Page Four CLOUDBUSTER Saturday, May 8, 1943 Lexington Holds Lead in Pre-Flight Softball League The Lexington officers’ team maintained its unblemished rec ord and strengthened its grip on first place in the Pre-Flight soft ball league by slugging out a 10 to 5 victory over the Enterprise last Wednesday afternoon. It was the third straight triumph for the Lexington, against no defeats. Tied for second place after Wednesday’s games are the Cow- pens which smothered the Satel lites, 13 to 1, the Essex which overwhelmed the Saratoga, 13 to 2, and the Ranger which coasted to a 7-1 victory over the Hospital Corps. As the league enters its fourth week of play next Wednesday, the Lexington risks its unbeaten rec ord in a tilt with the Ranger. The other games will be Enterprise vs. Essex; Saratoga vs. Cowpens; and the Satellites vs. Hospital Corps. The present standings: W L Pet.

In the center is Lieut. Alfred Wolff, USNR, Head Boxing Coach. Sport Slants,. Eastern sports writers voted just about as expected in the re cent poll to determine which 10 sports are considered by the scribes as best for physical con ditioning purposes. Emphasis in the balloting was on bodily con tact and highly competitive sports, which are now in the naval avia tion physical fitness program. However, there were a few nom inations more than mildly surpris ing, such as chess and checkers, suggested by one sports writer “for relaxation and thought and concentration.” “Too many battles,” he said, “are lost by tenseness and lack of planning for the emergency.” Ping pong was supported by one scribe for “developing eyes and quick reactions.” Fencing, archery and darts re ceived mention as good for “teach ing boys the feel of objects of various degrees of weight and developing perfection in coordinat ing eyes, muscles, nerves and brain waves.” Even the bloody “sport” of bull fighting drew a vote, though the writer did not support this selec tion with reasons. Origin of Binnacle List Because of the ancient practice of posting the sick list at or near the binnacle—the stand for the ship’s compass—^where the officer of the deck could easily see it, “sick-lists” are now referred to as “binnacle lists.” PROMOTIONS (Continued from page one) security officer, and C.

Cloudbuster congratulations to all! Ration League Standings W L Pet. Carolina 8 1 .899 Duke 6 4 .600 Pre-Flight 3 6 .333 State 2 8 .200 BASEBALL (Continued from page one) The pitching should be well taken care of. Cadets Sain of tlie Braves and Coleman of the A^>- letics were among the better young prospects in the majors during the past two seasons. Then too, there is the aforementioned Lt. (jg) Appleton. Present standings have the Cloudbusters in third place in the Ration League, a position which they cannot improve. Only three games remain to be played, two with Carolina and one with North Carolina State. Last week’s play saw the locals drop three games in as many starts. Against the University of Virginia loose fielding and medio cre pitching gave the visitors a 13 to 5 victory. The loss was the worst suffered by the Cloudbust- ers all season. Virginia scored three runs in the first, but the ’Busters came back with two in the same frame. Virginia scored another in the third, but Navy went ahead in that inning with a three-run rally. But the visitors | went ahead again by getting two' runs in the fourth and the Pre-l Flighters failed to score for the; rest of the way. Virginia collected 13 hits off of W. H. Simms and John Brosang, Cloudbuster pitch ers. Virginia’s Latchum held the locals to six hits, none of which were for extra bases. In their other two encounters the Cloudbusters were defeated twice by Duke, 9 to 2, and 10 to 1- Cadet Ivan Flesser started botli games and was charged with the losses. In both contests the win ners scored in the early innings and held their lead throughout. Next weekend the Cloudbusters go to Norfolk where on Saturday they play the Naval Training Station and on Sunday the Naval Air Station. Master Mason Degree The Master Mason Degree will be conferred on Crisp W. Petti' grew, Jr., PhM3c, at a meeting University Lodge 408 Monday evening at 2000 in the Masonic Temple located on the corner Franklin and Church Streets. All Master Masons are invited.
