46 - Gene Mast Captain Navy Champions




 





SUGARCREEK - Gene (lefty) Mast, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.H. Mast of Sugarcreek, is making quite a name for himself in naval athletic circles in Hawaii.  Most, one of the classiest passers ever to show at Hawaii, is Captain of the Submarine base basketball team which won the Base Championship when it defeated the Camp Catlin Bulldogs.

During his 18 months in Hawaii, Mast has led the basketball team to the Championship, qualified in the Base Golf Tournament and has been taking tennis lessions from Bobby Riggs, former National Champion.  The former Sugarcreek-Shanesville star will be discharged from the Navy on or about June 1st.  At present he is a Seaman First Class and is handling athletic equipment.
