Page Four CLOUDBU STER Saturday, March 27, 1943 Youthful Veterans of Sea and IVar Now Training Here as Aviation Cadets Young veterans of the war, as well as of the sea, are 20-year-olds Walter E. Tobin (left), and Chester M. Lupushansky, 20th Battalion cadets from Newton, Mass., and Cleveland, O. Both were in military service before Pearl Harbor, both have trav eled ’round the world, both have been in historic battles with the Japs, and now each is seeking wings to carry the fight back to the enemy. Tobin enlisted in the Navy in*® 1939 as an apprentice seaman and worked up to SKlc when he en tered the V-5 program. Cruises have taken him more than 200,000 miles, and the points touched read like the table of contents in a world Atlas—Capetown, Bombay, Singa pore, Batavia, Ceylon, Arabia, Suez, Australia, New Zealand, and Liverpool, just to mention a few. He was going into Capetown when war came. His ship was bombed in the Sundra Straits, be tween Borneo and Java, but per haps his greatest excitement came at Singapore just before its fall in late January, 1942. There, while the Japs attacked, Tobin aided in loading refugee civilians aboard ship for transportation to Ceylon Several days later the city fell. Tobin was commended by his skipper for service under fire. A Marine since early 1941, Lu pushansky has traveled more than 40,000 miles during service as a first class gun trainer aboard one of the newer type battleships. His ship accounted for 32 Jap planes during battle with the Jap fleet at Santa Cruz last October the same action in which the air craft carrier Hornet was lost. His most exciting action came in the great sea'-air battle off Guadal canal in mid-November. Cadet Leaves Game, But No Name Thanks are due to the 16th Bat talion cadet who contributed a combination game set of checkers, chess, dominoes and backgammon to the recration equipment in Navy Hall before leaving for primary flight training last Wednesday. The cadet who left the game did not leave his name. Dance Scheduled April 3 The next dance for the regiment of cadets is scheduled for Satur day, April 3, in Woollen gym nasium. V-5 OFFICERS (Continued from page one) sign William Turnesa, National Amateur Golf champion of 1938. From out of the west come Lieut. Owen Cochran, Kansas State bas ketball coach; Lieut. Oliver Nord- ly, Iowa State hardwood mentor; Lieut. Cecil Hartman, football and baseball coach at the University of Omaha; Lieut. Francis Kim brough, Baylor University pigskin coach, and Ens. Hilman Walker, Arizona State College football coach. Among the teachers included in the group are four former civilian ground school instructors in the Pre-Flight program—three from Chapel Hill and one from Iowa City—who recently received Navy commissions. The ground school instructors from the local Pre-Flight School now being indoctrinated as officers are Lieut, (jg) John 0. Reynolds, Lieut, (jg) Edward A. Cameron, and Lieut, (jg) James G, Wall. The former civilian instructor from the Iowa Pre-Flight School is Ensign Armin E. Graber. Lieut. William C. Clark, USNR, aide to the executive officer, is in charge of the V-5 instructor course. TRACK MILLER (Continued from page three) don’t make the grade as good pilots. “Other phases of the armed forces are doing the same thing to a degree,” Miller continues. “Why even the Axis realizes the importance of good fighters being good swimmers. Only last week a report was made to the OWI of a radio broadcast from Tokyo which stated that the Japanese govern ment has announced that all sol diers would be taught to swim. The statement was made two weeks after the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, in which 15,000 Japanese soldiers perished.” Coach Miller and Ensign Fick are getting a kick out of training cadets to take care of themselves against the Axis. Fick has been on numerous Olympic and good will teams, and Miller has served in various coaching capacities. Miller smiles when he mentions the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. “That year,” he says, “the United States scored 740 points while the entire Axis combination of Italy, Japan and Germany collected but 573. To me, that’s a pretty good indication of how this war is going to turn out. Moreover, the same Japanese (Continued from page three) fifth; and E. A. Coppejans, Buccaneer, sixth. SHOT PUT: W. M.

HASSETT (Continued from page three) the world series to Cardinals will be an added incentive for them to come back strong. The law of av erages caught up with them last year, “The Yankees won’t be the same ball club without Lefty ‘Goofy’ Gomez,” Hassett replied when asked about the much publicized Yankee left hander. “He was a great guy, and I know the Yan kees hated to part with him. At Boston you can bet your life that between Gomez and Manager Casey Stengel there’ll be some great clowning exhibitions, and don’t be surprised to see Gomez win some games if he once again gets his control.” Station Smoker Planned For Next Wednesday The next station Smoker will be held this coming Wednesday in Me morial Hall starting at 1915, it was announced Thursday by Lieut. Frank L. Gillespie, USNR, assist ant welfare and recreation officer. Cadet specialty numbers will be included in the program, along with music by the Pre-Flight band and several new songs by the glee club which is reported exceptional ly good at this point. Olympic swimmers who competed at Berlin and Los Angeles are now swimming coaches for the Japa nese army and navy.”
