The USS Sarsfield and the
Navy All Stars justified their
ratings as No. / and No. 8 teams
Of the Gold Medal basketball
tournament last night. The Sars-
field, Atlantic Coast destroyer
champions, swamped Radio, 40 to
IL, and the All-Stars routed Ro-
nero Electric, Ga to %.
The third tournament e am e
played at the High School gym
was a thriller which took two
overtime periods before Coca
Coin could take 1925 decision
from the USS Gilmore Engineers.
In tonight's games the USS
Gilmore faces Key West Transit
at 2 o'clock, and the Red Raiders,
rated No. 2 team of the tourna-
ment, face the dark-horse Inde-
pendents in what may prove to
be one of the fastest games of
the tournament. The Indepen-
dents are made up largely of
stars OF the 1946-47 High School
team which defeated an Alumni
team composed partly of Raider
players last December.
The Sarsfield showed impress
sive scoring strength with Heron
scoring Is points, Loche 10 and
Zagar IL, but the Navy All-Stars
exhibited even more of an often
sive, although meeting a consid-
erably weaker opponent. Seward
tossed in 10 baskets, Swenson 2
and Smith 6 for the Navy.
Both the Sarsfield and All
Stars stamped themselves as
probable semi-finalists in the
scramble for the silver trophy
and other choice awards.

Craft, National Service Officers,

ficer of the VFW at Miami.
A few interesting facts, about
the DAV: 1t maintains 40 state
departments and some LOO
chapters throughout the nation.
One of the most vital services
the DAV renders to the veteran
is the proper preparation, presen-
tation and prosecution of his
claim for governmental benefits.
More than half of the present
DAV members throughout the
nation are World War II veterans
and the present National Com
mander is veteran of World
