I Jess Neely Is Named Coach Os The Week j . J New York. Get 30 11'1’4 Except for the southern drawl that doesn't go with his rugged features, he might be mistaken for Abraham Lincoln and he hax the- same honest and straightforward principles about coaching football. Ills schtsd is the smallest In a rough, tough conference with an enrollment of 1.500 and its academic standards are the highest. But he reasons logically that kids with good grades can play belter football than athletic tramps with low scholastii- marks and lie refuses to go out alter top-flight talent. The talent instead comes to him. lle'ii the I'nited Press coach of the week, genial Jess Neely of the Rice institute Owls who upset mighty Texas, 18 to 13 last Saturday. It Is the second time in as many years that Neely hax been named coach of the week for beating Texas which has come to be his siiecialty It happened three years in a row now with Rice In the underdog role each time. I gist Saturday's Job, however, was the biggest he ever accomplished as Rice coach. Texas was riding high with a perfect record and In many quarters was being rated higher than Army's crashing Cadets. Neely put a stop to that trend of thought. He put a new kind of a Rice team on the field, one that hammered Texas right Into the ground with Jabbing short but steady gains from the "T" formation. Thia was something new for a Neely team, since prior to the current season his lioya operated out a single wing and threw passes with the aban don of most Southwest conference teams. "I didn't point for Texas, but I gues, the boys did," Neely said. "It sure Is a relief to look down the bench and see boys that you know you can depend on. I guess we won this game because I hap pened to be lucky enough to be attached to a hunch of boys who wanted to win It." The 48-year-old Neely says his material this year is the best In his 20year coaching career, hut he Isn't optimistic over the future, because he think* other teams have <-<irres|Hindlngly Improved Players. To date. Rice has won four games and lost but one, 7 to 6 to l<oulsiana State on a muddy field in Rs opener. The Owls have run up 118 |*dnts against 33 for their combined opposition and are tied with Texas A A M for the Southwest conference lead. Neely, former Vanderbilt football star, a native of Smyrna. Tenfi., was a member of the great commodore teams of Dan MeDugin from 1920 to 1922. His players feature the same driving type of game as that of Mcaugln's assistant, Wallace Wade, now at Duke Neely broke In a* a grid coach under Wade at Alabama although he had a short stretch after graduation as baseball coach at Princeton.
