Breaks Record
Cadets in the last 38 battalions
couldn’t do it, but Cadet A. H. Kirk,
above, 41-1-2, recently broke the
indoor pool record in 55 feet under
water swim with time of 9.3 sec
onds.
The old record of 9.9 was held
jointly by Cadets W. F. Dugan of
the first battalion and H. Lutz of
the third. Degan was a Helldiver,
while Lutr was a Buffalo.
Coached by Ensign H. E. Hick
man, USNR, Cadet Kirk is a mem
ber of the Kingfisher Squadron.
He hails from Pittsburgh, Penn
sylvania, but did not participate in
the tank sport in high school. He
did not attend college.
Leading Scorers
Not including last night’s game
with VPI, which was played too
late for today’s Cloudbuster, Bud
Palmer, Whitey Myers and Stan
Skaug pace the Pre-Flight scoring.
Palmer sets the pace with 205
points in 12 games; Myers has 180,
and Skaug 89.
Paratroopers Lose
By 66 to 25 Score
Midway the first period the
517th Paratroopers from Camp
Mackall were leading the Cloud-
busters, 7 to 6, but the Raesemen
turned on the steam at this point to
register their 12th straight victory
of the season by an easy 66 to 25
score here Tuesday night.
Whitey Myers set the scoring
pace with 16 points, while Palmer
had 14, Skaug 10, Dye 8, and Elser
6
After Palmer sunk one from
under the basket to give the Pre-
Flighters 8 to 7 lead, the Cloud-
busters scored 15 points before
Camp Mackall registered again.
After intermission it was much
the same, as the Cloudbusters
registered 16 points before Hauer
made good on a foul shot for the
Paratrooper lone score over the
same period.
Cadets Enjoy Visit
There is no question but that the
cadets on the basketball squad who
made the trip to the Naval Acad
emy last Saturday thoroughly en
joyed their visit. Besides partici
pating in a fast and hard-fought
game, they had the opportunity to
see the grounds of the Naval Acad
emy and observe the Midshipmen
at work and at leisure. The Mid
shipmen outdid themselves in
showing every courtesy to their
comrades in Cadet Blue.
The officers of the basketball
coaching staff and the cadets par
ticularly noted and were impressed
by the sportsmanship shown by the
Navy team and the spectators at
the game. In true Navy tradition,
there was no booing of referees’
decisions or cheering for penalties.
And the Cloudbuster team was
roundly cheered by the Midship
men for their splendid perform
ance.
