(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.

November 17 when we play
Carl Snavely's Tar Heels.
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.

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

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. '

the corridors of the Shriners'
hospital here hand-in-hand
and constituted a few of the
very first steps Sonia is making
on the road to recovery from
an infantile paralysis attack.
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.

back who originally came from
Bryan, Tex., was teamed up with
a five-year-old lad named Tom
my, from Chico, Calif.
"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."
