 New York, June 30 - (U.P) - Within the next couple of weeks the brass hats at Washington will get memorable fill-in on the application of football tactics to modern aerial warfare; also on the advisatility of making football a compulsory sport for every able-bodied lad in our high schools and colleges.
 This flll-in- will be provided by Commander Joseph Clifton, the fighting air group commander of Navy plane carrier who has just re- turned from IS months of combat duty in the Paciic-from battle areas that included the Solomons, the Gilberts, the Marshals and the Indian Ocean.
 Because of the singular successes of his unit, Clifton of Paducah, Ky. former smashing fullback at An- napolis-has been invited to Wash ington for conferences. During his 5,402 hours of combat flying, as leader of V-l2 Grammar Hell Cats and as air group commander, his units destroyed 102 Japanese planes and damaged 78 more. They sank 102,000 tons of Japanese ship ping, and damaged 199,000 tons more. All this without the loss of a single U. s. dive bomber or torpedo plane. No wonder he is considered a miracle" commander.
 Teamwork
 Commander Clifton, holder of the distinguished Flying Cross, ,stead- fastly declines to discuss his own exploits, because he insists that teamwork, rather than individual brilliance, is the basis of successful modern air fighting-just as it is the basis of success on the gridiron.
 Chatting last night at the Club 2l, Commander Clifton big. brown-haired possessor of slightly mashed nose-said, T thank my lucky stars that was well ground ed in football before l mood into the Pacific. The football tactics l had absorbed at Paducah High and at the Naval Academy proved the most valuable things I had ever learned. Naturally, you think I'm exaggerating; you can't appreciate fully what I mean unless you've played football and then been up there in combat formation.
 Most Important
 The rugged. 35-year-old officer, accentuated his remarks with a stabbing forefinger. and his brown eyes blazed with crusading glints as he continued the important thing in the air or on the football field is teamwork. There is this difference if you make a mistake on the grid iron, it may cost yardage; but if you make one in the air, it may cost lives-including your own. That's why it's SO important to have a

 In action off carrier. he ex- plained, each type of plane has its assigned job to do-the V. ITS
 torpedo planes) the V. B.'s (dive bombers); and the V. F.'s (flghters). :. When the men in one group, know that the men in another group will carry out their assignments perfect ly, 1t fills the first group with con- fldence and increases their effl- ciency.
 Commander Clifton made the Navy Academy varsity when he was a sophomore, only soph on the squad in 1927, Army beat Navy that year; and 1t was his last game against the Cadets, as Army and Navy broke of relations tempo rarily. But his 28 team was runner up for the eastern championship. Fulp details will be given at Wash- ington shortly.

The BG's copped a 6 to 3 decision from the Slocums Wednesday in a St. Lucy c. Y. o. softball minor league contest at St. Lucy's grounds.
 A hard fought game that was give and take right up to the last frame thrilled the spectators. The Slocums, with Gaetano. Tiso in the box and pitching fine ball, were leading the BG's by the score of three to two, when the boys from Branch and Griggs finally got hold of the ball in their half of the sixth. When the dust settled the over-confident Slo- cums found themselves on the bot tom of the heap and nightly dis concerted.

 Boston, June 30. (UP)-Success today had crowned the eastern debut of world bantamweight cham pton Manuel Ortiz of Fl Centro, Cal, but only after he had turned on his most savage and brilliant attack against Larry Bolvin, an inspired featherweight from Providence, R. I.
 In perhaps four rounds at Braves field last night Ortiz shielded him. self from barrage of merciless hand grenades that rained on his head and body. The crowd of 3,299 roared encouragement to Bolvin, begged him to finish the champion who has not lost fight in two years.
 Desperately Bolvin tried to re- spond. But the champion, who showed his power in the opening round by ripping open Bolvin's right eye. turned on his tormentor with pitiless savagery.
 Badly Beaten
 Ripping at Bolvin's mid section with piston like punches, Ortiz stalked for the kill. He sent the game Bolvin reeling from rope to rope. dazed him, cut him and hooked him back and forth across the ring. Tn the eighth Bolvin sank to the ropes and sat on the lower strand as the bell sounded. In the ninth he was down for a nine- count, seemingly unable to rise. But Bolvin climbed gamely back to his feet to finish the last .3l seconds of that round and weather the 10th.
 Fighting at l25 3-4, the heaviest weight he ever carried, Ortiz ap- peared little stale. Bolvin, 6 half pound lighter. fought the greatest fight of his life. The United Press gave Ortiz six rounds, Bolvin three and one even.

PAROCHIAL AND PUBLIC CHAMPS
 AT HAMILTON

All roads lead to Hamilton Park field tonight where the two school boy teams which have blasted their way into the championships of their respective leagues will do their bit by staging city title game for the sole purpose of boosting the sale of war stamps. It will be the second annual War Stamp game and will bring together Slocum's public school titlists and SS. Peter and Paul, rlonarchs of all they survey in the parochial loop. The game is scheduled for 6:15 on No. 1 field and each and every person entering the park will be asked to purchase one or more % cent war stamps. The game netted $20o last year but judg- ing by the interest surrounding to-. nights classic, a new mark will be set.
 Four umpires have been selected to handle the game including Bill Stanton of the City Amateur circuit who will serve as umpire in -chief behind the plate, Chick Kelley at first, Al Napoli at second. and Al Monti at third. Both squads tapered off for the big tilt with workouts yesterday afternoon in spite of the blazing sun. The game is expected to set new attendance record for grade school ball game.
 Although the Slocum aggregation under Coach "Goldie" DtStisio proved themselves the peers of all clubs in the 16-team public school circuit, the diminutive but scrappy SS. Peter and Paul crew under the capable tutelage of Coach Tom Hank ODea and Rev. John Sulli- van can be counted on to give their north end rivals great battle with the city title at stake.

Revolutionary System
OF Communications
Developed for Army
BY THOMAS r. HENRY
Star War Correspondent.

NINTH AIR FORCE BASE.-I
saw demonstrated here an appar-
emily revolutionary development in
military field communications by
means of which units of the Army
can keep in constant telephone
communication over an entire cam
paign area without wires but using
telephone equipment and plugging
in regular field switchboard.
Thus in a test, an officer takes a
phone on his desk and calls an
adjoining office over a circuit cross
ing half of England
Details are highly technical and
secret. The apparatus is put to-
gether from standard Signal Corps
issue material In an original man
ner by Capt. John j. Deniston, of
Pasadena, Calf, and Sergt. Thomas
j. Marcus, of Bridgeport, Ohio, an
electrical engineer in civil life.
Before now, establishment of
battle communications has been one
of the most difficult and dangerous
jobs.
Infantry division wiremen di-
rectly follow advance battle units,
braving mine fields, to connect regi-
ments with headquarters. Casual
ties are heavy and saboteurs con-
stantly cut the wires or enemy fire
destroys the system.
The range of portable radio is
| limited. Couriers are used to fol-
low up telephone orders with writ
ten orders.
This development promises to do
away with all this. A division COM
mander can call regimental COM
mander regardless of his location
and discuss battle plans constantly
in ordinary conversation with COM
plete secrecy. He also can deliver
written orders over the wireless
! system.
! 1t was worked out especially for
complex tactical air force commune
cations and probably will be of the
greatest Importance in the invasion
but is easily adaptable for ground
forces. 1t is not intended to sup
plant wire telephony entirely but
may hasten by hours the establish
ment of battlefield communica-
tions network.
