RODID-ROBlIf TOURNEY NOTES
Finiahlng with unbeaten alatea
Squadron 791 and 797 ei^tured the
Pursuit and Bomber laaguas Cbaiqpl:^
nshlp respaetlvely in tba round-
robin pl^ which ended on Feb. 19th
in the aporta arena. Both teama won
nine and lest none.
Both 791 and 797 poaaeased
individual aparlq)luga who ware of
lawMssurable importance In thair
quest for tha league titlea. Pvt.
Sol Glowgower of 791, e former HTO.
iter, proved an able, cool, team
general and a reliable scerer.And
in S/Sgt. "Whltey" Poppa, the 797th
had an aggreeeiva hard-fighti^
player who lead hia circuit in sco
ring.
Though both tltliat boaaUd
almoi>-pure records, they had many a
narro»r ese^ from defeat, and the
touroement in general waa f\ai of
thrills and herd-fighting. Iheee
facts were especially in evidence
during the latter half of the tooi^
nay when all Uama had worn off
their initial nervouanees and dis
organisation and settled down to
skillful end aggressive playing. In
the Boo^r League, for exasple,
three quintets - the 793rd, 795th
and the Medical Det. - after wege-
ing a bitter battle down to the end
finished tied for aecond with seven
vietoriee end two losaea eaoh.
Several of the contingents be
came stronger toward the close of
the eaapalgn by the addition of now
personnel. This fact together with
the eiperienee gained by all the
squadron fives in the rounct-robin
promisee plenty of ezeitnent
and thrlUe in the poet ehaiq)ionsh^
elimination tourney which started
last night at tha ^orta Arana.
