did the clowning. The latter, be
sides being very humorous, per-
fornied some very difficult tricks
on the trampoline.
During the swimming and track
competition four records, one of
which was two years old, fell by
the wayside.
Cadet Remington of the 50th
broke two swimming records—^the
two widths underwater with a new
time of :19.1, and three widths
back in the record time of :35.2.
The two year old record which
was broken was the three-fourth
mile run in track. Cadet M. F.
Caetano of the 50th Battalion, who
has been a nuisance in the record
•breaking department since report
ing here, turned the trick with the
time of 3:20. The old record of
3:20.7 was held by Cadet J. M.
Hart, a Helldiver of the second
battalion. The other track record
broken was on the obstacle course
when Cadet J. C. Boyer of the
50th bettered Cadet P. L. Straley’s
old record. The new time was

Tech-Hawks Score
11 To 8 Victory
Over Pre-Flighters
Everything the Pre-Flighters
did in the War-Bond game at Bur
lington Wednesday'afternoon was
right—that is everything but score
more runs than the opposition,
Tech-Hawk from Greensboro.
The final score was 11 to 8 in
favor of the soldiers, but the Pre-
Flighters hit the ball hard and
played errorless ball in the field.
True, there was a lapse in pitch
ing on a couple of occasions, but
Coach Killinger thought the
team’s performance on the whole
Was a commendable one.
The game was one which saw
a lot of scoring divided out over
the entire game. With the excep
tion of the fourth frame one club
scored in every inning.
And it was also a game of home
runs. Bob Kellogg socked one for
the Pre-Flighters and Paul Gaulin
had two to his credit for the after
noon. For the soldiers it was Taft
Wright, the former Chicago White
Sox slugger, who set the pace with
a home run, two doubles and two
singles in five trips to the plate.
Grady Hatton and Charlie Trippi,
a couple of other soldiers, also hit
for the circuit.
