National Distillers Products Corp. New York The American Legion Magazine — . Evicted from her home in Portland, Maine, a young British war bride, Irene Cody Heatley, commented: "I suppose it really doesn't make much difference as long as you have to lose your home in some way. But at least when we were blitzed in London we weren't worried about it in ad- vance." By Harold Heifer. THOSE CRITICAL VETS WILLIAM WYLER, top Hollywood di- rector and ex-lieutenant colonel in the AAF, learned one lesson in service: don't let a GI or vet catch you in a mistake on military detail, no matter how slight. So when assigned to Samuel Goldwyn's ma- jor film drama of returning veterans, "The Best Years of Our Lives," he took special pains to insure accuracy. For instance, the script at first specified that Dana Andrews' decorations as an 8th Air Force captain-bombardier should include a British DFC. A recheck dis- closed it was unlikely he should have such an award, so it was eliminated. Andrews' uniform was actually tailored at Hobson's in London, much patronized by Army fly- ers during the war. Even the serial num- ber on his B-4 bag (9-727090) was authen- tic; it belonged to a bombardier on the Memphis Belle. In the film Fredric March plays a Ser- geant of the 25th Infantry Division, so it was fitting for him to have the Bronze Star. Purple Heart, Good Conduct Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Ribbon, Victory Ribbon, combat infantryman's badge, and, on the right breast, the Distinguished Unit Badge. But it took a special phone call to Wash- ington to find the proper position for his Philippine Liberation Ribbon. Then there is the war-weary B-17E on which they hitch a ride to their home town. In some dialogue Andrews describes it as a plane that shuttle-bombed between Italy and Russia. It took three weeks' research to determine that it should therefore be of the 416th Bomb. Sq., 99th Bomb. Gp., 5th Bomb, wing, 15th Air Force. More digging disclosed that the proper tail markings would be a diamond with a "Y" and the Roman numeral IV beneath.

    Records and History Old Dominion University Baseball 2009 Old Dominion University Baseball 2009 27 BUD METHENY n Jan 2, 2003 Old Dominion University and the athletic program lost a legend with the passing of Bud MethenyO and his wife Fran on the same day. Bud spent 32 years at the University from 1948 to 1980 as an instructor, basketball coach, athletic director and coach of the baseball program. Baseball was his passion, and where he made his mark. As a member of the New York Yankees from 1937 to 1946, Bud played on the 1943 World Series championship squad that stopped St. Louis. Bud started for the Yankees in the second and last game of the series. As a coach of the Monarchs, he rolled up a 423‑363‑6 record and was honored by the NCAA as the Eastern Regional coach of the year in 1963 and ‘64 and National Coach Of the Year in 1964. His Monarchs won the NCAA College Division Eastern Regional championship in 1963 and 1964 and took second in 1965. Bud not only coached baseball, but he was the men’s basketball head coach from 1948‑1965, compiling a 198‑163 record and posting 16 winning seasons. He served as the University’s athletic director from 1963‑1970. Following his retirement it was only fitting to honor Bud with the naming of the new baseball stadium in 1983 and with the adoption of the blue and white pin stripes of the Yankees on uniforms the following year, which coincides with the University’s new school colors, adopted in 1986.

  • Oral History Interview with ARTHUR B. METHENY Norfolk, Virginia May 29, 1975 by James R
    Oral History Interview with ARTHUR B. METHENY Norfolk, Virginia May 29, 1975 by James R. Sweeney, Old Dominion University Sweeney: Today we’re continuing the interview with Mr. Arthur B. "Bud" Metheny, for many years the baseball coach and former chairman of the department of health and physical education at Old Dominion University. Starting with question 111 here, by 1964 you seemed in public statements to see a change for the better coming in the college’s athletic policy as plans were being formulated for a new physical education building with a 10,000 seat gymnasium. You also indicated a possible change in the school’s "no athletic scholarships" policy. I wonder why such changes came about in the administration’s attitude? Metheny: Well, in 1960 I wrote the first letter investigating the possibility of having our new building. And it took us 10 years to get it. We got in it in 1970. And we were doing well in baseball, and the students wanted to move up in the grading of the entire program. That was their request, and in the editorials in the newspaper and things of that type. And so we started investigating the possibility of moving up in athletics, which we did in getting into the Mason— Dixon. And with the demand of the newspapers and the public we thought that we were about ready to move up in the field of athletics. So we started making our preparations for that. And we knew that if we did move up and to be able to compete on an equal basis that we’d have to give athletic scholarships.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Forgotten Washington Senators of the 1950S ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    Forgotten Washington Senators of the 1950s ©DiamondsintheDusk.com “Washington: First in war, first in peace, and still last in the American League.” Baseball Hall of Fame sports writer Charley Dryden (right) coins the above utterance during the 1904 season, when the Washington Senators finished 38-113 and a distant 55 1/2 games behind the American League pennant-winning Boston Americans. For its first 11 years of existence, the luckless franchise in the nation’s capital does its best to live up (or down) to Dryden’s cynicism by finishing last, or second to last, in all but two of those 11 years. Even Washington’s entry into the ill-fated United States Baseball League in 1912, finishes in fifth place with a 6-7 record before the league ceases opera- tion in June. Forty years later, Washington’s “Boys of Summer” once again do themselves proud. From 1950 to 1959, the Senators finish as high as fifth only three times and seventh or eighth (in an eight-team league) six times, while going through three managers. Where in my previous “Forgotten” article, Pittsburgh’s 1960 World Championship team clearly had its genesis from some of the bad Corsair teams of the 1950s, Minnesota’s American League championship team in 1965, does not derive itself from the previous Forgotten Senators of the 1950s decade. Only five players (albeit five good players) - Bob Allison, Jim Kaat, Harmon Killebrew, Camilo Pas- Bob Usher, 1957 cual and Zoilo Versalles - played for the original Senators’ franchise. In regards to the Forgotten Sena- Jesse Levan, 1954-55 Carlos Paula, 1954-56 tors’ first team, I selected one player for each of the eight field positions José Valdivielso, Roy Dietzel, 1954 and a eight-man pitching staff.
