Boston College Seeks New Coach And Grid Staff

Newton, aMss., Feb. IS. (UP)- Boston college began casting its lines for new football coach today, but opinion was divided as to whether loss of Frank Leahy to Notre Dame would tumble the Eagles from the ranks of the na- ton'S top teams.
 There was not even a shadow of a successor to be found on the Gothic structures of the college as the faculty and student body began re- covering from the shock caused by Leahey's sudden departure for South Bend, his newly-signed five year contract with Boston college tossed into the trash barrel.
 Wish Him We'll
 we felt that we could not stand in his way; we wish him success, :" said John P. Curley, graduate ath- letic manager, who must begin once more the arduous task of coach hunting that; led him to the almost unknown Leahy two years ago.
 Curley was not expected to delay long the St;.rt of that hunt, but like all packers of the B-C team, he was admittedly at a loss todetermine where he should look. He must not only find a hear coach, but a whole coaching staff, for Leahy tok his aides with him.
 "This sure looks bad for the teams to come" commented Stellar End Gene Goodreault. This will be a shock to the spirit of the juniors and sophomoreS."
 Capt. Elect Al Moro said he was stunned and did not know what the future would bring to the Eagles but the complacent Charlie O'Rourke, star back of the teams that Leahy placed in the cotton and sugar bowls, was sure there will always be someone to carry on"

life In such crowds and gate

too, for the great interest shown
In any new gadget. garden apron.
a more scientific sprinkler, or a
novel kneeling-pad. The throngs
which crowd around any demon
stration of a garden device are
sure proof of need and active
desire to make gardening still
more productive and enjoyable.
And since the living room. for
many Of us, has practically
moved outdoors for all Summer,
any new device or product which
will make this open-air hospital
ity center still more comfortable
or charming, is equally exciting
to the warm weather hostess.
Speaking first OF those new
items whose practical function
alism is their outstanding merit,
we find a sprinkler built after
the same mechanical plan as that
used in a giant irrigation system.
Everyone admits that the great
bugaboo of garden is the
fatigue of watering" and manip-
ulating a slithery hose without
getting drenched. Here. then, is
an automatic sprinkler which
distributes a fine. gentle spray
with rainlike uniformity, which
gives wide coverage. and which
is built TO stand punishment
Technically. it consists Of a
small turbine water motor con-
nected to a curved distribution
pipe and mounted on a narrow
sledlike frame for easy pulling
over the lawn The distribution
pipe is fitted with Il small noz-
zles, all set in an even plane and
at such an angle that the water
is sprayed in the form of an
open fan. When the nozzlcs are
oscillated back-and-forth. a wide
rectangular area of from 80 TO
40 feet width Is evenly and
gently watered.

comes in three sizes. all just as
serviceable, depending on ones
needs.
Kneeling in the garden may
not exactly result in suffering
from "housemaids knee" but
nevertheless not all OF us can
take this posture without some
sop 10 comfort. Hence the next
item. that Of an improved kneel-
iug-pad should be worth more
than passing attention.
This new model consists Of a

Across the front of the pad is a
