All proceeds above actual ex penses will be placed in the infan tile paralysis fund, Mr. Huggins announced. First prize will be $10.00 in war stamps, second prize will be a pair of bowling shoes donated by the Carolina Sports Shop, and third prize is a sweater donated by Jack Lipman’s.

Players may bowl as many three game sets as they desire as long as they pay their 30 cents for each three lines they want to count in the contest. ..Sport Slants,. Another honor has been be stowed upon Comdr. Tom Hamil ton, head of the Navy’s Pre-Flight physical training program. Fol lowing the announcement that he was named football’s “man of the year,” word came last week that he has been named by the execu tive committee of the National Soccer Coaches Association as the man who did the most for soccer in 1942. Lieut. Earle C. Waters, head soccer coach at the local Pre-Flight School said Comdr. Hamilton was selected for the honor because he had played a major role in estab lishing the sport as an important part of the Pre-Flight condition ing program. That Comdr. Hamilton was the ttian to be named, there can be no <loubt. His enthusiasm to use sports, as the basis for training future Navy pilots to be the tough est in the world, has done much to keep competitive athletics going during the war. To those who know him, he is “sport’s man of the year.” ij: ^ 'j* The loss through graduation of Cadets Bob Masterson and How- ®^’d McWilliams of the Cloud- See SPORT SLANTS, page U \ % tiol n tf jk 4 •#> 1^!^ "HftHPOo" W- w W I ''tayuH' ^ 0Wf (Cpjf tef i - fOfi'p U€fPLftNK WUTCH j) A YOt> KNOW WHO i Basketball Cloudbusters Drop Two Games; Meet N. C. State Here Monday Coach Dyke Raese’s Cloud busters dropped two games dur ing the past week, one a 50-40 de feat at the hand^ of Long Island University in Madison Square Garden, and the other a 47-45 defeat by George Washington here Wednesday afternoon. The Cloudbusters were ahead in both games with ten minutes to play, but in each case the winners pulled ahead in the final moments. In the Garden game the Pre- Flighters were tied at halftime, 24-24, and thanks to two uncanny shots by Broberg and Masterson midway the final period they grabbed a 33-80 lead. After that, though, their offense got lost in the shuffle, and Long Island in the next few minutes scored 13 points while the cadets made none. A late scoring spree by Masterson, who was playing his final Cloud- buster game, went for naught. The George Washington-Pre- P’light game was another close one, neither team ever being ahead by more than five points. With five minutes to go the Cloudbusters were ahead, 41-40, but Gustafson of the visitors scored two in quick succession to give the Colonials a lead they never lost. The loss through graduation of Walter Hoffman, Bob Masterson, and Howard McWilliams forced Coach Raese to start three new men for the locals in the George Washington tilt. McMennamin, Caldwell and Jones were the new comers who started along with Kraft and Broberg. As usual, Broberg was high man with 14 points, followed by Caldwell with 12. Next home game on the Cloud- buster schedule is Monday after noon when North Carolina State comes to Chapel Hill for a game with the cadets. Always boasting a good team, the game should be one of the better attractions of the home season. Wrestling Pre-Flighters Lose Wrestling Match At Naval Academy One of the best wrestling teams in the Naval Academy’s history defeated the Chapel Hill Pre- P'lighters, 25 to 11, last Saturday afternoon at Annapolis, Md. The outcome of the match was never in doubt as the Annapolis squad got off to a fast start to cap ture the first two matches, but considering that the Pre-Flighters bad but two wrestlers on their team with previous experience in college competition they made a fine showing. Charles Swift, heavyweight, sparked the Navy squad, winning over Pre-Flight’s J. G. Williams with a fall of 3:37. R. B. Kitt, Navy’s 145-pounder, also turned in a good match, throwing his op ponent, W. H. Staton, in 3:39. The summary: 121—M. W. MacDonald (Navy) over C. B. Armstrong, fall, 1:30. 128—C. L. Joslin, Jr., (Navy) over N. Ozog, fall, 4:52. 136—C. A. Dorn (Pre-Flight), decision over J. W. Foust. 145—R. B. Kitt (Navy) over W. H. Staton, fall, 3:39. 155—S. F. Mordecai (Pre- Flight) over J.
