Coach Floyd Wilson, although predicting that "we'll improve over last year," admits that this season's unit is "farther behind in progress as a team than any other squad I've ever had."

After Luzon was secured, 38 major and minor landings were launched in 44 days, a record for amphibious operations unlikely ever to be challenged. If U.S. troops paid for their victories (761 killed in Mindanao), the Japanese overpaid staggeringly for their defeats (25,000 killed in Mindanao...
