 New York, oct. ie.-(UP)--Big international racing classics, brins- Ing together the fastest horses of ( half .doSen countries, will Do c fea. ture of the post.war sports boom, according to Alex Robb, executive secretary of the Thoroughbred Rae. ing association of the United States.
 Recent developments in air trans. portation, which now permit quick movement of Army horses over long distances, will make possible these classics by eliminating lengthy ocean voyages and seasslekness Of thoroughbreds, Robb says.
 Chatting after last nights difls ner for the nations turf writers and track publicity men at the Waldorf. Astoria, Robb predietedi 'Three or four years after the war ends, we'll have horses from Engs land, France, Russia, Argentina, Chile, Mexico and other countries competing iii our major races, Bee cause of improved afr transporta. ton, they'll Do able Co do this without losing too much time from their homeland campaigns"
 Robb, on ultraseonserVative, IS c tall, bespectaeled man with temple gray in his dark hair, He looks like the haFdsheaded business executive no was when drafted Into racing c decade ago as C sort Of financial efficiency expert for the late WELLS Sharpe kilmer -- owner Of ExtefiIl- lntaor Sun Beau, Sun Brtar, etc.
 Because Robb now Is probably more familiar with the national rae. ing set.up than any other ifdivid- uai, he was asked; How fiueli money ls invested in racing in this eountry7"
 He replied, tat the time Of Pearl Harbor, the total United States investment in raeing-traeks, horses, stud farms, ete,--approxiniately Si00. .0o000o. That investment nate urally is worth Fiilsh more now" He added that, when the war began, racing gave employment to more than e0000 persons in the United states, thereby contributing to the livelihood of at least 240,000 pers sons-counting dependents.
 What will be the investment ifl U. s. racing five years after the war ends7
 He said, T believe the inycst- ment then will approximate $500. 100000. Interest in racing is ins creasing faster than in any other sport. Plans are in preparation for many new tracks when peace comes, Also more and more men of wealth. seeking aVoeations, are being attracted to the breeding of thoroughbreds."
 Robk said there are now about 90,: 900 thoroughbreds in the United states-counting gtalllonS, Inarves. Weanllngs and yearlingS, These bluebloods of the equine world res qulre special grains, hay and straw, thus providing employment and inc come for hundreds of farmers and ranchers who raise their high-grade fodder.
 Who actually supports this vast industry known as racing7
 Robb replied frankly, the avers age cltizen--the men and women who go to the track. It's the publlc's sport. It becomes more popular daily, as more people interest them. selves in the background .- the breeding of the thoroughbredS they watch in competition"

 Ed MeKeeVer
 Coach Of Week
BY JOE JAMES CUSTER United pPena Staff COrroenOndent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Oct. i0. (UP)--HC couldn't make the varsity i2 years ago, but to date he's the only un- defeated head coach in Notre Dame football history.
 He's smiling Edward Clark (Ed) McKeever, the United Press coach. of-the.week, who's elouted for the distance in oil six appearances at pinch. hitter for his boss.
 When illness benohed Frank Leahy in ie42, the chunky, brown haired McKeeVer came out of the background of baekfield-tutoring to lead the Irish to victories over Stanford, Iowa Seahawks and 1lli- IioiS. And in Leahy's serviee.absenee this season, MeKeever's roeketing Rambers have annihllated Pitt Tulane and Dartmouth and assumed their traditional role of leading con. tenders for the mythical national championship.
 Born in san Antonio, Texas, on Aug, 2b, 1910, young MeKeeVer waS on outstanding three-sport prepstef at st, Edwards in Austin, and won his frosh numerals at Notre Dame In 1880 in football, basketball and track.
 But in the spring he sat on the bench and watched the unbeatable combination led by Marehy Schwartz and realized he wasn't making tho grade in what proved to be Knutt Rockne'g last preseason drill. 4t he went to Texas Tech, Bparked thI Raiders as star passing halfbaeE ln three winning seasons, and upof graduation in 1884 became backflelt coach under Pete Cawthon,
 Chance crossed MeKeever's patf with Leahy In 1888, when they mel at Q coaching clinic conducted bJ Cawthon in the summer Of l03B Leahy, c line specialist as assistant Fordham coach, was SO impressed with MeKeeverS grasp of baekfleld play that when he took over the reins at Boston College the follow ing year he promptly prevailed upon the exuberant, popular MckceVei to become his assistant,
 Their success came both swiftly and surely: nine victories and thC Cotton Bowl bid the first seegon ii straight including Q Sugar Bow triumph in io40, and the coaehint trail led promptly to South Dent where they converted their in' augurai season Into Notre Dame'i first undefeated since the Rock'i mighty combination of il years be' fore.
 MeKeevors selection as Leahyt pinch. .hltter was popular choice especially on the South Bend caia' pus where he has been perhaps tht beSt-liked coach In recent years. A driver and diselplinarian who De. lieveS In condition as 0 cardine rule and expects his players to bt ready to give their ultimate best, ht tempers his praetIee.fleld serious ness with encouragement and pa tience, and the Irish play theii games flor the eoach".
 of the field, he is gay to tht point of exuberance, enjoys the eX citement and clamor permeatinl the football season, likes to minglI with the football mob" and or his day off takes In the pro game whenever possible.
 Handsome enough for the movie; McKeever has one of the most en gazing smiles in athletics, and of ten is referred to as MT. Person. ality Himself"

'SUBTERFUCE'
 DEFENSE NEW CRUSADER PLAN

 New York, Oct, 1g - (U.P,) - Coach John (OE) Da 0F0sa Of the tifibeaten Holy Gross Crusaders, lighting fire with fire, has decided that the only way to cop with the currently popular sWift-shifting Ofs fensiVe plays t1 football is to OpeTs ste defeBsiveiy in the same manner,
 Explaining his stand, he enpha- sized that there Is a cycle ifl prac- ticaiiy every sport where the Ofs fOnse rises to dominate the defenge aFld the pendulum eventually swings back in the other direction when coaches establish means Of combat ting the new stFeafnlined scoring teehniques,
 Da df0sa, an authority on defense because he Is the first coach to use 6 five man line for opposing f0F- ward passes, has come ID this sea- s0fl with what he describes as Q "subteFfuge defense" t0 combat the volatile 1T" formation,
 lie has been successful t0 the ex- tent that the Crusaders thus far have been scored upon in only one game while turning ifl @ points to for their combined opposition,
 This new defense isn't eOfnDii- cated," ne said, It Is based upon nothing isl0fe than confidence iil the average American boys intel- ligenGe instead Of having Q set de- fensiVe formation for each play, we shift OUT boys around and let the opposition figure olit where We are going t0 De hard to hit,
 "t trust their ability to think for themselves and thus OUT subter. fuged defense finds them IIlaneuVer- ing after the snap Of the bali so that the offensive bl0ekeFs do not know how to fulfil their assign. ffiGtlts, Sometimes we line the boys up iil 6 five flRn line, with four ifief1 in the secondary and two i1 safety position, Sometimes We go into a 6-Ss2s1 defense, a 6-2-2si, Q 7-2-2 oF even afl B-3, As long as we have eleven players we can shift them around i1 any number Of com. binati0f1s and the effect or the 0fS fense is pretty bafBng,"
 Da 6fosa said that the offensive teafn generally has R pattern with which t sets out to block and tries to create angles which make fol greater success,
 However, oiif defense does what the 6ffeilse does not expect from t and thus gets t into trouble try. ing t0 create those angles" he said We tied Dartmouth, a better team only because We confused them"
