KAYE Daily Sports Editor Several major coaching changes highlighted the national football scene during the recent between' semesters publication lull. Most profound of the develop- ments was the sudden resignation of Notre Dame's near-immortal Frank Leahy and the succession of 25-year-old Terry Brennan to what is generally considered the most publicized position in foot- ball. S * * LEAHY'S DECISION to term- inate his unbelievably successful (113 wins 13 losses and nine ties in 13 seasons) coaching career was based entirely on declining health. He collapsed between the halves of the Georgia Tech game early in the season suffering from an acute abdominal dis- order and was not at full effi- ciency for the remainder of the year. He heard his team play Navy from a hospital sickbed and was kept in South Bend by doctors when the Irish traveled to Los Angeles to play Southern California in the season's final game. Brennan, althougb one of the youngest men ever to take the coaching reins at a major univer- sity, brings to his job an out-! standing record at Chicago's Mt. Carmel High School. HE WAS BROUGHT in as an assistant last season.

The Irish, playing at South Bend before a frenzied home audience had not scored on Army in three years. Brennan grabbed the opening kick-off and blazed down the sidelines for the first touchdown in a 27-7 Notre Dame victory. Brennan's big task during the coming season will be to lead the Irish to victory over Mich- igan State. The Spartans under Biggie Munn pasted Notre Dame three times in succession in 1950-51-52. Major coaching changes also occurred at East Lansing follow- ing the elevation of line 'coach Hugh D. (Duffy) Daugherty to the position formerly held by Munn. Steve Sebo, Munn's back- field coach took the job left va- cant by the outspoken George Munger at the University of Penn- sylvania, and Earle Edwards, who had been end coach at East Lan- sing since 1949, was lured to North Carolina State THE UNIVERSITY of Kansas, like North Carolina State, looking to an upsurge in football fortunes reached into the heart of the Big Ten country to secure the services of the best known high school coach in Ohio-Massillon's superb Chuck Mather. The Texas Aggles, once the scourge of Southwest gridirons, and dormant since the bright days of Homer Norton before the war, have gone to Lexingtno, Kentucky, to take from the Wildcats their highly successful Paul (Bear) Bryant. Another successful coach, Mur- ray Warmath of Mississippi State, took over at the University of Minnesota replacing Wes Fesler. Warmath's greatest accomplish- ments were achieved while coach- ing the Army lines for Earl Blaik at West Point during the war. For Revenge By KEN COPP Sparked by the impressive per- formance of Harold "Pepper" Holt the Michigan wrestlers upset the Panthers of Pittsburgh by a 16-11 score yesterday afternoon at Yost Field House. Last year Coach Cliff Keen's squad lost the second meet to Pittsburgh by a score of 19-9 and this later turned out to be the Wolverines only loss of the season. HOLT WHO was wrestling in the 177-pound division battled vet- eran Joe Solomon during the first seven minutes with the score even By DAVE BAAD Coach Newt Loken's dreams for the 1954 Big Ten gymnastics title took an abrupt turn for the worse during the 'two weeks between semester's interlude. Not only did the Wolverines drop two meets, one each to Illi- nois and Iowa, but all-around star Harry Luchs and trampoliner Ron Fox, have been declared ineligible because of scholastic difficulties. LUCHS, 1952 parallel bar cham- pion, and a consistent all around performer, was expected to grab valuable points in the Conference meet next month at Columbus. After whipping Wisconsin in convincing fashion, 64-32, to open vacation action, Michigan, according to Loken was miser- able while absorbing 55-41 and 481-47% defeats at the hands of the Illini and Hawkeyes re- spectively. Luchs picked up Michigan's only first place against Illinois with the rest of the team being far off form. In several key spots the Wolverine entries failed even to complete their routines. * * * THE WOLVERINE loss to Iowa was a surprise. The failure of Lee Krumbholz to come through with a victory in the side horse and the loss of expected import- ant points in the flying rings were the main causes of the defeat. With captain Marv Johnson Michigan swept the high bar and managed a one-two per- formance in the parallel bars. Bill Winkler, first year tramp man, turned in an impressive performance in his specialty and pressed Iowa's NCAA champion- ship duo, Bob Hazlett and Jim Norman, before picking up a close third. Led by Johnson, who turned in one of the best performances of his career, Michigan had little trouble disposing of Wisconsin. The versatile Maize and Bue cap- tain captured victories in every event he entered, annexing thef top high bar, parallel bars, flying rings and tumbling point totals. SPORTS KEN COPP Night Editor WINKLER won the trampling competition to give the Wolver- ines five out of six firsts. Although the loss of Luchs dam- pens Loken's chance for his first Big Ten title, the picture isn't completely black. Frank Adams, star of last year's team, will re- turn to action this Saturday against Minnesota. I 2f'* -S 0 r '%1 Gymnasts Adams, out first semester due to ineligibility, will replace Luchs in the high bar and help Winkler carry the load on the trampoline. Mavroudias Antoniou will also compete for the first time this season in the Gopher meet and should provide side horse and parallel bar depth. LOWER PRICES Downtown - 307 N.

This performance of Holt's proved to be the winning fac- tor as he gained three points for the Wolverines who now have a record of three wins in the five meetings with Coach Rex Perry's grapplers. In the 157-pound division Mike Rodriguez battled Charles Uram to an even 1-1 decision. Uram is one of the best wrestlers in the nation and definitely proved this last season when he placed third in the 1953 NCAA meet. * * s TWO-TIME NCAA champion Hugh Peery of Pittsburgh defeat- ed Wolverine Frank Hirt in the 123-pound division by a score of 11-3. In the second match of the afternoon Andy Kaul defeated Bill Kozy by a decisive score of 7-2. Kaul who is now in his second year of inter-collegiate competition boasts an undefeat- ed record in dual meets. In the following match, the 147- pound event, Don Haney gained an impressive 11-4 victory over George Matthews to add three points to the Wolverine score- board. 123-Hugh Peery (P) defeated Frank Hirt (M), 11-3. 130-Snip Nalan (M) defeated Ron Kurtz (P), (forfeit). 137-Andy Kaul (M) defeated Bill Rozy (P), 7-2. 147-Don Haney (M) defeated George Matthews (P), 11-4. 157-Mike Rodriguez (M) and Charles Uram (P), 1-1, (draw). 167-Ed DeWitt (P) defeated Bron- son Rumsey (M), 8-2. 177-Harold "Pepper" Holt (M) de- featfd Joe Solomon (P), 9-7.
