Mr. Delgado.

man's office, the commanding officer's office, you know, and I wasn't too at ease there either.

Mr. Liebeler.

Oswald did not go with you to Los Angeles on every other week or anything like that?

Mr. Delgado.

No, no. I went every week to Los Angeles.

Mr. Liebeler.

Every week?

Mr. Delgado.

Yes; every weekend that I was off, you know, roughly three weekends a month.

Mr. Liebeler.

But Oswald only accompanied you on one occasion?

Mr. Delgado.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

You don't know of your own knowledge of any other times that he went into Los Angeles?

Mr. Delgado.

No. The only outstanding thing I can remember was that Oswald was a casual dresser. By that I mean he would go with a sport shirt, something like that, and this particular instance he was suited up; white shirt, dark suit, dark tie.

Mr. Liebeler.

You told the FBI that Oswald enjoyed classical music; is that right?

Mr. Delgado.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

And that he would often talk at length about the opera; is that correct?

Mr. Delgado.

Right. I tried to be a listener, but I wasn't too interested.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did Oswald seem to be interested in girls?

Mr. Delgado.

No; not to my knowledge. He didn't have a girl friend write him, I know that for a fact; he didn't have no girl writing; never went to a dance down at the service club; always by himself. And when we had no duty, him and I used to go to the show, you know, 9 times out of 10 I ended up paying for it.

Mr. Liebeler.

How about sports, did he eve,- show any interest in sports?

Mr. Delgado.

No. That is something I would like to bring up.

Mr. Liebeler.

Go ahead.

Mr. Delgado.

May I go on the record, because there was a statement I read in Life Magazine?

Mr. Liebeler.

Go ahead.

Mr. Delgado.

And it's erroneous.

Mr. Liebeler.

What did it say?

Mr. Delgado.

It is quoting a Lieutenant Cupenack, and he made a statement there in Life, last month, I believe it was. He made a statement saying he was Oswald's commanding officer, Oswald was on the football team. He was on the football team, that is the only true fact in the whole statement that he made. Also that he had a run-in with a captain that was on the football team, and because of this argument he went off the team.
To begin with, our company commander was a light colonel, lieutenant colonel. Lieutenant Cupenack was a supply officer. He seldom came in contact with Oswald, and when he did, it was only when Oswald was on details or when Lieutenant Cupenack had duty that particular night in the war room when Oswald was on. And as far as a captain being on the football team, the only captain we had was in the S-3 section where we worked, and he was too old to play football.
Lieutenant Cupenack played football. He was good. He was tackle. I remember I played against him plenty of times myself. And why Oswald left, I don't know. I don't think he went out, he just bugged out, it's what he wanted, and he had it for a while, and he just quit.

Mr. Liebeler.

He did come out for football though?

Mr. Delgado.

Right.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you tell the FBI agents about this?

Mr. Delgado.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did they ask about it?

Mr. Delgado.

No; I didn't tell them. I just couldn't see why a big agency like Life would not check into the story and let something like this, you know, get out. I mean it's all well, you know, to go along and believe what the fellow did, but bring out the truth.
