‘Busters Meet
State at Raleigh
A1 Preudenheim will start on
the mound for the Cloudbusters
this afternoon at Raleigh as the
Navy Pre-Flight nine opens its ra­
tion league schedule against North
Carolina State.
While Lieut. Don Kepler, head
baseball coach, would not predict
how the Cloudbusters would make
out in the ration league — which
includes the University of North
Carolina, Duke and N. C. State—
he did state Thursday afternoon
that he was pleased with the prog­
ress the team has made.
“We don’t have a lot of ball
players on the club with previous
college or professional experi­
ence,” Kepler commented, “but
theyVe shown a lot of spirit, and
I think they’ll do okay.”
Always possessing one of the
better baseball teams in North
Carolina, N. C. State will prove a
real test for the Cloudbusters.
Moreover the boys from Raleigh
will be out for their first athletic
victory over the Cloudbusters.
They lost to Pre-Plight in football,
dropped two games each to the
cadets and officers’ basketball
teams.
Already the Cloudbusters have
played three games with Carolina,
none of which was official and
none of which went nine innings.
Carolina won the first game, 4 to
1, the Cloudbusters won the sec­
ond, 3 to 2, and the last, which was
played Tuesday afternoon, ended
in a 7 to 7 tie. In that Carolina is

> Ensign Cornelius Warmerdam,
the world’s greatest pole vaulter
who is taking his indoctrination
here as a V-5 instructor, will lead
the U. S. Navy Pre-Plight track
team against Duke University
this afternoon at Durham.
It will mark Warmerdam’s first
appearance since he set a new
world’s record at Chicago two
v/eeks ago. Since that time the
“Plying Dutchman” has been
scaling 15-ft. straight walls, 20-ft.
cargo nets, and meeting other ath­
letic hazards in his training here,
and just how his muscles will re­
act to the “all-around” training
will be known by tonight.
Other than Warmerdam, the
Pre-Plighters have little to offer
in the way of track stars. Duke,
always one of the finer track
teams in the Southern Conference,
will be led by Moffat Storer and
Bob Gantt. Storer, who runs the
hurdles and the 100-yard dash, is
one of the fastest stars in the
country. Gantt is a weight man.
Besides those who won the regi­
mental track and field events held
here last week, four or five new­
comers will be wearing Navy
colors. Among them are Thomas
Craig, a graduate of the Univer­
sity of South Carolina; Leonard
Barnum of West Virginia Wes­
leyan ; Ray Alee of San Prancisco
State, and Mark Panther of the
University of Iowa.
Craig throws the discus, Bar­
num and Panther the javelin and
Alee the shot. All were stars in
college, but since graduating have
had little time to practice. How­
ever, should they come anyways
close to the records they made in
college, the Pre-Plighters will be
strong in these events.
Winners of the track and; field
jamboree who expect to take part
are T, A. Golden in the 70-yd. high
hurdles, J. R. Voshell in the 80yd. low hurdles, C. A. Charlet in
the 440, J. J. Kissell in the mile
run, G. E. Goldman in the 100-yd
dash, H. G. Richmond in the 880,
D. P. Turk in the discus, W. M.
Hamscher in the shot, W. P. Bates
and A. W. Clark in the broad
jump, and C. J. Chapman in the
high jump.
