Track Warmerdam At Navy-Du] Ensign Warmerdam BasebaU ‘Busters Meet State at Raleigh A1 Preudenheim will start on the mound for the Cloudbusters this afternoon at Raleigh as the Navy Pre-Flight nine opens its ra tion league schedule against North Carolina State. While Lieut. Don Kepler, head baseball coach, would not predict how the Cloudbusters would make out in the ration league — which includes the University of North Carolina, Duke and N. C. State— he did state Thursday afternoon that he was pleased with the prog ress the team has made. “We don’t have a lot of ball players on the club with previous college or professional experi ence,” Kepler commented, “but theyVe shown a lot of spirit, and I think they’ll do okay.” Always possessing one of the better baseball teams in North Carolina, N. C. State will prove a real test for the Cloudbusters. Moreover the boys from Raleigh will be out for their first athletic victory over the Cloudbusters. They lost to Pre-Plight in football, dropped two games each to the cadets and officers’ basketball teams. Already the Cloudbusters have played three games with Carolina, none of which was official and none of which went nine innings. Carolina won the first game, 4 to 1, the Cloudbusters won the sec ond, 3 to 2, and the last, which was played Tuesday afternoon, ended in a 7 to 7 tie. In that Carolina is the defending Southern Confer- See BASEBALL, page i to Perform e Meet Today > Ensign Cornelius Warmerdam, the world’s greatest pole vaulter who is taking his indoctrination here as a V-5 instructor, will lead the U. S. Navy Pre-Plight track team against Duke University this afternoon at Durham. It will mark Warmerdam’s first appearance since he set a new world’s record at Chicago two v/eeks ago. Since that time the “Plying Dutchman” has been scaling 15-ft. straight walls, 20-ft. cargo nets, and meeting other ath letic hazards in his training here, and just how his muscles will re act to the “all-around” training will be known by tonight. Other than Warmerdam, the Pre-Plighters have little to offer in the way of track stars. Duke, always one of the finer track teams in the Southern Conference, will be led by Moffat Storer and Bob Gantt. Storer, who runs the hurdles and the 100-yard dash, is one of the fastest stars in the country. Gantt is a weight man. Besides those who won the regi mental track and field events held here last week, four or five new comers will be wearing Navy colors. Among them are Thomas Craig, a graduate of the Univer sity of South Carolina; Leonard Barnum of West Virginia Wes leyan ; Ray Alee of San Prancisco State, and Mark Panther of the University of Iowa. Craig throws the discus, Bar num and Panther the javelin and Alee the shot. All were stars in college, but since graduating have had little time to practice. How ever, should they come anyways close to the records they made in college, the Pre-Plighters will be strong in these events. Winners of the track and; field jamboree who expect to take part are T, A. Golden in the 70-yd. high hurdles, J. R. Voshell in the 80- yd. low hurdles, C. A. Charlet in the 440, J. J. Kissell in the mile run, G. E. Goldman in the 100-yd dash, H. G. Richmond in the 880, D. P. Turk in the discus, W. M. Hamscher in the shot, W. P. Bates and A. W. Clark in the broad jump, and C. J. Chapman in the high jump.
