Coaching switch and race legends flash across Columbus notes
In Columbus Dale Rose leaves Capital University to coach at Upper Arlington replacing Doyg Perry as Woody Hayes’ new assistant. The AAA yearbook spotlights Henry Banks as a 37 year old driver winning the national title without a single Indianapolis 500 point, while 500 winners like Ted Horn and Ray Keech are recalled for their fates on the track. Tommy Henrich retires to coach with the Yankees, and Ironton St Joseph’s basketball prepares for next season without key players. Duke, UNC, NC State, and Wake Forest are cited for full athletic scholarships, with Princeton football beginning spring practice under Dick Kaamier as it rebuilds the 1951 squad.
