To which we "answer -"line" and "oh, yeah" all , in the same breath. Meaning by the f'oh, yeah" that some of the . officials in charge of doling out the equipment should drop out to our local airport and have a chat with some of the boys out there if they think they're hap py'. Restrictions won't allow us to print just how many khaki clads now roost around the air- port,' but you can. count all the pieces of sports equipment those men have on one'hand and nev er hit the same finger twice. ; ' Ironical too, since all (he air-" portsters need do is cross the ; road a piece to frolic' in Geo. E. Waters park. The doors of the - ball orchard are open to 'em, but it just, ain't no fun playing - .ball in pantomime. " , " Furthermore, Mrs. Waters has already launched a sort of ' . one-man- campaign for equip- : ment for. the airportsters, and today at noon will present one way . and a good way to overcome the situation during the Marion hotel joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Farm- committee and the ''Retail Trade bureau. The members in meeting will be asked to go to bat financially so that the soldiers can go to bat literally.

"So when Bailey arrived, much to his disgust he was told to re port for another physical. When he was told that it was being given because there was something "psychologically' wrong with him, the heavy-set Texan tore loose with a tremendous blast. But orders were orders. : . "As the two-hour ordeal continued, more and more thlnrs were found wronr with the Courar power-house: He finally end ed up in the sick bay and had to send a messare tellinr his wife he couldn't be home for dinner!

Friday Fourth Straight, Top WW Whacks 381st With 7-3 Victory CAMP ADAIR, April 29-(Special)-With Ammon Adams el bowing eight-hit ball and whiffing nine, Willamette university's Bearcat' ball gamers bopped out a 7-3 victory over the 381st in fantry team here Thursday. The win pushed the Bearcat winning streak to four straight. Adams . had . 15 - hit support from his mates, Trrr three of the is belnr bashed by Clint Cameron to lead the as sault. Every f .player on the 1 'Cat nine had J a t le a s t one 1 base hit except Cameron C e nterflelder Don Barnick and Pinch-hitter Hank EreolinL The Keene clan . spotted the 381st the first run: and Adams held 'cm to that tally until his side -brought three across in 'the fifth. The khaki -dads knotted things in their half of the heat with a pair, and then in the eighth the Methodists shoved across two more to go ahead and stay there. Cameron's double supplied the punch for the two climbers, but again in the ninth he singled across two more to really ice the test Although the 381st pitcher, Bittenhonse was touched for the 15 blows by the 'Cats, he whif fed elrht himself and added a two-ply wallop to his lost cause. Mate Drechsler cracked a home run in the first inning off Ad ams. Gordon Kunke, Wes Saxton and Adams himself all garnered two hits, while the only soldier able to fathom.
