whether Shreves victory in their
first meeting was an upset. The test
will feature a 2O-bout program at
Turner's arena, where the District
A. A. U. tournament moves toward
its climax.
Pavone, an experienced, polished
craftsman, figured to beat Shreve
with points to spare the first time
they met and did hold the upper
hand in the earlier stages of the
bout. But in the third round he
bumped into something that felt
like a cross between a Crowbar and
a shillalah and went down for the

By the Associated Press.


SOUTH BEND, Ind. March 13-
Given a break in material, Frank
Leahy is going to throw Notre Dame
football wide open" next fall.
The 32-year-old gridiron coach
and athletic director, who began his
new job yesterday at the opening of
spring practice, said that he plans
to use the same style of offense with
his new squad as he did at Boston
College. where his 1889 and 1910
teams won 20 out of % games.
If the material comes up, we'll
show them something different" !"
said Leahy. successor to Elmer Lay
den, who resigned TO become COM
missioner of the National Pro Foot
ball League. BY that 1 don't mean
that Layden didn't produce great
teams here. His record Of Al wins,
13 defeats and ties in seven years
is a remarkable one, which I only
hope we can match.
But at Boston College we tried
'goofy' stuff Quick opening plays,
long passes and short passes. At
Boston College We were fortunate in
having a fine passer and runner in
Charley ORourke. If We come up
with good paSser here next fall,
we'll really open up. We gambled
at Boston College and we'll gamble
here, if we have a chance"
The only prediction I'll make
about l94l,' said Leahy, will be that
we'll have a team ready at the kick
off for every game"
