Page Four CLOUDBUSTER Saturday, April 29, 1944 Camp Butner Plays Cloudbusters Here HAMILTON (Continued from page one) ilton was designated to perform liaison duties between the Pre- Flight organization and the uni versities where the Pre-Flight Schools were to be located. He was sent on a survey trip with Captain 0. O. Kessing, USN, and Captain V. C. Webb, USNR, to each of the Pre-Flight Schools for the.purpose of foreseeing the varied problems bound to arise when a Pre-Flight school should be superimposed on the campus of a peacetime univer sity. The present curriculum fol lowed by the Pre-Flight Schools reflects in some measure his valu able experiences at Ohio State, for he assisted in outlining several of the courses taught. Today, for example, men of the United States Navy all over the world can identify enemy craft in a split second out of the corner of the eye as a result of a recognition system developed originally for the Pre-Flight program. The new method, which is essen tially a system of muscular eye training to teach men to know a total object after only a flash view, was planned for the U. S. Navy Pre-Flight program by Lieut. Comdr. Hamilton. The detailed techniques were worked out in co operation with Lieut. Comdr. Hamilton by Dr. Samuel R. Ren- shaw, professor of experimental psychology at Ohio State. Lieut. Comdr. Hamilton is a graduate of Ohio State, class of j924. During his first year fol lowing graduation he worked on a real estate indexing project in Columbus, 0., and in the fall served as line football coach at Kenyon College, Gambier, 0. In 1925 he returned to Ohio State and was attached to the staff of the business department of the univer sity. In his spare time he studied law and was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1928. Also, he served as freshman line coach in football. After three years in the busi ness ofiice of the University, he was appointed Executive Secre tary of the College of Arts and Sciences, holding that position un til coming into the Navy. Lieut. Comdr. Hamilton mar ried a college classmate in 1928. He and Mrs. Hamilton have four children: Ardis Mary, 15; Richard North, 12, and Barbara and Betty, twins, aged 9. —Coming Up— Today at 1500: Pre-Flight vs. Camp Butner in baseball on Emerson Field.

COYEY (Continued from page two) the targets are too small. How- fcver, we heard from a highly con fidential source that the real rea son was due to failure on our part to line up those sights and SQUEEZE. After receiving our sad and glad news, we then had the opportunity of watching Sgt. Boyd dismantle and put together a Browning ma chine gun, Cal. .30. Then, since we had been attentive if nothing else, he let us each fire a few bursts with the murderous thing. Although we weren’t shooting at a target, those of us watching the clay bank crumble to pieces before our eyes have gained a new re spect for our buddies who are sent out to silence them on the battle- fronts. After that we all watched Sgt. Cruz demonstrate the various positions used in firing a rifle and then proceeded to use each position and fire five rounds from the same. Next year we can all go out and shoot again, but the majority of us will be in places where quali fication is a must and nothing less than expert will give us another chance. So, in closing out this de scription of one of the grandest experiences IVe ever had, I want to thank Warrant Officer Wirkus, Marine Sgts. Cruz, Boyd, Spanos, Buckeley, Reese, and Both for my self and on behalf of my class mates for the attention, instruc tion, and help you’ve given us all. Someday we’ll teach you how to swab decks, EXPERTLY! Crew to Have Party Tonight All enlisted personnel are in vited to the Crew Party planned for this evening in the field house located on the upper soccer field. Fried chicken will be served at 1900 to be followed by dancing to music of the Pre-Flight swing band until 2400. TRACK After winning two straight games in Ration League competition over the past week, the U. S. Navy Pre-Flight Cloudbusters will tackle Camp Butner here this afternoon at 1500. Last Saturday’s victory over Carolina came as the biggest surprise of the week and established the Cloudbusters as a definite threat for the Ration League crown. The Tar Heels were favored to win. They ■❖had defeated N. C. State, 24 to 1, in their other Ration League start. The Cloudbusters, however, thought otherwise, and the score was 6 to 1 in favor of the future Navy fliers. Cadet J. A. Farley handled the pitching duties for the Pre-Flight- ers. He allowed but five hits, and would have had a shutout except for Hoey’s triple in the second inn ing. Four mins in the third Inning iced the game for the Navy nine. Falk was the Pre-Flight’s big gun with a home run and double to ac count for most of the Navy scor ing. The N. C. State game, which the Pre-Flighters won 8 to 4, caused the winners more trouble than the score indicates. State scored four runs in the second inn ing on singles by Lamb, Baker and Page. Pre-Flight first scored in the fifth on Barnes’ single and two long outfield flies which allowed runners on third to tag up and score. The margin of victory was pro vided by outfielder Jim Crampsey with an assist by Coach Glenn Kil- linger. Coach Killinger sent Crampsey into right field in the fifth inning to replace Newman, and the latter came through with a long triple to leftfield in the seventh that sent home both the tying and winning runs. Siegner started on the mound for the Cloudbusters but gave way to Burkewitz at the start of the fourth. The latter pitched one to (Continued from page three) Camp, P-F, second, and Duval, P-F, third.
