Though soundly beaten by Cornell and by the Melville team, the Sub Base will field a formidable and very heavy squad, with linemen of 224 and 235 pounds each and a fullback who tips the scales at a mere...
...little ships stuck to their picket line, and the men stuck to their guns. They set a world's antiaircraft record by shooting down 490 planes during the 82-day battle.
