Cadet Robert Kinard, 39-1-3
' - Cadet Stanley Skaug, captain of
last year’s great Dartmouth bas-
iketball team, and first string
^uard on the new Cloudbuster
Quintet, is at home in many sports,
and proficient in more than a few.
Stan first played competitive
basketball while in his first year
high school at Clarkfield, Min
nesota in 1935, It is easy to be-
,^ieve that his effort was good, be-
.cause in his four years of compe
tition at Clarkfield he earned four
letters.
Basketball kept Cadet Skaug
busy during the winter evenings
those years, but late summer
!^nd fall found him hard at work on
the gridiron. Stan received three
pootball letters for his vigorous
jplaying. Sand lot ball, farming,
pnd sailing comet class boats, oc-
j^’^pied the spring and summer of
jSkaug’s well-rounded sports year.
I After completing high school,
j^tan was effectively persuaded to
jSo to Dartmouth, and later into
jttie V-5 program, by his good
j.^iend, Chuck Pearson, now a fly-
Ensign in the U. S. Navy,
^^et Skaug centered his college
®Ports activities on basketball, and
Under the expert coaching of Ozzie
f>wles, he earned three basketball
: otters and the captaincy of Dart-
i^iouth’s 1942 team. (Coach Cowles
j^vho also trained our 1942 Cloud-
j^uster Quintet captain, Gus Bro-
is now Lt. Cowles, Resident
‘^aval Officer at one of our War
j Gaining Schools.) This spring
j adet Skaug was honored by the
!'loaches of the" Ivy League with
|!^®^bership on the All Eastern
I ^ter-Collegiate Basketball Team.
College finished, and a B.A. de-
jS^’ee under his arm, Stan enlisted
April of this year, and
jp^’^ted his pre-flight training at
I ,®^Sate in May. Cadet Skaug says
L at WTS he was a fair pilot,
K ^ his roommates claim he is a
I pilot, and much too modest.

Cloudbusters Hand
Duke’s Blue Devils
58 to S9 Setback
An underdog Cloudbuster bas
ketball team handed Duke Uni
versity one of its worst defeats in
several years here Wednesday af
ternoon by a score of 58 to 39.
Tonight at 1930 Emery and
Henry College comes here for a
game with the Cloudbusters sched
uled for Woollen Gymnasium. The
same five who started the Duke
contest are expected to be in the
starting Pre-Flight lineup.
The 2,000 fans, mostly Naval
personnel, who witnessed the Duke
defeat saw the finest team ever to
take the floor in a Pre-Flight uni
form. After the lead changed
hands several times in the first 15
minutes of play, the Pre-Flighters
took charge, grabbed a. 28 22
halftime advantage, and really
turned on the “steam” in the sec
ond half.
Lieut. R. A. Raese, head coach,
started Stanley Skaug and Bob
Myers at the forwards, John Pal
mer at center, and Don Elser and
Albert Simpson at the guards.
These five, along with the help of
Tippy Dye, turned in exceptional
performances both on offense and
defense.
There were no individual stars,
and typical of the afternoon’s
play were the 10 points scored by
the Pre-Flighters with three min
utes remaining in the first half.
Each of the five men in the lineup
at that time—Simpson, Myers,
Palmer, Dye, and Elser—con
tributed one goal.
Scoring for the winners was
divided between Palmer, ex-
Princeton ace and leading Ivy
League scorer, and Don Elser of
Notre Dame and Tippy Dye of
Ohio State. The former scored 15
points, while Elser and Dye con
tributed 10 each.
In two games played here last
week end the Cloudbusters broke
even, losing to the Cherry Point
Marines, 44 to 43, and defeating
the Columbia Air Base, 43 to 24.
For the Marines, Mosser led the
scoring with nine field goals and
six foul shots giving him a 24-
point total. Bob Rose, a former
University of North Carolina bas
ketball captain and now player-
coach of the Cherry Point team,
played outstanding defensive ball
besides contributing 14 points.
Stanley Skaug was best for the
losers with 16 points, all of the one
hand variety. The visitors led at
halftime, 19 to 18.
