Annapolis, Md. (AFPS) - Last season
at the age of 32, Wayne .Hardin became
the second youngest coach in Naval
Academy pigskin history. This year,
football / experts are• comparing his
squad with the great teams of 1954 and
•57, •
Voicing his • opinion about Hardin,
Navy's sports director John Cox says,
"No,coach ever ■stepped into a tougher
role than did Hardin when he replaced
Erdelatz, after Erdelatz had rejuve
nated Navy football with his ‘teams
named desire."'
Cox goes onto explain, "No Erdelatz
team aver exhibited greater determin
ation or 'desire' than Hardin’s mid
shipmen in their big wins over Rose
Bowl, champion Washington S.M.U. and
the Air Force Academy, Furthermore,
no Erdelatz team ever attained the
great heights that Hardin's squad did
when it climbed to the No. 4 spot in
national ratings , . . ."
Cox claims Hardin credits Navy's
success to "intangibles, like self
sacrifice, extreme loyalty, and the
players' willingness to give all-out
effort,"
Coach Hardin goes on to relate,
"It's amazing what these kids have
done. They really have bean dedicated
to doing a good job-andthey're getting
better each week. We don't feel we're
unbeatable by any stretch of the ima
gination, but as long as our players
keep playing up to their potential
game after game,it's going to be tough
to do,"
Cox concludes by stating, "Whatever
the formula may be for football suc
cess, Hardin, his coaches, and his
players seem to have found it."_

holding National Service or U.S. Gov
ernment life insurance policies are
being warned to keep beneficiary de
signations current.
The Department of the Army (DA), in
Circular 608-10 of Sept. 26,. 1960,
cites a case where a service member in
1948 designated his. mother and father
as beneficiaries and following his
subsequent marriage did not change the
designations. He was killed while on
active duty and, although he was the
father ofthree children, the insurance
was paid to his parents since they
were the last named beneficiaries on
record with the Veterans Administra*
tion (VA).
A policy holder of government life
insurance has the right to name anyone
he wishes as beneficiaryof his policy.
The DA concern, however, is that mili
tary personnel keep their beneficiary
designations current and that they are
always sure the names of the person or
persons they want their insurance paid
to is properly recorded with the VA.
Detailed information in connection
with such designations is contained, in
paragraphs 13 and 27: of AR 608-b. If
a member is not certain whom he has
designated as beneficiary he- should
complete DA form 9-336 .(change of Des
ignation of Beneficiary and/or Change
or Selection of Optional Settlement)
and forward this form, to the Veterans
Administration District Office, Post
Office Box 8079, Philadelphia 1, Pa.
