1t was a far cry from the
stunning vault of l6 feet -

bettered the Southwestern

Penske Scores
With Ease in
Auto Trials

Pa, drove his Cooper Monaco
to an apparently effortless VIC
tory over the other big modi-
fled cars yesterday in the ninth
and last qualifying heat for to-
days Sports Csr Club of Amer

generated in the two heats just

TURNING POINT OF A CAREER
Coach in High School
Was Nugent's Ideal

A high school football coach
made a college football coach
out of Tom Nugent.
II was a junior at Lawrence
Mass High School," Nugent
recalls. when / made up my
mind what I wanted to be. The
reason was Mark Devlin, the
coach. He was real driving
sort with an inSpirational style
He had great teams.
in a city of 100000 he would
have 200 boys out for practice. ~
Teacher Remembered 1t
The English teacher asked
the students to write a theme
on their ambitions.
II wrote that / wanted to be
a college football coach" the
head football coach at the Uni
versity of Maryland says. 81
know because years later, after
I finally made it, the teacher
contacted me and told me about
the theme. I had forgotten it;
she hadn't"
Nugent went to Ithaca Col
lege. where he played halfback
in football, third base in base
ball, some basketball and ran
the dashes and broad jumped
in track. In 1910 he received
a slight jolt to his plans.
Il was the first guy in the
whole town to be drafted" he
says. so l had to go away for
a year, except that it turned
out to be five years"
Nugent trained future fliers
for the Army Air Corps, sending
as many as 1000 young mer
through rugged physical exer-
cises each day. 1t proved to
be valuable experience for his
later work in football.
Now in his fourth year at
Maryland. the personable head
coach previously spent six years
at Florida State and four years
at VMI. He lives on campus
with his wife and they have
their own team now:
