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."
