Treaders Snap Out Of Losing Streak

Outplay Fort Myers To Win
1892. Potomac Diners Also
Win. Dover Army Air Base
Five Here On Sunday.
BY Joe Snyder
With Player-Coach Mel Henry
leading the way, the Ludwig Tread
er snapped their two-game losing
streak and defeated the Headquar-
tiers War Department five of Fort
Myer, Va, last Sunday on the Arm
DRY floor, the final verdict being So
80. The Treaders forged to the
front early in the game and man
aged to keep a safe lead throughout
the contest, with the exception of
the. first quarter.
The Potomac Diners also broke
into the win column, turning back
the DR.. Pepper quint of Winchester
in the co-feature, by a score of
46-40 Hank" Hershey and Jim
Brode paced the attack for the Wis
itors, while Eddie Smokes did his
share to keep the Virginians in the
ball game.
Treaders Take The Lead
Play was exceptionally close in
the opening period of the Treaders'
tussle, neither team being able to
stay in front for any period of time.
The Ludwiggers' got off on the right
foot with several beautifully-execu-
ted plays, with Vic Barnhart and
Henry on the scoring end, to pro-
vide them with scant 1919 advan-
tage at the quarter mark.
Big Bill Will, Johnny Brennan
and George Flauett dented the
scoring block for the soldiers.
The Ludwig defense frightened up
considerably in the second period,
while the offensive attack picking
up momentum. Mel and the boys
held their opponents to a single
field goal and two free losses, while
ringing up total of II TALES them
selves. Mel himself was the big
noise, swishing three shots from out
side the charity circle. The inter
score was 21-13.
Soldiers Bounce Back
The Soldiers started the third
with renewed fight and
vigor, letting the Treaders know
they had no pushover on their
hands. Brennan teamed up with Jim

Mills to give the Myer five eight
points, each sinking pair of double
deckers. Freddie Davis and Jimmy
Robey dropped in couple of buc-
kets to keep the Treaders in the
lead, the scoreboard read 1928 at
the beginning of the final 10-minute
session.
Johnny Muster, a tower of strength
on both offense and defense all
year, hit his usual stride in the last
quarter and led his mates onward
to victory for the first time in three
weeks. Barnhart and Henry helped
considerably with several nice one
hand casts.
The Soldiers drew within single
bucket of the Treaders at the g.
minute mark, but their attack bog
ged down right there.
The Treaders looked better than
they have for the past few weeks.
Their password was excellent and
their goal-tossing of the best.
They'll have a job on their hands
this week, for the roster of the
Dover Army Air Base, the team
booked for next Sunday, is filed
with former pro and college stars.
The Flyers will take the floor with

HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

Talking with Mrs. Merrill Hays
last week about the Precious Stone
Bowling League, l threatened her
with write-up in this column, UNI
less she snapped out of it and bowled
at least one game of 100 or better.
So what does she do? Well, just
take look at the scores this week
and you'll find that Mrs. Hays
bowled a 105 and 101 game.
Nice going lady and since you
really did snap out of it, I'll forget
about the write-up!
1t was my privilege last week to
hear Commander w R. (Killer
Kane), assistant director of ath-
letics at the us. Naval Academy,
and a Naval Air Force squadron
commander during the hectic early
days of the war in the Pacific, who
was the guest speaker at the Kiwanis
Club weekly luncheon.
Lightly brushing aside his ex-
periences when, as a squadron
flight commander on the aircraft
carrier Enterprise, he led his squad
ron into those terrible air battles
around and above Guadalcanal (and
the ribbons he wore were adequate
testimony of what he went through,
he told his audience something of
what competitive sports had done to
keep the Navy fiers fit and their
morale high.
Himself a perfect specimen of a
healthy Navy man Che stands well
over six feet and has a CLINT and
sparkle in his eye that is as refresh
ing and warming as the MONDAY
SUM, Commander Kane emphasized
the Importance of a well rounded
out physical fitness program, not
only in time of war, but in peace
times as well. Quoting startling
figures to prove his point-he point
ed out for instance, that of Is million
drafted in the 1887 class, no less
than five and a half million were
rejected as physically unft-the
Navy officer urged every community
to get behind a full physical fitness
program, starting in the schools and
continuing on through the home, the
clubs and the industrial plants.
Speaking directly to the members
of the Hagerstown High School foot
ball squad, who with their coach,
Eddie Senior, were guests at the
luncheon, Commander Kane said
that although Navy men have an
even better football team this year
than they had last, they could al
ways use few more good guards
and tackles, and he invited any
member of the high school team
who would like to play on a Navy
team to get in touch with him.
l liked Commander Kane from
the moment l first set eyes on him,
but when he wound up his talk by
fatty stating that the Navy, under
coach Hamilton, would beat Army
this year, Blanchard and Davis
notwithstanding, he became a friend
of mine for life.
