Bradley beam., 1945-08-25

The Fighting Whites" of Wesson, Miss. have representative at Bradley in the per son of Pfc. Will L. White of I Squadron. Will, one of seven brothers serving in the Army, returned to the States only few months ago after years service in New Guinea and the Philippines. Wills most ex- citing experience took place at San Pablo, Leyte, when his outfit was surprised by Jap paratroop attack. The Japs, however, were equally surprised and every little "Son of Heaven" participating in the attack was sent to join his noble ancestors. Will finished high school at Wesson and then turned to farming. At present his future plans are in- definite, but the odds are that he will return to the farm, and with the aid of his brothers he hopes to make a success of the venture. For his overseas service Will wears the Phillipine Liberation Medal, the Asiatic- Pacific Theatre Medal, and of course, the Good Conduct Medal.

 Miss Louise Glemboski General Supply charmer started to work at Bradley Field at the tender age of seventeen and she is truly sorry to have to sever connections now, at the advanced age of nineteen. Louise, albeit jobless upon the closing of the Base, has an offer of a Government position in Washing ton, with the Navy Department, of all peo- pie! She is single, apparently happy, and if she has any special boy friend is not letting the information leak out at this time. She admits however, under pressure, that she does occasionally date a Bradley man, but she'd rather he be known simply as the Unknown Soldier" Without the slightest show of shame, after her two years of Army associations, Louise still calls herself Navy Girl" Except that she writes steadily 10 an unnamed sailor we were unable to learn any more. Louise is an outdoor gal, being crack swimmer and roller-skater, and was very active in athletics at Suffield High School before her graduation in l943.

 Pvt. Ann Schafer of A Squadron was ac- customed to the wearing of uniforms before she joined the WAC in March l944. Ann, as a stewardess on trans atlantic ocean liners, saw a large part of the world and spent some time in most of the larger European and African ports. Ann came into the WAC single, but changed her record recently when she became Mrs. Pvt. Schafer, bride of SISet. Schafer, formerly of Bradley Field. Hubby Schafer was recently sent to Seymour Johnson Field, but with his 87 points, he should be out shortly. Ann, likewise, will request her release and then hopes to settle down and learn the ways of housewife. She also worked for the highly secretive Norden Bomb Sight Company in New York and quit that position to enlist. A New Yorker, she is graduate of the George Washington High School, class of '32. For recreation, Ann likes to swim and tap dance, the latter, though, only for her own amuse- ment.

Wilson employs.
Although Hernandez won his last
start against Wilson, he was out Of

from billy goat action on the part
of Wilson.
WE'LL is confident that the newly

last time out, he says, it would have
been a K. o. win for the Puerto

Tech and Central, the only two
quintets that can make things hot
for the high-riding Eastern Ram
blers in the interhigh basket ball
race, tangle tonight in the Tech
gym in a tilt that may be the tip
off to the eventual outcome of the
championship series.
Eastern, trampling all opposition
with eight straight wins and nc
defeats, unquestionably' is the loop
kingpin, although in the interhigh
standings the Ramblers are locked
with Wilson and Central. The in
side dope, however, favors an i'm
proving Tech team along with the
sparkling Centralites as real con-
tenders.
Today's results will tell the tale.
The Ramblers, shaken slightly by
the scare they were given by st.
Johns yesterday in a 38-to-34 ver-
dict for Eastern that almost came
out the other way, were scheduled
to meet Roosevelt this afternoon in
the Rough Rider gym. All indica-
tions were that Eastern would make
it victory No. 9.
Meanwhile, pair of the cellar
dwellers of the circuit, Coolidge and
Western, were listed for an after
noon collision at Tech. Both are
winless in interhigh play.
Central Favored Tonight.
Central is the favorite in tonight's
important Tech tussle. The Vikings
were forced into overtime to gain
q 1920 decision over Woodberry
Forest yesterday to prove their abil-
ity to come through in the clutches
and are keen to get at Eastern
Tech, however, has an unpredictable
habit of pouring on, the coal when
big things are hanging in the bal
ance, and nobody is selling the
Maroon short.
But in the way Of unpredictable
performances, Eastern's Bob Lamon
takes the cake. If his play was
consistent: he could be rated as one
of the best forwards the local scho-
lastic game ever has seen, but
Lamon for all his natural ability
and hawkeye shooting, is great
starter but poor f1nisher.
In yesterdays game with st. Johns
on Eastern hardwood, for instance
Lamon went basket happy in the
first period to sink five field goals
and a foul shot for II points before
eight minutes had passed. From
that point on, however, he failed to
get a goal, collecting only two
charity points over the remainder
of the distance. 1t was up to Eddie
Charnock to provide the four-point
margin of victory with four straight
foul shots, another odd twist, since
Eddie has been missing two out OF
three penalty throws this season.
Johnnies Deadlock Score.
The Johnnies put on their deter
mined uprising in the second period,
as Tommy 6etner. Paul Durkin and
Eddie Ponton crashed through to
put the Cadets within two points of
the Rambler total, and John Hughes
tied it up at 20-all as the half ended.
St. Johns took the lead early in
the third stanza, but Eastern's AL
|D'Ambrosio and Dudley Spicknall
popped in three goals to put the
Ramblers ahead, 26 to Is before the
gun went off.
The Fasteners increased their
advantage in the final heat on a
goal by D'Ambrosio, but Gletner and
Hughes fought back to tie it up
again. Lamon sank foul shot and
Charnock dropped in his four
straight to put the game on ice.
