         Competition--Company 70A com-
        pleted  the  regular  intra-division
        volleyball  competition  with  three
        smashing victories over Companies
        66A,  78A  and  86A.  This  enabled
        70A to take  its place  at the  top  of
        its division and also  to  be  the only
        undefeated team in the entire  RMS
        tournament.  The  team's  play  fea-
        tured  a  tightly-knit  defense  and  a
        smashing  offense  led  by  Brayford,
        Chapin  and  Liesenbeni.  Its  record
        of  370  points  scored  against  170
        points for their opponents gives an
        indication of the type of ball played
        by  the  team.  Not  to  be  outdone,
        70B  came  through with  a  decisive
        shellacking  of  66B  to  remove  the
        latter as the lone other claimant to
        an  undefeated  record.  Playoffs  for
        the  championship  will  start  early
        this  week.
