Accepts Post Vacated When
Layden Resigned to Be-
came Pro Grid Chief
BY TOM SILER

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Feb. IA
R-Frank Leahy, 33-year-old Bos-
ton college coach, is going back tc
Notre Dame.
Father John Cavanaugh, vice
president of Notre Dame, announced
tonight that Leahy had accepted
the post as athletic director and
head football coach, a vacancy
created IL days ago when Elmer
Layden resigned to become pro
football commissioner.
Leahy will sign a long-term con-
tract tomorrow in the office OF
the Rev. Hugh O'Donnell, CSC,
school president.
The youthful, affable college
mentor said in Boston that going
back to Notre Dame would be
Gust like going home to me-"
Leahy played under the immortal
Knute Rockne through 1880, being
a lineman on the old masters
last Irish machine and the last
indicated eleven at the school.
His salary at Notre Dame was
not disclosed, but Leahy implied
he was making a financial sacri-
flee in order to take the job.
THE financial element does not
figure in my decision to return to
Notre Dame" he said, adding that
he would never have considered
leaving Boston college for any
job except this one.
Leahy, a native of Winner, SD,
carved out a brilliant record in
his two years as a head coach.
Boston college signed him in 1889
and in two seasons his teams won
~ of 20 games, finishing an un-
defeated 1910 campaign with a
spectacular victory over Tennessee
in the Sugar bowl.
After graduating from Notrc
Dame in 1881, Leahy took a job
as line coach at Georgetown, later
serving in a similar capacity at
Michigan State under Jimmy
Crowley. He stayed with Crowley
when the latter became headcoach
at Fordham, coaching the line
there until Boston college hired
him.
Il am going to take along all of
my assistants-Ed McKeever,
backfield coach; John Druze. end
coach and Joe McArdle, line
COACH" Leahy said as soon as the
news of his appointment leaked
out prematurely in Boston. I'VE
will start spring practice about
March Z.
II deeply regret that I am leav-
ing Boston college but I consider
it my duty to return to Notre
Dame. Every Notre Dame man
would welcome a chance to 90
back as head coach, for it is the
greatest honor that can come to
any of u.s."
His decision to keep his Boston
college staff intact means tho re-

to the head and body and the
second round was close to an even
stephen affair.
Sykes brought blood to Hamil-
tons nose in the third round when
he connected with a sharp upper
cut that staggered the Dunn boy.
However, Hamilton, keeping his
dangerous right cooked for action,
kept coming in. He shot a hard
right to Sykes jaw, followed up
with a left to- the body and finished
the final round with a good advan-
tage in points.
Featherweight Championship
Hard-hitting Dan Brisson, 1876
pounds, of Lumberton, came
through with a close decision over
smuggling Harvey Williamson, 1913
pounds, of Laurinburg..
Williamson came out fast in the
first round. He sent out a long
right and waded in with a left to
give the Lumberton lad a good
cutting around. The Laurinburg lad
appeared on the way &c a knockout
at one time, but Brisson rallied,
crowded in close and pounded
away at Williamson's body with a
short right jab.
The second round found William
son firing and Brisson getting
fresher. He was fresh with his
fists too, for he gave Williamson
the old-one-tWo punch around the
head and came out with a margin
of points.
In the third round Williamson
was visibly tired. He didn't even
leave his corner, he didn't have
too through with the decision. 5
Lightweight championship-Blond-
headed, bomb-throwing Johnnie Sim
MONS, of Southport, captured the
lightweight championship by pound
ing out a well-earned decision over
Henry Gilbert, 136-pounder of Roa-
noke Rapids.
The first round found the South
port boy rushing in with his right.
He connected to the head several
times, landed a few solid lefts to the
body and came out with a slight
margin of points.
In the second round Gilbert took
to the offensive. He hit Simmons
hard about the head with several
short right jabs. But Simmons came
back to tie up most of his offerings
and punch out with another margin
of points. In the third session, Sim
mons kept up his right jab to the
Jaw and followed up with his left.
Gilbert got in several close-in
punches but missed on his long ones.
Following the above bout, the win
ners in the Novice division were
awarded miniature gold boxing
gloves. They were awarded to:

Wall Street was cheered by re-
ports of big Russian successes
against the Nazis and the ability
of United States contingents to hold

collapse of Britain, which it pre-
dicted.
"It is safe to predict that Brit

editorial said. The collapse Of
Britain and American participation
dn the war; will put an end to the
import of the European war, shift

the new world war will be staged.
TN that eventuality Japan and
the United States will fight like
wildcats as the main forces of the
belligerents.
even granting that the United
States is not entering the Euro
pean war, so long as she pursues her
present overt pro-British activities
she actually is in it.
Had Germany been bellicose she
would have found more than enough
reasons to declare war against the
United States for past contemptu-
GUS utterances and illegal deeds
The same applies to Italy and
Japan"
