Saturday, November 13, 1943 CLGupBUSTEE Page Three Sports Program The cream of the crop in the Sports Program. Upper left hand corner shows Cadets J. P. Arrigone of track fame, while the bot tom row, left to right, pictures Cadet R. J. Mascolino, football; Cadet S. A. Christman, soccer ; Cadet D. W. Holder, wrestling, and Cadet C. P. Long, boxing. Cadet T. J. Fallon, who holds the 50 meter backstroke record in the indoor pool, is in the upper right hand corner. f ( These Cadets are Tops in Squadron Sports The unsung heroes of the Pre- 5'light School-^those cadets who participate in Squadron Sports— 'vill, in the future, be featured as ^uch as possible in the Cloud- t*uster. The six cadets pictured above Jed the parade of squadron stars during the past week. More will in future issues. Swimming Take, for example, Cadet T. J. Gallon of 36-K-2. Last week he broke the 50 meters backstroke Record in the indoor pool with a ^ew mark of :39.7, some two sec onds better than the old one. A bit of instruction here from Lieut. John Miller, USNR, who charge of swimming, and other officers attached to that phase of ^re-Plight training, and Fallon up the new mark. He hopes to better his own record before he leaves Chapel Hill. Oddly enough the new back stroke champion hasn’t completed Swimming tests, but swimming oeing his favorite sport he isn’t Acting any difficulty. Fallon belongs to the Wildcat ^Quadron which has held the cellar position in the Sports Program standings from the beginning of the fall program. The record of five wins and three losses made by the Wildcat swimming team, though, is one of the best in the 12-team competition. From Rochester, N. Y., Cadet Fallon attended West High School where he was a member of the var sity swimming team. Boxing Cadet C. P. Long, 34-G-l, hasn’t had but one fight here, but he won that by a TKO in 10 seconds of the first round. This coming Thursday he’ll box again at the boxing pavilion, and he’s looking forward to it with the same plea sure the average person gets out of eating apple pie. He loves to box. Fighting at 163, it didn’t take Long but a few minutes to con vince Ensign C. D. Conrad, USNR, his boxing coach, that he was a good fighter. Before becoming a V-5 cadet he had participated in nine golden gloves fights, winning the championship at Binghamton, N. Y., and reaching the quarter finals at Syracuse. But Cadet Long hails firom neither of those places. He’s from Endicott, N. Y., and one of his former high school coaches is a platoon officer here—Lt. (jg) Charles B. Parkhurst, USNR. Other than boxing Long does okay by a piano. Recently he par ticipated at the keyboards at one of the Station Smokers. Football Cadet R. J. Mascolino, 35-1-3, had plenty to write home about last week. Playing right half for the Buf falo Squadron, he intercepted a* pass in the last five minutes of play and ran 60 yards for a touch down over the Buccaneers. The final score was 6 to 0. The victory was more than wel comed by the Buffalos who are coached by Lt. (jg) L. A. Guerry, USNR, and Ensign Stephen Grenda, USNR. Their record of three wins, one loss, and two ties place them in a good position to win top honors in football. Mascolino, who weighs 150 pounds, hails from Jersey City. That touchdown jaunt, he says, was one of the greatest thrills he’s ever experienced. Soccer The Inside Forward on the Sky rocket Soccer team is Cadet S. A. Christman, 36-K-3. And, in case you didn’t know, the Skyrockets are the Notre Dame of soccer as far as Squadron Sports are con cerned. From Windham, N. Y., Christ man attended Springfield College prior to becoming a V-5 cadet. He’s been a whiz in soccer here, scoring three goals in the Sky rocket game last week. Christman’s coach here is Lt, (jg) Victor Mare, USNR. At Springfield, Cadet Christman played soccer, but he admits the sport is rougher and more excit ing here. Wrestling Up through the ranks has come Cadet D. W. Holder, 34-G-3j and at the present time he’s the-best 151 pound wrestler on the base, . Coached here by Ensign Robert; Clark, USNR, Holder has. show rapid improvement. He had wrestled some in his high school, at Haverhill, Mass., but he’? learpi ed a lot since he’s been at Chapel Hill. : , See SPORTS PnOGRAM, .mae A
