ft»ge 8 PORTHOLE iMMHi SPOTiU^MT Snce this is the last issue of the “ Porthole” for the 1963- 64 Academic Year, we wish to take this opportunity to thank each and every individual who has given his time and effort to write for the Marine Transporta tion page. We hope that those who have followed our columns and articles have gained an added in terest in the affairs of our Mer chant Marine and that those who are to follow in our footst^is will not only continue to do the same, but expand and exploit other fields that were not covered during the past year. It must be remembered that the courses given here at the Maritime Col lege cannot possibly give us everything that is needed in order for us to receive a well-rounded educaton in the Marine Trans portation field. Through the facil ities of the extra curricular activ ities, we can easily supplement any subject that may be of spe cial interest to us. It is there fore, the responsibility of e a ^ individual to take advantage ot what we have and make the best use of it, for they may be ttf special value to us sometime in our future fields of endeavor. Recently we received some information that will be of par ticular value to one of ourfaculty menbers. The Maritime Admin istration announced that it bad received bids of scrap prices for the great 20,700-ton Hner ARGENTINA, BRAZIL and URUGUAY. Built at Newport News, Va., in 1928-29 as the PENNSYL VANIA,, VIRGINIA and CAU- FORNIA, respectively, for the United States Lines* Panama- Pacific Line route between New York and CaUfomia, via the Pan ama Canal, they formed thefamed “Good NeiglilxK- Fleet*' of the Moore-McConnack Lines in 1938. Before entering; th^ Soitth American trade, each of the sis ter ships was modemize^L lost the. aft dummy slack and was fitted with a single massive stack. This trio was considered thefin- est ammig this coaiary*s troop ships during Wmrld War O. They were retired to the James River Reserve Fleet when Mooremack brongtc out their new liners BRAZIL at^ARGENTTlNA. When the big three were new, they were the largest liners built in the United States and they were the first liners to employ turbo-electric propnlsiaa. lihxil their retirement, they were three of the most popular andsnccess- ful liners in the American Mer- chaik Marine. With a little foreign flavor added to this colmnn. we wcndd like to mention that: the Swedish-’ American Line has ordered a nmr twin-stacked liner, addchwillbe larger and more streamlinfid than its present ships, GRDPSHOLM aid KUNHSHOLM. The new liner is expected to be built in a ship yard located in Scotland. Following the sale of the famotm 1932-fanilt LURLINE last year. Matson Lines has decided to rename the Matsonis to LUR- LINE. Tlnis she becamethefourth ship of Matson Lines tn bear this famous Mow- htalina Line's RA FFAELLO and MICHELANGELO and the Home Lines OCEANIC have been having construction delays. There now seems to be a very slim chance that the two Italian liners can make their sinml- taneous maiden voyages as ori ginally htped. Join the PARENTS ASSOCIATION HELP US HELP YOUR SONS FT.

((jUMtiKued from Page 6) no indicatian of diis, however. Two heats were nai off in better time than the finals of last year. Bettering last year's times by two tenths of a second were Warren Toms, and Dave Sweeny. The other heat, run with not tgiite. as much speed, but Just as much fury, was won by A1 Pendzlck. Tbare were five other qualifiers. When the dust finally settled, over the first day, the second class led with a total of twenty- two points, followed closely by the fourth class with twenty- one. The first and third classes both had four points. Second Day 'Diesday, 5 May 1964 Today was somewhat cooler, wfifa a s lig^ breeze. It was a perfect day for the track events, as was evidenced by four meet records being set. The after noon began with a throw off for second place in the shot-put. TUs was taken by Kesselman widi Elston faking third. The hundred-yard dash fol lowed. wifli a beautiful run by Toms, who wad for the second year in a row. He seemed to stretch his l^ s and just glide over the ground. In the process he s a a meet record with a tune of eleven seconds. There was a very close battle fw second, with Gene Swemey just nipping Dave Sweeney at the wire. Another repeat, and another recfwd fell in the quarter mile, as Dave Sweeney, pacing himself beautifiilly, was clocked in 57.9 seconds. Kirk Werner placed sBcfMoi. with Ra%fi Cantor a close third. The Half was taken in fine fashion by Ed Robinson, with BUI Lnckas. last year's fourth place finfehta-. placing a strong second. The third class entry. Rich Cooper, took third. The Classic distance, was run in classic style, as Gerry Cullen knocked thinee seconds off the school record for the mile, in teUng first {dace. Gerry smartly stayed off the pace as the first ^parter went off hi the very fast thne of sixty-three seconds. With abmt 220 yards to go in the race, Gerry nipped Joe O’Brien and was never headed. O’Brien took second with Allen of the Third class plachig third. The final record of a remark able afternoon fell in the 880 yard relay, as the third class team of Conau^Kon. Elston.

This was the team that had beaten us 17 to 4 the previous year. Our men played a great game but the- diversity and experience of the engineers proved to be too much. Leading by only two goals at half time, Aey went on to win it, 7 to 3. Farleigh Dickenson was the team’s next victim, bowing to Ae Maritime stickmen by Ae score of 13 to 8, wiA Bauem- feind contributing an amazing eight goals. This was Ae first time smee its mception that the team hit double figures. The glory was short-lived, however, as tenA ranked m Ae nation C. W. Post was nextonAe schedule. That was a game we’ll just have to chalk up to experience or posterity or whatever, since we were overwhelmed by Ae score of 14 to 2. After Ae game. Post’s coach was quoted as say ing that we were the first team that had been able to slow his team down. The ftaal game of Ae season saw Ae Maritime stickmen lose a heartbreaker to Nicholas Col lege, 10 to 8, A overtime. The score was 7-7 when Ae final gun went off but, Ae effort of Ae game and Ae long trip ip to Dudley, Massachusetts, the same motmng, proved to be too much for Ae boys to Ae ten mtaute overtime.

This question was an swered for all those who attend ed Ais year’s sports dinner by Mr. Daniel Lynch, aAletic di rector at St. Francis College.
