Nick names in the Navy are
common, but rarely is an Admiral
known chiefly by such a name.
Rear Admiral Joseph James
Clark, however, was asked once
by the Secretary of the Navy, at
a Press Conference, what his in
itials were, a? he knew him only
as "Jocko" Clark.
I The first flag officer of the
Navy to meet death In World
War II was Rear Admiral Isaac
Campbell Kidd. When the Japan

courageously directed the action
of his flagship ARIZONA, until
she was destroyed by magazine
explosions and a direct bomb hit
on the bridge, resulting in his
death.
Vice Admiral Alfred Eugene
Montgomery, veteran Pacific
Task Group Commander of World
War II, is one of the few offi

both qualified aviators and sub

Columbia's 21-20 Triumph
Over Army Was Major
Upset Of Nation's Pig
skin Season
BY FRANK ECK
NEW YORK?Collegiate foot- \
ball during 1947 enjoyed another
banner season with many of the
headlines being shared by two
mid-Western powerhouses, unbeat
en and untied Notre Dame and
Michigan.
Penn State was the only other
major unbeaten and untied eleven |
in the country while Pennsyl
vania, Southern Methodist and
Kansas were undefeated but tied.
( As usual there were a fair j
share of upsets. Possibly the most.
stunning surprise was Columbia's
21-20 triumph over Army for the |
j West Pointers' first setback in
more than three seasons. The j
j Cadets had gone through 32 pre- ?
vlous games without losing.
| Adding salt to their wounds. |
j the Soldiers were turned back byi
I Notre Dame, 27-7, in the 24th and
final meeting of the colorful se-|
ries. Both schools had agreed a
| year previous that the game "was
getting out of hand."
Navy, the team with the tough
est schedule, won only one game
and lost to Army, 21-0, before
101,500 in Philadephia for the
fourth straight year.
Two of the individual college'
stars were quarterback Johnny i

Professional football received i
much unfavorable publicity in the

for one year.
James Crowley resigned as
commissioner of the All-America |
Conference to coach the Chicago
Rockets and Adm. Jonas Ingram
former commander of the At
lantic Fleet, succeeded him. In
gram issued several challenges
to the National League but the
veteran circuit declined every In-j
vitation with a terse "no com
ment." |
In the Conference the Cleve-1
land Browns won the western I
division title and the New York:
Yankees were eastern champions. [
The year's most-sought after |
player was Charley Trippi, Geor-1

went to the Chicago Cardinals but j
owner Charles Bidwell, who out-1

of the Conference, died and never
saw Trippi play for pay.
