They claimed that they knock

The Imperial communiques

Included in the report was a

which was fleeing from Formosa.
The report is unconfirmed by
allied sources.
The communique recorded by
the FCC, reported that the Jap
pllpnas intercepted and ca|rtri|ed

ALEUTIAN
BASE ENJOYS
TENNIS COURT
AN ALEUTIAN BASE — They
| may never resemble the famed
Forest Hills layout, but the new
tennis courts placed in use late
i this summer on this island are
the best in the Aleutians—m
fact, they are the only ones.
Through the persistence of
three utilities section enlisted
men under the supervision of
Major Joseph V. Duncan of Ok
lawaha, Fla., two regulation size
courts have been molded out of
the tundra, complete with well
constructed backsteps and can
vas line markings.
The major contribution to the
final success was the continual
rolling of the ground done by
Cpl. Orlyn H. Schenck of Detroit,
Mich., and his two assistants,
Pvts. Edward M. Langeliers of
Pollock, S. D., and Arnold An
derson of St. Paul, Minn.
With Special Service furnish
ing plenty of equipment, the
courts have been in constant use
since the inaugural day.
A big tournament atmosphere
prevails as the courts are rolled
every hour, simply because the
playing surface is a fine volcanic
ash and footprints quickly take
on cavernous tendencies. A ball
hitting one of the footprints
would cut so many didos that it
would make a sober man doubt
that he was a teetotaler.
♦
The utilities gang is mow hop
ing for a cement surface and if
this is accomplished, then more
playing time will be available as
the courts could be swept off
and used immediately after one
of the frequent rains.
Who knows—maybe when the
post-war Bill Tilden is crowned,
he may state in an Interview that
he contributes a great share of
I his success to the experience '
gained while chasing a crazily
1 zooming tennis ball on this is-1
I I
land. Stranger things have hap
pened.
