 WASHINGTON = Insiders credit wise old Chief Justice Fred Vinson for the meek and mild way his friend Harry Truman came back to Washington.
 2 It was the sagacious Chief Jus tice, they say, who sat on the beach at Key West during the days when the President was receiving his worst defeats and gently gave him counsel about how to get along with Congress.
 Probably no one outside of Bess Truman has more influence with the President than the Chief Jus tice. He has tuck with him at all times, especially when the going was tough. He never gets ruffled, never goes off on tangents, always puts the country's interests first.
 Furthermore. no one else around Truman Is in a better position to

Frank Leahy of Notre Dame

he said yesterday. The idea, of
course. is to help give the Tribe
mentor a solid foundation in
the Information.
Here on a brief visit, Leahy
was unstinting in his praise of
the Tribes new boss. The
Notre Dame mentor never has
been known to speak disparag-
ingly of his worst enemy. but
his warm words about Whelchel
were more than stereotyped
professional praise. He really
likes the guy.
Leahy was one OF the first to
know that Whelchel had been
offered the Redskin berth.
They met at Norfolk more than
a month ago and the admiral
told him then he was seriously
considering accepting the posi-
ton. Leahy came to Washing
ton after that and. even while
his name was being prominently
mentioned for the job, recon-
mended the admiral to Leo De
Orsey, a close friend and vice
president of the Tribe.
I'VE played two of his
teams" he reminded us. "ano
were just a little too lucky for
him. The 80 game at Cleve-
land was a real close call. I
think Washington got a good
coach in this man he'll sur

Leahy said that if Whelchel
is able to visit South Bend for
only a couple of weeks it will
help him. but he warned that
the admiral will have to be up
with the chickens and burn
the midnight oil to absorb it.
You can spend "a hours
day on the T and still not know
it ALL" he added. I'VE learn
something new every day. every
week, every year at Notre
Dame. 1t depends on the indi-
vidual, of course. but anybody
has got to put in time master
ing the T."
Sid Luckman, Chicago Bear
quarterback. has helped out at
Notre Dame at various times
in the past. but there will be
no outside aid on the campus
this spring, Leahy said. But
Whelchel will have one of the
best tutors in the country in
the shrewd, soft-spoken Irish
man many football experts put
at the top of the list.
Luckman was the first foot
ball man approached py Leany
after he got the green light to
replace the old and traditional
Notre Dame shift.
II went to Father Kava-
naugh, who then was vice pres
ident but now is president of
Notre Dame" Leahy said, "and
asked permission to make the
change. I told him I might be
doing an imprudent thing in
making the change, but he said
that if I thought it was the
thing to do to go ahead"
From Luckman the Irish
coach went to George Halas of
the Bears and then to Clark

King Capable Of Fine
Comeback Attempt
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Sandy
Saddler, a vicious knockout win
ner over Willie Pep last October,
is a surprising underdog in to-
nights Madison Square Garden
rematch, the first defense of his
world featherweight title.
The first Garden sellout crowd
since Rocky Graziano fought
Marty Servo in 1916, more than
1880, will watch slim Sandy
from Harlem try to prove it was
no mistake when he f1attened Pep
in 2::38 of the fourth last October
20. The pick here is Saddler,
probably by knockout. in less
than the 15-round limit.
The fight will be broadcast in
Washington over Radio Station
WMAL and televised over WNBW,
both starting at 10 pm.
Pep's loyal Connecticut clients
are responsible for the sellout with
at least 5000 from Hartford. New
Haven and Bridgeport coming to
town with cash to back their
opinions. They can't believe that
Pep, beaten only once in 1876 fights
before he met Sandy, was whipped
by such a Johnny-co come Lately.
Pep Likely ST. Choice.
Newspaper. radio and television
reports to the contrary, they are
going heavy on Wee Willie. the
pride of Hartford, who was a big
5-to-14 favorite in October. It's
likely the ex-champ will go in to-
night a 5-to-7 choice. although
the odds have f1uctuated wildly
during the last two weeks.
Pep opened as the favorite. but
Saddler went out front as much
as S to 8 at one stage. Back to
even money Wednesday. Pep took
over as 5-to-6 favorite last
night. Which way the dough
Jumps now will depend on the do
ing after the noon weigh-in. It's
the biggest betting fight in years,
according to all reports.
At 26 Pep is fighting for his
flstic life as a beaten champ. His
brilliant record will be obscured by
another loss to Sandy, a spindle
legged Negro with the left-handed
punching power of welterweight.
II Pep loses they'll label him "all

Saddler Still Is Hungry"
Saddler, only %, still is the
hungry" fighter. From 1914 until
last October. Manager Charley
Johnston led Sandy step by step
up the ladder in the feather class.
When he was judged ready he
came through in fine style. but the
payof was small. To get the title
shot, Saddler took only 10 per
cent of the gross $55, ISL to so per
cent for Pep. This time each will
receive 80 per cent from a gross
that will be around $4,000.
In any event. a new indoor
record for the 1885, pound class will
be set. The old mark is $71. 1863
for Pep-Chalky Wright in 1912.
the night Willie first won the
crown.
The years have taken something
from Pep. There is no doubt about
that. He doesn't have the old
speed, perhaps due to a plane
crash in 1945. He is hit by punches
that he would have blocked or
lodged in other days. How far he
has gone back will be learned
tonight.
Perhaps Saddler has the style
to beat Pep. 1t looked SO in
October. Willie is master at the
art of spinning an opponent. but
he couldn't handle Sandy. When
he tried to twist Saddler he ran
into that left hand uppercut that
decided the fight.
In the history of the division no
126-pound ruler, recognized in all
States, has ever regained the title.
