Crimson captain Gerry Emmet, after narrowly losing his first game in extra points, came back dramatically to win his match in four games. Emmet's combination of delicate drop shots and slashing aisle shots allowed him to retain control of the center of the court, while the Midshipman was obliged to scamper around...
...consolation title, Davis eliminated Navy's fourth man, John Harmuth, in the semifinals, and he also defeated number five Midshipman John Lattimer in the championship tournament.

John Henebry, 40, Air Force Reserve major general, learned from commanding bombers in the Pacific enough to become the 26-year-old founder of Chicago's Skymotive, Inc. (executive aircraft servicers).

Item: as superintendent of the Naval Academy at Annapolis from 1947-50-he was the youngest in 50 years-he was shocked to discover Academy-based enlisted men living near by in trailer camps. A midshipman's first lesson must be concern for enlisted men's welfare, he told the brass in Washington, and Annapolis of all places must set the example. He came away with the first Wherry housing units the Navy ever...
