Dakota and Indiana before Michi- gan and Harmon showed Ander- sons boys under.
 Boston College, where Frank Leahy succeeded Gloomy Gil Dobie. won two early games and lost a TO de- cision to Florida. But then Leahy brought the boys back to life and Temple was murdered, 19 to 0.
 Fred swan. who succeeded Pep Warner at Temple, hasn't had 8 very happy time with the Owls but losing tc Georgetown and Car negie by one and six points re- spectively wasn't bad The Owls beat Texas Christian, 13-ll.
 Marine Okay At Navy
 A Marine seems to have the sit uation pretty well in hand at Navy, even if Swede Larson's boys did lcse tos Notre Dame. Victories over William and Mary and Virginia and tie with Dartmouth preceded the loss to the Irish.
 Allyn McKeen, who succeeded Spike Nelson at Mississippi State, guided his boys through three sue cessful games, trouncing Howard, Arkansas and Florida. Then Au- burn ended the fun, TO State came back the next week with 37-0 vic- tory over Southwestern.
 Tulsa, with Chet Benefeil at the helm as successor to Vic Hurt, beat Wichita, Creighton and Centenary, but the Oklahoma Aggies took Tulsa 9-7. Carl Voyles. who used to help Wallace Wade at Duke, has good team at William and Mary. Tn the first four games, only Navy defeated w. and M, but V.PI. tied the new comer's crew
 Georgia, where Wallace Butts re- placed Joel Hunt, won it's first game from Citadel and then lost three straight.

New Coaches
 W aithing as
 Games Played
Early Ch eek up Shows Bosses Have Good Men
 on 1939 Gridiron
By FERD BROWNING

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-"New job iitters' haven't wrought any fear some damage within the ranks of the dozen or so major football coach es occupying strange perches this hectic gridiron season.
 Only one big-time team operat- ing under new guid nee came through it's first four games unbeat- en and united but taken by and large the strange boys in the neigh borhood are catching on very we'll
 Buff Donelli, who really wasn't much of a stranger at Duquesne after his job as assistant there, prov ed his familiarity with the set-up by smashing Pitts "undefeated" hoopes in a 21-13 fiasco. Upsetting the Panther when he's the noisiest is a favorite Duquesne pastime, and even if Bluffs team hadn't won the first three games, beating Pitt would have made it a successful season.
 That upset, though, egded Char ley Bowser's ride on the rainbow up at Pittsburgh, where he suc- ceeded Jock Sutherland. Bowser's team was the talk of the nation with three successive triumphs-and then unneighborly Duquesne spoiled it. But coach whose team beats mighty Duke isn't doing so badly
 Horrell Does We'll
 The West Coast. has first-year man who's registering well. He's Babe Horrell. who moved up from an assistantship at U.CL.A. when Bill Spaulding vacated the head coach position to become athletic director. The Uclans romped along merrily in their first four games, spilling Texas Christian. Washing ton, and Montana. but getting no better than 14-14 tie with Stan ford.
 Joe Sheeketski, another assistant become head coach, apparently. had things humming happily at Holy Cross until Louisiana State roared in by plane and then roared under and over the Cross for a rudely de- cisiye victory. But Sheeketski has well-earned victories over Georgia, Brown and Manhattan for comfort.
 pr. Eddie Anderson, who left the Holy Cross job to Sheeketski. hasn't fared badly in his new post at Iowa except that his team ran in to Michigan, pretty bad blunder in any league. Iowa turned aside South
