That's Redskin Cooch Joe Kuhorich

Then he entered the Navy for IS
months, returned to play for the
Cards in AS, coach the line for
Jock Sutherland of the Pittsburgh
Steelers in as and finally took over
as head coach of the University of
San Francisco in AT.
The one time honor student at
Notre Dame was a big success at
San Francisco, winning Is and los
ing IA in his four years with the
Dons. He climaxed his reign with
an unbeaten, united season in 81
and seven of his players made the
grade in pro ball.
His best year was his last, how
ever, for he resigned. II knew
football was to be abandoned" he
says, land 1 wanted to make myself
available" So the Cards signed
him.
Although he did the Chicago
team a favor by drafting his own
college fullback, Ollie Matson, Ku-
harich and the front Office did not
see eye to eye and he was released.
chiefly because he was told to fire
his assistants. Between that job
and his signing with the Redskins
he spent 1858 serving as game scout
for Los Angeles, Green Bay and
Baltimore

BY offering the head job to Ku-

In 1852, incredibly, Joe also had

to do nothing that would spoil our
friendship. But he told me: Any
thing you do has my blessing"
Torn by dissension and low in
spirit, the Redskins won only three
games and lost nine during Kuhar
ich'S first season and finished next
to last. Wisely, Marshall threw out
this record and renewed JOe'S con-
tract, first for one year and little
later for three. Marshall thinks
Kuharich will be the first to lead
the Redskins to a conference title
since bud DeGroot in 1945 and per-
hapS the first clear-cut champion
ship since Ray F'laherty turned the
trick in 1912.
At Notre Dame in 1861, Ku-
harich was a regular guard under
Elmer Layden. When he graduated
he spurned pro ball to be freshman
coach at his alma mater in 1888
and then moved to Vincentian In
stitute at Albany, N. Y, as a head
coach in 1885, There he took a
squad that hadn't won in two years
and led it to seven victories in
nine games

resident of Alexandria, Kuharich
has made the rounds in his 80
years In 1901 he played guard
for the pro Cardinals, calling Of

Tonight's final preliminary

Downes of the Quantico Marines

Sawyer, voted the outstanding
