Page Four CLOUDBUSTER — SPORTS Friday, April 20, 1945 Track Squad Faces Virginia Tomorrow ’Busters Defeated By Strong Georgia PFS Team, 57-75 Beaten by a strong, well-bal anced Georgia Pre-Flight track team last week, 57 to 75, the Cloudbusters are hopeful of re turning to winning stride to morrow when they will enter tain the University of Virginia at Fetzer Field at 1315. Against the Skycrackers at Athens, Coach Charles Beet- ham’s team won seven of the 15 first places but Georgia was too strong in the field events and captured a majority of the second and third places. Previously Georgia Pre- Flight had defeated Georgia Tech, while the Cloudbusters had won handily over Duke. Daum Double Winner J. W. Daum of the 64th Batt was the high scorer for Caro lina Pre-Flight, winning the 120- yard high hurdles and the 220- yard low hurdles. C. S. Bacik of the 65th, consistent winner in his specialty, won the 440-yard dash; J. E. MacDonald took the discus, W. I. Francis triumphed in the two-mile run and J. A. McCoy was the broad jump win ner. The seventh first place cap tured by the Cloudbusters was the mile relay, with G. R. Pok- rant, W. J. Cunningham, E. R. Weipert, and J. F. Moore run ning in that order. As proof of their superiority in the field events, the Sky jackers won the shot put, high jump, pole vault and javelin, as well as the 100- and 220-yard dashes, the 880 and the mile. —Pay Homage— (Continued from page 1) salutes will be dispensed with in view of war conditions.” The Sailor President The late Chief Executive, whose love of the Navy was active and enduring, was indeed the Sailor President. He was equally at home on the quarterdeck of a battleship or aboard some small, humble craft, scudding before the wind and whitecaps. Deep sea fishing at some re mote spot—a Presidential Re view of the Fleet with the great guns booming—a dashing cruiser splitting the waves—loafing sea ward with the sand-and-rock- guarded lighthouses mere specks of haze upon the horizon—it was all the same to the Chief Execu tive to whom the sea was the pulsation of life.

He Was Hungry National League scuttlebutt is that Vince DiMaggio, recently traded by Pittsburgh to the Phillies, became persona non grata when he ate a $9 meal last July and charged same to the Pirates. “I was hungry,” Vince is quoted as saying. He made the U. S. Navy the world’s best. Champion of a big Navy he was, dating back to his pre-World War I days as As sistant Secretary of the Navy. He brought to his task an appre ciation of the traditions and his tory of the service. Prepared ness afloat was his keynote, long before others sensed its im portance in those years of World War I—and afterward. When nominated for the Presi dency at Chicago, Mr. Roose velt told the assembled delegates that he was “thankful for my Navy training.” For in great moments in the life of this man, the Navy sailed uppermost in his thoughts. Baker Top Hitter For Cloudbusters With .562 Average With nine hits in 16 trips to the plate for a .562 average. Catcher Bill Baker is far out in front as the leading hitter of the Cloudbusters, according to fig ures including the Cherry Point game on April 15. Second Baseman Frank Shaughnessy is second with a .375 mark. Players who have batted 10 or more times follow according to average: Ab. R. H. Av.

Three times so far the ’Busters have played league games and each time the op ponent, State, has won. Latest defeat for the Cloud busters was Wednesday’s 13- to-4 victory by the Red Terrors, who because of an early gradua tion will finish their campaign more than a month earlier than Pre-Flight, Duke and North Carolina. Thus the trio of games with the ’Busters, as well as a fourth straight engagement here next Wednesday. Lejeune Here Sunday Outside of the Ration League however, the Schulmerich nine is tasting varied competition- Tomorrow the ’Busters are scheduled to play Catawba Salisbury and on Sunday they will entertain the Camp Le- jeune Marines at Emerson Sta dium at 1500. The 13-to-4 win by State on Wednesday was the second loss for the ’Busters during the last week. On Sunday the Cherry Point Marines won, 12 to 5, de spite a homer with loaded bases by Catcher Bill Baker. This tied the score at 4-4 in the third in- ning but in the fifth the Marines easily pulled away. Again in the State game Pre- Flight was locked in a 4-4 tie until the Terrors’ half of the fourth, when State rang up fiy® runs. Another quartet of runs the fifth cinched it.

The Officer of War Informa tion, in a report on manpower losses in the Jap Navy, based on official information from the Navy Department and other U. S. Government agencies, says; “The willingness of Japanese to commit hari-kiri is no long®^ considered a virtue because many of the Navy’s best sailor^ have done away with then^' selves.” The Japs have lost approJ^i' mately 262,000 Navy personnel' including at least 25,000 meH^' mers of the Naval Air Corp^’ OWI says.
