To start the second half Ervin Hendricks, Coast Guard forward, connected on a long one to make the score 29 to 24. That was as close as the visitors came to over taking the Pre-Flighters as Whitey Myers, Tippy Dye, and Palmer came through with two field goals apiece in rapid succes sion.

RAESE (Continued from page three) News of Coach Raese’s coaching record reached his alma mater, and he returned there in 1938 as head basketball coach. A record of 64 wins and 28 losses was made dur ing the four years he coached bas ketball at West Virginia. The 1942 season was the most successful with 21 wins and three losses. Successful basketball teams are usually composed of players from all over the nation, but Raese’s great West Virginia team was composed almost entirely of West Virginia boys, most of whom came from towns with a population of less than 5,000. Two years ago West Virginia sportswriters voted Raese the coach of the year in West Virginia. Biggest reason for this honor was the showing of the West Virginia University basketball team in the Garden. Seeded eighth it was giv en little chance of getting by top seeded Long Island University in the first round. Long Island, how ever, was soundly thrashed as was second seeded Toledo the follow ing night. The only close game of the tournament was against Ken tucky in the final round.

(More sketches on other play ers will appear in future issues of the CLOUDBUSTER.) POST OFFICE (Continued from page one) A glance at a few statistics on the mail load during the past 10 days will give you some ideaj of the amount of work done. A total of 8,000 packages were mailed from this station, while the incoming number totaled around 15,000. With a station complement of a little more than 2,000, it means that each officei’, cadet, and enlisted man mailed an average of over three packages, and received an average of more than six. The cash in the stamp drawer increased slightly during the period, with approximately $1,500 worth of stamps passing through the window. Added to this is a very conservative estimate of $10,000 in money orders being sold. Each day saw three deliveries of mail arrive, and while normally the mail is put in the different boxes by 0900, 1200, and 1700, it was, quite often, as much as two hours late in being delivered be cause of the heavy volume. To top all these figures and give you a better idea of the amount of work handled, Gene Strowd, CSP (M), USNR, point ed out to the Cloudbuster that between 1000 and 1200 bags of mail were received during the past 10 days. Other than Chief Strowd, four mail specialists and one civil serv ice employee are attached to the post office. They include W. F- Pendergraft, Splc (M); Alan Ab ner Barker, Sp2c (M); Ralph Bau- thues, Sp3c (M); Richard Ward, SpBc (M); and Edgar Drinkgern, Sp3c (M). The civil service em ployee is Miss Carolyn Hurley.

Navy Hall has been decorated for the holiday season, and re freshments will be on hand there for the cadets and visitors Christ mas Eve and Christmas Day. Navy War Bond Sales 15 December 1943 From: SecNav To: AlNav War Bond sales on 7 December totaled $22,232,518, exceed ing the original goal of $15,000,000 and representing 300% of sales on Pearl Harbor Day 1942.
