PHYSICAL FITNESS A NECESSITYIf you don't watch it. Florida heat can bi'in_r on a fine

case of laziness. As many can testify, it takes no effort a t 'all to get out of shape around here.

The necessity for physical fitness should not need repe-!tition. Nearly every man aboard is available for quick as-'jjlgnment to duty requiring a maximum of vigor and en-durance.

The Station athletic program offers a wide variety ofsupervised sports. Even if you are unable to take part inteam activities, you owe it to yourself to stay in tip-top;condition by taking advantage of the many athletic facilitiesat your disposal. ;

here, a jeep painted in red and yel-low preceded us to the taxiway tolead us out. On the back end of thejeep in large letters were thesewords: "FOLLOW ME." You onlyhave to circle the field to realizehew helpful this jeep can be. Itkeeps you from getting lost in themaze of taxiways and from gettingtangled with other aircraft.

Last week's station smoker, con-sisting of song-, music, laughs,and hog calling, provided an eve-ning's fun for the station person-nel.

The 11 or 1~ members of theaudience who participated in theprogram drew cheers from thespectators by just admitting as Cothe state of birth.

Things got under way with afew numbers by the band and •community sing Emcee Tico's vic-tims for the first stunt were En-sign Strong. 2nd Lt. Younghans,Jane Moye Sp(Y»3c, Harriet Rob-erts Sp(Y)He. A contest developedto try and p.ove which officercould consume the most cold clam-my spaghetti in the shortest time.Jane and the Ensign emergedvictorious and won enough moneyto buy a fairly good stomach pump.

Nornia Metcalf AMMSc sang twofavorites, "It Had to Be Moon-glow" and "Embraeeabk You,"and thus repeated her successachieved first in the WAVE show.

A kissing contest involving thereturn engagement of Chief Nelsonand the debui of three newly-ar-rived Waves came next, followedby a hog calling contest. The pro-gram was concluded with somegood mountain music played byLt. W. R Nelson, Aby HalbrookA0M2c, West<?> Eifert S2c. GeorgeNess AMMSc

TRAINING PROGRAM IF W I O X f R S TOLD!

(This is the first of a series ofarticles on the art of boxing byBob Siebold Sp (A) le, VeroBeach boxing instructor.

Boxing, a headliner in physicalfitness. That is actually the placeboxing occupies in our physicaltraining program. Here at Verowe are fortunate to have all thenecessary facilities for the sport ofboxing-.

We nave an outdoor ring, fourpunching bag- platforms, two heavybags in the ring:, and four ropepits in which to skip rope. Withthis system we can handle ten box-ers at one time in workouts. Eachday our fighters go through theirroutine to fit them for actual con-tests. They must be able to runtwo miles daily, do many stomach,arm anad neck exercises. Theboxer here at Vero gets the train-ing- that money can't buy.

Boxing requires a great deal ofsincere training. It isn't a gamethat has two or more players tohelp out. It is a sport that putsyou on your own. An individualmay have all the necessary physi-cal gifts for boxing, speed, coordi-nation and power, but not use theseassets to fulul advantage. Youmust live a well disciplined lifewith ever uppermost in mind thethought -of keeping your body intop physical trim.

There is a proper sequence tolearnuingr how to box. By follow-ing daily lessons, a natural devel-opment results in a boxer, onethat cannot be rushed or acquiredin a hurry.

To al boxers here in Vero mayI ask you to take pride in your-self and pat your will and deter-mination in your efforts so thatyou may reach a goal not only to-day hut in days to follow. Balanceyour work mentally as well asphysically.

I suggest that all interested inboxing get in touch with me. Youwill be under close observation andguidance here and even if you arestarting from the bottom of theladder you will benefit by the ex-perience.

From time to time I will outlinethe special fundamentals of boxingin the Buccaneer.

Hugh Bigham, Corp I SMCR,has been named the Athlete ofthe Week tor his abiht) m theboxing ring and hib demotion tohard training. Bigham, ,a for-mer athlete at. North CarolinaUniversity, won the first boutof his career in the station smok-er Sept. 20.

While the first Buccaneer football contest ended in a five waxtie, there should be a championthis week. The first week fourdthe football experts picking a pigin a poke so to speak, but no'Vvthat they have had a chance restudy the comparative merits ofeach team in the nation's footba'1scramble, we should have a weeklychampion.

Last week's five winners whodivided the six cartons of cij,^were; E. C, Harris YSc, S/SfttHudson, George Eiley LichlitoiS2c, William Sargent MMS3c, \.W, Pierce AOM2c.

It is easy to take part in thecontest, just mark the football bal-lot according to your own idea ofhow each team will play. You havea choice of win, lose or tie. It takesbut a few minutes to mark yourchoices, and you can take all thetime you want in research if youdesire to become a scientific foot-ball picker.

Ballots must be placed in anyone of the green Buccaneer Newsboxes on station before 1100 Sat-urday. Their locations: Hangar,Mess Hall, Ship's Service, Dispen-sary, Ad Building and JOQ.

Softball Teams Win IDuel With Weather;

After a disconcerting start dueto hurricane warnings, suddenvisits by J. Pluvius and a fewother extra curricular impedi-ments thrown in the way, the FallSoftball league is settling downto normal.

Teams had a difficult time get-ting started as games were post-poned or washed out, but with fairweather the rule for the rest of thefall (according to Florida C of C)the league should take on steam.

Any day now the Athletic De-partment expects the players toTesume jawing at the "umpires andraising hob in general -with every•decision Tight or wrong. This is aliealtliy -sign for Softball on the•station. The teams play,as if theywere in a world series game eachday. Like true ball players theylove their base hits and will argueloud and long1 to get life on asingle.

As the better teams begin toemerge from the pack, games be-tween those trying for the top ofthe ladder will be spirited. Umpire'shave taken a stern attitude of lateand are putting- a word limit on theobjections. One of oar fiery youngflyers was the first to be groundedby an urap, He sizzled for daysover his ejection from the game,

Hugh Bigham s 22 year old Ma- |rine Corporal from Morganton, INorth Carolina, rates the Athleteof the Week for his fine perform-ance in the station boxing smoker jSept. 20. * • j

It was Bigham's first- bout in a'ring and he is given the palm forhis efforts and sportsmanship. Hedefeated Roger Perkens of Sea-man Guard in a good bout.

He played end for University ofNorth Carolina frosh team and jwas with the varsity one year be-1fore enlisting in the Marines. In |Morgantown high school, Bigham'was an all around athlete making Iletters in all major sports". He Iplayed fr6sh baseball at North Car- jolina but did not go out for basket-1ball. i

While boxing is new to him, he Ilikes the sport, believes it helps |him stay in shape so that he canresume his football career after thewar. He is considering adding box-ing to his sports program in col-lege when he returns to his studies.

"This is my first attempt at box-ing," said Bigham. "I like thegame because of the physical exer-cise involved. The daily trainingkeeps me in fine trim for my dutiesas -a Marine, and will help me |after the war- when I return to theuniversity and take up footballagain."

but all is peace and harmony onceagain on the Softball diamond.
