Saturday, October 3, 1942
Georgia Pre-Flight Team
Favored in Tilt at Athens
ATHENS, Ga., Oct. 2—Tonight, on
the University of Georgia field, Lieut.
Ray Wolf has an excellent opportunity
to do what he has failed to do in years
past—beat Jim Crowley. The oppor
tunity comes when Lieut. Wolf’s Geor
gia Pre-Flight School football team
clashes with Lieut. Comdr. Crowley’s
North Carolina Pre-Flight aggrega
tion under the lights in the first game
of the season between two Navy
elevens.
As head coach at the University of
North Carolina, Wolf bumped heads
with Fordham University, coached by
Crowley, several times and, with one
exception, came out on the short end
of the score. That one exception was
a tie. Tonight Wolf’s star-studded
Skycracker squad is favored to whip
the North Carolina Cloudbusters be-

knocking down enemy aerials and
Filchock’s tosses may be damaging to
a great extent. Crowley watched Ca
tawba complete several yard-gaining
passes and the same was true in prac
tice sci'immages with Carolina and
Duke, Harvard broke its receivers
open many times but the passers
missed the targets too often.
To offset FilchocTc, the ’Busters have
Len Eshmont, the “Rapid Ram” who
sparked the 2-touchdown attack that
downed Harvard in the last six min
utes of play. And running with Esh
mont will be Cadet Joe Martin, the
“Smokey Joe” of Cornell’s Big Red
last season. Cadet Mort Landsberg,
another ex-Cornell star, won’t be at
full strength for the clash and the same
is true of Cadet Charles Pierce, start-

COACH JOH/sf V'^UGHT
LIEUT. RAY WOLF, left, and Lt. (jg) John Vaught, right, last year
were together as head grid coach and line coach, respectively, of the
Carolina Tar Heels. Wolf is now head coach of the Georgia Skycrackers,
while Vaught is assisting Lt. Comdr. Jim Crowler with the Cloudbusters.
fore a crowd not expected to exceed
5,000 fans.
The Georgia Pre-Flighters last Sat
urday turned back Pennsylvania Uni
versity, regarded as the strongest col
legiate team in the East, while the
’Busters were having a hard time
downing a green Harvax’d outfit at
Cambridge, Mass. And scouting Wolf’s
team was one of his former aides at
Carolina, Lieut, (jg) John Vaught,
now assisting Crowley with the Caro
lina Pre-Flight squad. Vaught is well-
versed in the style of play employed by
Wolf and he saw little in the way of
new formations when Georgia took the
field last Saturday. He did, however,
see enough fast backs and hefty line
men to convince him the Cloudbusters
ai'e in for a tough night in Athens.
Brightest star on the Georgia team
is Frank Filchock, one of the leading
passers in the nation and also a threat
as a running back. The Cloudbusters
to date have indicated a weakness at

The Skycrackers will enjoy at least
an 8-pound per man weight advantage
in the line and will be slightly heavier
in the backfield.
A man who wasn’t on hand to worry
Penn but who will be very much in
tonight’s scrap is “Jackrabbit” Jack
Crain, former University of Texas
star. Crain reported to Lieut. Wolf
Monday and likely will see much serv
ice before the final gun.
The Penn game was the first for
the Skycrackers and they are eager
to make their record read two vic
tories in two starts after tonight’s bat
tie. The Chapel Hill team downed Ca
tawba, 13 to 2, and Harvard, 13 to 0.
The other Pre-Flight Schools, at Iowa
City, la., and St. Mary’s, Calif., both
are undefeated and both face stiff tests
tomorrow.
Iowa’s Seahawks romped over Kan
sas, 61 to 0, and last Saturday bested
a strong Northwestern team, 20 to 12.
Tomorrow they face Minnesota, king
of the Big Ten gridirons, at Minne
apolis, Minn.
St. Mary’s Navy whipped College of
the Pacific and last Saturday used a
field goal in the last minute of play
to down Oregon, 10 to 9. Tomorrow
Lieut. Comdr. Tex Oliver sends his
men against U.C.L.A., regarded as the
“dark horse” in the Pacific Coast con
ference.

Three New Marks Set in Track Meet
By Cadet J. A. Cavanaugh
Three inter-squadron military track
records were toppled during the regi
mental track meet on Friday, Sept. 25.
Cadet R. 0. Schaffer, of the Buc
caneers, slashed three seconds off the
record he set the week previous, this
time crossing the tape in the 120-yard
low hurdles in 15.1 seconds. The ver
satile Schaffer, who is a former Buck-
nell track ace, made it a record-shat-
tering afternoon for himself by broad
jumping 18 feet, 9% inches, to better
the mark held by C. H. Carr of the
Wildcats.
Schaffer’s two first-places figured
substantially in aiding the Buccaneers
to win squadron honors with 31%
points.
Cadets C. W. Biaselle, D. L. Wood,
T. Avchen, and P. A. Ashby teamed to-

gether to give the Mustangs first place
in the 440-yard relay by hanging up a
new record of 47.2 seconds, .8 of a
second faster than the former mark.
laugA and Play
the Lewis Way
With a little more cooperation on
the part of the inmates of the first
deck of Lewis last Saturday night,
there would have been a good story.
At the 2300 bell that night Cadet
Frank Lo Turco, who spent his town
liberty in his bunk, was sleeping peace
fully when his three roommates mali
ciously started to bellow those famil
iar early morning commands, “Hit the
deck! All out, you swabs! Roll those
beds back! Rip those sheets off!”
It worked . . . Slightly confused, and
very sleepy, “the Turk” fumblingly
donned his drawers, shoes, and socks;
and towel in hand trotted out the door
only to meet the entire rollicking com
plement of said deck, who promptly
gave the play away.
The Turk was lucky. Led on by a
less uproarious, and more malicious,
audience, he might have fallen in for
formation at the 2325 bell for tatoo.
