Page Four CLOUDBUSTER Saturday, December 4, 1943 ’Busters Meet Air Base Quintet Here Today GILBERTS (Continued from page two) the central Pacific. The direction and the enfergy of this campaign implements the pressure that is being brought to bear on Japan’s outer ling of defenses. It is in creasingly apparent, even to the foe, that Japan lacks the military resources to hold all the outposts gained in that mad scramble that followed Pearl Harbor. Our strategy of continuous pressure everywhere on the perimeter of Japanese domination is intended to hasten these withdrawals while prying the enemy loose from posi tions that he would like to retain. From Burma, through the south west Pacific, into the Gilberts, and up to the Aleutians the Allies have been mounting a continuous and increasingly furious attack. The Japanese have hardly time to lick the wounds suffered in the Solo mons when our Navy lashes out in the Gilberts. Lest they be tempted to reenforce their aviation strength in the Pacific islands, a smashing attack by American bombers on Formosa reminds the war lords that they must look to their home defenses. On the Burma front feverish al lied preparation for a renewed at tack forces the Japanese to allocate more men and material to that s rea. Even the war of nerves plays its part. A hint of praise for China in an official Russian news paper causes the forty-odd divi sions that hold Manchukuo to look to their weapons. It is not likely that the Japanese will collapse because of their in ability to hold these outposts. Yet ss they fall one by one more vital regions are opened to attack. Whether the loss of island outposts can entice the Japanese navy from its lair for a slugging match is very doubtful. The Japanese have been husbanding their naval strength in recent months, but not for a classic sea duel on the Nel son model.

LORD HALIFAX (Continued from page one) Lord Halifax has been in the Anierican limelight since coming to this country as British Am bassador in January, 1941, a'nd is commonly considered the most im portant diplomat in Washington. His arrival in America broke tradition when he was met by President Roosevelt in a ship near Annapolis.

CAROLINA COED (Continued from page ov^) coming at 2400. Free refresh ments will be served. Service dress blue, able, will be the uniform for the 36th Battalion, Carolina to Play Cherry Point In Second Game of Doubleheader By the time you read this the Cloudbuster basketball quintet will have played one game, that against the Cherry Point Marines here last night. And this afternoon another contest is on schedule with the opponent being the Columbia Air Base and the starting time being 1430. The Cloudbusters under the direction of head coach, Lieut. R. A. <S>Raese, USNR, have been working out for the past three weeks. At Brown Wallet Lost A brown leather wallet belong ing to Lieut, (jg), Walter R. Brownback, USNR, was lost in the vicinity of Emerson Stadium between 1030 and 1130 on Friday, Nov. 26. It contained nothing of monetary value but a number of identification and membership cards. Anyone finding it is re quested to turn it in to the Officer of the Day in Alexander Hall. while the remainder of the regi ment will wear greens. Mustangs Best in Track WINNERS of the Regimental Track Meet two weeks ago, the Mus tangs, pictured above, also won the track crown in fall competition. Their record of 9 victories in 11 starts gave them the top spot over the Helldivers who won 7, lost 3 and tied 1. Skyrockets Set Pace in Soccer THE LAST MONTH of the fall program saw soccer draw the lime light as several teams battled for top honors. Final winners, with a record of 16 wins, 4 losses and 2 ties, were the Skyrockets, pictured above. this writing the calibre of the team is still an unknown quantity. Expected to start at the for wards will be Tippy Dye, J. W. Smith or Simpson. Stanley Skaug, captain of Dartmouth’s great team of last year, will be at center, and Don Elser and Kenneth Laird are the starting guards. Something about the players: Dye attended Ohio State where he won three letters in football, basketball and baseball. In the hardwood sport he served as cap tain his senior year. Weighing only 140 pounds. Dye is unusually fast, and is especially adept in fak ing the opposition out of position. Smith starred at Seton Hall, while Simpson has also seen con siderable college action. Laird, who at one time was a member of the Oshkosh All-Stars, is one of the starting guards. He attended Lawrence College and Columbia University. A very good ball handler, his experience is ex pected to aid the team a great deal. The other guard—Don Elser, ex-Notre Dame—is the most ag- gi’essive player on the squad. Other than the game this after noon, two other games are on schedule during the coming week. Wednesday afternoon Duke Uni versity's Blue Devils will come here for a game starting at 1600, while next Saturday at 1900 Emery and Henry College will furnish the opposition. The Duke quintet is rated as one of the top teams in the nation; Blue Devil teams have been the “best in the Southern Conference” for the past two seasons. Cadets Invited Sunday afternoon between 1600 and 1700 a Community Sing will be held in the lounge of GrahaH' Memorial. Old songs as well aS more popular ones will be sung) and all cadets are especially in- vited to attend. The sing is being sponsored by the recreation com' mittee of the YM-YWCA on the University campus.
