16 OCTOBER 1964 FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK (Conlinrted from PaR e 2 ) tfle backboards are in place, and the new deliv- e ry d a te has been moved back to · November 1. A s i de from a few alterations, such as replacing an e lectrical outlet in the middle of the basket- ball cou r t (who thought of putting one there we c o ul dn't tell you) the new gym looks ready to go. It ha d better be; the Coast Guard Academy is coming a ll the way from New London for a basket- ball gam e on December 11 and it would be em- barrassi ng, to say the least, to have to play the game in the outer gorge. · Mar itime First: Owing to the exceptional controversy which has arise n over the forthcoming Presidential and New York Senatorial elections this year the Porthole ha s decided to conduct a \straw pole\ of its own. W hen the rest of the nation goes to the polls on N o v ember 3, so also goes Maritime. A secret b all o t election will be held and we will see if Mari- tim e a grees in its choice with the rest of the nation. See you at the polls on November 3. . SOCCER SQUAD OFF TO IMPRESSIVE START The Ma r itime College Soccer team split i ts first two contests last week a s they lost to Queens 2 - 1 and be at Danbury State by an identic a l sc or e . In the fir st game, played against Quee n s a t N ewport Fi e ld, the Priva;r-er s p ut on an ex . cep- tional defensive e xhibition, but bowed to a s t ron g and quick Queens offense . Th e first goal of the game was scored against Maritime on a pe na l ty k ic k early in the second qu art er . A ha r d shot ball boundin g off t he arm of one of the Mari ti me d e f e nd e rs s e t up the play an d th e s co re for Queens at the half stood at 1 - 0. Queens got off to a f ast start in the third frame and n otched the score at 2 - 0 within fiv e mi- nutes of the kick off . B oth teams were held sc o r el e ss until Dick Dreyer pum p e d in a score from the left si d e aga inst a surprised Queens defen s e. The story was almost exactly reversed at Danbury on Saturday. Earl Stu a rt started things off with a tally early in th e first quarter w hi l e John Wilkins put the winnin g point a c ross later in the game on an assist from Stuart which pro v e d to be the winning margin . Cre dit should also be given to Dave Van Brunt who played a magnificent game as goalie . With t h es f two games under its belt , th e Maritime squad looks and feels muc h b e tter than last year at thi s t im e. Th e t e am has unde~gone s om e profitable changes since last year and has several pr o mi sin g fourth class- men coming upt h r oughtheranks. The squad f a re d very well in two pre-seas on scrimmag e s. They scored a 2 - 0 victo r y ov e r N,assau Comm un i ty Colleg e ; fou r days later, they battled Columbia to a 0 - 0 tie in an e x c itin g de- fense battle . All in all, the Maritime squad shapes up pretty well with the first string including all return- ing veterans. Among them are Tom Malanchuck, Dick Dreyer, Earl Stuart and George Sandberg on the line; John Wilkins, Terry Thompson, Paul Mason, and Dave Sheridan at the half - back posi- tions, and Skip Pendzick and Tom Flynn at the full-back positions. Returning to the squad as goalie i s \HANDS\ Van Brunt. Of all these returning veterans, one vet who cannot return, and who is sorely missed is Gary Meyer. Because of being a mem- ber of another college team be- · for e he c am e here, he is inele- gible to play in his remaining two years here. Dateline - Newport Field, Oct . 7 - U.S.C.G. Academy bests Maritime by 6 - 0 score. The forces of Coach Robert Vanderwarker- ran into their strongest opposition today as the privateers met the soccer squad from the Coast Guard Academy on Newport Field . Despite the home field advantage the Mari- time squad was simply outplayed man for man, and as a result Coast Guard went home the vic- tors by a 6-0 slate. This was the first game of the current campaign in which the privateers seemed to be outclassed on the soccer field and the final score certainly does indicate that something was missing. The loss can't possibly be traced to lack of support, as the regiment turned out in for c e for the contest with the invaders · from New London. They'll always be a next year but this victory alone would have made a successful campaign in the minds of all team members. (ed. note - Don't worry; Coast Guard will b e back. Basketball game with Coast Guard is sche- dul e d to be played here in the middle of December. Oarsmen Break Course Record The Mari t im e C ollege rowing team, r a cing on the European circuit f o r the first time in two yea rs defe a ted the Ro y al Danish Na v y , and the Ro y al Dutch Navy, to mai nta in the same form that hel ped t h em overpower Kings Poi nt earli e r i n the year. On J racing in fast boats, crew coxsw ained b y Tony Savas j umped to an earl y length lead and never lost it. Stroked by Tom Allen and Dave Van Brunt, they maintained a pace at 39, racing past the Empire State finishing one and a half lengths up. At the traditional victors \toss oars\ the crew was greet- ed by a blast from the ship's whistle. Sitting behind the strokes were Peter Piaseckyj, Wally Els- ton, Jim Seybold, Tom Flynn, Bill Carroll, and Jim Brennan. The Danish Navy took second, with Bill Sibbern's crew in third place, over the one kilometer course. The winning time was 5:45. On Jul y 20, in Amsterdam, the Maritime oarsmen once a g a i n proved themselves superior to the European as they outclassed a Dutch Navy crew. These races were run in 2 heats w i th two Dutch crews and one FonSchuy- (Continued on Pa!!e 8) PORTHOLE locker Ro0111 By TOM ALLEN Why sports? Physical fitness campaigns are nothing new. Be- fore his presidency, Woodrow Wilson, working as a Princeton professor, wrote an essay en- titled the \Spirit of Learning.\ He startled many of his contem- poraries by saying sports should be put on an equal footing with intell e ctual cours e s in schools. Written at the turn of the c e n- tury, nobody took this seriously unti l the las t s ix years. Sports n ot only aid the d e - velopment of the body, but also the mind. Quarterbacks today have the minds of generals as they move their highly-trained · units down the field for a touch- down. Baseball's catchers must be - mindful, moving outfielders a step to the left or right for different hitters. It is not suf- ficient any more for · runners to simply go out and run their fas- test; they must have a pre-race strategy and when their bodies become exhausted. their mind must be disciplined enough to finish the race according to plans. The old axiOf!l of ''Being a good loser\ is even more im- portant today. Themodernworld is full of competition and each individual must learn to lose as well as win. This can be taught early in life through par- ticipation in athletics. Aside from learningwhllepar- ticipating in these activities, many individuals have found that exercise in the afternoons ( 1545- 1645) makes evening study con- centration much simpler. Two recent graduates, Phil Lund and Vince Cox both successfully com- pleted their gruelling license seminar and at the same time, earned Varsity letters in Cross Country. Need I add any more than •· A sound mind is a sound body.\ JUDO Maritime 99 - Newark o. This was the score by which the Priv- ateers defeated their only col- legiate rival last year, A sch~ uled match against West Point was to take place shortly after, However, after ooticing this score, the cadets(whodon'tfancy broken bones) suddenly had a pre- vious committment. Practically the entire team is returning this year led by Chuck Brader, 2fc, Milce Cross, 2fc, George Sacco. 3fc, Bob Stitch, 3fc, Jim Brennan, 3fc, and the president of the judo Club, \Judo joe\ Boykin. A tremendous turnout by the Fourth Class shows a definite growth in the club which was started just a couple years ago • . Many more matches have been planned for the coming year. The club has offered matches against other collegiate teams in the local area such as West Point, Columbia, NYU, CCNY, Fordham, Hofstra. and a rematch with Newark, The club also defeated the Tre- mont School of judo and the New York Athletic Club. A special distinction went to Chuck Brader and Mik~ Cross for going to the quarter-finals of the Eastern Collegiate Mass International Championship. Achievements Awards were given to Chuck Bracer for the best judo technique, to Chuck Boykin ior jiu-jitsu and karate technique, and the award for being the most improved mattman was given to Mike Cross, Other judo clubs are spreading the word throughout the metropolitan area -Beware of Maritime! If you're one of those who thinks that '\'!bey don't make Athletes like they used to,' ' take heed of this not e in th e October Reader's Digest: Of al l olympic track or field champions prior to 1932, not one could even qualjfy for a place in this year's games on the basis of his winning per- fonnaace. Amsterdam Hosts Pershing Rifles Company P-B's growing repu- tation was further enhanced on th e international level this past sum - mer as it perform e d on the cruise. The initiall964 European trick . drill demonstration was presen- ted on e summer evening at the Tivoli . Gardens in the heart of Copenhagen. No member of the team will easily forget the con- ditions under which the perfor- mance was held. There was a steady rain, the drill floor was dirt .and the uniform was dress whites. Even with these unfa- vorable conditions the demon- stration will always be thought of as quite an experience. P Company did not receive a great deal of rest after its Co- penhagen debut. The next port of call was Amsterdam, Holland, and once again the services of the trick drill team were in de- mand. This time the dr1ll floor was the central town square and the demonstration was at high noon. The performance, the first time through was a bit hurried and was not as precise as it should have been. At what we thought was the conclusion of the ceremonies, the mayor of Ams- terdam requested that C ad e t = Schicchi, 1/c lead the trick drill team through a performance again. P Company was only too happy to oblige and they came through with flying colors. The entire 8-minute routine was flaw- less and the OJtch people were left with a perfect impression of what a good drill team looks like. For the Pershirig Rifles. this concluded the activities of the 1964 cruise. Fromheretheplan- ning for the coming school year went into action. There will undoubtedly be the usual collection of drill meets both local and away. P Co~pany will be out to win the Coast Guard Academy meet again this year and keep the first place trophy that goes to the overall winner. Also on the coming schedule should be an invitation to per- form at half time of a New York Giant's football game later this fall. Combine these with a trip up to Cornell and one or possi- bly two to Boston and the P.R.'s will be in for a very happy year. The major objective of the Persh- ing Rifles will be to bring home more trophies than they did last year and last year they brought home H. I By The Lee by Bob Brown 1 - = The sailing squadron has once again resumed its busy schedule under the capable guiding hand of Cdr. H.A.Clark. Much can be said about this man and in the squadron's ..:yes, he is tops. It has been under his influence that the sailing squadron has grown to what it is today and reached its high standing in the sailing circuit. Officers for the year include B.S. Zimmerm a n - Commodore, D.P. Chamberlain - Vice Com- modore and Sailing team captain, P.W. Boardman - Rear Com- modore, R.S. Brown - Secre- tary and C.J. Sheeha!l - Treas- urer. This year's Shield's Class skippers are Bruce Z immerman, Rich Evans, . Richie Cook, Phil Boardman and Dave Cham- berlain. The Maritime College Sailing Team is one of the most active teams in the school. They race every weekend from the 26th of September until the 8th of December and resume on the lst of April until the 8th of june. The squadron spends the early spring months getting the boats painted and varnished for the coming season, The meets are held at various schools but mostly at Kings Point and Annapolis because of their excellent facilitie s . There we meet Navy, KP, Coast Guard, Arm y , Fordham,Marist, Prince- ton, Cornell, Columbia and Webb among others. These meets are sailed in lnterclub Dinghies,Ganets, Tech. Dinghies, Yawls and our own Shields sloops. Last Year Mari- time had one of the top records in M.A.l.S.A. (Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Associa- tion). We all can thank Annie the carpenter for the fine job done on the new dingy shed. This is a big improvement over our old methods of stowage. We are hopeful for some new floats and eventually the new Waterfront Activities Building which will be built near the College Club to round out our facilities. In the next couple of weeks the sails will be back on our still not named schooner. As most of you know we were given. this fine craft last spring t.•.tt: must change her name. At any rate some weekend sailing will soon get under way. A picture of the schooner under full sail appears on the last page of the new Circle K calendar. The Fourth Class is invited to join the squadron by contact- ing Cadets Buemi, 3/c,orCharn- berlain, 2fc, or showing up at the pier in the afternoons. Harriers on the Move Harriers on the Gol by Steve George The Cross Country season is here and once again Coach Twome y is at the helm of the Maritime Team. The team lost its top men from last year's squad with grad- uation taking Phil Lund, Vince Cox , John Hayes, and Randy Web- er¢ and last y ear's number one man, John Clauson, transferri.Qg to another college.
