sels, and that medals already had
been pinned on most of the skip
pers participating in the running
epic of submarine destruction.
Elsewhere in the Cloudbuster
will be found additional informa
tion about the heroic work of the
men on the Card; the football
game, witnessed by 2,500 fans,
mostly Naval Personnel, can be
told, in part, here.
The winners, present leaders in
the Sports Program, scored their
first touchdown midway the second
quarter when Cadet R. J. Masco-
lino went through center and ran
30 yards to score. Cadet Schroth
kicked the extra point.
The final touchdown came in the
fourth period when Schroth went
over from the eight yard line.
Coach of the ship team was
Lieut. J. T. Kimbriel, USNR, who
was at one time attached to this
station as Battalion Officer.
Concerning his football team,
Coach Kimbriel told a Cloud
buster reporter that they had
been working out for the past five
weeks, mostly at night.
“Our practice sessions were
limited to the ship with the excep
tion of two days when we were at
Casablanca,” Kimbriel informed
the Cloudbuster. “Our biggest
trouble at first was the loss of foot
balls from the deck of the carrier.
We lost 10 before our trainer made
us one out of canvas.”
Until the game with the Marin
ers the Card eleven had not worn
shoulder or hip pads before.

of Naval Air "Primary Training
since the fall of 1942.
Under his leadership the Naval
Air Primary Training Command
has done an admirable job in co
ordinating the primary training
functions of the naval aviation
program. Only recently the func
tions of the Command were ex
panded to include operation of the
Navy’s 17 Flight Preparatory
Schools and 90 CAA-War Train
ing Schools, in addition to the five
Pre-Flight Schools and 14 Naval
Air Stations devoted to primary
flight. Inclusion of these Flight
Preparatory and CAA-WTS units
under NAPTC ii^tegrated the en
tire naval air primary training,
system under a single jurisdic
tion.
Admiral Buckmaster was
awarded the Distinguished Serv
ice Medal for services as Com
manding Officer of the Yorktown

May 4 to May 8, 1942. He was
