Frank Leahy of Notre Dame is
reported to be campaigning for
Sid Luckman's appointment as
head coach of Ted Collins New
York Bulldogs. Reliable sources
say the Irish mentor has spared
no effort to convince Collins that
the veteran Chicago Bear quarter
back would be an excellent choice
and most National League veter-
ans will agree.
Leahy has had time to size up
Luckman's capabilities as a coach
from his annual spring visits to
Notre Dame where Sid helped the
master brew his potent T attack.
Numerous writer's give Luckman
much credit for the consistently
good T quarterbacks who appear
in the Irish backf1eld each
autumn. It is no secret that Leahy
considers Luckman one of the best
backf1eld coaches in the game.
New York would be natural
spot for Luckman, with his New
York Columbia University back
ground. His success as quarter
back for the Bears added to his
athletic stature and Luckman's
name is a household word among
football minded families Of the big
town. He would assure a "good
press" for Collins next season.
Leahy's departure from Notre
Dame has been rumored for the
last two years and he now is re-
ported to have made up his mind
definitely to resign after the 1850
campaign. Big business and not
another football post will bring
about the change, according to the
latest source. The same source
says Hugh Devore, Leahy's former
assistant who coached Notre Dame
in 1945, is next in line for the
South Bend job. Devore currently
Is enjoying successful tenure at
st. Bonaventure College, NY.
Elsewhere on the pro football
front Ray Flaherty, one-time Red
skin coach and the most success
full the Tribe ever had, is re-
ported to have applied for the
Baltimore Colts coaching position.
District fans would like that and
the rival club owners might, too,
for undoubtedly it would add fuel
to the Baltimore Washington
rivalry they must cook up to help
get the pro game back on its finan-
cial feet.

College Basketball
Title Likely 10 Go
To East or Midwest
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-n they
keep up the pace, the East and
Middle West look like the best bets
to turn out the college basketball
champion next March.
At this stage. 1t appears un-
likely that Kentucky will repeat
as NCAA titleholder. Neither does
San Francisco seem a good bet
any more to retain its national
invitation crown.
Here are Eastern quintets which
could come out ahead in March
(record in parentheses):
Holy Cros (5-o), st. Johns
1000, Duquesne (4-0). Long
Island q. CID. Villanova (7-o>
and City College GID.
Chief Middle West candidates
are: Bradley 17-1), Indiana (6-0)
Oklahoma GID, Illinois (5-2)
Kansas State (6-2) and Ohio State
GID.
Southern Fives Stronger.
Although Kentucky is weaker.
the South as a whole looks strong
er than last season. Rocky Noun
tain strength seems about the
same, while the Far West and
Southwest definitely are weaker.
Five clubs stand out in the
South: Kentucky (4-D, West Vir-
ginia GID, North Carolina State
(5-D, Western Kentucky (5-l)
and Tulane (8-1).
Colorado (7-O heads the Rocky
Mountain list, followed by Brig
ham Young (6-2). Utah (8-2) and
Wyoming (9-2).
The Southwest is having a bad
year all around. Arizona (5-D and
Baylor (4-3) top the salvage
squads.
In the Far West, Washington
State and California each dropped
four straight games on Eastern
swings in the last 10 days. Then
San Francisco and Southern Cali
fornia lost out in Madison Square
Garden.
A bright spot is q. c. L. A. (5-D.
which polished of Illinois at
Champaign. Washington gid,
San Francisco 3-2) and U. s.. c.
(6-2) can bring up the Coast rat
ing.
That's the tentative list to date.
It's certain to change by next
week. None Of those f1ves may get
to the finals Of the two major
tournaments. And who's to say
some small college. outfit won't
edge In?
It's hard for small schools to
crack the NCAA barrier, but the
national invitation sometimes In
vites the little ones.

The smaller colleges have their
own tournament, the National As
ISOLATION Of intercollegiate Bas-
|ketball. whose champion they rank
with the other two.
After this weeks heavy round

games, the front runners definitely
will begin to emerge.
What could be the top game OF
this week may come off Friday in
the Sugar Bowl finals: Kentucky
against Bradley. They'll meet If
Bradley knocks off Tulane and
Kentucky takes Villanova the
night before.

bers, including the plane owner who
signed on after one pilot refused to
fly because of an ice coating on the
aircraft.
The CAB said the fight had been
delayed about four hours because
of poor visibility. However. at 10

ne could see the approach lights at
the other end of the runway, which
is 1926 feet long.

settled back down and crashed into
a hanger. the CAB said.
