WE KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN WHEN YOU’RE TALKING PA TS.
By RUDY PURIF1CATO
6th Cav Bde Sports Writer
Seventeen-year-old James Littlefield of
Austin’s Westlake High School may not be
another Mark Spitz but he’s indeed an
Olympic “golden boy.”
Littlefield paced afield of nearly 400
youngsters in winning five gold medals in
the recent 9th Annual Explorer Olympics
held at Ft. Hood.
An Olympic Team hopeful for the 1980
games Littlefield won every swimming
competition he entered. He won the 100 and
200 meter mens’ freestyle 100 meter
backstroke breastroke and butterfly.
Ft. Hood’s Explorer Olympics was host-
ed by the 6th Cav. Bde.’s 13th Avn. Bn. with
help from the 34th Spt. Bn. and sponsored
by the Heart O’ Texas Council. Explorer
Olympics are held annually throughout the
nation by participating Boy Scouts of
America Councils. These games area pre-
lude to the National Explorer Olympics to
be held July 31 to Aug. 5 at Colorado State
University.
Young men and women ages 14 to 20
who win medals locally may be selected as
part of the top scoring councils for national
competition. Youngsters winning at the na-
tionals may represent the United States in
the World Olympic Games Youth Camp in
1960. Several Explorer Scout athletes have
been members of the 1972 and 1976 U.S.
Olympic Team as a result of national Ex-
plorer Olympics competition.
This year’s Explorer Olympics at Ft.
Hbod featured 69 sports events in which a
total 79 individual medals were awarded.
The events ranged from typical Olympic
sports such as cycling track & field and ri-
fle marksmanship to chess orienteering
and public speaking.
The Capitol Council which is composed
of Explorer posts from Austin San Marcos
and adjacent communities was the overall
winner capturing a total 47 medals. Other
participants included second place Gulf
Coast Council (Corpus Christi) Sam
Houston Council (Houston) Heart O’ Texas
(Central Texas) Concho Valley (San
Angelo) Alamo Area (San Antonio) Caddo
Area (Texarkana) Commanche Trail
(Brownwood) and Bay Area (Galveston).

The top scoring council post was 122A
from San Marcos (Capitol Council) which
dominated the games in winning 10 gold
medals four silver and five bronze. Posts
finishing second and third in point totals
were Alamo Council’s Post 507 and Capitol
Council’s Post 91 (Austin).
Top individual winners besides Austin’s
Littlefield were San Marcos’ Victor Hart
(four medals in track & field) Brett
Drewery (four medals) John Hovatter
Thomas Love and Jeremy Wilson (three
medals apiece) all from the Capitol Coun-
cil. Other top winners were Miguel Ochoa
from the Gulf Coast Council who won six
medals local girl Cheryl Boroski of the
Heart O’ Texas Council with four medals
and Susan Oats from the Alamo Area with
four medals.
Although no world records were broken
a few athletes set outstanding personal re-
cords. These included Capitol Council’s
Victor Hart who ran the 100 yard dash in 9.4
seconds and Brett Drewery’s softball toss
which measured over 299 ft. Other notables
included Heart O’ Texas Council’s George
Clark who leaped six feet three inches in
the high jump and Mike Partyka’s brilliant
victory to capture the chess championship.
Explorer Olympics are primarily de-
signed to involve America’s youth in a
variety of sports leading to possible World
Olympic competition. Local games held
throughout the nation have received
cooperation and guidance from the U.S.
Olympic Committee the Amateur Athletic
Union of the United States the National
High School Athletic Coaches Association
and the National Federation of State High
School Associations. Logistical support in
hosting local games has been provided by
all four branches of the Armed Forces. The
1978 National Explorer Olympics to be
held in Colorado this summer has been
sanctioned by the Rocky Mountain Associa-
tion AAU.

INSPECTIONS
With the ending of Monday night’s
games the Ft. Hood men’s basketball
season is officialy ended.
Throughout the two week championship
tournament the team exhibited
sportsmanship ability and a competitive
spirit that was completely outstanding.
Twelve teams started the tourney from
1st Cav. Div. 2nd Armd. Div. and non-
divisional units. The double elimination
play continued until there were only two
teams left to vie for the title of 1978 Basket-
ball Champions for Ft. Hood. In the end
57th Sig. Bn. won the trophy with the 17th
Engr. Bn. 2nd. Armd. Div. placing second.
The officials for the basketball tourna-
ment were excellent to say the least. Their
keen eyes knowledge of the game itself
and extremely professional approach to
every game they refereed lended greatly to
the high quality of ball being played. No
player dared try to get away with a bad
move for fear that an eagle eyed official
would stop play with his whistle. These out-
standing officials were: John Apio Donald
DeCasper James Dooley III Murry
Gillespie Roger F. Harrison William L.

keeper was Bruce Vasbinder and the time
keeper was Richard Hoyuela Jr.
All of the teams that participated not on-
ly in the tournament but during regular
season as well are winners in their own
right. By being on a sports team they built
sportsmanship self-confidence and were
kept physically fit.
But it was not just the players and of-
ficials who made the season a resounding
success. The support given to the teams by
the units was remarkable. Without these
erstwhile fans the season would not have
been as much a success as it was. A hearty
thank-you is extended to these durable
basketball fans for helping with morale
during the long basketball season.
Overall it was an excellent season for
everyone fans and players alike. The
finishing touch was the championship
games between 57th Sig. Bn. and the 17th
Engr. Bn. This was definitely the best of
amateur basketball to be seen in along
time and may be not seen for some time to
come.
Congratulations on a job well done!
