18 Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Thursday, Dec. 21, 1950'FAKi FARE (A Capital Journal Exclusive) By FRANK LEAHY Bead Football Coach at University of Notre Dame Before bowl time sets in on us completely we would like to take a look at what we lace next fall, and this opportunity Is afforded us by the recent release of the m 1951 Notre I Dame sched- I ule. I Once again, It will he our good fortune to open the season at home. On Sep tember 29 we will host Clyde Smith's I n d 1 ana Hoosiers Prink Leabr from down-state Bloomington. Because the great majority of the men who defeated Notre Dame in 1950 will be back in 1951, it shouldn't prove overly difficult to get our team "up" for this game. Our second game next fall will also be played at home. On October 13 the Mustangs of Southern Methodist will be the visitors. The wonderful game which opened this cur rent series has stimulated much interest in this rivalry. Undoubtedly this contest will treat midwestern fans to some of the season's most enjoyable football as the Mustangs colorfully exploit the many facets of the double wing for mation. Our first road game will be in Pittsburgh against Len Casanova's Panthers on Oc tober 20. You may be sure that our pass defense will be work ed on considerably before we make this trip. Another after noon of completions such as Pittsburgh enjoyed against us this past fall and we could easily be on the short end of the score. Purdue, the team which started us on the wrong track last season will be back in South Bend on October 27. We will try not to carry our neighborly love to quite such an extent in 1951. The Boiler maker attack will again be directed by Dale Samuels, who our players felt was the best quarterback they faced dur ing the season just completed. November 10 will see the Fighting Irish in East Lansing as the guests of the Michigan State Spartans. In what is Tapldly coming to be one of the midwest's big games we look for another strenuous afternoon. On that day we will be facing one of the top exponents of the single wing system. Notre Dame's first trip Into North Carolina will come on Rumor Trojans, Gophers to Swap Grid Coaches Los Angeles, Dec. 21 W) The rumor factory today cooked up a neat exchange of departed coaches between the universities of Minnesota and Southern Cal lfornia. Bcrnie Bicrman, who stopped down nt Minnesota this fall, said he would be interested, if there's an offer in the job at USC from which Jeff Cravath resigned yesterday under alumni pres sure. And one published report here is that Cravath is a hot prospect for Bicrmnn'a job at Minnesota, on the strength of his friendship with Minnesota Athletic Director Ike Arm strong. Ricrman expressed interest In the Trojan job at San Fran cisco where he is a coach for the Kast-West Shrine game Dec. 30. Cravath, keeping a speaking engagement in Monterey, Calif., last night said: "If I'm ever lucky enough to land another coaching job, I'm going to win football games and let the other fel low build character," lie said Showing movies of the Tro jan 9-7 win over Notre Damr, a victory over a traditional foe which wasn't enough to ave his hide after a dismal season, Cravaih watched the acene where his players car ried him off the. field and said: "There goes a monkey on a pngo stick." Cravaih says he doesn't have Immediate plans for his future. Plans of USC for a successor are in the immediate hands of Ath letic Director Willis O. Hunter. Ths list of possibilities grows longer with each new edition of the sports puses. FOR Insured Sayings SEE First Federal Savings First Current Dividend VA ft .

Since it will be our second consecutive week against the single wing attack, our de fenses should oe quite alert. They will have to be to stop Coach Snavely's offense. Back for our final home game on November 24 we will entertain the Iowa Hawkeyes. Needless to say, they will be out to improve on last fall's tie game. So will we. It is our sincere hope that the long trek to close the sea son against Southern Califor nia in Los Angeles will be more fruitful than it was last season. I do feel reasonably certain that the respective rec ords of these two teams will be more representative than they were last fall. Time will tell. This gives us four games at home and five on the road. South Benders will be able to see Indiana, Southern Meth odist, Purdue and Iowa per form in the Notre Dame stadi um, while the team will visit Pitsburgh, Navy, Michigan State, North Carolina and Southern California. L e t's hope the team will be as repre sentative as the schedule. (Distributed by McNauttht Syndicate, Inc.) Irish Mentor Yearns for Better Season in 795 J By TOM BRANAGAN South Bend, Ind., Dec. 21 P) Frank Leahy of Notre Dame says he has nothing but pleasant memories of the 1950 Irish foot ball team which had the worst record of any he ever coached. Still, he'd rather look ahead than back. He praised his 1950 players highly. He said many times that their spirit in adversity was an inspiration to him. But that doesn't mean he will be satisfied in the future with records such as his team compiled last fall: four lost, one tied, four won. Leahy has analyzed for the Associated Press what he con siders his 1950 team's possible weaknesses. These were coaching mistakes; lack of good material in depth; sus ceptibility to Injury; and "maybe" Notre Dame wasn't "hungry enough" for victory after four undefeated seasons. The Irish coach frankly yearns for a better performance next fall, and he intends to get it. "I promise this, he said in an interview. "Notre Dame coaches and players will work harder than ever before and we ve al ways worked hard to improve next year." This is what he means: "Last fall the margin of dif ference In two of our losses) (Michigan State and Southern California) was on blocked punts recovered for touch downs. I will practically guar antee that none of our kicks will end up this way next year." , Leahy characteristically is not at all magnanimous in assessing the merits of his teams-to-be. But he doesn't say thai all is hope less for 1951 and lie's said just that before other seasons. "We lose two great players," he said. "Its hard to find an other Bob Williams (All Amcr ica quarterback) or Jerry Groom frill. Tki il.iltht sKk Rklsklii in 4 inn ! jgv , rxrs . triitlitwlii$liij.62', T2 : .

SI ; RiS FOOTBALL'S FINEST HOUR- East - West Players Date Kids San Francisco, Dec. 21 U.R Lee Stonstreet, Dallas, Tex., and his new girl friend went for a stroll yesterday amid the pop ping of flash bulbs and the ex pressive "ohs" and "ahs" of an admiring throng. Stonestreet is a 195-pound center from Rice institute who is here to play with the west in the Shrine East-West bowl game. His new girl friend is 10-year-old Sonia, a patient in the Shriners' hospital for crippled children. She comes from Academy, a small vil lage in Fresno county, Calif. The stroll was taken through (center). We'll also miss (back) Bill Gay, (tackle) Bill Flynn, (guard) Fred Wallner, (back) John Landry, and some others." But a number of regulars and near-regulars are return ing and Leahy thinks many of these men, most of them inex perienced before last season, developed well. One good defensive end pros pect coming up from the fresh man squad is a six foot-nine inch, 240 pounder named Joe Katchik, of Plymouth, Pa. Of fensive ends Jim Mutscheller and Chet Ostrowski also will be back. Leahy said John Mazur should inherit Williams' quarterbacking job. Mazur, a junior, was bril liant as Williams' sub in several tight spots last season. ' Church League NATIONAL DIVISION W Pet. Snlrm Ncwa 1.000 .667 .667 C.

It was on this walk that Stone- street learned the importance of "Football's Finest Hour" the all-star game in which the strong run so that the weak may walk. Along with more than 40 oth er athletes from over the na tion, it was impressed on him that coming out to play in the Shrine game wasn't a lark it was an important business. It is the Shrine game that has turned over more than Sl, 500,000 to the childrens' hos pitals in the past quarter cen tury and it is the publicity that accumulates from this game that results in a major portion of their financing. This was the visit that made boys out of men again and it is the one that brought tears to their eyes as they talked to the hopelessly crippled youngsters who, flat on their backs, all gave forth with an organized cheer as the football players entered the hospital. There was big John Kadlec, University of Missouri guard who drew as his "partner" for the day, beautiful Lola, a 13-year-old from Auburn, Calif. And Dick Doyne, a fine halfback from Lehigh, who will have at least one westerner, in the per son of six-year-old Gerald from Fresno, Calif., rooting for him.

"I know now why they call this football's finest- hour," said Powers. . "After visiting these youngsters you realize why all this is so worthwhile." Many of the big, 200-pound athletes formed lasting friend ships during the two-hour visits. Addresses were exchanged and promises to write were made. "This is one of the most wonderful things that ever happened to me," said Powers, "to get a chance to see this. Now I know why we are play ing and why every Shrine football player always gives his best."
