ONES, DUNBAR SET RECORDS
Armstrong, Spingorn
Roted Tops in Group

Iof the four playoff berths at the
end Of next month.
In Dunbar's romp over West
ern. Jones, a 5-foot-l0 senior, hit
Ion IS Of % shots from the floor
and Z OF 10 foul shots.
Jones total was 4 points higher
than the Al points scored by
iLonnie Herzbrun of Wilson In
1858, the record in the old Divi-
sion I. It was far short, how
ever. Of Elgin Baylor's So points
while at Spingarn against Phelps
in 1854, the old Division II mark.
With his scoring spree, Jones,
whose older brother Frank was
also a star with Dunbar two
years ago, increased his overall
average to 26 points a game. and
pushed his Interhigh average to
I34 points a contest. Most Of his
scores came on driving layups or
push shots from around the foul
line.
The SO points scored by Dun
bar also broke the Interhigh
record for most team points. The
old record when the leagues were
separate was ITO points, by
Phelps in 1852. Dunbar had a
chance to hit the century mark
when Charlie johnson was fouled
with 3 seconds to go, but he
missed and the tap was no good.
OverShadowed by Jones hero
les were l8 points by Neal Wood
ruff and Elliot Warley's re-
bounding. Ray lombard had IA
points for Western.
The victory was Dunbar's fifth
straight without a loss in regu-
lar season play. Western took
its second loss Of the year against
one victory.
Coach Frank Bolden of Car
dozo cleared his bench in an
effort to hold down the score
against hapless Bell, but with
his second team scoring at will
on a woodworking fast break,
he was forced to put in the first
string in the waning moments
of the final period to freeze the
ball.
Roland Rue led the Clerks with
is points. while Richard Scott
had IL and Herbert GLADDEN.
and Morris Smith 10 each. Ken
Jones was high for Bell with 16.
Wilson used the combined eff
forts of Bill Bues. Pete Abbott
and Lew Luce. who hit for IS,
IA and 10 points. respectively, TO
waltz over Coolidge with little
difficulty. Jack Silas was best
for Coolidge with Is points.

the league lead with a 51-2s

Showdown Next Friday
The stage thus is set for a
showdown between the league
leaders next Friday night at
Northwestern. Despite pre-sea-
son announcements that Blair
would have an inexperienced
team, the Blazers should be in
the thick of it all the way.
Coach Ed Moffatt has only
three players who saw even lin
tied action last year as the
Blazers ran up % wins without
defeat.
Ed Clements, Bill Froman
and Joe Zavona played a little
last year. but with that good
team there was little opportu-
nifty to break in," Moffatt ex-
planned. These are the boys
who probably will help us the
most. They are seniors, but we
have nine returning next year
and we should be ready by then.
From the way the Blazers op-
Grated last night against a vet

CIVIL AIR PATROL
is OBSERVING ITS
18th ANNIVERSARY

Wshington.-Fifteen years ago
the world was smouldering with
the beginnings of a second world
war. Poland and France had been
invaded by the Nazi hordes. The
British were fighting for their
lives in a desperate air battle.
Burma, Singapore and much of
the East Indies had fallen to the
Japanese. In this country we were
girding for a production battle.
The United States was to become
the arsenal of the world-or so
we thought.
Seeing the "hand writing on the
wall" a group Of prominent pri-
vate pilots and aviation enthusiasts
began organizing here at home for
the tasks they felt would be re-
quired of them. They called them
selves the Civil Air Patrol and
were prepared to volunteer their
services and the use of their pri-
vate planes for vital war work
courier service, light transporta-
ton and search and rescue.
Just six days before Pearl Har-
Dor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, then d.
rector of the Office of Civilian De-
tense under the late President
Franklin D., Roosevelt, signed a
document officially recognizing
the Civil Air Patrol and calling
for "all persons in aviation to en-
roll and otherwise assist in this
important contribution to our ma
tional defense"
In a matter of 80 days private
pilots from all over the country
flying almost every conceivable
type of light plane began arriving
at some 81 makeshift flying fields
along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
Tankers carrying vitality needed
gasoline and oil from the Gulf of
Mexico to Atlantic ports were be-
ing sunk right and left within
sight of land. There were not
enough Navy and Army planes to
provide the necessary air cover.
The newly formed CAP asked for
and got the job of anti-submarine
patrol.
Maj. Wynant Farr and Capt.
John Haggin, CAP volunteers fly
ing out of the first anti-submarine
patrol base at Atlantic City, N.
j., drew first blood against the
German U-boat. Patrolling "a miles
off the coast in their small plane
they spotted and dropped depth
charges against a submarine cruis-
ing just under the surface. They
got credit for damaging and/or
sinking a U-boat."
During the next few years CAP
flight crews bombed 80 submarines,
sank or seriously damaged another
one and called in the Army or
Navy to attack another 173 u
boats. In all they flew more than
100000 miles on anti-submarine
patrol and thousands of miles on
other important missions. They
lost So of their number.
Today's CAP carries on the
work begun by these pioneers.
Each year CAP volunteers fly
more hours on search and rescue
in the U. S. on Air Force-directed
missions than all other agencies
combined. CAP flight crews and
ground personnel are training for
critical roles in disaster relief, ra-
diation monitoring and air support
to civil defense. In addition, CAP
now sponsors the only nationwide
youth aviation education program
