Clark has been unheralded most of Is career. Never on a cham pionship team. That record may be broken this month as Portsmouth seems destined to win the profess si6nal title.
 Many times in high school and college, he has played for cham : pionships but his team always lost Even in his first year in profession- al football last year his old jinx ciunz to him and Portsmouth was nosed out of the title by Green Bay.
 Easy Going Guy
 Clark is 27 and weighs 183 pounds. Bru.e strength is wholly lacking from Clark's football tac- tics, He plays in a relaxed, half hearted way which makes one wOn- der what would happen if he real ly tried.
 Clark played in college with Co., dorado College in the Rocky Moun- tain conference. He was a fresh man a couple of weeks at North western the year before Dick Han ley became coach, but got home- sick.
 Behind Northwestern line such as Hanley develops, Clark would surely have been one of the most publicized football players of the decade.
 FOot-LOose Now
 What can Clark do? Well, for one thing, he couldn't punt very well until he joined the pros. He began practicing kicking last year. This year in his first eight games, he punted 3S times for an average of 46 yards.
 Pop Warmers candidate for the greatest football player of all time is Ernie Meyers. How does Clark compare against Meyers? He play cd against him twice last year, and outclassed him in both games Pro players who have played for and against both of them, hand the crown to Clark.

Time To Retire

Though Bat BattalinO is consid- cred by some uncouth people to be just this side of "wacki", he Is smart enough to sec the handwrit- ing on the leather tapestry, by an- nOuncing his retirement as a pro- fessional fighter. He has been beaten rather badly in his last few bouts, and that, added to the fact that he never knew fear, and would always "take one to get one in" is reason enough for his sudden plan to fold up while the folding is sane. His managers claim $5,OOO or so may change his mind. That will depend on the state of his fi- nances, but seeing Kid Kaplan around Hartford quite often has apparently made him use what lit- tie brains that have not been knocked out of him.
