Clovis New Mexico's strong
AAU club provided a somber
evening for post boxing fans in
downing Fort Hood at the Main
Sports Arena Saturday.
The visiting fighters took five
wf nine bouts. All nine events
2nd AD Boxers
Enter Corpus
Christi Tourney
Coach Bobbie Mize's 2nd Ar
mored Division boxers journey
to the Corpus Christi Invitation
al Boxing Tournament Dec.
17-19.
^The entire 16-man boxing
®juad will make the trip in
hopes of landing fights with as
many opponents as possible. At
the present the number of bouts
Hell On Wheels pugilists will
compete in and the specific en-
trans are indefinite.
Although the 1st AD squad
also intends to enter the com
petition the two Fort Hood Di
visions plan to box separately
and not as a combined team.
Several of the 2nd Armored
Division's natural rivals might
be included in the field such
James Connally AFB Lack
land AFB Randolph AFB
Fort Bliss Fort Sam Houston
Fort Sill and Goodfellow AFB.
In all 37 teams are eligible to
enter fighters.
Other contending teams in the
N. L. are the 47th Medical Bn.
(17-3) and the 123rd Main
tenance Bn. (16-4). Also in con
tention in the American loop
are the 16th Engineer Bn. (18-
6) the Support Sports battal
ion (15-9) and the 1st Bn. 46th
Infantry (15-9).
The best games and series
have been rolled in the A. L.
PFC Lyle Moore (Oklahoma
City Okla.) turned in the best
jaitte 266 but Sp-5 Alvin Krek-
(Fort Atkinson Wis.) ihad
a 265 the same day. PFC

Peter Snell the world's top
middle distance runner from
New Zealand recently lowered
his own world's record in the
mile to 3:54.1. A week later
Pvt. Harold G. Gunter (Okla
homa City Okla.) of Hq. Co.
501st Supply & Transport Bn.
ran the mile in the airborne-
qualifying physical test in 4:50.
Comapred to Snell's time
Gunter's feat would seem to be
^vershadowed but consider the
™rcumstances. Snell was run
ning in la thin track suit and
Gunter in bulky Army fatigues.
Snell was wearing specially
made lightweight track shoes
that weighed 6 ounces while
Gunter was wearing combat
boots tha weigh approximately
three pounds. Snell was running
on a beautifully manicured
track and Gunter ran on a rutty
unlevel ovul.
Pvt. Gunter started his track
career at Dougals High in Okla
homa City where he competed
in various summer track meets.
The 1st A.D. soldier could be a
valued addition to the Old Iron
sides track team this spring.
The Fort Hood record for the
mile stands at 4:31 but with
proper equipment and tutelage
Gunter is almost a certainty to
0bt a new standard for the four-
lap event.

Hood's One-Two Armor Punch
were won by decisions. One
boxing pundit called Clovis the
finest aggregation of amateur
fighters he had ever seen.
The 1st Armored Division's
Robert Lawson still considered
a novice by Old Ironsides'
coach Milton Gaines got
servicemen off to a good start
by taking the opening match
from Andy Chavez in the 119-
lb. class but Clovis came back
to capture the next three bouts.
Lawson in his first season
of Army fighting was knocked
down in the second rund but
came on strong to jar Chavez
with several punches.
Fort Hood rooters dismally
watched the next three evnets
as Earl Large one of the top
amateur boxers in the country
defeated Pete Espinoza Brook
Byrd decisioned Jerry Hart and
Eddie Smith won over Joe Ber-
narding.
Last year's Fourth Army run-
nerup Robert McCrary came
through over Joe Chavez in the
evening's fifth event for 132
pounders but Rickie Martinez
continued the Clovis dominance
in the next three-rounder over
Joseph Espinola.
McCrary took advantage of
his longer reach in beating Cha
vez. Chavez was floored with a
right to the temple in the third
round but held on until the final
bell.
The 2nd Armored Division's
Roy McMillian looked good in
beating Pete Esquivel at 156
lbs. and the 1st Armored Divi
1st AD Has 20-Game Winner
The Maneuver Sports battal
ion remains unbeaten in 20
games in the 1st Armored Di
vision's National League bat-
talion-level bowling competi
tion.
^In the American League the
^icesetting team with 20 wins
in 24 games belongs to the
1st Bn. 52nd Infantry.
Moore also has the high series
635.
In the N. L. PFC Oliver
Wessel's (St. Louis Mo.) 254
is the highest game to date
but Sp-4 Harold Warmann
(Niles 111.) has the best series
629.
Old Ironsides' bowling com
petition is held each Thursday
afternoon at the Fort Hood
lanes.
Forester Rolls
Bowlers Dream
Sgt. (E-5) Jesse P. Forester
Jr. (Rogers Tex.) of Hq. Co.
3rd Brigade achieved a bowl
er's dream Tuesday evening
as he rolled a perfect 300 game
in sanctioned league play at
the Copperas Cove Lanes.
The 1st Armored Division ser
geant estimated that he won
about $500 in cash and $500
in prizes for his feat. Sgt. For
rester who carries a 177 aver
age was the first person to roll
a perfect game on the Copperas
Cove alleys. He was bowling in
the Mixed Doubles league as a
member of the Roarin' 20's
team.
The 300 game helped boost
his series to a scorching 652
also the highest of thnwear at
Copperas Cove. Wr

ion a 103-102 decision over the
5th Bn. 6th Infantry Monday
and moved the club into a first-
place tie in the 1st Armored
Division's National League bat
talion-level race.
The victorious battalion com
posed of the 501st Administra
tion Co. and the 501st Military
Police Co. is now deadlocked
with the 3rd Bn. 19th Artillery
for the top spot in the close
N. L. race. Both teams have
6-1 records.
Support Sports Capt. Donald
D. David's Cagers reached the
pinnacle the hard way in the
past week. The club edged 1st
Bn. 46th Infantry 97-96 when
Lt. Jim Potter (Folsom Pa.)

foul with three seconds remain

has rolled up 40 out of a pos-| Then comes the 3rd Bn. 66th
Armor which has made hugej
strides in the past few weeks. I
sible 40 points in battalion level
basketball to further increase
its gigantic margin in the Com
mander's Cup Race wih less
than three weeks to the finish
line.
After its cagers bagged four
of four games (ten points for
a win and five for a loss) the
50th is sitting pretty at 901
points and a 276 digit lead over
its closest contender.
The 1st Bn. 78th Artillery
appears to have a lock on sec
ond spot with 625 points while
Special Troops (596) busily at
tempts to fend off the concerted
drive of the 142n'd Signal Bn.
and its 561 markers.
The 17th Engineer Bn. finds
itself in fifth at 537 points while
recovering from the loss of five
counted-upon points as its bask
etball team bowed for the first
time after four successes.
1 3 A
grips sixth with 508 points and
a lead of 62 over seventh-slot-
it wasn't until recentlv that this
outfit crasnea the select ten1
but it has made the others takej
notice ever since.
After annexing ninth last
week the armor unit plucked
eighth place from the sliding!
1st Bn. 16th Artillery 436 points
to 415.
There's been a change in 10th:
in that the 2nd Bn. 17th Armor
has fallen from its perch and)
has been replaced by the 2nd
Bn. 41st Infantry and its 376
points. But there remains some
semblance of hope for the 2nd
Bn. 67th Armor for its is only
4 digits in arrears of tenth
place.
The last time a Big Eight
team appeared in the Cotton
Bowl (1946) Misouri gained 408
yards rushing but lost to Tex
as 40-27.
