 Top teams in the U. s. once again should be Army and Navy. The Army backfield will be built around Glenn Davis and Doc Blan- chard, and that of Navy around Bob Jenkins, Bill Duden, Bob Kelly (ex-Notre Dame) and Tony Minisi (ex-Penn). Stan Koslowski, discharged GI, will return to Holy Cross to play fullback and Col. Bernie Bierman to Minnesota to coach. Welcome additions, both.
 Other returning coaches include Dick Harlow at Harvard, Fuss Nc Laughry at Dartmouth, Wallace Wade at Duke and Tex Oliver at Oregon. In addition, Charlie Cald- well, Williams coach last year, is coming back to take over the reins at his alma mater, Princeton, and Ed McKeever has moved from Notre Dame to Cornell. You can look for trouble at these schools and at Yale, undefeated last year and improved this fall.

Halsey and Spruance Bossed Same Fleet

Washington (CNS) = The 3d Fleet and the 5th Fleet were real ly the same, but the first designa- tion was used when Adm. Halsey was in command, and the second was used when Adm. Spruance was in charge, says the Navy. Likewise Task Force 38, headed by Adm. Mitscher, was identical with Task Force 58, except that it's chief was Adm. Mccain. On it's final engage ment, the fleet consisted of 133 combat vessels, including 9 battle ships, 20 big carriers, 1500 carrier based planes, and 28 British war ships.

Bradley Field Band. Organized by Al "Knobby" Provost, an old
 timer in the squared circle game, the crowd always knew they were in for a good show and Bradley's team was without question one of the best in the East. Among some of the out standing boys who tossed gloves under "Knobby's" supervision were Art Saulsgiver, one of the Bases best; Gale Harvey, Beau Jack Daniels, Jim Washington, George Deitrich and the cOura- geous Claude Grace, who left the Air Force for the Infantry, was

ally turned out to be Sgt. Milt Sil- bert. Silbert hit the jackpot, miss ing only the fourth and fifth places in his predictions. Also in Septem- Der Bradley had it's own World Series when the Bases two top softball teams from B and c Sqns. met in a three-game series that was swept by the Medics, 31 and 80, behind the pitching of B's Chuck Parise. During the football season of "A the BEAM sponsored it's second series of contests for football predictions on weekly basis and many a GI won book of tickets to the Base Theatre during the time the contest was conducted.
 Basketball Tops
 With the coming of basketball season the Base again boasted a top flight team made up of most of the AZ team, who closed the pre- vious season as First Service Com mand Champs. During the season the hoopsters won the Northern First Air Force title and played two benefit games, defeating Vest over and an FBI aggregation from Hartford. On February third the

ski, Red Kresge, Phil Caroselli and few others played on all three teams. Other names in sports that helped give Bradley it's outstand- ing teams were Bill Ward, Reese Harrington, Vogel, Sol Noto, Klein, Jimmy Maloof and Johnny Nc Clain. We've probably missed out on plenty of other names but these are the ones we recall at the mo- ment. Capt. Dewey B. Johnson and It. Rube Mallach, both Athletic Officers, could always be depended on to spark any team on which they played and Mallach's fast ball was something to behold.
 Two sports which gained mo-
 mentum during 1945 were bowl
 ing and golf. Early in 1945 Headquarters organized a group
 of bowling teams that included Officers, EM and civilian per-
 sOnnel and for the next few
 months the teams went at it hot
 and heavy with plenty of sport, fun and entertainment. Golf
 gained a big following in the
 Spring and until few weeks
 ago matches were held every Sunday at clubs in the vicinity.

two sections the Growlers won the first half title and the Pirates the second half and the final all-around championship. Members of the top team of Pirates were: It. w. s. Peirce, It. K. E. Joyce, Cpl. Jimmy Maloof, Doris McKenna and Marion Marnicki. During March the Offic- CTS had their revenge for their 1914 defeat at the hands of the EM softball team by defeating the 1945 EM basketball team by the score of 56-49.
 Another Exhibition
 Last May billiard sharks again had a chance to see a champ at work when Erwin Rudolph visited the Base and gave exhibitions at various day-rooms. A few weeks ago the Wacs at the Base played hosts to the CAP Girl Cadets en- campment at the Base via the soft ball diamond and defeated the young ladies from the CAP in two games with scores of 6-2 and 24-20. During the Summer regular week ly golf tournaments for Officers and EM were held at local golf courses with Lts. Miller and Fen wick and CWO Gray showing up as top men with the clubs.
 FAF Games
 The Bradley Field Softballers started the 1945 First Air Force Championship behind the eight ball after losing their first game to Westover, but the boys made quick recovery and defeated Suf- folk and Mitchell to enter the semi finals and win the Northern Cham pionship. However, in the title matches against Richmond the team lost both games by scores of 2-1 and. 3-2. As we go to press with this last issue of the BEAM the team stands a good chance of taking the FSC Championship. However, the inactive status of the Base will probably cancel all fu- ture games.

 Billiards Exhibition
 During the early part of Decem- Der, 1943, billiard players had the opportunity of seeing one of the Worlds Champs, Charlie Peterson, give an exhibition at the Rec Hall, while 1914 got off with bang with boxing bouts at the gym attended by former champs, Louis Kid" Kaplan and Bat Battalino, who served as refrees for the matches. During July 1914 the Officers and EM softball teams met in a three game contest that was won by the EM in two straight games by the scores of 12-3 and 90. David Sookey, twirler for the EM, spark ed both these games.
