six members answered roll call,
but four visitors helped to make
the meeting more interesting. At
noon a covered dish luncheon
served cafeteria style was thor
oughly enjoyed by all.
The lesson concerning “Morale
in the Home” was especially in
teresting to everyone, because as
parents, we play a vital part. The
urgent need for parents to awaken
to this responsibility is seen in the
reports of increases in juvenile de
linauency coming from all parts
of the country.
Family morale is important to
character and personality devel
opment at any time, but it is es
pecially important in time of na
tional emergency. It is important
in the life of the children who re
main at home. It is important to
the boy as a preparation for in
duction in the ser^i^e and it will
help him while in the service.
Plans were discussed for an af
ternoon Christmas #iarty for Wed
nesday, December 15. Next club
will meet with Mrs. Alfred Dray

O’Neill Boy Leads Notre
Dame To Victories
Since Frank Leahy, coach of
the Notre Dame foot ball team,
has become prominent on account
of the position his team has
taken as one of the greatest, if
not the greatest, team in the Uni
ted States for the year 1943, and
many claim it the greatest team
in the history of the game, his
personality has become of inter
est to the public and many sports
writers have written stories of
his life, many of them giving
Winner, S. D., as his birth place.
Frank is a native of this city and
this fact has been published many
times, but there -iu;e some who
will not, or do not care to, correct
themselves. The following trib
ute to Frank Leahy, his brothers
and uncles is from the pen of one
of the nation’s leading sports
writers, Davis Walsh, and appear
ed in the Chicago Herald Ameri
can on Sunday, November 14. It
will be interesting reading to the
many people in this city and
county who knew the Leahy fam
ily when they were residents of
this city.
This piece of imperishable lit
erature is being glibly tossed off
(within an elapsed time, not in
excess of five hours), well before
Notre Dame’s very svelte and sty
lish football team is placed on ex
hibition for its annual Fall show
ing in Chcago. In other words, it
hasn’t yet come out on Dyche Sta
dium for the Northwestern game
... a game it might conceivably
lose, to ruin a season in which its
deft and precise mastery of its
art has been such as to call forth
prolonged rhapsodies from a not
easily deluded press.
Some have even compared this
Notre Dame team with the Chi
cago (pro) Bears, to the latter’s
detriment and chagrin. The lat
ter, just to properly point up the
situation, are supposed to be the
last and ultimate word in foot

ball, which only goes to show to
what extremities the harassed
press boys have been driven by
Notre Dame’s excessive behavior.
What they actually mean is
they don’t like to use the word
“great” more than twice in any
given sentence.
We may gratiuitously add that,
when the mantle of greatness de
scends upon a football team, it is
good horse-sense to look to its
coach for the answer . . . just as,
in the event that a team is very
fat-headed, the coach gets fired.
We are trying to be very dispas
sionate in stating an opinion at
this point, which is that Frank
Leahy has done the finest coach
ng job of the last five years or
more with this Notre Dame foot
ball team of 1943.
Yes, but who is he? Where did i
he ever tend store? Is he the new
Rockne?
All that anybody seems to know
is that he was a good football
player at Notre Dame, though not
conspicuously so; that he was in
jured and didn’t finish his career,
and that he attained distinctive
success as a coach at Boston Col
lege before going to South Bend.
It, therefore, appears particu
larly appropriate at this point
. . . with national acclaim, if not
understanding, beginning to come
his way ... to get this intimate,
personal pedigree, forwarded by
a volunteer historian from the
man’s home town:
“Leahy was born at O’Neill
Nebr., in August, 1907. O’Neill
was founded by. and named after,
Gen. John O’Neill, head of the
Fenians in the United States. He
thought the Fenians could take
Canada and hold it as a ransom
for the freedom of Ireland. Fail
ing in this, he went west to es
tablish an Irish Utopia . . . thus,
O’Neill City.
“The Fenians were tough, and
their descendants were tough,
Dominick McCafferey, who fought
John L. Sullivan, Charley Mit
chell and Jim Corbett, was from
O’Neill. So was ‘Montana’ Jack
Sullivan, who fought Ketchell,
Flynn and M.cGoorty.
“Leahy’s father was one of the
strongest and toughest men in the
community. He managed ‘Mon
tana’ Jack Sullivan and was also
the only man ever to beat Far
mer Burns at ‘stick pulling,’ an
old-time sport in the West in
which two men sat facing each
other and attempted to pull one
another off the ground. He beat
Burns for a $1,000 side bet in
Omaha.
“Leahy’s grandfather was Capt.
Jack Kane, one-man police de
partment of O'Neill, who feared
nobody. Frank also had two un
cles, Jimmy and Matt Kane, who

were well-known boxers in the
West, fighting around Omaha,
Denver, Sioux City, etc.
"The great athlete of the Leahy
Kane clan, however, was Frank's
brother, Gene. He was, in my
opinion, the greatest football
player the Missouri Valley had
ever known, starring at Creigh
ton University for three years. If
he had gone to a well-known
school, they’d be talking about
him yet.
“He could do everything. And
he could fight. But, after a few
professional heavyweight engage
ments in which he knocked his
opponents cold in Round 1, he
suddenly quit the ring. He could
hit so hard, he actually was
afraid he would kill someone.
"Jack Leahy, two years younger
than Gene, was a well - known
boxer with the A. E. F. He was
wounded at Chateau-Thierry and
again at Belleau Wood, then came
back after the war to fight men
like Morrie Schlaifer and Cowboy
Padgett around the West. The
Leahys in general were on the
move at that time . . . shifting
their residence first to Roundup,
Mont., and then to Winner, S. D.
“When Frank was ready for col
lege, his brother, Gene, decided to
send him to Notre Dame, where
he’d have a chance for his ability
to be recognized.
“They will tell you around
O’Neill, Winner and Pine Ridge
Indian Reservation that Franlc
himself was qute a fighter. But,
when he arrived in South Bend,
he was just a poor kid and very
awed ... a total stranger in a
school that ran to big names. But
Rockne was not long in spotting
Frank as his kind of a guy, and
even when Leahy was permanent
ly incapacitated, Rockne aiway§
kept Frank by his side on the
bench.
“The old master never hesitated
in predicting a great coaching ca
reer for Leahy . . .”
There isn’t much that seems
worth adding to this, except to
say that ... to every visible and
practical purpose . . . the old mas
ter was never so right.
Fred lives in Bronson, Iowa, and has been with
the "North Western” for 20 years. Although
his work probably will never make headline
news, his job is vital. For he belongs to
that vast army of workers who keep roadbeds in top condition.
No "fair weather” men, these! Come rain or shine, sub-zero
temperature or blizzard weather, they’re on the job. Ties need
replacement — new rail is to be laid — ballast is to be added
whatever the job they do it cheerfully and well.
But when Fred’s driving a rail spike or tightening a bolt we*
wonder if he doesn’t wish occasionally, for the sake of his;
fighting sons, that a uniformed Jap or Nazi were the objects
of his attention.
He’d hardly be human if he didn’t. For his son, Sergeant Walter*,
has seen action as a bomber gunner in Sicily; Sergeant Ray has;
had nine months in North Africa; while Bill’s two hectic year*
in the Merchant Marine included service on the tanker low*
Arrow when it was torpedoed! Then there’s Lieutenant Elvirv*.
who has seven years of service behind him and is now an.
instructor at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
Fighting fathers and fighting
sons —"North Western” has
many of them. Some are fight
ing on the Transportation
Front, others on the Battle
Front. But they’re all playing
a real part in this war!
