Muha 10 Quit Eagles
After Today's Game
For Teaching Career
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 9.-Joe
Muha. the Philadelphia Eagles
brilliant defensive fullback. Is
quitting professional football for
what he hopes will be a college
teaching and coaching career.
Muha said today he isn't kid
ding about leaving the pro ranks.
II know a lot Of athletes say
many times they're quitting and
then play several more years. But
not me. Tomorrow's game with
the Giants will be my last game
in pro football. My best playing is
behind me and I'm getting out
to start working on my future"
The serious-minded Muha Is 60
ing to complete his studies at the
University of Southern California
in June. He is working on a mas
ter's degree. Then he hopes to
teach economics at some college
or university, coaching football
on the side.
Terrific Line Backer.
Muha'S decision to quit probably
will be applauded by the National
Football Leagues offensive backs.
They know better than anyone
else what 1t feels like to be hit
by the 215-pound native of Nc
Kees Rock. Pa. The Eagles defen-
sive ace didn't come by the name
of "Jolter" for nothing.
Earle Greasy Neale. Eagles
coach. says emphatically that
Muha is the greatest defensive
linebacker" in pro ball. And
Greasy adds that he's not using
the word greatest" loosely.
The 29-year-old Muha came to
the Eagles as their No. / draft
choice in 1943, but never played
a game until 1916. The Marines
had first call on his services. After
winning battle decorations and q
Marine commission he joined the
Eagles and was a dig factor in the
team that won three Eastern di-
vision titles and two NIL G. am
pionships. His booming kickoffs
which sailed over the goal post
and into the upper deck of Shibe
Park were a noted offensive
weapon.
Cleared Way for Van Buren,.
AS the blocking back in Neale's
system, he cleared many a path
for the hard-running Steve Van
Buren and also provided protec-
Jion for Passer Tommy Thompson.
Too, big Joe was the leagues lead
ing punter in 1948 with an average
of 47.2 yards per try. He once
booted one 81 yards from scrim-
mage.
Hampered by injuries this sea-
son, Muha has played mostly on
defense. And as might has been
expected, the one-time Virginia
Military Institute star was terrific
at the job.

mo, it's not true that Mr..
Mcbride must cool his heels and
wait until Brown will see him, "
said Russ Gestner, publicity man
for the Cleveland Browns. after
all, Mcbride owns the club. Paul.
as general manager, determines
the policy and he adheres to a
rigid schedule, but it's not true
that Mcbride must get an ap-
pointment to talk to him."
1t apparently was one Of the
tall tales going the rounds about
the somewhat mysterious Mr..
Brown, whose pro football pupils
dominated the All-America Con-
ference for four years and now
make their debut before Wash
ington fans against the Redskins
today.
Browns friends say he's one
Of the smartest Of coaches. Some
not so friendly and those who
don't know him insist he's lucky.
Those who know him say he's
friendly and others say he's high
hat and aloof. In fact. some Of
his detractors point to his large
staff of assistants and claim they
do all the work.
Some Impressions Corrected.
Personally, we have found Brown
to be polite, but not as warm. for
example, as Coach Herman Ball
of the Redskins. He'll answer
questions freely and bring up some
points that might have been over
looked. There is no doubt that
he's a perfectionist and, like any
coach. hates to lose. But Gestner
helped clear up a lot of the mys-
terry and correct most of the wrong
impressions about Brown.
Much Of the Browns success
can be traced to the coach's exact
ing work schedule, a flve-day week
program. with meetings in the
morning and long workouts on the
field after lunch. This is reduced
as the season progresses.
Before q game. Brown checks
with the equipment manager to
make sure soap. towels. hot water.
ETC.. have been ordered for the
dressing room and If all necessary
playing equipment Is ready.
