And with the first major influx of WAVES into Pacific Northwest naval establishments came informa- tion to the Office of Naval Officer | Procurement, 117 Marion Street, Se- attle, that the Women’s Naval Re- serve will be enlarged far beyond | all original plans 1 In announcing the plans for ex- pansion of the enlistment program, Procurement officials also disclosed | that some modifications have been made in the requirements. Young women who have completed twul years .of high school or business college and who have demonstrated an ability to rapidly adapt them- selves to various situations now wils | be given consideration for the ' WAVES and also the SPARS, the | Coast Guard counterparts of the | Navy women. | While there were but three or four classifications for enlisted person- nel in the WAVES at the start of the program last summer, today | there are more than two dozen open for the women who enlist. These places range from office work to aviation mechanics. The women are trained in various colleges through- out the United States as storekeep- ers, meteorologists, communications experts, hospital corpsmen, pharma- cists, etc. And both the WAVES and SPARS when assigned to a station replace a man who immediately becomes eligible for sea duty. More than 150 WAVES wili report for duty in Seattle within the next few weeks. The majority will be stationed at Sand Point Naval Air Twenty WAVES will join the three already working in Com- | munications at Naval Headquarters. Assignments in Procurement, Pub- | lic Relations and Naval Library at Pier 41 have been given to four re- cently enlisted WAVES. —————— valuable because of | Aluminum, Thought perhaps you'd like a respite from all those war pch‘,el..

Lieut. W. O. Earl of Buckley Field, | Denver, had to turn out drivers that | fast to keep the Buckley Field war | wheels moving. He designéd a circular driving| range, about a quarter mile in| length, that gives a student the| thrills of a long cross country run | plus the headaches of city driving all within the space of a few min- | utes. The student takes one of the | army’s big trucks, in soldier slang | a “six by six,” over, around, through and across deep gullies, plowed |ground and other hazards that would upset any passenger car that anempted the trail.

Their most | important instruction is obtained ‘on the parking, signaling, backing, starting and stopping range. “On that range we emphasize safety and care of equipment, which is the fundamental purpose of the driving school. “In addition to field work, the drivers must study two or three hours a day, between trips, to fam- iliarize themselves with state and city laws. They have to study maps of Buckley Field and of the city of Denver so they can take people or cargoes safely and by the shortest route to their destinations.” Hundreds of drivers are needed at Buckley. They weren't available so the Army started hiring civilians. Mostly they are young fellows be- tween high school and draft age. Soon women probably will be em- ployed. In tests, they have proved as able a8 men, even on heavy trucks, says Earl.

STANFORD IS HIT BY WARPINCH ‘two others with partial experience, | | | Hoop Champions ! in Service By RUSS NEWLAND AP Features PALO ALTO, Calif. — Collegiate like all other sports, is ditions, and the best illustration in the Pacific Coast Conference is provided by Stanford which has lost three-fifths of its national championship team. Absent from the 1943 Stanford varsity squad willl be co-captains Don Burness and Bill Cowden, and last season’s sensational sophomore forward, Jim Pollard. Burness is in naval aviation; Pollard enlisted in the coast guard, and Cowden is working in a war in- dustry. Their departure caused Coach Bverett Dean to revise his style of play. Much of the board play made . possible by such tall shot makers as Burness and Pollard has | been sacrificed in the interests of ball control and speed. Replace-| ments are nof:of the bean pole| variety. Pollard was the second highest ccorer in the southern section of the conference with 121 tallies, and | he teamed with Burness at for- vard and Cowden, guard, to total 294 points of the 520 which thel Indians looped in while winning be sectional title. The team went on from there to take the league title, then the National Collegiate A. A. crown. The two starting regulars re- !is a tough loss. Two boys who played long enough to win letters last season, Jack | Dana and Fred Linari, will try to fill the shoes vacated by Burness! and Pollard. Dana looked good i while relieving in the N.C.A.A. play- loffs, and Linari turned in a top job when he succeeded ailing Pol- lard in the championship game with Dartmouth.
