Navy's ball handling was fishy and competent. In contrast to Shepard's double pivot attack, Coach Ben Carmevale pan his team from 8 fast arias cross well out from the basket, taking advant age of both the spend and shooting of his captain, Dave Mullaney.

The Air Force also had eleven groups of other bombers (about 330 B-29s and B-50s), and some 33 groups of heavy and medium reconnaissance, fighter, troop carrier and other miscellaneous aircraft...
