have an opportunity to
become familiar with other duties,
ships or stations. The technical
articles in The Navy Reader give
in concise form a complete work
ing description of our ships and
planes. The editor has rendered a
great service to the Navy man in
sifting the mass of material now
being published on the Navy and
compiling the best in one volume.
Although each article is com
plete in itself, the editor has im
posed a continuity which builds
up a complete picture of our Navy
today. It begins with introductory
articles by the President, Secre
tary of the Navy, an enlisted man,
and a Naval aviator which give
the perspective of these men.
Then follow descriptions of our
ships from the battleship to the
submarine and P. T. boats which
include two stimulating contro
versial essays on the importance
of the battleship.
In the space of 32 pages is given
a complete and concise history of
naval aviation and its place in
the fleet. Every naval aviator will
Avant to read this.
The editor has not forgotten the
arm chair strategist and has in
cluded expert information for this
group under the heading of “The
Navy in Global War” and “Naval
War.”
In conclusion will be found
“Ditty Box” which is a valuable
collection of information that the
average Navy man would never
acquire elsewhere.
Included in the appendix arie
war maps, diagrams of ships, two
glossaries, and a bibliography all
OFFICERS PICNIC
(Continued from page one)
will be worked out and all those
driving private automobiles are
urged to take a full load. Signs
will be posted along the road to
guide those unfamiliar with the
location of the picnic site.
Bus transportation will be
available to those without cars.
A picnic committee has been
formed with representatives in
various departments. Officers
should sign up with their depart
mental committee member or with
Lt. (jg) Leonard Eiserer, USNR,
recreation officer, in Room 112,
Alexander Hall, and at the same
time pay the 50c fee for them
selves and for each person coming
with them.
The picnic committee members
are: Academic Department, Lt.
(jg) Henry Brabham, USNR;
Athletic Department, Lt. (jg)
Gordon Clark, USNR; Military
Department, Lt. (jg) C. Hill
Peddy, USNR; Medical Depart

Win Doubles Title
The combination of Lt. Comdr.
Lloyd R. Sauer, USNR, and Ens.
B. T. Welsh, USNR, emerged as
doubles champs of the Pre-Flight
tennis tournament last week by
defeating the other finalist team
of Lt. (jg) A. K. Marckwald,
USNR, and Ens. T. W. Arnold,
USNR, by score of 6-1, 6-3. Six
teen teams were entered in the
division.
Play in the singles division con
tinues and is now in the semi-finals
round.
RVSSm FRONT
(Continued from page one)
carious foothold across the Kerch
Strait. At the far northern end
of the front the German lines have
been bent back around Leningrad
but they have not broken.
Impressed by the defensive
strength of these positions the
Nazi High Command has relin
quished strategic opportunity to
the United Nations. The iron dice
of war lies before us. Our first
cast in Sicily proves that we are
not afraid of the wager.
of which go to make The Navy
Reader an excellent reference
book as well as an interesting de
scription and story of our Navy.
Every Navy man should want The
Navy Reader in his library.
