 New York, Oct. 22-(UP)-only twice in football history, from the days of turtle neck jerseys to the present era of sail cloth pants, has a team risen up to beat Yale, Har- yard and Princeton in single sea- son. Dartmouth did it in 1888 and on Saturday Pennsylvania followed suit, thereby earning George Mum ger the selection as United Press coach of the week.
 The name of George Almond Munger may be one that you haven't heard before, because ;his husky, be-spectacled red-head is one of the most under-publicized men in the big-time coaching ranks. He's quiet, modest fellow who 1el- dom makes his presence felt in a crowd, but on the record he rates just about as much praise as any man in his precarious business.
 Good Job
 Munger hasn't just stumbled into the present Penn team by accident. The experts all laughed when he moved into Philadelphia four years ago to tale charge of a squad which had won just Il major games in six seasons, but the smiles have long ago vanished. In his three- year tenure Munger has lifted the Quaking Quakers from the Ivy league cellar to the title, and this season he is pretty strong choice to repeat.
 Today his finely-drilled, versatile Red and Blue squad Is one of the l6 major perfect-record squads in the nation. They opened the. sea- son as dark horse. They had won the Ivy crown in 1940 but Frank Reagan, one of the years best of- fensive backs, had been the major reason. With Reagan graduated, the Penn outlook wasn't too bright.
 Munger lost l9 men in all from his 1940 team but iae started right out by humbling Harvard, 19-0. Then he turned back Yale, 28-13, and on Saturday he took the third part of the big three. Penn blanked Princeton, 23-0, and looked bigger, faster and stronger than ever. In fact, the Quakers were easier on the eye than any Penn team in a decade.
 A man with time on his hands might easily have discovered that winning is a Munger habit. This youngster = he is only 30- first broke into Philadelphia'S conscious ness as a prep star at Philadel- phia's Episcopal academy, where he was 8 four-letter man. His pres clippings weren't false alarms, eith- CT. He enrolled at Penn and played halfback for three years, taking time out to win the Penn relay de- cathlon title and the American shuttle hurdle crown.
 Since then, he has made good not once but twicee First he re- turned to Episcopal as football coach in 1884 and produced an un. beaten team.
 In three years at the academy, he lost only two games and Penn called him back as freshman coach ln 1886. His first team was not only undefeated and united, but unscored oh, and in 1887, he lost only a single encounter.
 Improvement
 In 1888 Munger moved upstairs to succeed Harvey Harman, and his job wasn't easy. The 1887 Penn team had defeated only Navy and Maryland. The rookie coach bet- tered ttiis record at once by win- ming three, tying three. and los- ing only two in 1888. In 1889 he split even at four and four. but last year he came back to conquer Cornell and five other opponents while losing only to Michigan.
 This year Penn is on the road back to the Red and Blue glories of yore, and Munger is the man to who mthe credit belongs. He has Q knack Of developing touch. rugged
