MCKEEVER QUITS
AS HEAD COACH
AT NOTRE DAME
South Bend, Ind., Feb. 28
(U.R) Notre Dame was without
head football coach or in ath
letic director today for the see
ond time in 12 months and the
third time In a little more than
four years.
Ed McKeever's acceptance of
the head coaching Job at Cornell
vacated two fobs at Notre Dame.
The 34-year-old Texan was serv
ing both as athletic director and
head grid mentor in the absence
of Navy Lt. Frank Leahy.
Notre Dame's board of ath
letics is expected to meet Thurs
day to name a duration succes
sor or successors to McKeever.
The Rev. John CavanauRh.
C. S. C, vice-president of the
university and chairman of the
athletic board, refused to com
ment on possible action by the
board.
If the two Jobs are given to
one man, which has been a gen
eral policy at Notre Dame for
the past 23 years, Hugh John De
Vore is expected to get the nod.
DeVore, 34-year-old line coach,
was IHcKcever's No. 1 assistant
last fall.
