During the period 1950-59,the Naval
Academy Football teams won six games
from the Army, lost three and tied one,
defeated Mississippi in the Sugar Bowl
in 1955, and Rice in the Cotton Bowl
in 1957. During this same period the
Academy had fine teams in other sports.
This was brought about by a wellargan
ized effort which was paid for the
most part by the Naval Academy Athletic
Association.
In 1958 the Eastern College Athletic
Conference invoked a ruling which pro
hibited institutions from supporting,
directly or indirectly, scholarships
in preparatory schools. This meant
that'the Naval Academy Foundation had
to assume the responsibility of raising
money to contribute to the preparatory
schools who awarded these scholarships,
which had previously been paid for by
the Athletic Association.
Ihe Association needs nearly $850,
0,Q0 a year, over the appropriations
received from Congress, to carry out
the extensive program of the Academy -
this amount must be raised from atten
dance at football games as this is the
only sport that makes a profit. Rev
enue from the football games does not
meet the need.
One of the service rivals has a
trust fund of, $1,750,000 (with $3,000,
000 as its objective ), others admit to
varying amounts that give them upwards
of $125,000 a year to use. It should
be apparent from these figures, that a
large amount of money must be contri
buted to the Foundation if we are to
field winning teams.
For information on how you may con
tribute and become a member of the
Foundation you may write to:

Everyone who knows the thrill of
having Navy forge ‘ahead in a game
against Army or other rivals will want
to contribute. Remember contributions
are tax free.

With the departure of the Southwest
| Field Food Service Team "B" from Adak
members of the Commissary Department
j expect to improve the General Mess
Operation to an even greater degree
thanks to the many suggestions and
training afforded them by the team.
The team conducted "on the 'job"

improvement was needed. Formal and
informal instructions and'demostrations
were given in meat,and vegetable cook
ing, general mess administration menu,
planning, operation of equipment, pre?
paration of’salad items, sanitation,
food service and conservation, all
aimed at providing Adak personnel, with
the best "chow" possible. V
A thank you to CWO Tyson-Edalgo and
the members of his team.
