Page Four CLOUDBUSTER — SPORTS Friday, March 16, 1945 66th Batt Noses Out 67th In Hot Regimental Race Although it copped only one first place and tied for another, Lt. Gene Bankston’s 66th Batt amassed enough total points— 299—to nose out the rest of the field during the past fortnight in one of the closest regimental competitions ever held here. Lt. W. B. Porterfield’s 67th Batt taking firsts in Academics and in the Sports Program, pressed the winning battalion all the way in amassing a total of 293 Vt. , just five and one-half points shy of the top. The 66th placed first in Class Athletics and finished in a dead heat for first with Lt. Charles Robinson’s 64th in Military. The Sports Program competi tion was dominated by the 67th which topped the other battal ions in swimming, wrestling, basketball, and gym and tum bling, and finished second to the 66th in boxing and second to the French Unit in soccer. The French Unit totalled 45 points in the Sports Program with 30 in soccer, 10 in swim ming, and five in gym and tum bling.

Save Fuel—Save Paper- More Honors Are Heaped On Graham As He Is Chosen All-North Carolina Otto Graham, Pre-Flight cadet who became the first Cloudbus ter to make the All-America Service football eleven, won all- star honors on the court also during the 1944-45 season. The former Northwestern ath lete, now undergoing primary training at Glenview, was se lected by the Greensboro Daily News as center of a mythical All-North Carolina team. With Graham on the team was Jack Maddox of Camp Lejeune, Spence Van Ess of ORD Hdqts., Oran McKinney of Cherry Point and Horace (Bones) McKinney of Fort Bragg. Two other Cloudbusters, Bob Mehl and Tippy Dye, were given honorable mention. The Camp Lejeune Marines, who were rated one of the top teams in North Carolina, also chose Graham on their all-op' ponents team. FOR ST. PATRICK’S DAY—Al though minus the symbols of Erin —snakes, four-leaf clovers, harps, shillalah, etc.—Sheila Ryan, minus nothing else, helps in the observation of the traditional holiday pin-up. Miss Ryan, who is one of War ner Brother’s younger actresses, is rated as a coming star out Hollywood way. If ability to fill a bathing suit is a factor, the lady can’t miss. m
