Cloudbusters Defeat N. C. State To End Season With .500 Average Coach Dyke Raese’s Cloudbust ers ended their season at Raleigh last Saturday night defeating N. C. State, 57 to 54, after two over time periods. The victory gave the cadet quintet a record of seven wins against a like number of de feats for the season. The N. C. State-Pre-Flight con test was tied at the end of the regulation time 50-50, and at the end of the first extra period it was tied up at 52-alI. State led at the half 23-21. A long one-handed shot from the side by Cadet Davis, a relief guard, put the Pre-Flighters ahead after two minutes, 45 seconds of the sec ond overtime period. Fifteen sec onds later Davis dropped in another one-hander, and then Ber- nie Mock hit for State to cut the score to 56-54 with a minute and eight seconds remaining. Gunning, Brown and Hamscher led the Pre-Flight scoring with 13, 11 and 10 points respectively. Ber- nie Mock, with 14, led the losers while Johns, a forward, had 11.

Losses came at the hands of Ap palachian, Duke, Long Island, George Washington, Norfolk Air Station, Penn State, and Duquesne. The most points made by a Cloudbuster in a single game were 31 against N. C. State in the game played here. Captain Gus Broberg did the scoring. The team, although always in teresting to watch, was an in-and- out club. Coach Dyke Raese didn’t know from one week to the next who would compose the squad, and as cadets came aboard and left the calibre of the team was continually changed.

Under the direction of Lieut. Charles C. Bream, Jr., sports pro gram head, the track carnival will be the first of its kind to be held here since the Pre-Flight school was commissioned last May.

Points will be credited to the various squadrons as usual, and the one with the highest total will be granted the Liberty Award next Saturday night.
