Frank Leahy Joins New Foolball Loop LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Frank Leahy, returning to football after three years retirement, Said today he accepted a post as general manager of the Los Angeles entry in the new professional American Football Lague as a huge challenge. “I accept this assignment with much joy and am most grateful to Barron Hilton and his associates for giving me the opportunity of working and residing in Los Angeles,” said Leahy after the announcement of his $50,000 a year front office post. It will mark the first time the fabulously successful college coach ever has held a front office job. The hiring of Leahy was understood to be part of the new team’s fight for recognition in a city where the Rams of the National Football League regularly draws huge crowds. Leahy, who first gained fame for coaching Fordham’s famous seven Blocks of Granite line in the 19305, compiled a record of 107 victories, 13 losses and nine ties during his career as a head coach at Boston College and Notre Dame. At Notre Dame, Leahy had a record of 87-11-9 and won national championships in 1943, 1947, 1948 and 1949. He was chosen Coach of the Year each time. The new entry in the American Football League has yet to indicate' who its coach might be.

Cleveland Williams Wins By Knockout HOUSTON, Tex. (UPD — Herculean Cleveland Williams, elated over hu 10th round knockout Wednesday nignt of Curley Lee, clamored today for another crack at Sonny Liston, who knocked him out the last time they fought. Williams, who weighs 211 pounds and is built like a blacksmith, went a long way toward restoring his reputation before a national television audience with his impressive win over Lee. It appeared that the 181-pound Los Angeles boxer would weather the fight despite being repeatedly staggered by Williams and floored twice in the fifth round. But, with 58 seconds gone in the 10th. Williams put across a crushing left hook that sent Lee to the canvas for the full count. Lee was unconscious for at least a full minute before he stirred. It was his second loss in 17 professional fights and Williams’ 45th win against 3 losses — 38 of them by knockout.
