Archery, Fencing
Supplies Arrive
Soldiers with a bent for arch
ery and fencing got their chance
to brush up on their techniques
this week with the arrival of
archery equipment, foils and
masks at the Post Recreation
Hall. An additional supply of
gym shoes also were on hand.
Cinching what appears will be
an unmarred string of basket
ball victories the Post team add
ed their 13th and 14th wins of
the season by smashing victor
ies over Redmond Air Base and
the Bend Wooden Box team last
Tuesday and Friday, respective
ly-
Though the first half of the
game with the Redmond quintet
ended 28-22, Coach Leo Frizzo’s
Post team had little difficulty in
increasing their six point lead to
a 68-28 victory. With Lt. Butz
back at guard the Abboteers de
fensive proved too powerful for
the visiting basketmen and in
the second half they eked out a
mere six points.
Last night’s game saw the
“ champs” once again in true
form against the Wooden Box
team. Playing with perfect co
ordination the Abbot men smash
ed the Bend team for the second
time in two weeks. The latter
game was sponsored to provide
funds for the current Red Cross
drive. The score was 46 to 38.
Normally the benefit game
would have concluded the state
G. I. basketball season, but the
Redmond Air Base squad has
requested a return match. This
will be held sometime this
month.
11th Group Ring
Tourney Slated
The Post’s second boxing
tournament — for battalions of
the 11th Group which are not
competing in the current spring
tourney — were started Thurs
day. Sgt. Leo Frizzo, post ath
letic director urged that battal
ion recreation officers take in
ventory of ring talent and en
courage prospective participants
to begin workouts immediately.
“ The importance o f getting
into condition before the tourna
ment gets underway cannot be
too strongly emphasized,” Friz
zo pointed out. In a number of
bouts in the spring tournament
a boxer would lead on points
through two rounds and become
an easy mark in the third be
cause he was too tired to keep
up with his opponent.”
Everything a boxer needs in
the way of training equipment
is available at the recreation
hall, Frizzo reminded.
Kansas City (CNS) — Bill
Peterson, a night club manager,
was troubled by the manpower
shortage. So he hired his two
daughters as waitresses, his
wife as hostess, his ex-wife as
cashier and his father as door
man.
