N. D.'s Frank Leohy Chosen U. p. Coach of the Week

spot in coaching when he took over at South Bend in 1941. The Irish have the greatest following in foot ball, with their official and their na- tional subway alumni, and these disciples of block and tackle demand winner. Their pressure wore on the immortal Knute Rockne, it f1atten- ed Hunk Anderson, the Rocks suc- cessor, and it worried Elmer Layden.
 Leahy was behind the eight ball when he took over. He had only had two years of experience as a head coach - but two such successful sea- sons that he knew the impossible would be expected of him at South Bend.
 Those first two years he spent at Boston College, after working as an assistant coach at Georgetown, Michigan State and Fordham. And when he was signed, the Boston newspapers greeted his selection with the headline: Unknown Leahy Signed"
 But he wasn't unknown long. His first year, 1889, the Eagles won nine and lost two and went to the Dallas Cotton Bowl. The next year they won Il in a row, capping it with a New Orleans Sugar Bowl triumph over Tennessee. Then came the sum- mons to Notre Dame, where he had played tackle on Rockne's 1929 na- tional champions.
 Leahy started strong, leading the Irish to eight victories in 1941, 2 season marred only by tie witt Army. It was Notre Danes first un' defeated season since the Rock last team, Il years before. Last yea it was rough voyage as Notre Dam, won seven, lost two and tied two Now Leahy and the Fighting Irisf are back on the top rung again, witt wins over Pitt, Georgia Tech, Mich. igan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Navy.
 A quiet, studied exterior cloaks tremendous resolve in this six foot 185- -pounder. It helps explain hi' ability to take that well-knoWr Notre Dame pressure and his record of winning 42 games in four anc one-half seasons against four losses and three ties.
 Another explanation is this motto that he constantly drills into hi! men:
 Improve every day. If you don'' you will fall back. There is no stand ing still stage
 Notre Dame football teams have done very little standing still or fall. ing back under Francis William Leahy. There's will to win in thi! man from Winner which was sum med up by the fabulous Moon Mul. lins, a team-mate at Notre Dame.
 If I was in tough spot with my back to the wall and could have only one man to stand alongside me Ie take Frank" Mullins said. 'Yout have to kill him before he'd give up.'

Mercantile
 League Results

Nothing of particularly excit- ing nature took place in Mercantile bowling league competition last night at the Sena alleys, though Wee Willie Tato and the Metropoli- tan Cleaners were just about "the whole show as they walked off with individual and team honors for the evening. Tato has been na- tionally-ranked duckpin bowler for several years, and was in cham pionship for mlast night as he clicked off three big strings of 151, 123 and 148 for a 422 that gave him high set, high and single while his teammates added enough pins to total 633 team single and l. 823 total pinfall.
 MatZkin Furniture, tied with Brookside Dairy for the league leadership before the matches last night was knocked off the top spot in no uncertain fashion; Fulton Markets doing the damage to the extent of "clean sweep" of all three games, while the Brooks sailed through with a 80 score over Mohican Markets.

 New York, Nov. 3. (UP)-Alma Mater seems to be the No. l cas- ualty of war-scrambled sports. The current grid season has given pool Alma terrific boot in the bustle- kicked her right of her hallowed pedestal.
 Alma Mater is the gal who, since the inception of college sports, has supposedly been the inspiration for athletes to give their alto make the "old college try"-to fight to the limit.
 Down through the years and throughout the land, coaches have beloved in dressing rooms: Get out there now, and fight for dear old Alma Mater" The roofing secs tions have roared: Fight for Alma Mater!"
 Moved Around
 But during the current football campaign poor Alma seems to have been pushed further into the dis- card than Tommy Manville's first wife. The war shuffle yanked hun- dreds of service trainees away from their Alma mammy's and deposited them on other college campuseS- sent them into athletic competition under adopted colors-pitted them sometimes against their own Alma Matters. And the tragedy for poor Alma was this: They seemed to fight just as hard against her as they ever did for her.
 There was Bill Daley, for example. Bouncing Bill played three years for Minnesota. But this season, as a Navy V-12 man with Michigan, he was the main spring in Michi- gans 49-to-6 rout of Minnesota. And Tony Butkovich paced Purdue to its 40-21 victory over Illinois, where he was fullback last season. So it goes.
 Half of the stars at trainee schools are transfers from other colleges. But they get out there every Saturday and play inspired" football. Inspired by what? Ger. tainly not by their ex-Alma Matters
 After all these years, good old Alma seems to have been proved a false goddess, at least as far as her responsibility Is concerned for irls spring competitive spirit in ath- letics. And that's a mighty tough break for the coaches and cheering sections of the future. What can they send in as sub for Alma?

NEW BRITAIN TO
 SHOW FOOTBALL
 CLUB HERE SUN.

If there's going to be any claim ing of state championships, count New Britain in, but definitely" writes Coach Jimmy Gill of the un- defeated New Britain Triangles in letter to this department this morning. Jimmy is a bit disturbed, as in New Britain manager Don" Badolato, because the New Haven Annex have already "cut" them selves in for the lions share of the seasons state semi-pro laurels.
 The letter from the Hardware city sportsmen followed close on the signing of articles by the New Brit ain and New Haven homogeneous last night for a game here Sunday afternoon to be played under the auspices of the Sacred Heart high school athletic funi. The Triangles won their fourth straight in as many starts last Sunday by overwhelming the -Willimantic eleven 34 to 0. Other triumphs have been scored over the Avon Valley Stars, Rock vile and All-Middletown.
 The Annex added to it's seasons string of victims Sunday in trounc- ing the scrappy Bridgeport A. c. 10 to 0, thereby eliminating the Park City club from any claim to state honors. If the Annex can get by the notwithstanding New Britain club this week end they will be ready to meet the winners of Sundays for the city championship of Meri- den between the Contelcos and the Rams. The Contelcos are favored to cop.
 Not Out of It
 The Naugatuck Rangers must also still be given consideration in spite of their last period setback at the hands of the Annex two weeks ago.. The Naugatuck club held the Con- telcos to a 7-7 tie at Meriden last Sunday, a game which won lot Of prestige for both aggregations since they are considered as two of the strongest outfits in Connecticut.
 It is rumored that should the Annex succeed in pinning defeat on the strong New Britain club Sunday that the Municipal Stadium will be the scene of series of play offs for the state title between the Annex, the Meriden Contelcos and the Naugatuck Rangers. The Rang er-Annex game here two weeks ago was a nome" game for Naugatuck therefore the return contest is due to be played in New Haven. In all probability however, the titular clash will be played here under the auspices of the Sacred Heart high school athletic fund, the out east high schoolers having adopted as their team," the Annex Aggrega- ton, coached by George Sonny Coughlin, former Providence col lege star, and managed by Maurice "Toots" Burke.
 Wilby and Leavenworth high school teams will be at the Muni- cipal Stadium Sunday afternoon, the Naugatuck- Crosby game hav- ing been played last Sunday at the stadium; while another previously scheduled game was going on at Hamilton Park between the New Haven Annex and Bridgeport Ath- letics. Crosby Naugatuck waS scheduled last Saturday, but raineo out.
 AS a result of increased attend ance at Sunday games in which To- cal high school teams perform, coaches are naxious to bolster de- pleted athletic association treas uries by playing Sunday games If at all possible.

under consideration.
A tarpon weighing 1877 pounds, 7
feet In length and with girth of
4412 inches was caught in Boca
Grande Pass, Fla, on January "a.
Under the rules of the International
Game Fish Association this record
falls in the 24-thread class although
1t was caught on 18-thread. What
we like about it best, it was taken
by one of the fair sex, Mrs. Anthony
