board called him in "a couple
of days ago" and told him he
was through.
"I had no indication this
was going to happen," Bren

they were going to change the
coaches. They didn't say they
werent satisfied and there
wasn't any discussion."

Year to Year
Brennan, who took over the
Notre Dame football helm
when Frank Leahy retired in
1954, had been working on a
year-to-year basis since 1957.
In five seasons with the Irish,
his alma mater, he won 32
and lost 18.
Notre Dame President Rev.
Theodore M. Hesburgh said
he accepted the board's de
cision to fire Brennan "with
great reluctance."
In a letter to Brennan, Hes
burgh said: "As you know
from our conversation of Dec.
16, the faculty board in con
trol of athletics has recom
mended to me that a change
be made . . ."
Issues Statement
Brennan's only official an
swer was a 90-word statement
saying it was "an honor" to
have coached the Irish and
expressing "appreciation" to
"alumni and friends for their
help."
"If they want to change
things, that's their right," he
said later.
Speculation i m m e diately
began that Brennan, a native
of Milwaukee, might fill the
football vacancy at Marquette
university. This was spiked,
however, by Marquette of
ficials who said they didn't
even know Brennan had been
fired.
Brennan's team won six and
lost four this season, losing
to Army, Purdue, Iowa and
Pittsburgh, while defeating
Indiana, Navy, Southern Cali
fornia, Duke and Southern
Methodist.
Harry Wills
Victim of
Diabetes
New York-IUPD-Harry Wills,
the famed "Black Panther"
who tried vainly for six frus
trating years to get a crack
at Jack Dempsey's world
heavyweight title, died Sun
day night as perhaps the most
famous "uncrowned cham
pion in the history of box
ing.
Wills, 68, died in Jewish
Memorial hospital, where he
was admitted Dec. 8 with an
acute case of appendicitis. A
hospital spokesman said Wills
died of diabetes.
Wills' body was laid out in
the Walter B. Cooke funeral
parlor at 72nd st. in New
York City.
A strappiing 6-foot, 2-inch,
220-pound giant in his prime,
Wills is remembered in box
ing history as the man the
great Dempsey should have
fought-but never did. For six
years, from 1920 to 1926,
Wills hounded Dempsey for a
chance at the title but cir
cumstances always prevented
the match.
Dempsey himself was will
ing to meet Wills but Tex
Richard, the great promoter,
and Dempsey's handlers fear
ed a "mixed match" for the
heavyweight title in view of
the unfavorable public reac
tion to the reign of Jack
Johnson as heavyweight
champion.

Practices
San Francisco-TCPD-The East
and West Shrine football
teams today buckled down to
a week of hard work in pre
paration for the 33rd version
of the annual football classic
in Kezar Stadium next Satur
day. The 48 players-top grid
ders from the 48 states-arrived
Sunday and lost no time
in getting started under East
Coach Duffy Daugherty of
Michigan State and West
Coast Jack Curtis of Stanford.
After the traditional visit to
the Shrine Crippled Chil
dren's Hospital the East squad
held limbering up drills and
the West team a skull session.
The teams performed most
ly for photographers this
morning but were to start
heavy work this afternoon aft
er the Shrine luncheon in San
Mateo. The East team is camp
ed at Santa Clara university
and the West squad at Cur
tice's home base of Stanford.
East Ground Game
The East team is expected
to concentrate on a ground
game, with such running
backs as Nick Pietrosante of
Notre Dame, Wray Carlton of
Duke, and Don Clark of Ohio
State. Daugherty is assisted
by Milt Bruhn of Wisconsin
and John Michelosen of Pitt.
Curtice, assisted by Len
Casanova of Oregon and Bill
Meek of Southern Methodist,
may bank on an aerial of
fense to defeat the Eastern
ers. He has Washington State's
Bobby Newman and Utah's
Lee Grosscup, two of the na
tion's most dangerous passers,
among his backs.
SE Suspension
Follows Earlier
OSAA Warning
Portland (UPD Suspension
of South Eugene High school
from the Oregon School Ac
tivities association on Satur
day was the first such action
in eight years against a large
school by the group's board
of control.
The OSAA removed South
Eugene from all interschool
competition in sports and oth
er activities. Suspension could
remain in effect for ne year
but will be reviewed by the
board on Jan. 15.
Board decision resulted
from a protest by Albany su
perintendent of schools John
Cox. The protest stemmed
from the painting of an Al
bany school bus with obscene
language last Tuesday.
Corvallis in 1950
Last OSSA suspension of
an A-l school was ruled
against Corvallis in 1950
when Albany was victim of a
painting incident.
In November the OSAA
had issued a warning to South
n-ugene in regard to "un
sportsmanlike conduct" of
some of its students during
the 1958 football season. Dean
Mickelwaxt, principal qf
South Eugene, said he had
warned students earlier about
the possibility of a loss of
privileges if further incidents
occurred.
Larry Hirons, South Eu
gene student body president,
said he "felt very bad" about
the suspension but added he
believed the shock of the ban
would bring an improvement
in conduct of the guilty stu
dents and that South Eugene
would "soon be back in the
association's good graces."
Landry Praised
For Defensive
Preparations
New York-ttJPD-Texas Tom
Landry really did the job up
brown and all that the tri
umphant New York Giants
asked today was that he do
an encore against the Balti
more Colts next week.
From Head Coach Jim Lee
Howell on down to the water
boy, the Giants all credited
Sunday's 10-0 playoff victory
over the Cleveland Browns to
Landry, a tall silent technical
minded ex-halfback who now
serves as New York's defen
sive coach.
"I've never seen a team
play a better defensive," How
ell said, "and Tom Landry
was the key to the whole
thing."

Ashburn's Batting Title
In NL Becomes Official
New York -DPD-Let every
one else shoot for homers,
Richie Ashburn is going to
stay with those singles that
brought him his second Na
tional league batting crown.
Even though he hit only
two homers and drove in 33
runs this year, the fleet, left
handed hitting Phillies' out
fielder compiled a .350 aver
age that was good enough to
win him his second batting
title in four seasons, accord
ing to official figures released
here.
Ashburn, who won his first
crown in 1955 with a .338
mark, practically singled 'his
way to the championship this
year. He led the league in
hits with 215 and of that total,
176 were singles.
At that, the 32-year-old Ash
burn had to finish with a rush
to gain the title over Willie
Mays of the Giants, who was
runnerup with a .347 average.
