Injuries have plagued the Medford high football team, un dergoing strenuous work-outs for h cnnthprn Oreron conference1 game with Klamath Falls here , out of the background of back COACH OF WEEK By Jo James Custer tJnltcd Press Correspondent New York, Oct. 18 'U.R) He couldn't make the varsity 12 years ago, but to date he's the only undefeated head coach in Notre Dame football history. He's Smiling Edward Clark (Ed) McKeevcr, the United Press' coach of the week, who's clouted for the distance In all six ap pearances as pinch-hitter for his boss. When Illness benched Frank Leahy in 1942, the chunky, brown-haired McKcever came Friday night. Bill Plaskett, first string end, suffered two broken bones In his hand during a heavy scrimmage session last night. Coach Al Simpson said today that It Is un decided whether Plaskett will be able to play. He might be able to see some action by wear ing a cast but his efficiency as an end would be hampered. Lynn Bessonctte, s t a r tl n g tackle, has been wearing a guard over a sore shin. During prac tice last night the guard was kicked In and Sheldon's shin is as sore as before. Bob Watson, who handles the ball from the quarterback spot. probably pulled an Achilles ten don last night but Simpson thought he would be able to take his place In the starting lineup Friday. Ken Llndley, second string quarterback, out for a week with a sprained knee, will return to practice tonight. Seconds Look Good Coach Simpson said the sec ond team Is looking good In prac tice and believes the Tigers will be as strong as In their previous games. Glenn Tlngley has been looming up In one of the guard spots and Alton Hayes Is being groomed for Bessonette's place at tackle. Allan Kirchcr will probably get the starting call if Plaskett Is unable to play. A close contest between Lynn French and Alvln Hanegin Is be ing waped for Sheldon's position whilo Earl Stclle looks good In the quarterback position under Llndley and Watson. The Pelicans, who lead the conference with a 1212 tie with Ashland and a 12 to 0 win over Grants Pass, are a fast ball club and will be trying hard to upset the favored Medford squad. It will be the first conference play for the local team, which has swept through three games to remain undefeated and one of the top teams In the state. E T Buck Davidson Is getting all set for that meeting with the Gray Mask Thursday night on Promoter Mack Lillard's weekly wrestling schedule it the Med ford armory. The ex-marine has promised this week to do an ex tra good Job of legitimate wrestling. The Mask in turn, will remove his hood If beaten by fair and square means. It was a tough struggle two weeks ago when the mystery man met Davidson, known as Blood and Guts, when he really gets going, and Earl Yoakley. referee for the event, declared the Mask winner by a foul after getlng tossed out on his ear. Terrible Tony Ross, as he Is known up-state, meti Paavo Ka tonen In the semi-main event which will go four ten-minute rounds or two-out-of-three falls. Kotonen and Ross should be a good match for each other, ac cording to Lillard. Curtain opener sees Tex Por ter and Herb Parks slugging It out at 8:30 p. m. sharp, field tutoring to lead the Irish to victories over Stanford, Iowa Seahawks, and Illinois And In Leahy's service absence this sea son, McKeever's rocketing Ramblers have annihilated Pitt, Tulane and Dartmouth and as sumed their traditional role of leading contenders for the myth ical national championship. Goes to Texas Tech In the spring of 1931 he sat on the bench and watched the unbeatable combination led by Marchy Schwartz and realized he wasn't making the grade In what proved to be Knutc Rocknc's Inst pre-season drill. So ho went to Texas Tech, sparked the Raiders as star passing half back In three winning seasons, and upon graduation in 1934 be came backfield coach under Pete Cawthon. Chance crossed McKeever's path wl'h Leahy In 1938, when they me at a coaching clinic conducted by Cawthon In the summer of 1938. Leahv. a line specialist as assistant Fordham coach, was so impressed with McKeever's grasp of backfield play that when he took over the reins at Boston college the fol lowing year he promptly prevail ed upon the exuberant, popular McKcever to become his assist ant. Success At Boston Their success came both swift ly and surely; nine victories and the Cotton Bowl bid for the first season, 11 straight Including a Sugar Bowl triumnh In 1940. and the coaching trail led promptly to South' Bend where they co-iverted their Inaugural season Into Notre Dame's first undefeated since the- Rock's mighty combination of 11 years before. McKeever's selection as Leahy's plnch-hltter was a popu lar choice. Especially on the South Bend campus where he has been perhaps the bcst-llkod coach In recent years. A driver and dlsclpllnnrlan who believes! In condition as a cardinal rule and expects his players to be roady to give their ultimate best, he tempers his practice-field ser iousness with encouragement and patience, and the Irish play their games "for the coach." ) r .. . if 4 jlfF 1 Ml V ....
