Joe Kuharich Takes Over As Irish Coach SOUTH BEND, Ind. Kuharich will get first hand information today about prospects for his first Notre Dame football team, and it's likely the outline will predict a rocky path to return to undefeated grid greatness. Kuharich was to come to the campus to interview the assistants of the ousted Terry Brennan and attend a press luncheon to discuss the future. He’ll probably also view a few films of 1958 Irish games. * But it’s unlikely the films or the assistants will be able to give him a bright picture for his second tour as a college coach. The 1959 Irirfh will be without 23 players who were main cogs in the 1958 eleven which won 6 of 10 games, a record poor enough to induce the discharge of Brennan. Kuharich was to confer with all of Brennan’s helpers. Among them were two former college head coaches who earlier were classed among the contenders for the head coaching job — Bernie Crim mins, once head coach at Indiana, and Huge Devore, head ' coach of Dayton and the Philadelphia Eagles before he joined ; the Irish staff. Firing Arouses Controversy ( Meanwhile, the dismissal of , Brennan aroused considerable ’ controversy across the nation. At Baton Rouge, Paul Dietzel of Louisiana State University, who was "Coach of the Year,” termed Notre Dame’s action a “disgrace to the school." “Anybody taking that job now should have his head examined,” Dietzel said. “Firing Brennan will have the effect of setting football back at Notre Dame 20 years.” In a front page story in the Detroit Times, sports editor Edgar Hayes blamed Brennan’s, loss of job on Knute Rockne-era alumni an&the old guard on the Notre Dame hierarchy. Hayes tgaid a "small but powerful” group of alumni, “headed by a Cleveland attorney,” has campaigned actively against Brennan since the terrible 1956 season of the Fighttaß Irish- £ . The old guard,,,Hayes safi, baft' been tiding to relive the glory days under Rockne, but “they refuse to recognize what every sound football man knows today: That no team can play the schedule that Notre Dame does and win all of its games.” Team Members Angry Members of the Notre Dame team in Santa Clatra,Calif., for the Shrine game called the firing “rotten.” Guard Al Ecuyer said the firing was a "surprise,” but “I don’t think it was called for. I feel real bad about it." Fullback Nick Pietrosante felt it was a "pretty rotten thing. They don’t know what they did to themselves." Attorney Joseph Brennan, brother of the ex-coach, fired a blast at Notre Dame and accused the school of “throwing put the pious pronouncements and going out to win ’at all costs.’ ” Other members of Brennan’s family were equally bitter. Terry’s fattier, Martin said it was an "ill-timed thing to do to a man with four kids, especially just be-

It was possible that he might retain some of Brennan’s assistants after today’s ( interviews, and if so, he might ( name part of his staff at today’s j luncheon.

Spahn Monopolizes Pitching Honors NEW YORK (UPD—Southpaw Warren Spahn of Milwaukee made such a monopoly of National League pitching honors this year that he left practically no laurels for anyone else, the official averages revealed today. The 37-year-old ace, who defeated the Yankees twice in the World Series and then was beaten himself in the sixth game, compiled a 22-11 record last season and set a major league record by becoming the first lefthanded pitcher to win 20 or more games in nine different seasons. En route to that mark, Spahn wound up in a tie for the league leadership in two important departments and reigned alone as the league leader in three other categories. * About the only major honor he missed was the earned run title which went to right-hander Stu Miller of San Francisco. Miller fashioned a 2.47 ERA while winning six games and losing nine. Spahn, whose 3.07 earned run average was fourth best in the Circuit, tied teammage Lew Burdette (20-10) for the best won-lost percentage, .667, and also wound up in a deadlock with Bob Friend at Pittsburgh for the most victories. In addition, the veteran Milwaukee curve-bailer pitched the most complete games, 23; the most innings, 290, and faced the most batters, 1,176. • « • Welcome Wagon ceje- J • brates the arrival of each • • new baby with a friendly < • call—with a basket of J J gifts and congratulations J J of the entire community.

Week's Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams TUESDAY Yellow Jackets at Bluffton. Marquette Is Upset Winner Over Xavier By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press International Eddie Hickey, that razzle-dazzle man from St. Louis, is making those sports-happy fans in Milwaukee as wild about basketball as they are about their belowed Braves. A crowd of 7,100 howled with joy Monday night as the Marquette University team, which had just handed high-ranked Xavier of Ohio its first loss of the season, 86-71, carried little Professor Hickey off the court on their shoulders. For Hickey, who came to Marquette this season from St. Louis University where his famed fastbreak made that school ope of the nation’s greatest in basketball, is compiling an amazing first year in the Braves’ home town. Lost Only One Monday night’s triumph, in which Marquette led all the way against last season’s “Cinderella” champions of the National Invitation Tournament, was the eighth in nine starts for Hickey’s squad, whose only loss was by a single basket to Nebraska in the third game of the season. Xavier, ranked eighth nationally with a nine-game winning streak, pulled up twice to within five points during the second half but each time the Warriors pulled away again. All five Marquette starters scored in double figures, led by Mike Moran with 26 points, a vain effort for Xavier. Big Ten basketball prestige, which took a good battering in games played Saturday, rallied Monday night as Northwestern, Minnesota, and Ohio State scored victories over invaders from the West. Wildcats Beat Washington Northwestern, ranked 10th nationally, pushed its record to 5-1 by chalking up a 75-69 victory over 18th-ranked Washington at Evanston, 111. Trailing with 12 minutes to go, the Wildcats rushed into a 10-point lead during the next tout minutes, then stood off a late Washington rally as Joe Ruklick and Nick Mantis shared scoring honors with 18 points each. At Columbus, Ohio, Ohio State ripped off 53 points in the first half and romped to a 92-69 win over Utah, which shares the No. 18 national ranking with Washington. The first-half spurt by the Buckeyes, who went into the game with a 1-4 record, opened a 24point margin and Utah never could close the gap as Dick Furry led Ohio State with 22 points. Minnesota, on the othfer hand, had to rally from a nine-point halftime deficit to beat Stanford, 72-61, at Minneapolis. Ron Johnson led the Gophers with 23 points. Other Games In other leading games Monday night: Arlen Clark’s 20 points led Oklahoma State to a 66-54 win over a Southern California team whose leading scorer, Jerry Pimm, underwent an emergency appendectomy earlier in the day; big Tom Robitaille scored 22 to lead Rice to an 81-69 win over New Mexico; Georgia Tech walloped Wyoming, 110-78, to break its school scoring record and the Atlantic Coliseum mark as little Terry Randall set the pace with 22; Seattle beat Marshall, 91-80, as Francis Saunders hit 28; Brigham Young beat St. Mary’s (Calif.), 72<67; Dave Klurman’s 27 led College of Pacific to a 76-63 win over lona College; Don Newhook’s 20 points led 17th-ranked St. Bonaventure to a 91-43 win over Ohio Wesleyan; Texas Western downed Missouri, and Oregon edged winiess Montana, 70-69. ■■ .. ..£ ’ NEW PENNY— This la reverse side of the riew Lincoln penny on which coinage begins Jan. 2.

Coifs Favored To Beat Giants For Pro Crown BALTIMORE, Md. (UPD—The Baltimore Colts, champs of the Western Division, swung into their final phase of stepped-up practice today for their Sunday clash with the highly - touted New York Giants, conquerors of the Eastern Division, for the NFL championship. If a psychologist were calling the turns, he probably would concur with the odds-makers and pick the Colts. The Baltimore club was installed an early 3% point, or 3-2, favorite to beat the strongfinishing Giants before a crowd of at least 70,000 in Yankee Stadium. The Colts were early favorites despite a 24-21 loss to the New Yorkers earlier this year. Doubtless one of the factors being considered was that Baltimore, a I ■ «

truly polished ball club, couldn’t continue its season - end losing streak while New York continued to pull rabbits out of the hat. The Colts, who lost only one game before their final swing to the West Coast, suddenly nosedived and bowed to both the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers, the latter a real lackluster contest in which Baltimore flashed none of the spirit it showed earlier in the season. It stands to reason, supporters argue, that going against New York with the chips down the Baltimore Club will have to capture some of its old spark. One thing is certain. When Baltimore jogs onto the field Sunday, the Giants will have more than a Jimmy Brown to contain. They will face the triple threat of precision passing by quarterback Johnny Unitas, line-smash-ing running by Alan (The Horse) Ameche and the deceptive dashes of Lenny Moore who is second only to a shadow in the hard-to-catch department. Cheering Baltimore will be some 15,000 fans who grabbed up the visiting team’s ticket allotment the same day it went on I sale.
