More Than ! 900 Friends
Pay Tribute to Aheorn

rector Of the International Box
ing Club, came down from New
York to make a speech. Un-
scheduled as a speaker, but
nevertheless a riot when he took
over the podium was Slapsie
Make Rosenbloom. former light
heavyweight champion.
And SO it went. Attorney
Charlie Ford came on to remi-
niSce about a case he once ham
died for Ahearn and how ever
since he has gotten his fee in
free fight tickets. Garry Quinn
president of the Atlas Club
which backed the affair, came
up to present a check for the
Damon Runyon Cancer Fund
The party really was a Cancer
Fund benefit, because Ahearn at
first refused to have any part
of testimonial for him, and
finally agreed only because all
the proceeds go to the fund.
Distinguished guests there
were aplenty, with Robert. E.
Mclaughlin, president of the
Board of Commissioners, head
ing the official party along with
members of the judiciary. Ex-
boxing greats were all over the
place, such as Billy Conn, Jimmy
Braddock, Barney Ross, Tony
Canzoneri. Bob Olin, Lew Tend
Ter and Gus Lesnevich.
Those who couldn't get there
sent their regards in kilograms;
the stack of wires included those
from Vice President Nixon,
Calvin Griffith. Joe Louis and
Floyd Patterson.
Goldie. as is only proper. and
only natural with him, had the
last eword.
Looking over the size Of the
crowd, he thanked everyone for
the wonderful turnout. Then he
said: Il only hope you all come
out for my next boxing show
January 4. Don't forget the date,
January A."

The Philadelphia Eagles ap-
pearance here Sunday against
the Redskins brings up the old
question of whether a nice guy
can be a winning football coach
No question about it, 46-year-
old Hugh Devore is a nice guy
a real gentleman. Nor is there
any question that his Eagles
with a 3-6-1 record. aren't q
winning team.
Eddie Hogan, who goes around
spreading stories and telling
tales about the Eagles, admits
Devore is a most unusual anc
refreshing guy" whose record
should not be held against him
I'VE didn't have any offensive
line until last week, when we got
Abe Gibron from the Browns,
Eddie explained. "They put Glib.
ron at left guard and Buck Lans.
ford at left tackle. That enabled
them to put Frank Wydo al
right tackle, where he likes il
better, with Bob Peflegrini oi
Maryland at right guard. That
combination clicked, and ]
think we should have beaten the
Browns, but you know what
happened"
At any rate. Hogan said, De-
vore is held in high esteem by
the Eagles brass. They think
he's gotten a lot Of mileage out
of the material and that the
future is bright with promise

Devore is a family man, de-
voted to his wife and seven chill
Idren. He makes a round trip of
some 100 miles each day between
mis- West Orange, N. j., home
and Philadelphia, rather than
take an apartment in the city.
And he's on the job every morn
ing at 8, spending all day and
much of the night coaching
going over films and personnel
problems.

the players problems as he does

Bobby Walston's 15-month-old
son was taken to the hospital
with pneumonia last Saturday
night--that's why Bobby dropped
a sure touchdown pass against
the Browns-and / know Hugh
was Just as upset and worried
as Walston. Even the wives tell
him their troubles.
"One of those clubs in West
Orange gave a dinner in Hughey's S
honor last May" Hogan con-
tinued. "They had eight speakers
and they mentioned everything
but his football career. 1t was
all about Devore the man. They
even named a street after him.
I'VE played the San Francisco
Forty Miners on November rs,
IDevore'S birthday, and when he
Igot to the dressing room there
was a big bouquet of flowers
from the players. He's really
popular with them, and yet he's
been tough"
~ y
Devore was so quiet at last
weeks preliminary draft meet
ing at Philadelphia he could have
been mistaken for a hotel en-
ploye. He speaks so low it's hard
to catch the words. but there is
a decided transformation on the
football field, where his favorite
expression-and probably stern
est-is: Let's do it my way"
1t was Norman Wiley, the big
end, who said he was very happy
to go to bed" in training camp
because he knew then he could
take off the pads. The Eagles
practiced in pads and helmets

and a green squad, the new coach
had to find out what he had.
Hard work was the only way to
do it.
Devore, an inveterate cigarette
smoker and coffee drinker, is
one Of the rookie coaches of the
National Football League, al
though he spent a season as as
Sistant to Gene Ronzani at Green
Bay in 1858. When he picked
Steve Owen. one of the Oldest pro
coaches, as his right bower, some
wondered if the Arrangement
would work out satisfactorily.
Apparently they hit it of like a
couple Of old shoes. Hogan says
Steve doesn't want the pressure
and headaches of the top lob.
but enjoys keeping his finger in.
He has done an outstanding Job
on defense.
Devore, who played football
at Notre Dame in the early
1930s. has been around as a
coach. He was one of Frank
Leahy'S top assistants in l943
and took over the reins in
ll945 when the master" was
Serving in the Navy. Hughey
was assistant at Fordham and
Holy Cross and head coach at
Providence, st. Bonaventure and
New York University.
| His Oldest son, 17-year-old
/ Hugh, jr.. is a freshman at Notre
Dame, but not a football player.
Sixteen-year-old George, how
ever, is halfback and co-cap-
tain of Our Lady of the Valley
High School eleven at West
Orange.
Devore has turned out formid-
able and colorful teams but
never has come up with a big"
winner. It's one of the few cases
on record where a coach who
doesn't win consistently retains
his popularity with almost every
body.
