The recent appointment of Mike
Prokopiak as Post athletic director, is another big step forward in
the development of the fine sports
program under way at White
Sands Proving Ground. Mike has
had quite a bit of experience in
the field of sports and as a physical education instructor. We can
all help Mike in his new job by
taking part in the Post Athletic
program, and getting behindl the
Rocket teams. Good luck, Mike.

At a meeting of softball team
managers last week, plans were
dbcussed for the coming season,
and though a few problems were
settled, a lot more could have been
done. Sgt. Louis Hirte, league director, has a big job on his hands,
and the team managers' could
make it a lot easier by giving him
their opinions, lboth criticisms· and
suggestions, on 'Problems that will
arise oi' have risen. A definite interest was ind!icated, by the number of · teams represented, and
with a little hardworj{, this year's
league could be the best yet.
It looks as though. sore arms
may hurt the Rocket nine in their
next few games. Practically all
of the pitchers, ,and a few of the
outfielders, arc nursing bad arms.
Bob William~. sl ugging first baseman, may be slowed down for a
while, too. Williams sustained a
couple of strained muscles in his
back, and wil1 have to take it
easy for a while.
The Rockets next games arc
March 30 and 31 at Silver City.
Lt. Novman Stout, assistant
Special Services Officer, is on
the lookout for a "super athlete."
One who can swim the 220 yard
free-style run the mile, and fire
"expert" with the pistol. If anyone feels man enough to tackle
this monster, which is calledi the
Triathlcn, contact Lt. Stout at
3237. If someone qualifies, he will
be sent to Fort Sam Houston,
Texas, to train for an Olympic
berth in this event.
If the weather continues to be
the way it is now, and it will from
all indications, the April 15 proposed opening date for the Post
swimming pool won't be any' too
soon. The crew assigned to the
pool can be seen working every
day, and if nothing happens, most
of us will be swtmming on April
15. (I say most of u s, !because
some, like myself and: "Barto"
Wilson, wrll be wading.)

Post Tennis Team
Hosts Texas Western
The Rocket tennis team will
hold its first home match of the
yeat· April 7, when they meet
the Texas Western Miners here.
The team will be seeking their
first win of the year, after suffering two set-backs and one tie.
The Rockets split with Sul Ross
College in their first outing, but
took a walloping from the same
team the following day. Last
week at El Paso, the team was
white-washed by the Miners from
Texas Western. The match should
prove to be a fine one, as the
Rockets will be seeking revenge
.for the first meeting.
Coach Butch Long has named
his first five rnen, with three slots
still to be decided. Long is the
number one man, with Bill Gensler, Dan Singer, Harry Chee, and
Nathaniel Davis following in that
order.
Long said that three slots are
still open, and anyone who
wishes to compete may do so. Interested persons may contact him·
at 4181.
Starting time for the Ap1il 7
match is 2:00 p.m.

seen the bkissoming tree in back
of the Dental Clinic. I hadn't, so I
wandered over to see it and found
out it was an Alberta peach tree.
Sfc. John Jones is the man with
the green. thumb over there. . .
he was raised on a Georgie peach
tation . . . and he's very eniastic about growing things .
•
a result, the Post Di&penseyy
has 13 poplar and weeping willow
trees around it, which Sfc. Jones

on George Washington's Birthday. There's also a bedi of pinks in
back of the Dispensery. 'fhc Dental Clinic also boas1s a watcrmellon patch, flower beds and! a
