No Other Changes

Leahy announced there would be
no other changes in the athletic
department. the coaches in the
other sports all retaining their po-
sitions. Father O'Donnell said he
university was well pleased with
the work in all departments.
University officials said that
Leahy had always hoped to return
to Notre Dame When he signed
his recent contract with Boston
College he had verbal agreement
with those officials that he would
be released if the Notre Dame post
should be offered to him. At that
time Elmer Layden was firmly en-
trenched here, but less than a
month later, Leahy has received
his release and signed with his
alma mater.
The Notre Dame coach still
likely will be the youngest in the
country. Leahy is 80 and he
coached twoe of the three assist
ants when he was helping Jimmy
Crowley at Fordham. The two as
sistants. Johnny Druze and Joe
McArdle. played with Alexander
Francis Wojciechowicz, now of the
Lions. at F'Ordham.

Terms Hidden

THE contract is very salts
factory to all concerned. But
NOtre Dame never reveals the
exact terms" the Reverend
O'Donnell said 1t was believed
that Leahy was released from
a Sl0000-a-year contract which
had five years to run. He just
signed a few weeks ago.
The assistants that Leahy will
bring with him are Ed McKeever
of Texas Tech, backfield coach;
Johnny Druze of Fordham, coach
of tackles and ends, and Joe Nc
Ardle, also from Fordham, coach
of guards and centers. Leahy is
also a lineman.
The new mentor will take over
about March and start Spring
practice about three days later.
He hopes the officials will permit
him six weeks for the Spring
drills. Leahy admitted he knew
nothing about the personnel OF
the Notre Dame team and it
would take him some time to size
up his material before he could
begin work in earnest.

Gives Up Football

But Freiburger, just like the
nine Tiger prospects, puts baseball
foremost in his life. He still has
year of work to complete before
finishing high school, and will dc
il in two years by attending classes
while he isn't playing ball.
Perhaps the biggest sacrifice
was made by John McHale. former
Catholic Central three-sport star,
who gave up an assured football
career at Notre Dame to report to
Beaumont for a tryout at first
base.
Only two others have finished
high school. They are Jim Obenour,
pitcher, who comes up from Hot
Springs, Ark. to Beaumont, and
Dick Mead, Royal Oak boy who
played with Henderson last year
and is slated to come up with the
TeXarkana outfit this season.

Got a Break

McKeever. the only assistant
not from Fordham, owes his place
on the Irish staff to lucky break.
He was assistant at Texas Tech,
where he had played after one
year at Notre Dame, when Leahy
went there for coaching school.
He was impressed by the way Nc
Keever handled himself and told
him if he ever had head COACH
ing post he would hire him. One
year later the Boston College job
fell to him and he hired McKeever.
The Notre Dame campus was
surprised by the selection but vely
pleased. Leahy has appeared here
several times and has many
friends.

Get in Condition

The other six. who still have to
finish school, are Dave Butch"
Derrick of Eastern High, John
Lipon of Chadsey, Sheldon Harris
and Frank Faudem of Central, Joe
Moceri of st. Charles and Joe Lis
of Western. They viii report April
5 at Fulton. Ky. for training be-
fore going to play with Muskegon.
None of the undergraduates is
working at the present time And
few have any definite duties be-
cause the first semester of the
school year has just been COM
pleted Instead. every one is con-
centrating on getting into condition
for the coming campaign.
McHale, for instance, has been
playing a lot of basketball in the
new Catholic Central gym. That's
not only getting him in condition,
but is also preparation for an
alumni game to be played soon.
Moceri. a right-handed pitcher,
and Derrick. smuggling third base
man, played on the same Legion
team as did Freiburger and Harold
