The fact still remains that Ahwesh received week-end leave from the Army and attended the last four Duquesne gamer, the four in which the Pittsburghers have made their best showing. They won two of those four games.

They still looked impressive while losing to Boston University and unbeaten Clemson. What U. of Titans may be most interested in is the fact that Ahwesh is expected to be In Detroit Sunday to watch (or help) Duquesne in its battle with Coach Chuck Baer's gridders. The question has been batted about quite freely in Eastern newsprint THE REASON is this: Phil Ahwesh, head coach in 1949, was called to Army duty late in the summer with Pennsylvania's 28th Division of the National Guard, the same outfit which pulled Philadelphia's Whiz Kid Pitcher Curt Simmons out of the World Series. Ahwesh was replaced as Duke tutor by Lou (Doc) Skender, a veteran of 24 years' service as Duquesne assistant and freshman coach.

The Army sent Ahwesh to-Camp Arterbury, where he still is in bivouac as a captain with the 28th Division. As the war tempo in Korea slackened, Ahwesh found more time to recall his gridiron connections in Pittsburgh. .9 SOME EASTERN' newspapers said that Ahwesh was coaching GEORGE KELL Shoo-in for all-star berth Not even their Jim Konstanty, the loop's most valuable player, could make the grade.

Ahwesh, a slar halfback on the 1939-40-41 Duke elevens, was a Marine captain in the last war.

When he came back home, a National Guard unit In his home town (Canons-burg, Pa.) asked him to help organize it. Ahwesh succeeded so well that he wound up as a National Guard captain and when the 2Sth Division was tapped for service, he had to pick up his hat at Duquesne. That left the Dukes with their current coaching problem which they bring to Detroit Sunday. COATTA'S THE KEY horse," is the nrxt hurdle in the path of youthful Detroit Middleweight Ray Barnes.
