AL PICHE WRITES'
Athletic Specialist first class
Al Plche, Jr. expects to be home
from overseas duty with the
navy some time in January, ac
cording to a letter received by
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Al
Plche, 47 North Peach street
He wrote that he regretted not
being able to come home for the
Christmas holidays because his
replacement had not yet arrlv
ed. Piche stated that a basket
ball team jf which he was coach
and player won 25 out of 26
games and that the team, now
coached by a lieutenant who Is
a graduate of USC will enter a
big ETO tournament In January
Plche went on to say that his
team has the full cooperation of
the base commander, who prom
lsed he would have the team
flown to Paris to play the best
team In France If Piche can
prove his squad Is the best In
the United Kingdom,
In a game against an officers'
team Piche wrote that his team
won E0 to 28 but had to finish
the game with but four men be
cause of so many personal fouls
being called.
He wrote of his group putting
on a smoker for soldiers who re
turned from France to recover
from the effects of war. He said
it gave him great satisfaction to
be able to give those boys a few
hours of enjoyment and some
thing different. ,
In one of his letters Plche
told of a game with an army
station hospital team in which
his team won 51 to 49. Thirty
seconds were left to play and
his team was one point behind
when Plche grabbed the ball and
dribbled down the floor but
missed his shot, when he was
fouled. He made the first tree
throw but missed the second and
the game ended In a tie. In an
overtime period his team scored
one field goal to win the con
test. It was their 24th straight
victory.

the other encounter on a foul.'
