February 15, 1941
THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, Detroit, Michigan, February 15, 1941  This 20 page newspaper has a seven column headline on page 11: "Notre Dame Signs Leahy to Succeed Layden as Grid Coach" with subheads and photo.

This tells of Frank Leahy becoming the new head coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish college football team. Leahy would become one of the most successful coaches at ND.

Other news of the day throughout with much on World War II (pre America involvement). Little spine wear, otherwise in good condition.
