Page Pour CLOUDBUSTER Saturday, December 2, 1944 An Indian in Santa Fe, N. M., is doing a land office business in this tobacco-less town. His mer chandise: cigarets made from corn silk. ’Busters Tackle Greenville Air Base To Start Hardwood Season With Greenville Air Base as the foe, the curtain rises on the Cloudbusters’ 1944-45 basket ball season at 1930 in Woollen Gym nasium. Little is known of the visitors, except that for the last two years they have been among the best service quints, but Pre-Flight also is an unknown quality. Lieut. R. A. Raese, easy-going^ West Virginian who coached the Cloudbusters as they won 17 of 20 games last season, is optimis tic. “They don’t have the experi ence of Palmer, Skaug, Myers, Elser and others of a year ago,” he admits, “but they make up for it with fight and determination.” Lieut. Raese, however, doubts if the 1943-44 record will be matched. Dye Captains Quint A pair of cadets from Indiana’s fertile courts are expected to lead the Cloudbusters in scoring. One is Bob Mehl, forward from Indianapolis; the other is Ed Leakey, guard from Andrews. Both are good set shots and are the tallest members of the squad. At the other forward post will be W. D. Meador of Patoka, 111., a good passer and fair shot, and pairing with Leakey at guard will be the veteran Tippy Dye, team captain. Only holdover. Dye is a great defensive player and will do much to steady the younger play ers. J. R. Tobias has the inside track at center. Leading reserves include Meserve and Clann. Two other games are scheduled next week, the Busters traveling to Camp Butner on Thursday and entertaining Cherry Point at Woollen next Saturday. The Ma rines were one of the three quints to defeat Pre-Flight last season. (J Cr Reprihted from the December issue of Esquire. ^—‘ 'When I get home Pm going to sue Holtywood for misrepresentation*’ Five of the boys were rolling the bones in a back room in Philadelphia when 4 bandits en tered, lined the players against the walls, scooped up a “pot” of $2,052 and escaped. Because passengers have been complaining, the City Utilities Department has ordered 350 street car conductors in San Francisco to take courses in cour tesy. Trojans, Vols Only Unbeaten Elevens To Play In Four Major New Year Tilts Only two teams in the four major New Year’s Day bowl games will be unbeaten and these —Southern California and Ten nessee—will meet in the Rose Bowl. The Trojans, however, are twice tied; Vols once. Tennessee received the bid when Ohio State, linked with Army and Navy as the “Big Three” among the colleges, was forced to refuse because of policy. Duke, beaten four times, will play once-whipped, twice-tied Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. In the Cotton Bowl T.C.U,, beaten and tied once, will tackle once defeated Oklahoma A. & M. The Orange Bowl committee was jolted last week when, after inviting Georgia Tech, rebound ing Notre Dame socked the En gineers, 21-0. Tech still has Geor gia to play today. Tulsa is the other Orange Bowl team. Arrested on a downtown street in Denver while wearing a bird cage over his face, a 62-year-old local eccentric had a ready ex planation. “I’m a child of im pulse,” he contended. Rookie Leaves Sarge To Finish His Watch Camp Wolter, Tex.—“Halt,” the rookie shouted as a first sergeant approached his guard post. Then there was a long pause. He couldn’t remember what to say next. “Who’s there?” the helpful sergeant prompted. “Friend,” the rookie said. “Advance, friend, and be rec ognized,” the sergeant said. The private advanced. “Recognized,” the sergeant said, still prompting. “Pro ceed.” The private walked off the post and back to his barracks. The Wolf Sports Watch Navy’s fast, rugged football force, sometimes great and some times disappointing, can do an idle Ohio State eleven a favor this afternoon in Baltimore, The' Middies could well make the^ Buckeyes clear-cut national cham-'^ pions. I ■< ’tic 'U; 'ei by Sansone His sir! will b« tlong 4M\y minuttl Army is the No. 1 team as it^ moves into the big game with*/ Navy. Unbeaten, untied and witbl, an offense that has accounted for 481 points, the Cadets rank OhiOp State and twice-beaten Navy. ^ But a defeat today doubtless would change the ratings to theK Buckeyes, Middies and Army, in,® that order. Probably never in the long, riche^ history of Army-Navy football^l have the two academies reachedj*^ their prime objective with such juggernauts. Army is established^ as a power but in appraising the’,lj West Pointers it’s something like^i asking, “How high is up?” In*^^ other words, how mighty iSr Army? Cadets Never Extended None of the Cadets’ opponents^ .—North Carolina, Brown, Pitt, Coast Guard Academy, Duke, ] Villanova, Penn and even Notre lr( Dame — was able to offer more than a gallant stand. Many ob'^^^ servers feel that not until thejjj Navy battle is finished will Army if be fully tested. Navy’s team is like the fabled little girl with a curl. When NavyJ^® is good, it is very good. When j Navy is bad, it is horrible. TheJvi] speed, power and manpower isNl present, as Notre Dame, Purdue and Cornell will attest, but)^,j|. against North Carolina Pre-^Sr Flight and, particularly, Georgia Tech, it was wasted. ® Even without Bob Jenkins ivqj Navy could win but Army will^o _ be the favorite and not neces-^^>i s a r i 1 y because of superior strength. From this corner looks as if Army will have to out-;. general the Middies because if they are charging the odds are ^ that no team will overpower them. Of t —- : be Army’s football teams, since U,’> 1890, liave won 309 games, lost ^ 115 and tied 32. Against Navy^®^ the Cadets have won 22, lost tied 3. \ In Fort Worth, Texas, robbers entered the Helpy-Selfy Grocery Store, obligingly helped them-tof selves to the contents of the safe* ^ot
