Twenty-seven year old Captain Vincent F. Goodeeli, who went through seven battles in North Af- rica, fought in Italy front Septem- ber 21 to November 21, 18*3. and returned to the' United Sta.es wearing the Distinguished Serv- ice Cross and the Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster, has come to The Infantry School to attend the Officers Advanced Course.
The captain is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Goodsell of Good- hue, Minn. He is attached to the 1st Student Training Regiment’s 16th Company, commanded- by Captain Wesley M. Farrell.
Goodsell and hiS men 1 went through seven months of rugged •raining in Northern Ireland dur- ing 1942, training that later proved valuable, preparation for the hardships they were to under- go in combat. He commanded- a rifle company during the African and Italian campaigns.
In Tunisia, Captain Goodsell fought at Pichon, Rohia-Sbiba. Sidi-Nsit, Fondouk, the 1st and 2nd Battles of Hill 609. and at Chouigui Pass. "During the fights in- Hill 80$, ” he related, “one of my men captured a German rifleman. We interrogated him and found out that the Jerries wqre going to counterattack. But this advance tip helped us"; hold our position."
In Italy he came up against the German practice of digging-in dis- abled tanks and using them as forts. “One afternoon, .under a cover of artiUery_fire, we ayault-
ed a Jerry position with fixed; bayonets. But fire from enemy | tanks converted Into pill-boxes] drove, us bank,” recalled Captain Goodsell. ' . . ; . : ;/. !

DANCE SERIES, BLA BINGO PARTY, ST.

The YMCA USO, 1425 Third Avenue, presents a group of three dances for this weekend, two of them invitational. The i first one, March 10, is an OCS dapee spon- sored by the Beta Sigma Phi Sor- ority. ' j
On March 15 hostesses (from Col- umbus High School willj entertain an AS TP group in an invitational dance. ! -■
On the Saturday following, March 18, a tea dance fqr enlisted men will be held fronj .5 to 7, Benning time. Plans call for a St. Patrick motif in dtecoratiohs and refreshments. . ’ ■

Each -time I empty a startling collection of articles from the pockets of my small boy’s wearing
apparel, over his ; indignant . pro- tests, I become aware: of the kin- ship between us. For I, too, col- lect things— in their way as amazr ing as those small boy can bring home — and, like a small boy, I become indignant oyer the thought ' of parting with them once I have surrounded myself with them.
True, those things of mine have little intrinsic value. They’re most- ly odds and ends of second-hand pieces I've picked up to fill; tip the .quarters. They’re not even good second-hand pieces, but after liv- ing with them for a considerable period of time I find myself at- ■ tached to them.
.*
There is, for instance, the davenport I picked, u? at tflc Thrift Shop, with slip covers, for twelve dollars. I'm the only one who would ever truly ap- preciate such .a davenport, be- ing of. just the right shortleg- gedness so sagging springs al- low my feet to rest comfort- ably on the floor instead of •winging two Inches from the ground.
And there’s the rickety end tabic, formerly one of those tea carts so popular at one time. No one would buy it, no one would want it as a gift, but I’m attached to it. And I’m attached to it because it helps me remember its original owner, an army brat Who loved the gaiety of an army post In peace times, who is now bringing up two small sons while her husband serves overseas.
Much the same sentiment is at- tached to the chair left behind by
another army wife when she load- ed three children, a dog, and as- sorted household possessions into the car preparatory to following * her husband. , Or to the growing plant left in my care by a friend as she disposed of possessions ac- quired during many years of army life, preparatory to stepping into the unfamiliar role of a civilian.

X have other things which my instinct to hoard against a rainy day prevents me from discarding. There are - brown paper sacks, saved against the day when such things may be a rarity. Drawers bulge with bits of candles and assorted lengths of Jtring. First copies of The Bay one* and Yank hud- dle on the closet shell. I have bottles filled with- buttons, with nails, with rusty screw and bolts.
Priced among my collection . are clippings which someday 1 intend to paste into their proper scrap books. They range' from cooking' recipes, editorials, and news- of world importance, to pictorial rec- ords of baby’s progress from the time he' left the hospital until he ■ suddenly « grew out of babyhood Into an." overly energetic and ex- tremely dirty boy.
It is only when I think over the range and strength of my collec- tor’s instinct -that I begin to realize how strange are the ways of adults. Surely the ways of. a small boy, with his pockets full of sticks and stones, marbles .and nails, dead butterflies; and wilted Cowers, are no more odd than they ways of an adult who can’t resist pottery, antiques, or, as in my case, just plain junk. v

COL. SWAMPWATE ON SUNPRY THING
By S-SGT. TOM McDONAJJ)
“The raccoon totes the bushy tail , - The possum’s tail, is hare,
The rabbit has no tail at all Except a little bunch of hair.”
During - the course of literary history the records have shown that many of our artists have turn- ed'to literature after havipg failed to. attain immediate success in the former medium. As far as Private Sawgrass and myself could sur- mise this trend is ' the “raison d’etre” for the little verse quoted above which We found in Colonel Swampwateris desk this morning when we' were going through it looking for stray sticks of Ever- green Mint, pur favorite brand.
; “Did the 01’ Boy write this dit- ty?” queried Private Saw grass, as I proceeded to cram a choice piece of gum against my molars.
“No,” I said, "my guess is that it comes from the famous Uncle Bemos. stories by Joel Chandler Harris. OT T. P. probably remem- bers them from having heard them so much during his early youth.” “Gad-a-mighty, Sergeant! Do you reckon' he really had a youth? I've always looked upon him as being as old as the hills,” grinned Sawgrasv' ’ . 1
"He undoubtedly had a youth," I replied, “that is an established fact. Even “Methusalah” was young once.” ,
"I just wondered,” inused Saw- grass..

‘'Like most old sonthem gentlemen^ the Colonel pro- bably spent a good deal of his boyhood hanging around the.
; village general store listening to; the old timers disease the civil war and swap " stories. Next to local politics this was their most fruitful occupation.” “Reckon we-, could sort of get him talkin’ about literature when he comes in this morning? It would kill a lot of drpgging time,” asked Sawgrass. : ;
“I don’t see wAy not,” I replied, "you know how much he likes to expostulate about < himself. He's conceited as all get out."
“Well give it a try,” grinned Sawgrass.
• * .*
Wfaen the Ol’ Boy wandered in a few hours later we cornered him in our ' outer - office and “apple- polished” his ego for about five minutes. This resulted in our be- ing invited to accompany him into the “inner sanctuary” to continue our pertinerit banter.
"Sir,” j said, “Private Sawgrass and myself noticed that little verse on your desk while, we were clean- ing up in her and: it becaihe ob- vious that one of us had never heard it before.”
"It was me,” interupted Saw-

“I ain’t writ none myself,” ex- ’ planed Sawgrass. ' '. «. •' ' ’.
1 “That's a shame my boy,” out | commanding officer ; replied. “A , man should never, be guilty of I neglecting to do that, for as Bacon the famous English essayist has stated ‘writing maketh ah exact man’ and in my opinion an exact ; , man can go a tong way In. this ; man’s. army.” ,
• “Amen!” I added. . }
“I once knqwed a fellow' by the ' name of Ham, btit he wasn’t like ! Bacon. *He didn’t' write -nothin,’ couldn’t even sign his name;” said : ’ : Sawgrass. ■ 1
: "Er 'rrgr ga .heehaw!” gruffed .
the Colonel, as if he were trying to L clear his throat.
< . "There’s nothing like writing to
• develop! the brain,” I added.
“How! would you men like, to ! hear some of my own original , poetry?’! hsked the Ol’ Boy:
, "It would jbe utterly delightful!” we lied. Sawgrass would listen to anything in order to have an 1 outside chance of PFC. I was will- ing to expose myself for the sake of art. " .
“This, is a little poem I compoe- / ed last night while I was in a pen- sive mood. It reminds me of Tennyson, Sergeant, but you and . Sawgrass will no doubt compare it to the work ot Matthew Arnold. Listen carefully so=thaf you will be able to detect the exotic rhythm and rime scheme."
• •• *
!*The moon was shining brightly ■ , The rose* were in bud,
| The pigs were grunting lightly 1 As they wallowed in the mud.” ;
“You shore are a genius,, Col- ' onel," gasped Private Sawgrass. I 1 wish I could r put words together.
; like that! I’ can just sw the moonlight sweeping down over the hop pen and hear ’em grunting while they , drool at their slop. Pigs has always inspired me that way too, If I could write ppetry like that about ’em I’d be willing to give, up my ambition to make : PFC.”'
“You should try it, my boy. ‘ insisted the Colonel, “naturally your first attempts won’t have the polish and vigor of a full colonel’s, but then one has to make a be- j ginning in order to reach ah ob-'^ jective.” ' ■ „
“If you two will excuse me, Sir,
I said, "I wouTd like to return to my desk Und continue my reading in order to purify my mind.” . .
s“Art excellent idea, Sergeant. But what 'are you reading?!’ the Ol’ Boy questioned.
“Tolliver : and Smith’s “A Com- prehensive Survey of American Fertilirer ” ,1 replied.
Headline is last week’s “BAY- ONET” reads “Pants Haunt For- mer Owner,” Suggest it would have been quite appropriate to have maid “HaW In His Pants.”

Jinx Finoily Broken As Wheeler Team Is Beaten
Unbeaten In any of it* gtarts this season, the “Hoo- aier Hotshots” basketball team from the 21st Company, Third Student Training Regiment of The. infantry School, pat on e late! rally Saturday nirbt to defeat a determined team from Camp Wheeler by the acore of 46-45 at the Sports Arena,
This was the first athletic contest that a Camp Wheeler team has ever lost at Fort Benning. The game Saturday night was originally scheduled to be played between Camp wheeler and the Third Stu- • dent Training Regiment Rifles, but the latter team re- quested a substitution since they had a scheduled game for Sunday following.
The Camp Wheeler outfit led until late in the last quar- ter. The entire Wheeler quint functioned smoothly and did some very accurate shooting. With only seven minutes re- maining in the last period and an 11 point deficit against them, the 21st Company hoop- sters, with "Barrel” Lewis leading the way, started to pull out in fr-nt
Lewis, by far the outstand- ing player on the court Sat- urday night, shooting from every direction pushed nine
goals through the net for 18 points and high scoring hon- ors. Candidate Stohler dropped in 12 points for the 21st Com- pany to take second place on scoring for the game. Beck- er was high scorer for the vis- iting team with 10 points.
The 21st Company team has to its credit victories over three other Officer Candidate Companies, and an unofficial win over the Third Student Training Regiment Service Battalion team.

7th Armored Trio Set Scoring Pace For Loop
Anderson. Johnstad i
Anderson, Johnstad \%£% And Dotson Scored Over TOO Markers
By CORP. MEL WACKS
When the last ball rippled the nets plosing the 7th Armored Di- vision cage race recently, the rec- ords Showed a trio of Lucky dead- eyes shaking the cords for better than : 100 points. Oddly enough, none [of the “Century Club” three worejthe uniform of the 40lh .Tank Bn. tossers, division champs. The records told a ,lot of things. As the casting director for the girlie show said, ' “Let’s have a look at the figures:”
Ray Anderson, slim Division Hq Co. ace, icopped top scoring laurels with jll7 pointsin six outings, a fat average of 19-plus a game. 106 of his total were hooked from the floor jand 11 free throws completed the picture.
Playing in one game more than Anderson and pushing him all sea- son as the league’s most pro! if i. basket-bagger, Harvey Johnstad Ujl gangling lay-up star for the 31 si Tankers, fell -just three points shy Tz : of Andy's mark. Johnstad rang the bell for 54 twin pointers and six foul shots in racking 'up his to- tat of 114. He’s probably the most j unorthodox hardwood performer ’-• > we’ve ever watched but his very clumsiness makes Johnstad a hard guy !to stop. Plain poison under f- an opponent’s net, the court-crude Johnstad also proved valuable In receiving rebounds on the defense.
The durable pivot, in moving in- to big league stuff in The Infantry School league at center for the Luckies, maintained his pace. His average of 14 points in each of five times out made the Luckies a continual threat despite their poor record. His 22 markers against the 4th Infantry proved the kayo for the Raiders in the Luckies’ aanly TIS win to date. When the Luckies lost recently to the top- flight Eagles. 48-31. Ticco, Shan- non, Gabbianelli & Co. took a scor- ing back seat to Johnstad who grabbed off a heavy, though futile 19 for high honors.
Third “Century Clubb” member with 103 points In seven games Darrell Dotson was one good rea- son the 23rd Infantrymen won a playoff spot. The tall center aver- aged better than 14 tallies a game and rated pretty high in Coach ^ Artie Hunt’s book. Hunt consid- 8? .j ers Dotson as “6 ft. 2 in. of real v court class.”
Although the first round elimi- |A nation knocked the 23rd out of the title aspirations," the . records say that ioutfit, in scoring 399 points through the season, led all the rest in team totals. Surprise runner- up in this department with 380 was HH the seventh place Division Trains five, an outfit which got. off to so liM bad a start it coudln’t recoup but which- finished as one of the most formidable quints in the circuit.
Van Nieda Tallies 26 Points Despite One-Arm Shooting
Basketball’s Dizzy Dean, Stan (Whitey) Van. Neida,
. high scoring assistant coach of the Parachute School five turned in 'the greatest per- formance of bis brilliant ca- reer in a losing cause last Fri- day agafnst the Parris Island Marines in Augusta.
“Whitey” went into the Ma- rine fray sporting an injured left shoulder which, he suf- fered Wednesday in a game with the Fourth Infantry. A tip-off of what was in store for Van Neida came in the opening seconds of the game when he started to take a foul •hot with two hands and found he couldn’t raise his left army over shoulder level. He made the shot with one hand and for the remainder of the game he was forced io take all his set and foul shots with his right hand.
Midway in 'the second half he thrilled the crowd as he went off on an II point spree j io single-handedly cut a 16- \
point deficit to five points be- j fore the Leathernecks’ supe- rior height „gnd manpower asserted itself. Despite his in- jury the Blond Bullet clicked for points and gave Augus- ta care addicts a peek at the form that had made him the scourge of Benning.
TIS Rivals Meet At Sports Arena In One Of Season's Best Battles
By SGT. CHUCK VOORHIS
There’ll be a lot of shouting and a mess of good basket- ball out at the Harmony Church Sports Arena tonight and the fans who turn out to witness this all-important clash between the 176tK Infantry Spirits and the 6th Training Regiment Eagles will get a pretty fair idea of what is in store for them when these two teams battle in -the .play-off for The Infantry School League championship. . ' .
A play-off isn’t :a dead certainty but even a Jo.hn Fan who is kinda slow in the figger business could dope the Spirits as the second half champions. And that would mean a play-off because the Eagles (are the first half champs.

The first officers for the all- Negro 555th Parachute Infantry, have qualified as jumpers at The Parachute School at Fort Benning and joined their cadre of enlisted men for further training • of the volunteer chutists: On winning
their wigs, the officers received their coveted “wings” at a review before Brig. Gen. Bodgley’ Gaither, commandant of the Parachute School.
Sixteen enlisted men, the first colored paratroopers, qualified a few weeks ago and now are en- gaged in processing more volun- teers for their organization who are reporting to Benning for train- ing.
First Lt. Jasper E. Boss, Second Lt. Bradley Biggs, Second Lt. Clif- ford Allen, Second Lt. Edward D. Baker, Second Lt. Warren C. Cor- nelius and Second Lt. Edwin H. Wills bear the distinction of being the first among those selected to lead the new all colored 555th Parachute Organization to com- plete successfully the rigorous training of the Parachute $chool.
