Pro- UP Weekly Coaching Award Goes To J. Hill LOS ANGELES (UP) He was laughed at when he quit coaching track to take over his first' head ; coaching Job in college football, four years ago. , He was laughed at again only two weeks ago when he . was hanged in effigy on his own cam pus. But Jess Hill, the United Press Coach of the Week, got the last laugh when his Southern Calif ornia Trojans sprung one of the season's biggest upsets last Satur day by mauling Notre Dame, 42-20. , Southern Cal never had beaten the Irish In their annual wlndup game since Hill took over the coaching reins from Jeff Cravath in 1951. This season, the Trojans reached the Notre Dame battle, with an undistinguished 5-4 wan and lost record, while the Irish had an 8-1 mark. But Hill, Ignoring the 10-poirrt odds Rgainst his team, flatly pre dicted a victory over the Irish. "I told them they were going out to win, not for me, but for them selves," he disclosed later. "I wanted them to have something to remember this season." i Southern Cal battled its way to a 21-7 lead in the first half only to have Notre Dame reduce that margin to one point early in the final period. Then quarterback Jim Contratto completed a pair of touchdown passes for the Tro jans and All-America halfback Jon Arnctt added another score before time ran out. ' But the real hero was Jess Hill, who believes "the psychological approach in athletics is the most important part of the game." ,' In Our New Location! M.

Knappa defeated Msilin 46-45 on a desperation shot A former major league outfield er with the New York Yankees, Hill was coaching the Southern California track team when he switched to the football squad. He didn't take long to expound on his favorite theory. "There can be no negative ap proach as far S3 our team is con cerned," he pointed out. "and we certainly will have no defeatist at titude if I have anything to do about it." It was this positive thinking more than anything else that con vinced Southern Cal it could beat Notre Dame. And, indirectly, It enabled Jess Hill to get the last laugh on the last Saturday of the 1955 season.

GOOD AND BIG ' ' This factor was pointed out In this corner recently by Jim Lee Howell, coach of uie pro New Yorn Giants. College linemen selected must not only be good but must be gigantic to stand the pro gaff. This line fills Uie bill. It aver ages better than 223 pounds and more wan six feet, two inches. Understand, too, that these are on ly growing Doys who still have room to-grow. Only three of them are "old men" ot 22. Schriewer Is 6-4 and 205 pounds while Clarke, the otner end, is 6-4 and 213. The tackles, In order of selection, are Bosley, 6-2 and 225; D'Agostlno 6-1 and 233; Krupa six feet and 237, and Masters 6-2 and 225. Pellegrini at center is 6-3 and 225. The backs, too, have to be big and rugged as proved by the dralt choices. Cassady at 5-10 and 172 Is one of those rare exceptions. But Gllck is 6-1 and 191; Moi rall Is 6-1 and 185, while Davis goas six feet and 190 pounds. Pro ball demands size and speed. But talent has to go with them. So the first team chosen in the pro draft must be recognized as one of the finest All - America teams of the year. More Sports On Pages 14-15 SHOP HAL'S . . . We've gift! for everyone on your lilt.
