Cross-Country
Team Defeats
Georgia, 18-45
Paced by Cadets Knox and Wil
son, who tied for first place, the
Cloudbuster cross-country team
defeated the Georgia Pre-Flight-
ers, 18 to 45, last Saturday.
Upsetting the .individual favor
ite, Smith of Georgia, Knox, who
starred at the University of Wis
consin, and Wilson ran their best
races of the year to cover the three
and five-eights mile course in the
good time of 19:29,0. Smith last
week defeated Gibson of Cherry
Point Marines who earlier in the
year beat both Knox and Wilson.
Following Smith were five Caro
lina Pre-Flighters, Place, Dyer,
Griffith, Buckley and Faust, in
that order. All turned in top per
formances.
Saturday’s meet with the Sky-
crackers brought the season rec
ord to five wins and a single loss.
Previous wins have been recorded
over the University of North
Carolina, Duke, University of
Virginia and the Cherry Point
Marines. The loss was to the un
defeated Naval Academy team,
considered the strongest cross
country team in the country.
This year’s squad, a worthy suc
cessor to last year’s unbeaten
team, started the season with only
three men with previous running
experiencce. These three Cadets
—Knox, Faust and Cunneen—
competed at Wisconsin, New York
Aggies and Cornell respectively.
The other members of the squad
have received all their training
since enlisting in the Naval Avia
tion Program. The tremendous
improvement on the part of Ca
dets Wilson, Clapsaddle, Place,
Dyer, Griffith and Buckley has
brought much praise from Lt. (jg)
Mark Panther and Lt. (jg) Char
les Beetham, both track coaches.

. Record Book, Maybe.
Setting a new all time high mark in battalion competition
by scoring a total of 1,244 points, the 58th Battalion easily
bettered the old mark of 970.5 which was held by the 51st.
In every type of competition—military, class athletics,
sports, and academics—the new champs were best for the two
weeks just completed. Their 418 point total was by far the
highest ever made during one period of competition.
Prior to this week, when the 58th won the competition for
the third straight time, no battalion had won the overall com
petition more than once during its stay here.
Take a look at the record. In military, academics and class
athletics they won first places and 275 points. In swimming
they defeated the 62nd, 58 to 21. Boxing saw them victorious
over the 61st, 8 to 1. In wrestling they defeated the 50th, 33
to 8, and in soccer an overtime game was dropped to the
60th, 1 to 0.
Only in football and track did they fail to make the finals.
The 59th defeated the 60th in football, 14 to 0, and track results
were not available when the Cloudbuster went to press.

ing record last year by register
ing 352 points for the season.
Other Cloudbuster standouts last
year included Whitey Myers of
Dartmouth who scored 322 points,
Tippy Dye of Ohio State who had
104, and Stan Skaug, also of Dart
mouth, who scored 99.
Over the season last year the
Pre-Flighters scored 1,119 points
as compared to 680 for the opposi
tion. The 82 point total against
Davidson College set a new game
high in the Cloudbuster record
book.
FOOTBALL
ited to seven men, several cadets,
notably Dufford, Sweet, Cunneen
and Osborn, forced the usual start
ers to peak performances and sev
eral times were able to displace
them in meets.
At present the squad is looking
ahead to November 11th when it
will meet the Georgia Pre-Flight
and Georgia Tech in a triangular
meet at Athens, In the meantime
additional meets are being ar
ranged.

own 26 to the Skycrackers’ 28,
where Koslowski fumbled and the
Georgians recovered to stop the
threat. The Skycrackers imme
diately went to work and, with
Stanczak directing, advanced to
the Carolina four only to lose the
ball on the six when Tom White
fumbled and W, E, Harding re
covered for the Busters.
For 59 minutes that is the way
it went. First the Cloudbusters,
then the Skycrackers. On the
march. It was the Cloudbusters
who gave the greatest goal line
performance, in fact, one of the
greatest of the year by any team,
Midway the third period Ted
Scruggs intercepted one of Gra
ham’s passes from behind his goal
and smashed up to the Carolina
two yard line. Three cracks at the
Cloudbuster line and pass failed,
and Koslowski kicked out to stop
the threat.
Late in the final period the
Cloudbusters drove deep into Sky-
cracker territory, the second oc
casion making the field goal pos
sible.

al War Fund here totalled $1,-
304, Lieut. William C. Clark,
